Fig. 4: Example of life history.

From: Oil droplets are severely overlooked in risk assessments

Fig. 4

Exposure history and drift trajectory for the 11.5 days long egg stage of an egg in the model. Concentrations of dissolved (upper) and droplet (middle) oil are the concentrations at the time-varying position of the egg (right panels). The accumulated droplet mass (lower) is given by the collision model and increases when droplets attach to the egg. Note the use of log scale in all the left panels. In the trajectory plot, the black square is the spawning position where the egg is released, the white square is the oil release site, and the arrow is the hatching position. The map region is shown on the larger map in Fig. 3.
