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.
