From the Extended Abstract: “Hydroacoustic and video surveys were conducted from June 2013 to June 2014…on two toppled and three standing platforms located approximately 130 km off the coast of Louisiana…Results show a clear pattern of biomass decreasi
The purpose of this dissertation was to describe the association of red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, with oil and gas platform habitat in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Ages were estimated using transverse sections of sagittae.
The goal of this study was to determine mortality rates of hook-and-line caught and released red snapper around oil and gas platform structural habitat.
Ecological assemblages may be viewed as lying along a continuum between equilibrium and non-equilibrium. I investigated the position on this continuum of an assemblage of blennies found on offshore petroleum platforms in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

California's oil platforms are nearing the end of their productive lives and therefore will be decommissioned in the near future. These structures have been shown to be important habitats for both settlement and growth for reef fishes.
This paper outlines research conducted on the Buccaneer Oil and Gas Field, an isolated field located south southeast of Galveston, Texas. Objectives were to “1) identify and document the extent and types of biological, chemical, and physical alteratio
The fish fauna associated with two U.S. Navy research platforms, Stage I and Stage II, in the
northeastern Gulf of Mexico off Panama City, Fla., was studied at irregular intervals from 1970 to
The movement of 25 species of rockfishes and three incidentally-taken species was studied to provide information necessary for management of this nearshore resource.
