Abstract
Field studies directed towards evaluating the toxicity of oil dispersants to intertidal invertebrates were conducted at Anawhata, on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. Observations were concentrated on the barnacles Chamaesipho brunnea, Chamaesipho columna and Epopella plicata and the bivalves Xenostrobus pulex and Perna canaliculus. The field studies extended for a period of 140 days after treatment. Two recent dispersants, Shell SD LTX and BP1100 WD (Synperonic OSD 20) were compared with a dispersant, BP1002, from the Torrey Canyon era.
