Habitat value of bivalve shellfish and seaweed aquaculture for fish and invertebrates: Pathways, synthesis and next steps (2021, background): “For example, in some cases, aquaculture structures have been found to have no effect on the diversity and abundance of mobile species (eg refs 42,43) and, in other cases, have been found to displace and alter movement patterns of predator species (eg 44).”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Diverse habitats promote species diversity by acting as refugia from competition and predation [70,71], providing multiple sources of prey [72] and settlement substrates [73], supporting species with specialized requirements, and ameliorating environmental stressors [74].”
The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “Seagrass meadows, saltmarshes, kelp forests and other vegetated habitats and their resident organisms are known to be highly productive compared to structurally simpler habitats such as sandy habitats (Ferrell and Bell, 1991; Duffy, 2006; Hosack et al., 2006).”
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): “…the behavioral response of selected species (salmon, crab) has been studied across habitat types including bivalve shellfish aquaculture areas by these larger mobile organisms as discussed in Section 5.3 above (Pinnix et al., 2005; Holsman et al., 2006; Hosack et al., 2006; Semmens, 2008).”
The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “A number of studies have shown that densities of benthic invertebrates and epifauna are highest in seagrass meadows than unstructured sand- or mudflats (Hosack et al. 2006).”
