Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how Pacific herring embryos accumulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in locations affected by a partially completed removal of creosote-treated pilings (CTPs).
- Embryos near undisturbed CTPs had higher levels of PAHs and increased expression of the cyp1a gene compared to those from cleaner reference areas.
- After CTP removal, embryos near debris showed PAH levels 90 times higher than reference areas, highlighting the risks of incomplete CTP removal for vulnerable fish populations.
