“…Pre-hatch. The buoyant eggs of many fish species are likely to be at risk from the influence of oil exposure due to their distribution in the water column, but their resilience may vary (Philiber et al 2019;Wobus et al 2015), particularly between saltwater and freshwater species. In combination with oil exposure, UV radiation from sunlight exhibits synergistic ability to enhance the effects of PAHs, known as photoinduced toxicity (Bridges et al 2018), which is a particular risk for transparent eggs.…”

In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, a number of government agencies, academic institutions, consultants, and nonprofit organizations conducted lab-and field-based research to understand the toxic effects of the oil. Lab testing was performed with a variety of fish, birds, turtles, and vertebrate cell lines (as well as invertebrates); field biologists conducted observations on fish, birds, turtles, and marine mammals; and epidemiologists carried out observational studies in humans. Eight years after the spill, scientists and resource managers held a workshop to summarize the similarities and differences in the effects of DWH oil on vertebrate taxa and to identify remaining gaps in our understanding of oil toxicity in wildlife and humans, building upon the cross-taxonomic synthesis initiated during the Natural Resource Damage Assessment. Across the studies, consistency was found in the types of toxic response observed in the different organisms. Impairment of stress responses and adrenal gland function, cardiotoxicity, immune system dysfunction, disruption of blood cells and their function, effects on locomotion, and oxidative damage were observed across taxa. This consistency suggests conservation in the mechanisms of action and disease pathogenesis. From a toxicological perspective, a logical progression of impacts was noted: from molecular and cellular effects that manifest as organ dysfunction, to systemic effects that compromise fitness, growth, reproductive potential, and survival. From a clinical perspective, adverse health effects from DWH oil spill exposure formed a suite of signs/symptomatic responses that at the highest doses/concentrations resulted in multi-organ system failure.

“…It is well established in marine pollution research that there are few standards test for fish to assess the toxicity of oil-related product like the use of inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) [62]. Even though some of the used fish species (saltwater/freshwater) like zebrafish and sheepshead minnow are considered tolerant to oil toxicity, but still they are being utilized due to the criteria for toxicity testing of oil product that they meet [63,64].…”

“…[11,75] have indicated that crude oils have a limited narrow range of acute toxicity marine biota even though those oils might have a wide range of hydrocarbons content. Toxicity in oils is primarily caused by the presence of PAHs as major constituents of oils [64,76] and more precisely the presence of naphthalene as oil drop emulsion is increased in WAF of oil [77]. It's imperative to mention too that when reviewing multiple oil toxicity studies in literature; a pattern of inconsistencies emerged indicating the difficulty and challenge in making comparisons between oil types and biological species investigated.…”

Accidental oil spillages can release millions of barrels of oil into the marine environment threatening aquatic wildlife like fisheries. As a part of the oil spill response strategy, several chemical dispersants have been recommended that have been successfully used elsewhere. However, the adverse effects of dispersed oil are unknown to fish species in Kuwait. Therefore, this study investigated the toxicity of water-accommodated fraction (WAF) and chemically enhanced water-accommodated fraction (CEWAF) of Kuwait crude oil (KCO) with three dispersants (Corexit® 9500, Corexit® 9527, and Slickgone® NS) against the larvae of the sobaity sea bream Sparidentex hasta which is of an international economic significance. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were used for comparison of chemical compounds partitioned in WAF of dispersed and non-dispersed oil. Toxicity test results with fish larvae showed that WAF of non-dispersed oil and Corexit® 9527 treated CEWAF had similar LC 50 values (0.12 g oil. l -1 ) whereas CEWAF's of Corexit® 9500 and Slickgone® NS CEWAF showed lower toxicity.

“…No long‐term effects on hypoxia tolerance nor temperature susceptibility were observed. Philiber, Lyons, Philibert, and Tierney (2019) examined the toxicity of various stages of weathered crude oil, unweathered crude oil, unweathered crude oil with dispersants and dispersants only on the early stages of C. variegatus variegatus (saltwater sheepshead minnow), and Danio rerio (freshwater zebrafish). Exposures commenced shortly after embryo fertilization and continued through embryological and larval stages (7–10 days) with mortality measured daily.…”

This review covers selected 2019 articles on the biological effects of pollutants, including human physical disturbances, on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems, and habitats. The review, based largely on journal articles, covers field, and laboratory measurement activities (bioaccumulation of contaminants, field assessment surveys, toxicity testing, and biomarkers) as well as pollution issues of current interest including endocrine disrupters, emerging contaminants, wastewater discharges, marine debris, dredging, and disposal. Special emphasis is placed on effects of oil spills and marine debris due largely to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico and proliferation of data on the assimilation and effects of marine debris microparticulates. Several topical areas reviewed in the past (e.g., mass mortalities ocean acidification) were dropped this year. The focus of this review is on effects, not on pollutant sources, chemistry, fate, or transport. There is considerable overlap across subject areas (e.g., some bioaccumulation data may be appeared in other topical categories such as effects of wastewater discharges, or biomarker studies appearing in oil toxicity literature). Therefore, we strongly urge readers to use keyword searching of the text and references to locate related but distributed information. Although nearly 400 papers are cited, these now represent a fraction of the literature on these subjects. Use this review mainly as a starting point. And please consult the original papers before citing them.
