September 13-16, 1999
St Andrews, NB, Canada
The aim of the Symposium is to bring together experts in different scientific disciplines related to the environmental effects of fish farming, including bivalve and finfish culture, to compare their results and enhance international cooperation. Topics for which papers are solicited include:
(physical) hydrodynamic alterations in flow due to cages, longlines, etc.
increased sedimentation and impacts in sediments: organic matter, pollutants, benthic communities
seawater hypernutrification, eutrophication processes, and harmful algal blooms interactions
chemicals used in intensive mariculture and their effects on native organisms
environmental variables which affect disease or parasite transmission
monitoring methods applicable by industry and by regulatory authorities
mitigation techniques
predictive modelling of holding and carrying capacities
farmed fish escapes and their ecological implications
coastal zone management in relation to mariculture
In addition, questions concerning how environmental variables affect the productivity of shellfish and finfish farms will be considered.
