The effects of oil spill on marine organisms and marine ecosystems have been reviewed.The oil spill accidents in waters of Pearl River estuary in recent years have been summarized.The potential adverse effects of oil spills on the ecosystem of Pearl River estuary have been mentioned. Key words:...
Some of the most far-reaching damage of oil spills happens near shorelines. This is an area used as the nesting or breeding grounds for the next generation of sea life. Many species spend most of their lives at sea, but must come ashore to breed or give birth. Sea turtles and marine ...
Oil pollution occurs when crude oil and its refined products are spilled into the environment by the activities of man. The consequences of oil spills are more severe in aquatic ecosystem. They interfere with functioning of various organ systems of plants and animals. Apart from its effect on ...
In the last thirty-odd years, the issue of oil spills and their effects has taken on much importance. This is because when an oil spill occurs, itcauses a multitude of problemsfor the environment and us. Anoil spill happenswhen liquid petroleum is released into the environment by vehicle, ...
Our results demonstrate that, contrary to common thinking, even small spills have immediate adverse biological effects and their recurrent nature is likely to affect marine ecosystem functioning. Large oil spills have negative effects on marine ecosystems, but the effects of chronic smallscale spills ...
The participants in a workshop considering research needed to determine chronic effects of oil on the marine environment agree that much more research is needed and that high priorities, both in time and money, should be given to an ecosystem approach involving multidisciplinary studies. Initially, ...
Effects of Oil Spills on Terrestrial Arthropods in Coastal Wetlands Coastal wetlands are important to human well-being and vulnerable to oil spills. Research on biotic effects of oil has been focused on microbes, plants, an... SC Pennings,McCall Brittany D.,HB Linda - 《Bioscience》 被引量:...

Ecotoxicological effects of (larger) oil spills have also been described in great detail, but as a consequence of the accidental nature of spills and the typical delay in detection, their early impacts are poorly documented. Dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbon concentrations in the seawater to which...
