Overall Objective:

To understand how organic enrichment, at levels anticipated for open ocean aquaculture (OOA) in dispersive environments, impacts on species that can be used as indicators of environmental health.


Specific Objectives:

1. Identify key sessile and/or mobile epifaunal or infaunal species that are likely to occur in dispersive environments that may be affected by low level organic enrichment derived from open ocean finfish aquaculture.
2. Define the effects of low levels of organic enrichment on the health of key species identified in Specific Objective 1.
3. Assess the potential magnitude and effect of low-level organic enrichment from OOA on environmental/ecosystem health.
4. Broader outcomes.
