摘要：

The Gulf, a warm and relatively shallow body of water, provides habitat for a rich collection of marine fauna and flora. The acute oil spill in January 1991 (about 6 million barrels of oil), threatened the sensitive ecosystems of the Gulf marine environment and affected 644 km of the coastline of Saudi Arabia. This short-term plankton investigation was conducted as part of the Mt Mitchell 100-day cruise in the Arabian Gulf. The results of the zooplankton survey indicate that there is no detectable effect of the oil pollution on the Gulf zooplankton abundance and distribution at the population level.
