Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “D’Amours et al. (2008) suggest that that mussel culture sites attract benthic organisms, especially predators, from the surrounding areas.”
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): “These mussel farms have also been shown to enhance abundance and aggregation of starfish on the bottom, presumably due to drop-off of both culture species and fouling organisms (Inglis and Gust, 2003 D'Amours et al., 2008).”
Searching for Solutions in Aquaculture: Charting a Sustainable Course (2012, unknown): “As of 2008, 10.8 million people relied on aquaculture as a source of income and livelihood, with 94% of them in Asia, and the Aquaculture can also provide ecosystem services, such as wastewater treatment (15), bioremediation (16), and habitat structure (17, 18).”
Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “The release of fouling organisms and some farmed organisms into the environment typically attracts a variety of scavenging organisms, such as crabs and other crustaceans, fish, and birds (D'Amours et al. 2008) in a similar way as described in 2.1 and 2.2 for fall-off.”
