Survival of pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ) fry to adulthood following a 10-day exposure to the aromatic hydrocarbon water-soluble fraction of crude oil and release to the Pacific Ocean
Saltwater-acclimated, coded-wire tagged, and adipose fin clipped pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) fry were exposed for 10 days to seawater (control) or 25-54 μg·L -1 (low dose) or 178-349 μg·L -1 (high dose) of the water-soluble fraction (WSF) of North Slope crude oil. The WSF was composed prima...
