Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Increased nutrient levels, complex substrate and provision of fish-feed in the proximity of the cages trigger trophic enrichment and can attract potential bottlenose dolphin prey (Karakassis et al., 2000; Würsig & Gailey, 2002; Kemper et al., 2003; Dempster et al., 2004).”
Aquaculture: a newly emergent food production sector—and perspectives of its impacts on biodiversity and conservation (2012, background): “These observations lead the authors (Karakassis et al. 2000) to conclude that impacts of fish farming on benthos in the Mediterranean vary considerably depending on site characteristics.”
Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “Numerous studies (e.g. Karakassis et al 2000, Buschmann et al 2006, Kutti et al 2008, Hargrave 2010) have evaluated the impact of fish and shellfish farming on wild populations but most of these have focused on sessile organisms or those with low mobility, particularly infauna.”
Settling velocity of faecal pellets of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) and sensitivity analysis using measured data in a deposition model (2006, neutral): “…deposition of organic material, from mariculture operations, on the surrounding seabed can have detrimental effects on the health of benthic organisms and habitats (Gowen and Badbury, 1987; Weston, 1990; Holmer and Kristensen, 1992; Findlay et al., 1995; Wu, 1995; Karakassis et al., 2000).”
Polychaetes as indicators of marine fish farm organic enrichment (2004, background): “The results of the present paper were in accordance with the results presented by Pearson and Rosenberg (1978) on variations of benthic community polluted by organic matter and they, in particular, agree with other studies reporting a spatial limited impact of marine fish farms (Brown et al. 1987; W”
Assessing the suitability of a range of benthic indices in the evaluation of environmental impact of fin and shellfish aquaculture located in sites across Europe (2009, positive): “…wide range in benthic responses to aquaculture enrichment has therefore led to the conclusion that, aside from extreme cases, it is not trivial to anticipate how the benthic community will be affected (Karakassis et al., 2000; Pereira et al., 2004; Buschmann et al., 2006; Klaoudatos et al., 2006).”
Open-water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: environmental biomitigation and economic diversification of fed aquaculture by extractive aquaculture (2012, background): “l Some studies reported measures where in some areas the benthic biodiversity near aquaculture sites increased relative to background levels (Karakassis et al. 2000; Brooks 2001; Dimech et al. 2002; Kempf et al. 2002; Brooks & Mahnken 2003; Macleod et al. 2006; Apostolaki et al. 2007; Kutti et al. 2”
Quantifying aquaculture-derived organic matter in the sediment in and around a coastal fish farm using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (2006, background): “Lumb (1989) suggested 10 cm/s as a lowest mean velocity for sustainable aquaculture.”
Stable isotope and fatty acid evidence for uptake of organic waste by green-lipped mussels Perna viridis in a polyculture fish farm system (2006, background): “INTRODUCTION Studies have demonstrated that fish farming activities in coastal waters can result in marine pollution, owing to the release of organic and inorganic waste from uneaten feed, faeces and dissolved excretory products (Wu et al. 1994, Karakassis et al. 2000).”
Response of demersal fish communities to the presence of fish farms (2005, background): “…& Kristensen 1992, Karakassis et al. 1998, Holmer et al. 2002), on benthic communities (Brown et al. 1987, Weston 1990, Mazzola et al. 1999, 2000, Karakassis et al. 2000, La Rosa et al. 2001, Mirto et al. 2002), on sea grass (Delgado et al. 1999, Pergent et al. 1999, Ruiz et al. 2001, Holmer et…”
