I doubt it. There were several studies attempting to connect the oil spill with speckled trout condition, reproduction, etc.
They were negative. The oil spill is a convenient target, but the careful science doesn't show any real link or even any problem with the trout on the E side of the state. They had a cold weather and a slow start, just like SW LA, but is was the weather rather than an anthropogenic factor.
