This book was released on 2001 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines have been prepared for consultation by environmental assessors and finfish aquaculture project proponents to help ensure that relevant information & knowledge is incorporated early in the planning & design of a project and in the conduct of an environmental assessment. The introduction describes Environment Canada's mandate related to aquaculture projects. The subsequent guidelines relay the department's recommendations on information to be presented, potential environmental effects to be addressed, and mitigation measures which should be considered in the environmental assessment of each phase of a finfish aquaculture project. Sections 2 to 5 are specific to each of the individual project phases (site selection, facility design, site preparation & construction, operation & maintenance, decommissioning). Section 6 focusses on how the environment & changes in the environment can impact aquaculture facilities. The final section discusses impact prediction, verification, and follow-up plans.

Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Aquaculture written by Kenneth D. Black and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued expansion of aquaculture – in a wide range of environments and of a growing number of species has lead to increasing demands on aquatic resources. These demands vary with the culture species, the culture method and the environmental and ecological setting. While there are many examples of efforts to mitigate detrimental environmental effects, the environment remains the ultimate constraint on the future sustainable development of this maturing industry. The relationships between the activities of aquaculture and the environment are therefore of economic importance as well as of scientific interest and, for these reasons, a large international research community has developed over the past decade. In this volume, the resultant research is synthesised and critically reviewed, providing a source of reference to the most important recent developments at research and professional level. The authors are internationally recognised authorities who have made significant contributions to their respective research areas. The first part of the volume is organised in terms of the major culture types. This is followed by chapters of general relevance to aquaculture. The volume is designed to complement Biology of Farmed Fish (eds K D Black/A D Pickering), also published in this series. It is directed at fish biologists, shellfish biologists and environmental scientists working in the academic, governmental and industrial sectors.

The topics covered are wide and varied, ranging from general issues such as the impact of mariculture on coastal ecosystems to genetic improvement of cultured marine species, as well as the specifics of breeding selected marine species of current importance, such as groupers and sea bass. Significant coverage is also given to the problems of larval rearing in inland aquaculture as well as the demands of water- and land-based resources in a tropical environment.

Download or read book Environmental Effects of Aquaculture and Oil Spills written by Carlos Sanz-Lázaro and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a Thesis whose aim is to study the effect of organic matter enrichment produced by marine finfish farming and oil spills on the marine environment. This work is focused on elucidating the ecological consequences of the impact generated by this type of pollution, and on designing toxictity tests to evaluate pollution for southern European coasts. The present thesis is introduced with a chapter that discusses issues related with the assessment of benthic impact due to marine finfish farming in the Mediterranean, emphasising the usefulness of toxicity tests as a tool for assessing pollution produced by fish farming, as well as by other types of organic enrichment. The results and conclusions derived from this thesis should contribute to our knowledge in these fields of research.

Download or read book Marine Aquaculture written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal farming and ocean ranching of marine fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and seaweed are a major and growing industry worldwide. In the United States, freshwater aquaculture is rapidly becoming a significant commercial activity; however, marine aquaculture has lagged behind. This book examines the obstacles to developing marine aquaculture in the United States and offers specific recommendations for technology and policy strategies to encourage this industry. The volume provides a wealth of information on the status of marine aquacultureâ€"including comparisons between U.S. and foreign approaches to policy and technology and of the diverse species under culture. Marine Aquaculture also describes problems of coordination of regulatory policy among various federal, state, and local government agencies and escalating competition for the use of coastal waters. It addresses environmental concerns and suggests engineering and research strategies for alleviating negative impacts from marine aquaculture operations.
