developmental defects that we're seeing in killifish, cardiovascular, their hearts aren't formed properly and that doesn't bode well for a fish's health. >> would you say that this is rock solid? >> no science is rock solid. and this is the language of science that sometimes opens the door to the spread of misinformation by parties that have other self-interests. scientists never say this is it for sure. but the weight of evidence is very clear that there's a very strong correlation causatively, we know oil causes these kinds of effects. we know we saw these effects in the field in the lab coincident with the arrival and timing of oil, the effects we see in killifish and the noaa folks saw in their fish were at the kinds of doses that we saw all over the gulf with the spill.
