Oil and dispersants in Canadian seas : research appraisal and recommendations / edited by J. B. Sprague, J.H. Vandermeulen, P. G. Wells.: En46-3/82-2E-PDF
"This report evaluates knowledge of the fate and effects of oil spilled at sea and the implications of using dispersants, with special reference to Canadian marine environments. Almost 600 references from the scientific literature are utilized. Twelve chapters by individual scientists give perspectives on the Canadian oil industry; fate and behaviour of oil in the sea; microorganisms and degradation of oil; analytical chemistry; and effects of oil, dispersants, and chemically-dispersed oil on phytoplankton, macrophytes, zooplankton, fish, benthic and intertidal organisms, birds, marine mammals, and communities and ecosystems. Recommendations are given for further research that is required and strategies for minimizing effects of spills, again with emphasis on Canadian waters"--Abstract.
