• 'Ghost nutrients' from fish farms are transferred up the food web by phytoplankton grazers (2009, background): “This could explain the increase in wild fish abundance and biomass (Machias et al. 2004, 2005, 2006) as well as the lack of increase in phytoplankton biomass (Pitta et al. 1999, 2005b, Soto & Norambuena 2004) in areas with fish farming.”
• Response of demersal fish communities to the presence of fish farms (2005, background): “The same trend has been observed when comparing the period before and after the aquaculture establishment in the region of Evia island (Machias et al. 2004), with these 2 biodiversity indices being higher after the establishment of fish farms in comparison to the ‘before’ period.”
• Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “2010, Holmer 2010), invertebrates (Machias et al. 2004), marine mammals (Bonizzoni et al.”
• Aquaculture Production and Biodiversity Conservation (2009, background): “These studies (Machias et al. 2004, 2005) concerned waters of relatively low nutrient content, and they incorporated farms at a level below the assimilative capacity of water.”
• Sedimentation of organic matter from fish farms in oligotrophic Mediterranean assessed through bulk and stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) analyses (2007, background): “At deep Mediterranean fish farms (N20 m) it is not likely that the bulk of intact pellets reaches the sediment floor, as most farms, and also those observed here, are surrounded by large assemblages of wild fish, which are attracted to the farm installations as to other artificial devices (Dempster ”
