Broadscale effects of marine salmonid aquaculture on macrobenthos and the sediment environment in Tasmania between 1998 and 2003

A comparison was made of sediments and associated macrobenthos at sites sampled within 42 fish farm leases distributed across Tasmania. Several key biotic and abiotic metrics recommended in previous studies for assessing environmental impacts of fish farm waste were investigated.

本研究针对塔斯马尼亚州境内42处鱼类养殖租赁场地的采样点位，对其沉积物及伴生大型底栖生物（macrobenthos）进行了对比分析。此外，本研究还对既往研究中推荐用于评估鱼类养殖废弃物环境影响的多项关键生物与非生物指标展开了调查。
