The environmental impact of shrimp aquaculture: causes, effects, and mitigating alternatives.
TL;DR: A global review and viewpoint on the environmental impacts of shrimp aquaculture, considering the causes and effects of the siting and operation of shrimp ponds and abandonment of farm facilities is provided, and mitigating alternatives are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a widespread macroalga often involved in blooms, Ulva spp., to investigate how supply of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), the two main potential growth-limiting nutrients, influence macroalgal growth in temperate and tropical coastal waters ranging from low-to high-nutrient supplies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and Normalization of Heavy Metal Concentrations in Mangrove and Lagoonal Sediments from Mazatlán Harbor (SE Gulf of California)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the concentration of heavy metals, carbonates, organic carbon and granulometry in 60 sites within Mazatlan Harbor and adjacent areas and found that the highest concentrations for most metals occurred in fine-grained sediments from Infiernillo Estuary, the upper lagoon and the industrial zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrients, phytoplankton and harmful algal blooms in shrimp ponds: a review with special reference to the situation in the Gulf of California
TL;DR: This work is a first attempt to document the latest reports on the occurrence of algal blooms in shrimp farm ponds worldwide, with special reference to the northwest of Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
