摘要
The effects of oil, released after the Venpet-Venoil collision in December 1977, on the intertidal fauna along the South Coast of South Africa have been monitored at monthly intervals since the incident. Localized areas, such as estuaries and sheltered coves, suffered the greatest damage due to the smothering effects of the oil. Damage to the remaining areas has been slight owing to the patchy distribution of the oil together with its physical and chemical characteristics. © 1979.
