Coastal Louisiana has been impacted by oil field activities for the last half century and the waters over the continental shelf west of the Mississippi River delta, are also subject to extensive periods of hypoxia during the summer months. Marine and estuarine fish are sensitive to exposure to the water-soluble fraction (WSF) of crude oil but their tolerance doesn’t change much after 12-24h exposure because of the presence of an inducible cytochrome P-450 enzyme system for metabolizing aromatic hydrocarbons. In contrast, invertebrates tolerate high concentrations of the WSF for short time periods, but their tolerance declines during long-term exposure. The determination of long term tolerance and sublethal biomarkers have not been used to assess the effects of gradients of oxygen tension and the WSF of crude oil on marine and estuarine fauna.The intent of this project was to study the combined effects of the WSF of South Louisiana crude oil and hypoxia on the tolerance of the Gulf killifish, and juvenile blue crabs and lesser blue crabs. In addition, the effects of chronic exposure of these species to sublethal concentrations of the WSF of crude oil on the tolerance, RNA: DNA ratios and killifish condition and induction of cytochrome P-450 enzymes were compared under hypoxic conditions with the responses of these species from more pristine locales. There have been no studies investigating these interactions to date.
