“…These assessments may also include alterations to habitat that may exacerbate the impacts to fish populations (Lin and Mendelssohn, 2012). In addition, the potential for petroleum hydrocarbons to bioaccumulate in estuarine species following exposure to oil and oil-dispersant mixtures also been noted (Chase et al, 2013), and bioaccumulation should be assessed as well in population-level assessments.…”

Determining the long-term effects of crude oil exposure is critical for ascertaining population-level ecological risks of spill events. A 19-week complete life-cycle experiment was conducted with the estuarine sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) exposed to reference (uncontaminated) sediment spiked with laboratory weathered South Louisiana crude (SLC) oil at five concentrations as well as one unspiked sediment control and one seawater (no sediment) control. Newly hatched larvae were exposed to the oiled sediments at measured concentrations of < 1 (sediment control), 50, 103, 193, 347, and 711 mg total polyaromatic hydrocarbons (tPAH)/kg dry sediment. Juveniles were exposed through the reproductively active adult phase at measured concentrations of <1 (sediment control), 52, 109, 199, 358, and 751 mg tPAH/kg sediment. Throughout the exposure, fish were assessed for growth, survival, and reproduction. Resulting F1 embryos were then collected, incubated, and hatched in clean water to determine if parental full life-cycle exposure to oiled sediment produced trans-generational effects. Larvae experienced significantly reduced standard length (5-13% reduction) and wet weight (13-35% reduction) at concentrations at and above 50 and 103 mg tPAH/kg sediment, respectively. At 92 and 132 days post hatch (dph), standard length was reduced (7-13% reduction) at 199 and 109 mg tPAH/kg dry sediment, respectively, and wet weight for both time periods was reduced at concentrations at and above 109 mg tPAH/kg dry sediment (21-38% reduction). A significant reduction (51-65%) in F0 fecundity occurred at the two highest test concentrations, but no difference was observed in F1 embryo survival. This study is the first to report the effects of chronic laboratory exposure to oiled sediment, and will assist the development of population models for evaluating risk to benthic spawning fish species exposed to oiled sediments. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Research in other countries indicates that the oil causes nervous disorders in young fish, altering their perception and making them more susceptible to predation 13 . Crabs also accumulate toxins from petroleum hydrocarbons and dispersant products which, in theory, solve the oil spill problem -like in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 14 .…”

“…In addition, the bioaccumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in crustaceans has been suggested to be dependent on the characteristics of oil dispersions specifically small droplet sizes (Chase et al, 2013) but modeling the contribution of droplets to bioaccumulation of oil components also resulted in negligible changes when compared to the accumulation from the dissolved phase components (Viaene et al, 2014). The result of all these differing evidence clearly points out that a full physical and chemical characterization of oil-water dispersions is needed on every study to isolate physical and chemical effects when establishing potential links between the oil present in the exposure media and the observed biological reposes.…”
