“…In addition, interference in settlement patterns has also been reported (Agostinho et al, 2007;Mallasen et al, 2012) due to the input of organic matter from cages and the introduction of non-native species (Zanatta et al, 2010), mainly through fish escaping from cultivation (Agostinho et al, 2007). As a consequence, there may be changes in the population dynamics of wild fish with the aggregation of fish in these areas (Ramos et al, 2013;Brandão et al, 2013;Ortega et al, 2015), as well as interference with the trophic ecology (Brandão et al, 2012;Ramos et al, 2013, Edwards, 2015 and the nutritional condition of fish (increased condition factor values) (Ramos et al, 2013;Ortega et al, 2015), when fish, mainly omnivores, feed on available food pellets.…”
