摘要: In Western Australia, the discharge of produced water (PW) by offshore petroleum production facilities is acceptable under specific conditions. Little known on effects PW health marine organisms attracted to submerged structures. Three have been selected for studying impact exposure fish health, as measured a suite biomarkers health. Physiological indices (liver somatic index, condition factor) well biochemical markers (EROD activity, biliary metabolites) and effect (DNA damage, stress proteins) assessed three different species captured in vicinity facilities. Condition factor was slightly reduced at one site only, but liver index elevated two locations. EROD activity DNA damage levels were high only facility discharging volumes PW. Naphthalene pyrene metabolites detected significant all Stress proteins HSP70 also The results suggest that while chemical characteristics are important, consideration loading (concentration × volume) crucial assessing environmental risks discharge.
