Proceedings of the national peer review workshop on identifying research requirements for the biological effects of oil and gas-related contaminants on aquatic ecosystems; March 26‑27, 2014
Chairperson: Gilles Olivier
Editor: Bradley Park
Summary
A national peer review workshop was held March 26-27, 2014 at the Minto Suite Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario. The purpose of the workshop was to identify research requirements for the biological effects of oil and gas industry-related contaminants on aquatic biota. Workshop participants critically reviewed a research document entitled “Literature Review on the Aquatic Toxicology of Crude Oil: An Overview of Toxic Components and the Acute and Chronic Toxicity to Aquatic Organisms”, and helped formulate biological effects research priorities. A total of 17 participants attended the workshop, including experts from DFO Science, Environment Canada, Academia, a non-Governmental organization, and US Federal Science organizations. This Proceedings report summarizes the material presented, key discussion items, and decisions reached at the workshop. A supporting Research Document resulting from the workshop is published on the CSAS website.
