Artificial reefs and mariculture

, 2001
Artificial reefs are natural materials and man-made structures deployed on the seabed to mimic some characteristics of the natural reefs and to improve the aquatic environment. They are included in the more general definition of "artificial habitats", referred to each type of structure deliberately placed in the sea to enhance stocks and fisheries ...

Ecology of Artificial Reefs in the Subtropics

2014
The application of artificial reefs (ARs) has a long history, and there is a wealth of information related to the design and performance of ARs in coastal and ocean waters worldwide. However, relatively fewer studies in the literature are focused on the response of benthic communities within the reef areas than those on fish attraction and fish ...

Artificial Reefs in the Adriatic Sea

2000
Italian initiatives and experiments with artificial reefs, in particular in the Adriatic Sea, have been prompted by the requirement to effectively manage and enhance the coastal seas. The coastal zone is subject to inter- and intra-sector conflicts but has great potential for fishery and mariculture development.

Investing in Artificial Reefs

2000
Economic appraisal of an artificial reef proposal is an essential step in determining the role such a structure may play in, say, fishery enhancement. Reef projects may be appraised from the perspective of either a private commercial firm or society as a whole, though the emphasis of the present chapter will primarily be on the latter.

Portuguese Artificial Reefs

2000
The use of artificial reefs for marine habitat enhancement is a recent development in Portuguese coastal waters. To date, four reefs have been constructed, off the south coast of the Algarve. The first two were established in 1990 as a pilot project supported by the Integrated Plan for Regional Development (PIDR).

Artificial Reefs: The Importance of Comparisons with Natural Reefs

Fisheries, 1997
Abstract Methods used to evaluate the performance of an artificial reef will vary according to the purpose for which the reef was built. To determine how well artificial reefs mitigate losses due to human activities on natural reefs, the performance of artificial reefs should be evaluated using contemporaneous comparisons with relatively undisturbed ...
