Vertical migrations of fish schools determine overlap with a mobile tidal stream marine renewable energy device

Large increases in the generation of electricity using marine renewable energy (MRE) are planned, and assessment of the environmental impacts of novel MRE devices, such as kites, are urgently needed. A first step in this assessment is to quantify overlap in space and time between MRE devices and prey species of top predators such as small pelagic fish. Here, we quantify how the distribution of fish schools overlaps with the operational depth...
