The percentage of different types of vegetation Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge (Wicker et al. 1983). in impoundments in the from the effect of the associated dense network of canals and spoil banks, but the density of marsh grass culms and average height was lower than in control areas (R. E. Turner; pers. comm.). Amphipods, total crustaceans, and total benthic organisms were reduced 50 percent compared to non-oilfield control areas (Lindstedt 1978). Killifish abundance was substantially less in oil- field marsh ponds than at control sites, although not statistically so because of the large confidence limits. However, the fecundity of Fundulus grandis in oilfield marshes was significantly lower than at control sites, especially the condition index of females 61-80 mm long (May 1977).
