From the text: “There is strong evidence that there is represented in the northwestern Gulf a heretofore unexploited population of [red snapper] spawners over soft bottoms and some indications that this group of fish may be the major source of recruits
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.

From the Abstract: “Bibliographic searches were made of eight databases for information and data describing the environmental characteristics and biota of the Gulf of Mexico.
In May 2003, 125 red snapper were captured with hook and line at several platforms in a 35 km2 portion of the South Timbalier oil and gas lease blocks, 50 km south of Port Fourchon, Louisiana.

We estimated red snapper Lutjanus campechanus, abundance, age frequency, fecundity, and
mortality, through a fishery independent survey. We tested six capture methods: bandit rigs, gill
