Effect of oil production and drilling operations on the ecology of phytoplankton in the OEI study area
Abstract
From the Abstract: “Between June 1972 and January 1974, twelve cruises were made to study photosynthetic rates and the standing crop of phytoplankton off the Louisiana coast. Data from a production platform were compared with data from a control station 6 miles northwest of the platform with regard to photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton, chlorophyll a as a measure of the standing crop species composition, and nutrient
