1 How was the biology of a marsh fish affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? Fernando Galvez Dept. of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University
2 Research model Gulf Killifish (Fundulus grandis) most abundant vertebrate in coastal marshes easy to raise in captivity relatively sensitive to chemical toxicity transparent embryos extensive characterization of embryology, physiology, biochemistry, ecology, and population genetics growing genomics tool kit (genome sequence, RNA-seq, bioinformatics, morpholinos) Photo: A. Whitehead
3 Overview of Presentation
4 Experimental Questions 1. What are the physiological and molecular impacts of oil exposure at different stages of fish development? - fitness level consequences 2. What is the geographical and temporal extent of oiling in the field? 3. How does evolutionary history and exposure history affect the sensitivity of fish to DWH oil?
5 Basic Facts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Approximately 800 million liters of oil was released during 87 days Oil was spread over 180,000 km 2 Approximately 6.9 million liters of chemical dispersant was added Exxon Valdez oil spill released approximately 40 million liters
6 Maps of Shoreline Oiling Data 1,770 km of shoreline were oiled 790 km of Louisiana shoreline were oiled

8 Sample Sites for Gulf Killifish Monitoring BSL BFP BLB MB FMA GT Grande Terre (GT), Louisiana Bay St. Louis (BSL) and Belle Fontaine Point (BFP), Mississippi Bayou La Batre (BLB), Fort Morgan (FMA) and Upper Mobile Bay (MB), Alabama
9 Track marsh fish health before, during DWH oil exposure, and during a recovery period MB FMA BSL BFP BLB GT In our sampling, GT was the only location that oil made landfall (between June 9-14, 2010). Extremely high concentrations of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in the sediment.

25 Conclusions Large signal of hydrocarbon exposure exists in Louisiana marsh fish collected in situ. CYP1a expression is highly elevated in the gills and livers of fish collected from oil-contaminated sites. Transcriptomics data suggest potential for reduced reproductive capacity and alterations in cardiovascular physiology
