Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This work presents results on behavioral reactions and sensitivity of molluscs and fish to experimental modelling of accidental oil pollution during the first 72 hours. It is shown that mobile hydrobionts, such as fish attempt to escape the contaminated area during the first 24 hours after the oil spill. Benthic animals – molluscs are more susceptibleto pollution, they almost instantly lose their mobility, become inert and try to escape their shells further on, which serves as an evidence of death throes. Light crude with high content of paraffin was used for the present experiment.
