• Description:
  Seaweed aquaculture can benefit coastal ecosystems through the provisioning of new habitat. However, not all aquaculture–ecosystem interactions are created equal: Some interactions can result in substantial crop loss and potentially reduce the fitness of wild organisms, as is the case with Pacific Herring Clupea pallasii spawning on kelp farms in Alaska. This study drew upon herring physiology and ecology to identify potential nonlethal methods that aquatic farmers could implement to deter herring from aquaculture infrastructure while also minimizing impacts to marine mammals.
