Article Synopsis
- No comprehensive baselines for petroleum contamination existed in the Gulf of Mexico before this study, despite decades of oil production and frequent spills.
- The study conducted Gulf-wide fish surveys from 2011 to 2018, sampling over 2,500 fish from 91 species across 359 locations to evaluate biliary PAH concentrations.
- Results showed significantly higher PAH levels in the northern Gulf compared to other regions, with certain species like Yellowfin Tuna and Golden Tilefish exhibiting the highest concentrations, indicating ongoing complex interactions affecting oil contamination levels.
