Cage size affects dissolved oxygen distribution in salmon aquaculture

Atlantic salmon aquaculture is shifting toward larger cages, but the water quality implications of this shift are unknown. While larger cages could improve profitability through economies of scale, they may increase the risk of low dissolved O2 (DO) conditions due to reduced water exchange. Low DO c...
