Aquaculture and waterbody assimilative capacity

The assimilative capacity of a sea-loch, voe or coastal water is its ability to absorb the waste products associated with mariculture without harming the local marine ecosystem or the farmed fish. This work, funded by SARF, aims to develop tools to allow potential harm to be predicted, and avoided.
