Relative body burden (%) of select 2–6 ring PAHs and alkyl PAHs in larvae of cod exposed to ~9 μg/L tPAH, haddock exposed to WSF and haddock exposed to ~9 μg/L tPAH who hatched in the tank and that was dechorionated.

<p>NAP = naphthalene, FLU = fluorene, DBT = dibenzothiophene, PYR = pyrene, CHR = chrysene.</p

Observed relationship between log <i>K</i>_OW and rate of decline in body burden concentration from day 3 to day 9 during exposure of crude oil exposed haddock embryos.

<p>The fitted line shows a third-degree polynomial fit for 3–6 ring compounds (blue circles). 2-ring PAHs (red circles) showed a linear increase with increasing log <i>K</i>_OW.</p

Relative body burden (%) of select 2–6 ring PAHs and alkyl PAHs in larvae of cod exposed to ~9 μg/L tPAH, haddock exposed to WSF and haddock exposed to ~9 μg/L tPAH who hatched in the tank and that was dechorionated.

<p>NAP = naphthalene, FLU = fluorene, DBT = dibenzothiophene, PYR = pyrene, CHR = chrysene.</p

Deviation in body burden (pg/embryo) of PAHs and alkyl PAH groups between day 9 and day 3 for an intermediate exposure concentration (~3 μg/L tPAH).

<p>Negative values indicate a decline in body burden of the compound group between the two time points. NAP = naphthalene, FLU = fluorene, DBT = dibenzothiophene, PYR = pyrene, CHR = chrysene.</p

Coefficient of determination (R2) as a function of log KOW for the fit of a linear relationship between cyp1a induction and single compound body burdens.

Total PAH body burden (including alkyl clusters) measured in cod and haddock eggs at day 3 and day 9 of exposure.
