The paper gives an overview of some of the large, shallow, semi-enclosed coastal systems
(SECS) in Europe, These SECS are important both from the ecological and the economic …

Carrying capacity has become a fundamental concept within the context of environmental
management. Carrying capacity for aquaculture has been studied since the 1960s and has …

We present a modelling framework that combines machine learning techniques and
Geographic Information Systems to support the management of an important aquaculture …

Habitat suitability models have been extensively used by conservation planners to estimate

Sungo Bay (China) has a mean depth of 10 m, a total area of 140 km 2 and is occupied by
several types of aquaculture, whilst opening to the ocean. The production of scallops …

We successfully tested a Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model of the oyster Crassostrea
gigas using published environmental data and growth data collected in Thau lagoon …

Growth of Mytilus edulis was simulated using individual based models following both Scope
For Growth (SFG) and Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) approaches. These models were …

The fluxes of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus through an off-shore long-line Mytilus
galloprovincialis farm during a typical rearing cycle were estimated by combining a simple …

A fully-coupled biological–physical–chemical model of a coastal ecosystem was constructed
to examine the impact of suspended mussel culture on phytoplankton biomass in Tracadie …

A simple lower trophic level, bio-physical marine ecosystem model is developed for the
purpose of assessing the environmental effects of bivalve aquaculture in coastal …
