TL;DR: The spatial and seasonal impact of fish farming on the water column of two fish farms in the Eastern Mediterranean was investigated and the concentrations of nutrients did not appear to exceed permitted levels for the appearance of eutrophication.

TL;DR: The reproductive cycle of the species showed a clear annual pattern which was highly correlated with the seasonal variations of temperature, and size–frequency distribution analysis was unimodal with the exception of spring where a second mode of larger sized individuals appeared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial and temporal effects of fish farming on the benthic community structure at two fish farms in the Eastern Mediterranean were investigated between July 2004 and April 2005, and significant differences were found in species number, abundance and species richness among stations and seasons.

TL;DR: Analysis of cultured sea bass and sea bream samples showed that copper concentrations in muscle tissue were lower in samples from farms using untreated nets, with the highest copper concentrations being observed in fish livers from farmsUsing anti-fouling paints, indicating that the use of anti- foul paints may be a potential source of metal accumulation in cultured fish.

TL;DR: Evaluated the contribution of sea cucumber Holothuria tubulosa on organic load reduction from fish farming in the Eastern Mediterranean found no significant differences on OM and OC accumulation rate between holothurians and control.
