Development of monitoring guidelines and modeling tools for environmental effects from Mediterranean aquaculture

Cel

OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS In northern Europe, Canada, Tasmania and recently in Chile, considerable efforts have been made to assess interactions between aquaculture and the environment. Most models, guidelines, monitoring procedures, and environmental quality standards are, however, directed toward salmon farming. Although scientific knowledge on the impacts of salmonid farming has progressed substantially, very little is known of fish farming impacts in the Mediterranean.

In the last decade aquaculture of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead sea bream (Sparus auratus) has experienced a period of exponential growth in the Mediterranean region. This process needs to be controlled in order to ensure a sustainable development of the aquaculture industry and to consider other aspects of an integrated management of the coastal zone, including tourism, fishery, and environmental protection.
