Abstract

The goals of this chapter are to discuss, compare and contrast these new or altered protocols with the initial Chemical Response to Oil Spills: Ecological Effects Research Forum (CROSERF) methods. Although we do not advocate for any specific approach, we do provide a summary of updated guidelines and present recommendations for improvements to the standard protocols for future aquatic toxicity testing with oil and/or chemical dispersants.
