- Integrated mariculture: asking the right questions (2003, background): “This nutrification can result in various negative local environmental effects such as eutrophication, oxygen depletion, biodiversity modifications and pollution of the surrounding waters (Gowen and Bradbury, 1987; Braaten et al., 1988; Rönnberg et al., 1992; Beveridge et al., 1994; Richardson and Jø”
- 'Ghost nutrients' from fish farms are transferred up the food web by phytoplankton grazers (2009, background): “This could explain the increase in wild fish abundance and biomass (Machias et al. 2004, 2005, 2006) as well as the lack of increase in phytoplankton biomass (Pitta et al. 1999, 2005b, Soto & Norambuena 2004) in areas with fish farming.”
- Growth of Mytilus galloprovincialis (mollusca, bivalvia) close to fish farms: a case of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture within the Tyrrhenian Sea (2009, result): “…changes in the chemical environment because controls and impacts in the study area differed significantly in terms of available organic matter for secondary consumers, similar to changes observed in other Mediterranean areas (Pitta et al., 1999, 2005; see the review on this topic of Sarà, 2007b).”
- Distribution of nutrients for seaweed cultivation around salmon cages at farm sites in north-west Scotland (2008, background): “Current knowledge suggests that peaks in the concentration of ammonium adjacent to salmon cages are related to the timing of feeding the salmon (e.g. Ahn et al., 1998; Pitta et al., 1998; Karakassis et al., 2001, 2005), but there is little information available on the distribution of the ammoniumaro”
- Response of demersal fish communities to the presence of fish farms (2005, background): “In several parts of the world (Beveridge et al. 1996), and particularly in the Mediterranean (Pitta et al. 1999, Belias et al. 2003), it has been shown that the effects of fish farming on nutrients and chlorophyll concentration in the water column are hardly measurable and only over a short…”
