Each farm was compared to four control locations (total = 12 control locations) within the same region. At all three pearl farms there was no indication of eutrophication (nutrient enrichment). We concluded that the variability in benthic physico-chemistry beneath pearl farms was within the bounds of natural variability at reference locations. There were also no consistent differences in the benthic macrofauna assemblages below the pearl oyster farms when compared to control locations. There was considerable natural variability of the benthic macrofauna among all locations, but especially among the reference locations. The reference locations were as different from one another as they were from the farm locations, indicating that the diversity of benthic macrofauna taxa, and their relative abundances within sediments underlying the farms fell within the range of natural variability found at these spatial scales. The importance of robust assessment of potential environmental impact of aquaculture facilities is stressed.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:44 AEDT ]]> An impact-control study to assess the potential accumulation of metals and metalloids from sewage effluent and biosolids to Sydney rock oysters, Saccostrea glomerata https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38470 Mon 09 May 2022 16:19:51 AEST ]]>
