Aquaculture-environment interactions: productivity and critical threshold,
coordination, dissemination and networking
The purpose of this project is to promote greater collaboration among
researchers in the field of aquaculture-environment interactions and to
disseminate the results of research projects under way. Specifically, the
project is divided into three components: 1) determining the critical
threshold in terms of the quantity of mussels that will not impact the
benthic environment of the lagoons of the Magdalen Islands; 2) describing
the impact of mussel farming on the productivity of the lagoons of the
Magdalen Islands; and 3) organizing a special workshop on the interactions
between aquaculture and the environment during the international Benthic
Ecology Meeting to be held in Quebec City in March 2006 with special
emphasis on the work that is being conducted in Quebec. This last component
would put the research group’s work into context and promote regional,
national and international dissemination of the research findings.Project Start Date: November 24, 2005
Project Completion Date: March 31, 2008
