Habitat types and megabenthos composition from three sponge-dominated high-Arctic seamounts
Seamounts are isolated underwater mountains stretching> 1000 m above the seafloor. They
are identified as biodiversity hotspots of marine life, and host benthic assemblages that may …

A substrate-independent benthic sampler (SIBS) for hard and mixed-bottom marine habitats: a proof-of-concept study
Sea cage fish farms are increasingly situated over hard and mixed substrate habitats for
production and waste-dispersion reasons; yet in many cases, these installations are not …

Attraction and avoidance of wild demersal fish and crustaceans to open-net aquaculture pens resolved by baited and towed underwater camera surveys
Wild gadoids are known to have close associations with open-net fish farms, leading to
concerns about changes in natural fish distribution and feeding patterns. However, the …
