From the Abstract: “At present, environmental impacts from offshore oil and gas activities are partly determined by measuring changes in macrofauna diversity.

The Mediterranean Sea hosts hundreds of offshore gas platforms, whose activity represents a potential
threat to marine ecosystems. Evidence from several studies indicates that nematodes can be highly

From the Abstract: “Effects of an experimental pollution by neogenous and fossil organic matter on microphyto- and macrozoobenthic communities were studied in situ over a 1 yr period (July 1989 to May 1990) in a shallow microtidal bay (Gulf of Fos, sou
From the Abstract: “By using community parameters such as diversity of equitability, it has been shown that the [benthic] fauna responds with a dramatic drop in values of these measures closest to the platform.
From the Abstract: “Offshore and Timbalir Bay, Louisiana, sites were sampled with trawls and benthic grabs to determine if there have been any effects of petroleum drilling and production activities upon the invertebrate fauna of the area.
From the Abstract: “Multiyear, multidisciplinary monitoring studies began in October 1986 off Point Conception and the adjacent Santa Maria Basin, California, to detect changes in deepwater benthic communities and determine if changes were associated w
