Chlorpyrifos effects to Stage IV American Lobster

Sublethal effects of pesticide exposure can impact the health and survival of economically important non-target species such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus). In the current study, the gene expression changes of H. americanus stage IV larvae were evaluated to understand the physiological mechanisms affected by exposure to sublethal chlorpyrifos. After 48 h chlorpyrifos exposure, surviving lobsters were processed for Illumina RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
