Behaviour of Temperate Reef Fish Species Around Oyster Aquaculture Farms and Natural Rock Reefs

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultivation of eastern oysters using aquaculture gear increases habitat for temperate reef fish. Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus), scup (Stenotomus chrysops) and tautog (Tautoga onitis) inhabit a variety of complex natural and manmade habitats, including oyster aquaculture cage farms.

Daylight illuminant retrieval using redundant image elements

, 2010
We present a method for retrieving illuminant spectra from a set of images taken with a fixed location camera, such as a surveillance or panoramic one. In these images, there will be significant changes in lighting conditions and scene content, but there will also be static elements in the background.
