Fish Embryos Exposed to Oil From BP Spill Develop Deformities, a Study Finds
The study, which examined developing tuna and amberjack, will be used in the damage assessment against BP in the Deepwater Horizon spill.
"Embryos of tuna and amberjack that were exposed to crude oil collected from the Deepwater Horizon spill
developed heart and other deformities that would probably kill some of
the developing fish and shorten the lives of others, a new study by a
team of marine scientists reported on Monday.
Their findings, published in the peer-reviewed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
will figure in the final assessment of damages for the disaster that
will be borne by BP, which operated the oil platform in the Gulf of
Mexico when the disaster occurred."
Good.
