Expert analysts made all burrow identification and burrow size measurements. Burrow density was given by (1) real-time in situ counts; (2) post-sampling laboratory replicate counts; and (3) multiple laboratory counts in strips analyzed by DISTANCE sampling in order to account for partial burrows and edge effects leading to over- or underestimation of densities. Trawls were used to estimate densities, mean carapace length and weight per ground. The laboratory method was the most efficient approach. In situ counts resulted in underestimation at high densities and overestimation at low densities. Further work with DISTANCE should include simulations with hypothetical data to optimise band widths related to the expected burrow size. All burrow density estimates produced similar significant negative relationships with burrow size and positive relationships with trawl density. Based on the tow length effects analysis, the use of tow lengths of 500 and 1000 m per station for high and mid-/low-density sites, respectively, is recommended. With expert analysts, laboratory counts, trawl support data, accurate delimitation of the grounds and adequate sampling spread to allow for local stock variability differences, the UWTV technique can be used for fishery-independent stock assessments, and its precision refined by taking into account edge effects.}, keywords = {Aegean, burrowing behavior, clyde, Crustacea, Decapoda, Nephrops, Norway lobster, stock assessment, underwater video}, author = {Smith, C.

Three regions of the Aegean Sea with aquaculture zones were sampled in May and September (reproductive and recruitment periods, respectively for most species in the Aegean Sea). In each region, 2 sub-areas were sampled: 1 located nearby the fish farming zones (within 2 to 3 n mile) and a similar site ({\textquoteright}reference site{\textquoteright}) far away from these zones (> 20 n mile). Three replicate hauls were made in each sub-area for each of the 3 investigated regions. Significant differences were observed in community structure between farming and reference sites, which were mainly due to quantitative rather than qualitative aspects, The overall abundance and/or biomass of wild demersal fish was significantly higher near the fish farms in every region studied during May without any significant change in diversity or biodiversity. During the recruitment period in September, total abundance and biomass were fairly similar. These findings support the hypothesis that the presence of fish farms affects the wild fish populations in the oligotrophic eastern Mediterranean at a spatial scale larger than the immediate vicinity of fish cages. It seems that during the recruitment period all sites were stocked with fish close to the carrying capacity of the respective areas, and by late spring the areas close to fish farming zones had suffered little losses during winter, whereas populations at the reference sites had decreased substantially.}, keywords = {aquaculture, bathymetric distribution, CAGE FARM, CHEMICAL FLUXES, coastal sediments, Environmental impacts, Fish communities, fisheries, mass balances, Mediterranean, mediterranean-sea, Pisces, seagrass posidonia-oceanica, Taxonomic distinctness, wild fish}, author = {Machias, A. and Karakassis, I. and Giannoulaki, M. and Papadopoulou, K.
