This review documents the current state of knowledge and gaps therein, as determined through a survey of published research on relevant topics, regarding the potential impacts of offshore oil production platforms (OPP) on the biology of highly migratory fish species (HMS) which include tunas, swordfish, billfishes, and oceanic sharks. There is a limited amount of published research directly related to HMS and OPPs. This may be due to the relatively recent offshore expansion of the industry and of studies. Most studies have focused on structure-associated species such as rockfishes and snappers. Within the U.S. exclusive economic zone, the most probable areas of interaction between HMS and OPPs occur in the Gulf of Mexico. This report focuses primarily upon this region, while noting that HMS roam the majority of the world’s oceans and may interact with petroleum infrastructure in many other locations. With such large stock boundaries it is unlikely that HMS interactions with OPPs will have a significant impact at the stock level, however, there could be impacts at local or regional levels.

石油生产平台及其作为鱼类聚集装置的功能对高度洄游鱼类生物学的潜在影响

本综述记录了当前的知识状态和差距，这是通过对相关主题的已发表研究的调查确定的，涉及海上石油生产平台 (OPP) 对高度洄游鱼类 (HMS) 生物学的潜在影响，包括金枪鱼、旗鱼、长嘴鱼和海洋鲨鱼。与 HMS 和 OPP 直接相关的已发表研究数量有限。这可能是由于该行业和研究相对最近的离岸扩张。大多数研究都集中在与结构相关的物种上，例如岩鱼和鲷鱼。在美国专属经济区内，HMS 和 OPP 之间最有可能互动的区域发生在墨西哥湾。本报告主要关注该地区，同时注意到 HMS 在世界大部分海洋中漫游，并可能与许多其他地方的石油基础设施相互作用。由于存量边界如此之大，HMS 与 OPP 的相互作用不太可能在存量层面产生重大影响，但是，可能会在地方或区域层面产生影响。
