| Abstract: | Crude oils, oil derivatives and especially mixtures of oil and dispersant are harmful to larvae of some marine bivalve molluscs, but high concentrations are needed to cause death. Such high concentrations are unlikely to be reached in the open sea but are possible inshore or in estuaries which are the site of commercial shell-fisheries. The fact that spermatozoa are particularly sensitive to these compounds may have important consequences for the breeding success of contaminated bivalve populations. |
