| Comments | T. Rauch surveyed blennies on petroleum platforms in 1997 before and after Hurricane Danny passed through; found no major changes in assemblage structure. Surveyed blennies again in 1999 and found the same assemblage structure. Hypsoblennius invemar was very abundant down to 15 m in depth. |
