Settlement and recruitment of fish in mussel farms by LH Underwood, AG Jeffs

“…In this study, fish settlement and recruitment patterns into 2 aquaculture habitats, mussel-kelp co-culture and mussel farm monoculture, were compared to 2 adjacent natural habitats, soft-sediment seafloor and rocky reef, within a settlement season. Standard monitoring units for the recruitment of fish (SMURFs) were used, as they are a common and reliable method for measuring temporal and spatial variability in fish settlement and recruitment among habitat types. …”
