The biological basis for remote sensing of oil spill impacts to fish 
populations

Due to a combination of small size and undeveloped detoxification 
systems, fish early life history stages (embryos and larvae) are 
demonstrably the most sensitive biological receptor for chemical injury 
from oil spills. Over the last three decades, field studies following 
two surface spills (1989 Exxon Valdez and 2007 Cosco Busan) have 
converged with laboratory studies following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon 
wellhead blowout to identify strong functional, morphological and 
cellular indicators of injury to developing fish from spilled oil. Fish 
injury studies on readily collectible nearshore, demersal spawning fish 
(e.g., Pacific herring) show the feasibility (by labor intensive means) 
of quantifying fish injury in situ either in real time during a spill or 
for extended periods afterwards. Monitoring injury to focal species is 
much more challenging, indeed, currently impossible, in the planktonic 
environment of the open ocean, or in harsh environments with limited 
access such as the Arctic. Forward-thinking research programs should 
focus on bringing together the most current biological understanding of 
oil spill impacts to fish (and other taxa) with measurement technologies 
that are deployable on remotely operated or automated sampling devices.
