Secondary productivity within biotic fouling community elements on two artificial reef structures in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico

Beaver, C., S. Childs, and Q. Dokken

Secondary productivity of two platform artificial reefs was examined sseagonally.

Predictions of mussel (Mytilus edulis) biomass on an offshore platform from single population samples

Richardson, C. A. and R. Seed

The allometric relationships between several size variables have been studied in population samples of the mussel Mytilus edulis from two offshore production platforms.

The macrofouling on offshore platforms at Ravenna

Relini, G., F. Tixi, M. Relini, and G. Torchi

The fouling which settles on gas platform piles was studied using samples taken in 1993 from the PCWA and ANTARES platforms positioned, at 7 and 10.5 km from the shore respectively and on bottoms at 12 m and 14 m in the Adriatic Sea.

Drilling platforms as artificial reefs: distribution of macrobenthic assemblages of the “Paguro” wreck (northern Adriatic Sea)

Ponti, M., M. Abbiati, and V. U. Ceccherelli

Offshore drilling raises the issue of disposal of platforms at the end of their productive cycle and re-use as artificial reefs has been proposed.

North Sea fouling organisms and their potential effects on the corrosion of North Sea Structures

Pipe, A.

The importance of the occurrence and vertical distribution on North Sea structures of several important fouling species, e.g.

Offshore petroleum

Pearce, F.

This paper very briefly discusses the fouling community living on a gas platform in Western Australia.

Oceanographic gradients and patterns in invertebrate assemblages on offshore oil platforms

Page, H. M., C. S. Culver, J. E. Dugan and B. Mardian

We explored variability in the composition and cover of subtidal macroinvertebrate assemblages, and the recruitment and growth rates of selected invertebrate species, on seven offshore oil and gas platforms arrayed across a gradient in oceanographic co

Differences in population structure and growth rate of the stalked barnacle Pollicipes polymerus between a rocky headland and an offshore oil platform

Page, H. M.

Population structure and growth rate of the stalked barnacle Pollicipes polymerus Sowerby differed between a rocky headland along protected outer coast (Goleta Point, Santa Barbara, California) and the supports of an 18 yr old oil production p

Discovery of a new genus and new species of Indo-West Pacific pilumnoidid crab from a submersible oil platform (Crustacea: Brachyura: Pseudozioidea)

Ng, P. K. L. and S. T. Ahyang

A new genus and new species of pseudozioid crab of the family Pilumnoididae is described from a fouling community on a semisubmersible oil platform in Singapore that had been operating in the Timor Sea and South China Sea. Setozius in-certus gen.

Distinguishing between contaminant and reef effects on meiofauna near offshore hydrocarbon platforms in the Gulf of Mexico

Montagna, P. A., S. C. Jarvis, and M. C. Kennicutt II

Offshore hydrocarbon production effects are localized in the Gulf of Mexico extending only 200 m from platforms. Effects are caused by the contaminant gradient or the fouling community on platform legs.
