1 Dispersants, oil, and time: The resulting toxicological and physiological effects on the Gulf Killifish Christopher C Green Aquaculture Research Station Louisiana State University AgCenter

2 Response Time Oil degradation composition Biological persistence of exposure Water/air/sediment Salinity Biological uptake, clearance Microbial composition, abundance Chemically solubility Availability - Oil - Surfactant - Oil/surfactant

3 Gulf Killifish (Fundulus grandis) Estuary topminnow Long Spawning Season Familiar prey item for common sport fish Abundant important to estuarine food web

4 Relevance of Killifish Captive population Reliable reproduction Wide salinity tolerance Reside in critical habitat South Pass 17 May 21

5 Mesocosms H 2 (21 Gal) Sediment (5 Gal)

15 12 ppt days 28 days days although not acutely toxic, mortality still present LD 5 (95% CI) 2 COREXIT = >1 Oil/COREXIT = 36 (26, 52) LD 5 (95% CI) COREXIT = N/A 2 1 Oil/COREXIT = N/A COREXIT = N/A Oil/COREXIT = N/A week LD 5 (95% CI)

16 Non-dispersed oil lacks acute toxicity while chemically dispersed oil was acutely toxic 1 Week) The salinity of the water increases COREXIT 95A acute toxicity Low saline environments resulted in greater persistence of acute toxicity of both COREXIT and COREXIT/Oil mixtures thus potentially increasing exposure risk in coastal estuaries where salinities are low
