Aquaculture impacts
Impacts of aquaculture can be put into 3 categories Physical Chemical Biological

Aquaculture impacts
Physical– Physical structures, cages, pens, jetties– Visual– Net friction to exchange– Use of wetlands and mangroves for pond construction– Saline infiltration

Nutrient balance
![Page 7: CONSULTANCY AND RESEARCH IN AQUACULTURE AND ...aquaculture.management/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ENV-01...CONSULTANCY AND RESEARCH IN AQUACULTURE AND THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT A Company](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070203/60f00684dbc81579e81f4b59/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Inputs, uptake and outputs
Only 40% of inputs are retained by the fish. The remainder go into the environment

Biological
Aquaculture produces wastes which may negatively affect the environment.
In intensive aquaculture, a considerable amount of organic wastes are produced in the form of
particulate (mainly the uneaten food, faeces) soluble substances (excreta) which increase biochemical
oxygen demand, nitrates and phosphates

Scale Issues
One of the critical issues is identifying the scale on which they appear. Some impacts appear only in the immediate vicinity of the operation, while others are more widely distributed, and although they may appear smaller, the large area that they affect makes them important.
There are three major time and space scales for the impacts of finfish farms:– Localised This is a very small scale in both space and time,
illustrated by depletion of oxygen in and near the pens at slack tide.
– Near field, such as the deposition of carbon and other wastes on the seabed in the vicinity of a fish farm.
– Far field, usually due to the release of soluble nutrients and disease organisms into the water column.

Primary versus Secondary Effects
It is sometimes difficult to separate the primary and secondary environmental impacts of aquaculture.
The rate at which nutrients are released into the water column can be estimated or measured.
This is a primary effect, but nutrient levels in themselves are not very important.
The secondary effects of the nutrient release are more important with nitrification leading to enhanced primary productivity, and in particular, harmful algal blooms.

Input equals output x2
The well being of the fish in the farm is totally dependent on – the operator (the management) – the water (the environment)
The inputs that are made will be converted– fish production– pollution under the cages
For one tonne of fish produced, there is one tonne of waste materials

Self pollution
Who suffers most from the pollution under the cages or pens?
