Journal ArticleDOI
A multidisciplinary approach to evaluating impacts of shellfish aquaculture on benthic communities
TL;DR: The impact of suspended mussel culture on the benthos of a small Nova Scotia cove was assessed using meehods involving both benthic metabolism and community structure, and there is a shift toward anaerobic metabolism at the mussel lines, the impact of mussels falling to the sediments was more noticeable in benthics community structure than was any impact due to organic sedimentation or hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of suspended mussel culture (Mytilus spp.) on sedimentation, benthic respiration and sediment nutrient dynamics in a coastal bay
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of carbohydrate production by the diatom Nitzschia curvilineata on the erodibility of sediment
TL;DR: Sediment stability increased throughout the stationary phase of growth regardless of lift forces produced by trapped bubbles within the biofilm and progressively smaller increases in sediment carbohydrate concentrations during this period, suggesting that erosion rate may be a more sensitive index of sediment stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction between benthic diatom films and sediment transport
TL;DR: In the field, diatom films were patchy on a scale of centimetres, corresponding to the structure of sand ripples as discussed by the authors, which explained the heterogeneous distribution of films with respect to ripple topography in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical modelling to assess the carrying capacity for multi-species culture within coastal waters
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled physical-biogeochemical model was implemented for Sungo Bay, Shandong Province, China, where bivalve shellfish and kelp are the most important cultivated species.
