Seasonal Variability in the Influence of Coastal Aquaculture Operation on Benthic–Pelagic Coupling Processes in Shallow Aquatic Ecosystems

Coastal shellfish aquaculture can influence benthic–pelagic-coupled systems because cultured species consume phytoplankton in the water column and return the captured organic matter and nutrients to the environment as biodeposits, which fall to the seafloor, affecting local sediment characteristics...
