“…In Europe, studies exploring the influence and effects of coastal aquaculture have principally focused on salmon, sea bass, and sea bream facilities. However, remarkable changes have also become evident in the areas hosting Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) (Thunnus thynnus) cages, with subsequent effects on the local ecological communities surrounding the cages (Aguado et al, 2004;Moraitis et al, 2013;Die 2016;Mangion et al, 2018;Sanchez-Jerez et al, 2018). These effects principally include the aggregation of abundant and diverse fish communities that are closely associated with the cages (Šegvić Bubić et al, 2011;Bacher et al, 2012;Stagličić et al, 2017).…”

The Greek marine aquaculture has a leading role in the Mediterranean mariculture industry, mainly in the export sector and its prominent contribution to the country’s economy. In the present study, the spatial distribution of Greek finfish farming activity and its potential impact zones on the marine environment were estimated and mapped. The Greek coastline was scanned via Google Earth satellite images for the period of June 2016 to May 2017, with 433 fish farm cage arrays being detected. For each cage array, the zones at different distances corresponding to various type of impacts were mapped by means of GIS technologies. Seventy-five spatial clusters of cage arrays (sc) were revealed, including cage arrays with shown connectivity. As per the findings, Greek marine fish farming activity shows a high level of spatial aggregation but with a relative moderate intensity of impacts due to legal constraints, which play a crucial role in controlling the spatial distribution of activity at a local, regional, and national scale. The results reflect an important source of geodata, necessary for the spatial planning of activity, the monitoring of environmental impacts, and the research itself.
