Abstract

Juvenile Atlantic cod and mummichog were exposed to a range of concentrations of produced water (PW) collected from the Hibernia oil production platform in 2005 and 2006. PAH exposure was measured by induction of cytochrome P-450 (CYP1A) as indicated by ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity. In short-term exposures mummichog exposed to PW collected near the produced water discharge of the platform showed no change in EROD response compared to controls. EROD activity in livers collected from juvenile cod was significantly elevated in response to exposure to dilutions of PW but only at concentrations greater than 1.67% by volume. When juvenile cod were exposed to 0.05% PW (by volume) for 45 days, there was no significant change in EROD activity, growth or plasma vitellogenin compared to unexposed fish. Embryo growth and heart rate in mummichog were slowed by exposure to dilutions of raw PW as low as 1%. However, mortality and developmental abnormalities were only observed at high concentrations (10 and 66%). PW from the Hibernia platform poses a low risk to cod and mummichog for the endpoints tested in this study.
