Impacts of marine and freshwater aquaculture on wildlife: a global meta-analysis (2018, unknown): “…amek et al. 2003; G€uc l€usoy & Savas 2003; Quick et al. 2004; Freitas et al. 2007; Dorr et al. 2012; Sep ulveda et al. 2015), while farm waste from sea cages also attracts significant aggregations of opportunistic wild fish (Dempster et al. 2002, 2009; Tuya et al. 2006; SanchezJerez et al. 2011).”
Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “…that fish farms be managed somewhat like marine protected areas (MPAs) to ensure that they contribute to wild stocks through increased biomass and related parameters (e.g. Dempster et al. 2002, Dempster et al. 2005, Dempster & Sanchez-Jerez 2008, Arechavala-Lopez et al. 2013, Özgül & Angel 2013).”
Response of demersal fish communities to the presence of fish farms (2005, background): “Fresenius Environ Bull 10:278–283 Krom MD, Kress N, Brenner S, Gordon LI (1991) Phosphorus limitation of primary productivity in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.”
'Ghost nutrients' from fish farms are transferred up the food web by phytoplankton grazers (2009, result): “This is again compatible with the findings of Machias et al. (2004, 2005, 2006), who found an increase in biomass also of fish species other than those usually aggregating beneath fish farms in the Mediterranean (Dempster et al. 2002).”
Vertical variability of wild fish assemblages around sea-cage fish farms: implications for management (2005, background): “Dempster et al. (2002) highlighted the need for more extensive research on the interactions of wild fish at fish farms throughout the Mediterranean Sea.”
Fish aggregation device (FAD) research: gaps in current knowledge and future directions for ecological studies (2004, background): “, 1999), rafts (Heyerdahl, 1950), man-made fish aggregation devices (FADs, Higashi, 1994), oil platforms (Franks, 2000), and coastal sea-cage fish farms (Dempster et al., 2002; Boyra et al., 2004).”
Extensive Aggregations of Wild Fish at Coastal Sea-Cage Fish Farms (2004, methodology): “While community compositions of wild fish at coastal sea-cage farms have been described and attraction to farms demonstrated (Carss, 1990; Bjordal & Skar, 1992; Dempster et al., 2002), no study has estimated the total amount of wild fish that farms attract.”
Sedimentation of organic matter from fish farms in oligotrophic Mediterranean assessed through bulk and stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) analyses (2007, background): “…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 et al., 2002, 2005; Machias et al., 2004).”
Seasonal patterns and diets of wild fish assemblages associated with Mediterranean coastal fish farms (2008, methodology): “Of the species associating with fish farms over the 2 years of our study, 23 are of commercial interest in the Mediterranean Sea.”
Coastal salmon farms attract large and persistent aggregations of wild fish: an ecosystem effect (2009, methodology): “These aggregations are temporally stable for weeks to months and are composed of a high proportion of adults (Dempster et al. 2002, 2005).”
