The present paper reports the results of a study of the effects of Corexit 9527 dispersant, crude oil, and crude oil/Corexit 9527 mixtures on mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) embryos. Mallard eggs treated with 20 ul of crude oil, Corexit 9527, 30:1 oil/Corexit 9527, 5:1 oil/Corexit 9527, and 5 ul Corexit 9527 and 5:1 oil/Corexit 9527 had significantly (P less than or equal to 0.01) lower hatching success than the untreated control eggs. The comparisons between treated groups and the control and among treated groups were used to create a general toxicity ranking; (Corexit 9527 = 5:1 oil/Corexit 9527) > Prudhoe Bay crude oil > 30:1 oil/Corexit 9527.
