Interactions between Zooplankton and Crude Oil: Toxic Effects and Bioaccumulation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We conducted ship-, shore- and laboratory-based crude oil exposure experiments to investigate (1) the effects of crude oil (Louisiana light sweet oil) on survival and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mesozooplankton ...

Exploration of marine bacterioplankton community assembly mechanisms during chemical dispersant and surfactant-assisted oil biodegradation. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Assembly processes in marine microbial communities amended with crude oil and chemical dispersant are poorly understood and even more so when biosurfactants are used.

Chemical Dispersant Enhances Microbial Exopolymer (EPS) Production and Formation of Marine Oil/Dispersant Snow in Surface Waters of the Subarctic Northeast Atlantic. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2019 A notable feature of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the unprecedented formation of marine oil snow (MOS) that was observed in large quantities floating on the sea surface and that subsequently sedimented to the seafloor.

Diatom aggregation when exposed to crude oil and chemical dispersant: Potential impacts of ocean acidification. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Diatoms play a key role in the marine carbon cycle with their high primary productivity and release of exudates such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP). These exudates contribute to aggregates (marine

Transcriptomic Responses of Deep-Sea Corals Experimentally Exposed to Crude Oil and Dispersant
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Resource extraction from the ocean comes with ecosystem-wide risks, including threats to its biota such as the habitat forming corals that support elevated biomass and biodiversity.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Currently, oil spill pollution is one of the major environmental concerns for sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) aquaculture. During oil spills, spraying chemical dispersants is generally considered an efficient oil spill response. However, the impact
