| Abstract |
Young coho and sockeye salmon, acclimated to 30 parts per thousand salinity, were exposed in various ways to different amounts of crude oil from the Prudhoe Bay field. Oil poured on the surface of the water in 95 liter (25 gallon) aquaria produced significant mortalities when the oil concentration was 500 ppm or greater. Fish dipped into a crude oil film, or with a drop of oil placed directly on each gill, showed no significant mortalities. The same was true of fish force-fed crude oil at 1 g per 100 g body weight. Oil that had been exposed to air for 30 days produced no significant mortalities. Among oil components tested for toxicity on coho salmon, aliphatic compounds were not lethal. Mono-cyclic aromatics were generally toxic, the degree of toxicity increasing with the degree of unsaturation. |
