Abstract
⺠Benthic biofilters were deployed under an offshore fish farm and in control locations. ⺠We checked the farm influence on fouling, wild fish and sediment near the biofilters. ⺠Fouling under the cages used fish farm-derived wastes, but at low efficiency. ⺠Wild fish were more abundant in the biofilters located below the cages. ⺠Despite these clear benefits, sediment quality around the biofilters did not improve.
