Impact de la pisciculture marine intensive sur l'environnement : (2) l'environnement d'un site d'élevage de salmonidés en cages flottantes, Camaret année 1994

This document presents a year-long (1994) environmental study conducted on a site of intensive farming of salmonids (mainly fario trout) in Camaret Bay. A set of parameters were considered for the body of water and the sea bed (flow patterns, hydrology, sedimentology, biology, chemistry) and complemented by video observations. The study concluded that there was a measurable effect from the farm in its current configuration, but that the impact was of a very limited intensity and scope that did not affect the environment in a substantial way. It is recommended that production growth be accompanied by a minimum amount of environmental assessment.
