Chlorophyll, primary production, zooplankton biomass and the species composition of
phytoplankton and zooplankton were studied in 2003, after the Prestige shipwreck. The …

While the ecological impacts of crude oil exposure have been widely studied, its sublethal
effects on phytoplankton community structure in salt marsh estuaries have not been well …

A multiphase oil spill model has been developed to simulate consequences of accidental oil
spills in the marine environment. Six state variables are computed simultaneously: an oil …
