“…It is generally known that a reduction in flow velocity exists downstream from a net cage in current (Aarsnes et al, 1990;Kristiansen and Faltinsen, 2012;Zhao et al, 2013b;Bi et al, 2014a). Similarly, the wave height (or wave energy) will be reduced and the wave geometry will be changed by a net cage due to the damping effect of the fishing net (Lader et al, 2007a;Dong et al, 2008).…”
