Effects of an offshore oil platform on the distribution and abundance of commercially important crab species

The distribution, abundance, and population characteristics of large, highly mobile crab species (Cancer antennarius, C. anthonyi, C. productus, Loxorhynchus grandis) differed in relation to an offshore oil platform in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, USA. Only C. antennarius individuals recru...

Zusammenfassung:	The distribution, abundance, and population characteristics of large, highly mobile crab species (Cancer antennarius, C. anthonyi, C. productus, Loxorhynchus grandis) differed in relation to an offshore oil platform in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, USA. Only C. antennarius individuals recruited onto the platform, primarily into the attached community of Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. californianus at depths of
