Research examining fish assemblages associated with offshore petroleum platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) have indicated an ecological importance of these structures; however, the platforms further south on the warm-temperate San Pedro Shelf
Age and growth of the black scorpionfish, Scorpaena porcus, were estimated for different populations inhabiting natural reefs and artificial structures (artificial reefs and offshore gas platforms) in the northwestern Adriatic Sea.

Offshore petroleum platforms in the northern Gulf of Mexico provide a unique environment for many reef-associated and pelagic fish species; however, the factors that contribute to increased localized fish abundance remain poorly quantified.
Two fish species, cod and haddock have been sampled from five different regions in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, the Haltenbanken and the Barents Sea.
The Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus is a highly exploited commercial and recreational species that dominates the artificial reef systems in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
With over ~2600 oil and gas platforms (platforms) remaining in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), the Gulf States have access to one of the most unique fisheries in the world.
Stable isotope methods offer a powerful means of investigating trophic interactions, allowing assessment of the relative importance of multiple nutrient sources to biological assemblages, as well as estimation of the trophic positions of consumers.
Fish were collected near two actively drilling, petroleum-well platforms and from control areas near the Flower Garden Banks, a natural reef area in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.
