Project Description Polychaete worms and other infaunal species residing in marine sediments create bioturbation (mixing and overturn of sediments) through their feeding, tube-building, burrowing, and ventilating activities. These activities influence nutrient fluxes between the sediments and overlying water, and the composition of sedimentary communities. Changes in organic deposition can significantly alter community structure and the … Continue reading Impact of Shellfish Aquaculture on Benthic-Pelagic Coupling
