The comparative effects of habitat complexity on faunal assemblages of northern temperate artificial and natural reefs (2009, background): “However, their use in that context remains controversial, principally because of the debate surrounding whether such reefs simply attract and concentrate fish, which could promote localized overexploitation, or if there is any net productivity in the fishery (Brickhill et al., 2005).”
Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “…on how bivalve aquaculture-related benthic physical structure attracts or repels wild fishes and invertebrates, there is considerable information on the importance of artificial structures used as reefs to enhance fisheries species (e.g. Jensen et al. 2000, Seaman 2000, Brickhill et al. 2005).”
Impacts of marine and freshwater aquaculture on wildlife: a global meta-analysis (2018, unknown): “Conceptual frameworks have been developed to distinguish between these two (non-mutually-exclusive) processes on artificial reefs and fish aggregation devices (Osenberg et al. 2002; Brickhill et al. 2005; Reubens et al. 2013) and may be applied to aquaculture sites.”
Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “…on 7 the seafloor, there is considerable information on the importance of artificial structures used as reefs to enhance specific areas for fisheries species (Jensen et al. 2000; Seaman 2000; Brickhill et al. 2005) and much can be extrapolated from the relevant artificial reef literature.”
Artificial reefs do increase secondary biomass production: mechanisms evidenced by stable isotopes (2014, background): “Understanding how organic matter is used in an AR system has been demonstrated to be a crucial question to assess the actual mechanisms involved in its functioning (Brickhill et al. 2005, Leitão 2013).”
