Integrated marine cultivation of Gracilaria chilensis (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) and salmon cages for reduced environmental impact and increased economic output
TL;DR: Integrated marine cultivation of Gracilaria chilensis (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) and salmon cages for reduced environmental impact and increased economic output is discussed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
IMTA with Gracilaria vermiculophylla: Productivity and nutrient removal performance of the seaweed in a land-based pilot scale system
TL;DR: Results indicate that the culture conditions require adaptations throughout the year in order to attain successful productivities of G. vermiculophylla, and that the appropriate upscaling of this pilot IMTA system is ready for implementation at fish aquaculture operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the impacts of salmonid farming on marine coastal ecosystems in the southeast Pacific
Alejandro H. Buschmann,Verónica A. Riquelme,María C. Hernández-González,Daniel Varela,Jaime E. Jiménez,Luis A. Henríquez,Pedro A. Vergara,Ricardo Guiñez,Luis Filún +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that significant loss of benthic biodiversity and localized changes in the physico-chemical properties of sediments have occurred in areas with salmonid farms, and that the presence of these farms significantly increases in pulses the density of dinoflagellates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological engineering in aquaculture : use of seaweeds for removing nutrients from intensive mariculture
TL;DR: It is concluded that such techniques, based on ecological engineering, seems promising for mitigating environmental impacts from intensive mariculture; however, continued research on this type of solution is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salmon aquaculture and coastal ecosystem health in Chile: Analysis of regulations, environmental impacts and bioremediation systems
Alejandro H. Buschmann,Felipe C. Cabello,Kyle A. Young,Juan Carvajal,Daniel Varela,Luis A. Henríquez +5 more
TL;DR: The government and industry are called on to support the creation of a well-financed and politically independent agency responsible for developing and enforcing science-based environmental regulations in Chile and proposed new regulations and monitoring programmes that encourage and accommodate emerging bioremediation technologies.
