Gulf coast oil spill

What are the baseline numbers from prior to the spill?
Those numbers are terrible, but can be quite misleading as well.
Of those 429, only 9 were visibly oiled.
Whats with the 338 pending? How hard is it to tell if there was oil on them or not?

Pending seems to be awaiting a determination of whether the critters died because of the oil spill, but I don't see how that would affect whether they were "visibly" oiled, or not?
