A guide to toxicity assessment and monitoring effects at lower levels of biological organization following marine oil spills in European waters

The usefulness of applying biological-effects techniques (bioassays and biomarkers) as tools to assist in evaluating damage to the health of marine ecosystems produced by oil spills has been demonstrated clearly during recent decades. Guidelines are provided for the use of biological-effects techniq...
