Spatial distribution of the nutrient plume emanating from an Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) farm in British Columbia: use of an in-situ kelp bioassay to monitor nutrient loading.
To assess the spatial distribution of nutrient wastes around an open-water integrated fish/mollusk/kelp farm in-situ kelp bioassays were employed. Growth rates were measured over a four-month growing season and used as a proxy for relative nutrient concentrations. Seasonality and depth effects on...
