The general sequence of such effects was: increased activity; successively impaired activity; immobilization; and death. Recovery is good for fish and crustaceans but poor for bivalves due to the delayed effects. Ecological consequences of dispersants and oil pollution in the marine environment are ...
The oil slick formed may remain cohesive, or may break up in the case of rough seas. Waves, water currents, and wind force the oil slick to drift over large areas, impacting the open ocean, coastal areas, and marine and terrestrial habitats in the path of the drift. Oil that contains...
study were thus to measure the earliest ecotoxicological effects (first days) of oil spills on marine biota, and additionally to test a number of tools that may enable rapid assessment of the biological availability and potential ecotoxicological effects of oil dissolved or entrained in marine water...

The scale of waste discharges to the marine environment from the pulp and paper industry in various parts of the world is outlined and a brief description of the major characteristics of such wastes is given. The information available on the direct toxic
This is sometimes devastating for the local habitats and fish populations and for the incomes of the fishers who rely on them.Chapter 9: Vessel PollutionGo To Chapter 9There are countless millions of boats and ships in our oceans, ranging in size from small pleasure boats to massive oil ...
In the present study, we used a field-generated ISB residue to study the acute and long-term effects on Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) larvae and compared that to effects from the crude oil. Northern shrimp has been chosen as a representative zooplankton species of the marine ecosystem, ...
Initially, however, some brief mention will be made of the general characteristics of the effluents concerned, of direct and indirect toxicity effects and of some general effects on the overlying marine water column.
