Description:
In 1985 and 1986, a SW Finnish archipelago area was monitored for fish (using gillnets and seine), in order to investigate potential effects of salmonid fish farming on natural fish communities (population- and community level, growth and food choice). The results indicate some structural change eg. in total abundance and biomass values (increasing), on species composition (towards moore cyprinid-dominated communities), on growth rate (increasing) and food choice (increased proportions of fish consumed) of perch, and a general shift towards communities dominated by juveniles and small fish in areas influenced by fish farms.
