The performance of ...

This work develops, applies, and tests a methodology for simulating three key determinants of aquaculture carrying capacity: production, environmental effects, and pathogen interactions. Deterministic models for simulation of biomass production and environmental effects for fish and shellfish were...

This special publication of the Canadian Aquaculture Research and Development Review 2013 (no.23) is an ongoing compendium of the aquaculture research and development projects that have been underway over the past two years from all across Canada.
