"What we found was that the system works. It doesn't mean everything is OK and it doesn't mean that there isn't anything out there that isn't toxic. It just explains that the ecosystem is working to process this oil as if it were food."

The oil was treated as "fuel" to grow and reproduce, Graham said. "It's all biomass conversion. If I eat a cow that ate grass, I'm not eating grass; I'm eating what got converted into cow biomass."

Carbon is the element that forms the backbone of all life forms, so the evidence of the oil carbon in the zooplankton doesn't necessarily mean the food chain has become contaminated, Graham explained.

"But it does show a way oil components can make their way higher in the food web," he said. "The fact that the carbon did get higher in the food chain shows there is a ... connection between the bacteria and the food chain."

I will remain skeptical. I feel it is better to err on the side of caution. Let us see what other studies say. Catch and release everything in the Gulf until there is a consensus.
