Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors and has great potential for
food security and livelihoods. However, it generates concerning consequences for the …

Sea-based fish farms are associated with strong, benthic enrichment gradients and routine
monitoring is usually required by regulation. This has traditionally been based on benthic …

Coastal aquaculture has experienced substantial growth in the last few decades and
associated impacts on natural environments are of increasing importance. Understanding …

Abstract Changes in bacterial assemblages along an environmental gradient determined by
the distance to aquaculture installations were analysed, using denaturing gradient gel …

The analysis of benthic bacterial community structure has emerged as a powerful alternative
to traditional microscopy-based taxonomic approaches to monitor aquaculture disturbance …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of substitution of dietary fishmeal (FM) by
compound plant protein supplemented with essential amino acids on growth performance …

Aquaculture is a global industry that enriches the surrounding aquatic environment in
nutrients, namely carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Because these inputs are spatially and …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection is a revolutionary approach that aims to determine the
presence of organisms, and other population parameters, by extracting the genetic material …

Sea cage fish farms are increasingly situated over hard and mixed substrate habitats for
production and waste-dispersion reasons; yet in many cases, these installations are not …

Metabarcoding analyses of bacterial and eukaryotic communities have been proposed as
efficient tools for environmental impact assessment. It has been unclear, however, to which …
