Researchers collected water samples at one upstream and three downstream locations from the submerged fish cages to investigate if there was significant or cumulative impacts resulting from locating fish farms offshore. Sediment samples were also collected to evaluate the effects of the aquaculture facility on the seafloor.

Using this tracking information, researchers identified areas of the ocean that were important for multiple species, shark “hot spots”, that were located in ocean frontal zones, boundaries in the sea between different water masses that are highly productive and food-rich.
