Abstract
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, one of the largest in U.S. history, has been implicated in a variety of environ-mental and biological changes in the region (Williams et al. 2011, McCrea-Strub et al. 2011, White et al. 2012, Barron 2012, Silliman et al. 2012, Murawski et al. 2014). One of these is drastic reductions in reef fish abundance and substantial shifts in reef fish community composition (Patterson and Jagoe 2012).
