The effect of a fuel oil spill on benthic invertebrates and water quality on the Alaskan arctic slope, Happy Valley Creek near Sagwon, Alaska
Samples of aquatic organisms and water were collected upstream and downstream from leaks and spills of arctic diesel fuel oil into Happy Valley Creek near Sagwon, Alaska. All groups of benthic invertebrates were reduced in abundance at the downstream boundary of the spill area, whereas invertebrates at an upstream site were unaffected.
