A FAD or 'fish attracting/aggregating device' is a man made structure deployed at sea. They can provide a focal point for the aggregation of certain pelagic fish species in the warmer months. In particular, Dolphinfish or Mahi Mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) are particularly well known as being attracted to FADs. FADs are typically deployed for the summer months when the water is warmer and removed over winter for maintenance. They may be redeployed in different locations in following years. In the near vicinity of the Yamaha Outboards FAD the water depth ranges from about 239 to 213 metres deep (about 116 to 131 fathoms / 698 to 784 feet). The nearest Australian towns, villages or cities to the Yamaha Outboards FAD are the city of Rockingham (show me), the city of Kwinana (show me) and the town of Golden Bay-Singleton (show me).
