Abstract

DTU Aqua researchers study fish communities around an oil and gas platform in the North Sea.

Researchers explored if there is higher fish biodiversity, fish abundance, and larger fish near the platform.

Results reveal a higher biodiversity and abundance near the platform, revealing how these platforms could positively impact local marine life.

Similarly, many fish are larger in body size near the platform.

This is the second in a series of videos about research conducted by DTU Aqua on the importance of oil and gas platforms for fish and fisheries.

Students are welcome to join DTU Aqua platform projects and other research projects.
