      Shipping activities are expected to increase in the Arctic Seas. Today, the majority of vessels are using marine diesel oil (MDO) as propulsion fuel. However, there is a general lack of knowledge of how cold-water marine species respond to acute exposures to MDO. Arctic red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus) were exposed to mechanically dispersed MDO in a flow-through exposure system for one ...
    • Early life stages of an arctic keystone species (Boreogadus saida) show high sensitivity to a water-soluble fraction of crude oil

      Increasing anthropogenic activities in the Arctic represent an enhanced threat for oil pollution in a marine environment that is already at risk from climate warming. In particular, this applies to species with free-living pelagic larvae that aggregate in surface waters and under the sea ice where hydrocarbons are likely to remain for extended periods of time due to low temperatures. We exposed the ...
    • Effects of acute exposure to dispersed oil and burned oil residue on long-term survival, growth, and reproductive development in polar cod (Boreogadus saida)

      The present study investigates the potential long-term physiological effects on maturing polar cod (<i>Boreogadus saida</i>), an Arctic key species, after an acute exposure (48 h) to environmentally realistic concentrations of either mechanically dispersed oil (MDO), chemically dispersed oil (CDO) or burned oil residues (BO) (N = 58–60 per treatment). Following exposure, fish were monitored in a ...
    • Growth and metabolism of adult polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in response to dietary crude oil

      The increasing human presence in the Arctic shelf seas, with the expansion of oil and gas industries and maritime shipping, poses a risk for Arctic marine organisms such as the key species polar cod (<i>Boreogadus saida</i>). The impact of dietary crude oil on growth and metabolism of polar cod was investigated in the early spring (March–April) when individuals are expected to be in a vulnerable ...
    • No observed developmental effects in early life stages of capelin (Mallotus villosus) exposed to a water-soluble fraction of crude oil during embryonic development 

      Nahrgang, Jasmine; Granlund, Adina Cassandra; Bender, Morgan Lizabeth; Sørensen, Lisbet; Greenacre, Michael; Frantzen, marianne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-12)
      The rise in offshore oil and gas operations, maritime shipping, and tourism in northern latitudes enhances the risk of oil spills to sub-Arctic and Arctic coastal environments. Therefore, there is a need to understand the potential adverse effects of petroleum on key species in these areas. Here, we investigated the effects of oil exposure on the early life stages of capelin (Mallotus villosus), ...
    • Spawning time in adult polar cod (Boreogadus saida) altered by crude oil exposure, independent of food availability 

      Strople, Leah Catherine; Vieweg, Ireen; Yadetie, Fekadu; Odei, Derrick Kwame; Thorsen, Anders; Karlsen, Odd André; Goksøyr, Anders; Sørensen, Lisbet; Sarno, Antonio; Hansen, Bjørn Henrik; Frantzen, marianne; Hansen, Øyvind J; Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Nahrgang, Jasmine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-03)
      Fish early life stages are well known for their sensitivity to crude oil exposure. However, the effect of crude oil exposure on adults and their gametes during their spawning period is not well studied. Polar cod, a key arctic fish, may be at risk for crude oil exposure during this potentially sensitive life stage. Additionally, this species experiences lower food availability during their spawning ...
