Transcriptomic effect of parental exposure to a crude oil water-soluble fraction in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) early life stages

ABSTRACT: This study investigates how parental exposure to the water-soluble fraction (WSF) of crude oil influences transcriptomic profiles in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) offspring. Fish were exposed to WSF for 20 days prior to spawning, and four offspring groups were generated by fertilization: control (unexposed parents), maternally exposed, paternally exposed, and biparentally exposed. Transcriptome analyses of embryos were performed at key developmental stages at 0, 2, 4 and 21 days post feralization (dpf) and the observed changes were correlated with phenotypic traits such as cardiac function and morphological measurements. Offspring groups from exposed females died before hatching. Transcriptome analyses indicated severe suppression or absence of expression of genes involved in early developm
