ARCTIC Toxicity of Prudhoe Bay Crude Oil to Alaskan Arctic Zooplankton

ABSTRACT. Bioassay experiments were conducted to determine the relative susceptibilities of three arctic zooplankton species to oil pollution, and the results were compared with the effects of an actual oil spill on a pond near Barrow. In both the bioassays and the pond, the addition of Prudhoe Bay...
