Whale-fall ecosystems: recent insights into ecology, paleoecology, and evolution
Whale falls produce remarkable organic-and sulfide-rich habitat islands at the seafloor. The
past decade has seen a dramatic increase in studies of modern and fossil whale remains …

Impact of deep-water fish farms on benthic macrofauna communities under different hydrodynamic conditions
T Valdemarsen, PK Hansen, A Ervik… - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015 - Elsevier
In this study the environmental impacts of two fish farms located over deep water (180–190
m) were compared. MC-Farm was located at a site with slightly higher water currents (mean …
