Salmon aquaculture discharges organic wastes into the marine environment. Salmon metabolism and the waste discharges add nutrients and organic matter to and remove …
Chilean Patagonia is one of the largest estuarine systems in the world. It is characterized by a complex geography of approximately 3300 islands, a total surface area of 240,000 km 2 …
Benthic organic enrichment due to sedimentation of waste feed and fecal matter released from salmon and other marine finfish aquaculture facilities has traditionally been measured …

Models that simulate the input and fate of waste material from marine cage finfish farms are considered valuable tools within management strategies for predicting environmental …
The initial phase of a collaborative ambient monitoring program (AMP) for the Strait of Georgia (SoG)(Marine Environmental Research, in press.) has focused on the benthos …
An integrated approach is described for modelling interactions between off-shore fish cages and biogeochemical fluxes of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Two individual …
Local differences in trophic structure and composition of organic matter subsidies can influence the capacity of soft sediment communities to assimilate recycled organic matter …
