A recent study by UC Santa Barbara scientists analyzed whole-body fish samples taken from around oil-and-gas production platforms and natural sites for heavy metal pollutants. The results showed all but four elements were relatively consistent at both types of location. The findings were published in the Bulletin of Marine Science. The research, led by Milton S. Love, a research biologist with UCSB's Marine Science Institute, entailed collecting a total of 196 fish: 18 kelp bass (Paralabrax clathratus), 80 kelp rockfish (Sebastes atrovirens), and 98 Pacific sand dab (Citharichthys sordidus) from five offshore oil platforms and 10 natural areas during 2005 and 2006. Samples were taken at 19 sites between the Santa Barbara Channel in the north and Long Beach in the south. Three of the offshore islands, Santa Cruz, Anacapa, and Catalina, provided some of the natural sites.
