Purpose:

To study the effect of hypoxia on survival of sheepshead minnow larvae exposed to Corexit 9500, or CEWAFs and WAFs prepared from Macondo Surrogate Oil.

Data Parameters and Units:

Data represents raw data on sheepshead larvae survival as a function of treatment under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. The first page presents cumulated survival data (percentage) as a function of treatment (Corexit, CEWAF, WAF) under normoxic or hypoxic conditions as a function of treatment concentration in mg/L. All exposures were done with 1dph larvae exposed for 48 hrs with 15 individual replicate organisms. The second page includes raw data on survival in 1 dph larvae after 48 hrs exposure as a function of Corexit 9500 exposure in mg/L under either normoxic or hypoxic conditions scoring each larvae as either live (1=yes, 0 = no) or dead (1=yes, 0=no). Pages three and four present raw data expressed in the same way from similar experiments with larvae exposed to WAF or CEWAF solutions. Page five presents data on the nominal loadings of CEWAFs of WAFs in mg/L based on the amount of oil used to prepare the solutions as compared to measured values of aromatic hydrocarbons determined by fluorescence spectrometry.
