contaminated. By 1988 the area contaminated had
increased an d included station groups b, c an d d
(Fig. 6, Table 4) . By 1991 all stations differed from the
reference stations suggesting that the whole field was
contaminated out to 6000 m on all axes.
It is of interest to find which environmental vari-
a b l e ( ~ ) ere responsible for the observed grouping of
stations, especially that leading to contamination at the
outermost group b compared with the reference
group a (Fig.6) .Barium is a good tracer for dispersal of
drill-cuttings. In order to illustrate relations between
concentrations of Ba in the sediment an d the obtained
station groups (Figs. 6 to 8 ),values from the individual
stations, each containing 3 replicates, were plotted as
means with 95% confidence intervals (Fig. 9) . Th e
plots clearly show, sav e for Veslefrikk in 1990,a signif-
icant increas e in the concentrations of Ba towards the
platforms and that the outermost, uncontaminated
group a have significantly lower concentrations of Ba
in the sediment.
Yet it is not Ba alone that ch anges along the gradient.
Inspection of the environmental variable data-matrix,
and a superimposition of the environmental variables
(not shown) on the PC A plot, showed that the variables

Comparison of the pa ttern s of effects on the fauna
(Figs. 10 to 12) with the patte rns of co ntamination
(Figs. 6 to 8) showed that there were remarkably few
differences. In general the effects, with 4 categories,
closely rn~micked ontamination. In terms of ar ea , at
Valhall 1991 only 2 contaminated stations had u n-affected fauna (344"/4000 m and 6000 m) .At Gyda in
1993 only 1 station, station 225"/4000 m , was contami-
nated but h ad an unaffected faun a, wherea s at Vesle-
frikk in 1993, 2 stations were contaminated (260°/
1000 m and 330°/1000 m) and t he fauna was un-
affec ted. Effects of c ontaminatio n thu s closely followed
contamination and the areas affected were nearly
identical.Table 5 illustrates results from forward selection of
environmental variables in CANOCO and from the

BIOENV analyses for the Valhall, Gyda an d Veslefrikk
fields over time. Table 5 shows clearly that whereas t he
fauna at Valhall was already affected by oil-related
contaminants (Sr, Ba an d THC) in 1985, this was not so
at Gyda and Veslefrikk. At the latter 2 fields the sur-
veys done in 1987 correspond closely to baseline sur-
veys with low percentage values from the forward
selection in CANOCO and low r, values from BIOENV.Furthermore, the most important variables (Cu at
Gyda an d dept h at Veslefrikk) were not those typically
associated with oil-related effects such as Sr, Ba an d
THC, as a t Valhall in 1985.
In 1990 both th e Gyda a nd Veslefrikk fields showed
clear relationships to variables associated with drill-
cuttings (THC, Ba, and Zn) and both the p ercenta ge
variance values from forward selection and the r, val-
ues increased greatly from 1987 to 1990 at the 2 fields,
indicating clear relationships betwee n fauna1 composi-tion and sediment contaminat ion in 1990. In 1993 the
Gyda field had variable loadings comparable to those

Ba and Sr as the most important variables in both
CANOCO and BIOENV
In 1991 at Valhall (Table 5a) the CAN OCO forward
selection suggested TOC, Zn, Pb, THC an d Sr a s the
most important variables related to the fauna whereas
BIOENV ranked the variables: THC, Sr, Zn, Ba andTOC. Overall the same 5 variables were ranked signif-
icantly, and all showed a high de gree of correlation

with the f aunal composition. This shows that the differ-
ences between methods were small, and that in an
area clearly affected by drill-cuttings all the variables
related to the discharges were highly intercorrelated.
In 1993 at Veslefrikk (T able 5c) the key vari ables asso-
ciated with faunal changes were the heavy metals Cd,
Cu, Zn, Pb and the TOC in CANOCO and Fe, Cd, Cu,Pb an d Zn in BIOENV. Of t he 5 most signific ant only
TOC and Fe were not selected in both methods, again
