Sedimentation of organic matter from fish farms in oligotrophic Mediterranean assessed through bulk and stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) analyses (2007, background): “…is not likely that the bulk of intact pellets reaches the sediment floor, as most farms, and also those observed here, are surrounded by large assemblages of wild fish, which are attracted to the farm installations as to other artificial devices (Dempster et al., 2002, 2005; Machias et al., 2004).”
Coastal salmon farms attract large and persistent aggregations of wild fish: an ecosystem effect (2009, background): “These aggregations are temporally stable for weeks to months and are composed of a high proportion of adults (Dempster et al. 2002, 2005).”
Changes in demersal wild fish aggregations beneath a sea-cage fish farm after the cessation of farming (2006, background): “…fish farms 63 dramatically increase the presence, abundance and biomass of wild demersal and 64 pelagic fish in their immediate vicinity compared to control nearby areas (Carss, 1990; 65 Dempster et al., 2002; Boyra et al., 2004; Dempster et al., 2004; Dempster et al., 2005; 66 Tuya et al., 2005).”
Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “example, Dempster et al. (2005) found that the abundance and biomass of wild fish were consistently greatest in the depth strata adjacent to cages at Mediterranean farm sites but were variably greatest near the bottom or the surface at Canary Islands farms.”
Seasonal patterns and diets of wild fish assemblages associated with Mediterranean coastal fish farms (2008, background): “Of the species associating with fish farms over the 2 years of our study, 23 are of commercial interest in the Mediterranean Sea.”
