Effects of naphthalene on gene transcription in Calanus finmarchicus (Crustacea: Copepoda)

The planktonic copepod Calanus finmarchicus is a key species in the Northern Atlantic food web; an oceanic area with extensive oil production. Naphthalene is one of the major constituents of produced water and water soluble fractions of petrogenic oils. This study investigates the effects on gene tr...
