Quantifying the Effect of Aquaculture on Nutrient Flux at the Sediment-Water Interface in Maine

Project Description Sediment processing of aquaculture biodeposits is a key factor in determining the carrying capacity of aquaculture operations. Sediment biogeochemical processes lead to the mineralization of biodeposits high in carbon and nitrogen content, and increase the flux of inorganic nutrients to the water column. The effect of aquaculture operations on water quality regarding sediment … Continue reading Quantifying the Effect of Aquaculture on Nutrient Flux at the Sediment-Water Interface in Maine
