Note publique d'information : Environmental risks associated with large-scale marine finfish cage aquaculture have
led to claims that the long-term sustainability of the industry is in doubt. Methods
and models currently used to measure near and far-field environmental effects of finfish
mariculture and to assess their implications for management are presented in 20 chapters
arranged in four sections (Eutrophication, Sedimentation and Benthic Impacts, Changes
in Trophic Structure and Function, and Managing Environmental Risks). Case studies
show how models may be used to predict environmental changes and provide management
tools to minimize potentially adverse environmental risks. The volume is of interest
to those working towards sustainable development of mariculture, including environmental
managers and decision-makers with regulatory responsibilities
