The impact and control of biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review (2012, background): “For example, Giles et al. (2006) report that of the total deposition under a farm, only 14% can be attributed to mussel biodeposits, suggesting that the remaining 86% is deposited by other sources including biofouling.”
Impacts of bottom and suspended cultures of mussels Mytilus spp. on the surrounding sedimentary environment and macrobenthic biodiversity (2009, background): “Sedimentation rates have been reported to be 1.3–5.5 times higher compared to culture-free areas (Dahlback and Gunnarsson 1981; Hatcher et al. 1994; Grant et al. 1995; Callier et al. 2006; Giles et al. 2006, pers.”
Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “…from the farmed organisms may be useful for predicting organic loading from mussel aquaculture, numerous authors (e.g., StentonDozey et al. 2001; Giles et al. 2006; McKindsey et al. 2009) have also pointed out that the organisms associated with farmed mussels may also contribute substantially…”
