The EU have published a guide which deals comprehensively with all of the issues where Aquaculture impacts on the environment.
The guide covers nine potential environmental impacts:
- Domestication
- Introduced Marine Species
- Capture of Wild Stocks for Aquaculture Needs
- Feed Ingredients
- Organic Matter in the Effluents
- Pathogen Transfer
- Therapeutic and other Products
- Antifouling Products
- Effects on Local Flora and Fauna
The Guide can be downloaded here: (2007). Guide for the Sustainable Development of Mediterranean Aquaculture. Interaction between Aquaculture and the Environment IUCN, Gland, Switzerland and Malaga, Spain. 107 pages.
While the Guide was prepared for the Mediteranean it presents information that will be useful in any context.
