Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “Artificial lights are used to light work areas at night and to stimulate or supress sexual maturation of farmed fishes to stimulate somatic growth, to maintain fish flesh quality, or to affect swimming behaviour, fish density and welfare (Juell & Fosseidengen 2004, Oppedal et al. 2011).”
Salmon Welfare Index Model (SWIM 1.0): a semantic model for overall welfare assessment of caged Atlantic salmon: review of the selected welfare indicators and model presentation (2013, background): “Using submersible lights at depths (e.g. 15 m) that allow the salmon to spread out both above and below the lights, therefore, improves the welfare of caged salmon (Juell et al. 2003; Juell & Fosseidengen 2004; Oppedal et al. 2007, 2011a).”
