Unexpected interaction with dispersed crude oil droplets drives severe toxicity in Atlantic haddock embryos.

The toxicity resulting from exposure to oil droplets in marine fish embryos and larvae is still subject for debate. The most detailed studies have investigated the effects of water-dissolved components of crude oil in water accommodated fractions (WAFs) that lack bulk oil droplets. Although exposure...
