Cod larvae oil exposure

ABSTRACT: This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the potential contribution of oil droplets to the toxicity of dispersed oil to fish larvae. Atlantic cod larvae were exposed to five concentrations of either dispersed oil (D1-D5) (containing oil droplets [medium size 10-14 µm based on volume] and water soluble fraction [WSF]) or the filtered dispersion containing only WSF of oil (W1-W5) for four days and harvested for transcriptional analysis at 13 days post hatching. The most significant differently expressed genes were observed in cod larvae exposed to the highest concentration of the dispersed oil (containing 10.41 ± 0.46 µg ∑PAH/L), with CYP1A showing the strongest response. Functional analysis further showed that the top scored network as analyzed with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was
