The fair way or the Chiloé? Exploring the role of certification in the governance of labour in aquaculture in Chiloé, Chile [graduate project].
(2016)Aquaculture has emerged as an increasingly important element of global food production systems as the total global population continues to rise, and climate change impacts yields in both agriculture and capture fisheries. ... -
Genetically Based Effects of Domesticated-Wild Outbreeding in Atlantic Salmon
(2013-10-15)Rapid advances in the aquaculture industry pose an environmental challenge that is generated by outbreeding between escaped domesticated and wild individuals. Given that escapees genetically differ from wild individuals ... -
Holistic carrying capacity for salmon aquaculture: The implication of social values
(2022-08-24)The increasing need to consider multiple pressures and take a more holistic approach to management of aquaculture has prompted the development of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)’s Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture ... -
How do third-party certifications control the use of antibiotics in global salmon aquaculture?
(2017-09-28)Since 1980 farmed salmon has become a vital food source and world commodity; however, the resulting increase in the use of antibiotics by the global aquaculture industry has raised health and environmental concerns, as ... -
Multi-scale assessment and simulation of sediment biogeochemical cycles in coastal areas: implications for ecosystem functioning and provision of services
(2017-08-29)Marine coastal sediments and associated communities provide benefits to humans through natural processes such as nitrate removal via denitrification (prevention or mitigation of eutrophication), burial of toxic substances ... -
Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Suspended Particulate Matter Surrounding Finfish Farms on the East and West Coasts of Canada
(2013-04-08)Achieving optimization of IMTA sites and modeling the efficiency of such a system requires knowledge of the spatiotemporal distribution and variability of TPM surrounding the finfish farms. The objective of this study was ... -
