Abstract
Bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix Linnaeus 1766 is commonly observed close to Mediterranean opensea fish farms It usually preys on wild fish that are attracted to farms but also on farmed fish by biting holes in sea cages net walls In the current telemetry study we found that the tagged bluefish stayed close to fish farms during spring and early summer However most of the tagged fish disappeared from the farms during autumn when the sea water temperature dropped When aggregating at farms bluefish were present at deeper waters during day time but moved closer to the surface during night time In addition periods when there was operational activity at the farms might influence on daily swimming depth of bluefish Therefore bluefish individuals seem to find an optimal foraging habitat around Mediterranean fish farmsWe would like to thank the staff of Culmar and Basademar fish farms as well as the voluntary anglers from the recreational fishing association “Pesca Responsable” for their invaluable help and assistance in the field The study was financed by the project “FatFish” Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation CTM200914362C0201 This research specially handling and tagging was conducted according to the Spanish regulations for the treatment and welfare of animals Real Decreto 1201/2005 published in BOE num 252 21st October 2005
