The Oil – Fish Programme
The overarching objective of this programme is to generate new knowledge about the acute and long-term effects on fish and other marine organisms of discharges of oil to the sea, chemicals used in drilling and production, and produced water, as well as to obtain new knowledge about the effects of seismic studies on fish and other marine organisms.
