| Abstract |
Artificial hard substrates in the marine environment have an influence on the local fish community. The new environment may induce some costs or benefits for the fish populations. Since the local evolution of fish stocks and the value of wind farms as management tools completely depend on the extent of the artificial reef effects at the wind farms, it is essential to identify the processes at work. Consequently, community structure, reef ecology and behavioural ecology were investigated for a number of fish species present at the offshore wind farms. The results obtained were integrated and a viewpoint on attraction/production was formulated. |
