Toxicity of Oil Spill Response Agents and Crude Oils to Five Aquatic Test Species
The majority of aquatic toxicity data for petroleum products has been limited to a few intensively studied crude oils and Corexit chemical dispersants, and acute toxicity testing in two standard estuarine test species: mysids (Americamysis bahia) and inland silversides (Menidia beryllina). This stud...
