Impact of "Amoco Cadiz" oil spill on the seabirds. Preliminary results |
|
|
|
|
Immediatly following the AMOCO CADIZ oil spill, the S.E.P.N.B. carried out health centers for oiled birds from Finistère, and estimated the impact of the oil spill on seabirds. In the whole, 15 to 20 000 birds are dead because of the AMOCO CADIZ oil spill. 41 species have been oiled, among which 35 usually live in marine environment. The species most stressed belong to alcidae. The mortality rate (0,1 bird/ton of oil) seems to be, at present day, the lowest rate never mentionned in the littérature. |
