Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs.

total absence of… ^{完全没有…}

• The total absence of mind caused him to fail the exam. ^{total absence of mind 心不在焉}
