A model to estimate aquaculture carrying capacity in three areas of the Philippines

A model was developed to estimate the production carrying capacity of water bodies based on nutrient inputs from aquaculture and other sources, flushing rates, and the risk of algal blooms for three different areas of the Philippines – Bolinao (marine site), Dagupan (brackishwater site) and Taal Lak...
