International Workshop on Modelling Environmental Interactions of Mariculture


The ICES Working Group on Environmental Interactions of Mariculture organised a Modelling Workshop at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, 6-8 September 1995, chaired by Drs W. Silvert and B. T. Hargrave of the Habitat Science Division. The objective of the Workshop was to bring together researchers actively involved in the development of models of mariculture interactions in order to identify and compare different approaches to modelling the environmental interactions of mariculture, and to evaluate performance, application and cost-effectiveness of these models. The focus was on finfish interactions in light of the fact that the ICES Shellfish Committee will be organizing a similar workshop in 1996, but some relevant papers dealing with shellfish culture were included.
