The impetus for this study began on 8 May 2011, when we noted sporadic mortality of colonies of orange—cup corals, Tubastrea coccinea (Lesson, 1829), and green sun corals, Tubastrea micranthus (Ehrenberg, 1834; Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Scl
The problems of fouling as they pertain to offshore platforms has been reviewed, the ways in which fouling species can colonise these structures discussed and the methods of control briefly summarised
Climax marine growth on several oil and gas platforms offshore Louisiana has been assessed. Dominant fouling species in different depth zones have been identified.
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.

As a consequence of the growing global demand of energy supplies, intense oil and gas exploration and exploitation programs have been carried out worldwide especially within the marine environments.

Detecting the anthropogenic impacts of offshore gas platforms requires reliable tools, because the traditional evaluation based only on chemical analyses is neither appropriate nor sufficiently sensitive.

Despite a large number of gas platforms existing in the Adriatic Sea, which is a semi-enclosed basin characterized by a slow turnover rate and increasing industrial as well as other anthropogenic activities, the effects of these structures on the aquat
Twelve species of barnacles were identified from the fouling community on the parts of the ‘Maui’ oil platform that were submerged during its tow from Japan in 1975 and after its arrival in New Zealand.
