- Abstract
The article examines the toxic effects of spilt oil from ships, and naval accidents on marine organisms such as copepods. For evaluating the toxic effects of oils on marine ecosystem when a significant amount of oils is spilt in the sea, it is necessary to examine experimentally the degree of toxic impact of oils on marine organisms. A lot of extensive studies have been performed to examine the toxic effects of crude, refined and fuel oils and petroleum products on marine organisms such as commercially important fishes, crabs and shellfishes. However, there is yet little information on the toxic effects of oils on small marine organisms such as copepods, that are important prey items for various aquatic animals.
