Aquaculture & Fisheries

Aquaculture Law and Policy

Adaptions of aquatic species symposiums majorly organized to discuss on environmental impacts of aquaculture have been associated mainly with high-input and high-output intensive systems (e.g. culture of salmonids in raceways and cages) the effects of which included discharge of suspended solids, and nutrient and organic enrichment of recipient waters resulting in build-up of anoxic sediments, changes in benthic communities (alteration of seabed fauna and flora communities) and the eutrophication of lakes.
