Low sulfur marine diesel (LSMD) is frequently involved in coastal spills and monitoring ecosystem damage, and the effectiveness of cleanup methods remains a challenge. The present study investigates the concentration and composition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) dispersed in LSMD seawater accommodated fractions (WAFs) and assesses the effects of exposure on juvenile coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch). Three WAFs were prepared with 333, 1067, and 3333 mg/L LSMD. The sum of 50 common PAHs and alkylated PAHs (tPAH50) measured by gas chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry showed saturation at similar to 90 mg/L for all WAFs. These WAFs were diluted 30% for 96 h fish exposures. qPCR was performed on liver and caudal fin from the same genotypically sexed individuals to evaluate PAH exposure, general and oxidative stress, estrogenic activity, and defense against metals. Excluding metal response, our analyses reveal significant changes in gene expression following WAF exposure on juvenile salmon with differential sensitivity between males and females. The 3-methylcholanthrene responsive cytochrome P450-1a (cyp1a) transcript exhibited the greatest increase in transcript abundance in the caudal fin (10-18-fold) and liver (6-10-fold). This demonstrates that cyp1a is a robust, sex-independent bioindicator of oil exposure in caudal fin, a tissue that is amenable to nonlethal sampling.
