Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “Powers et al. (2007) suggested that the increased abundance of structural species (macroalgae and some erect epifauna) growing on quahog (Mercenaria mercenaria) grow-out bags in North Carolina increased the abundance and diversity of associated macrofauna (fish and macroinvertebrates) from…”

The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “has been shown to affect sediment but not water column characteristics (Mojica and Nelson, 1993) Macro-algae attached to clam culture bags in North Carolina enhanced use by mobile invertebrates and juvenile fishes over that in nearby shallow subtidal sand bottom and resulted in comparable abundances”
Impacts of marine and freshwater aquaculture on wildlife: a global meta-analysis (2018, unknown): “Shellfish and algae farming do not require inputs of feed, but high densities of filter feeding shellfish in farms do accumulate biomass, attracting wild fish and invertebrate species (Dealteris et al. 2004; Powers et al. 2007; McKindsey et al. 2011; Segvic-Bubic et al. 2011), while algae farming at”
