Carrying capacity for mussel aquaculture in Malpeque Bay, Prince Edward Island / R. Filgueira ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2015-001E-PDF
Mussel aquaculture is a significant industry in Prince Edward Island (Canada), and a moratorium on further leasing there was established in 1999 - 2000. Recently, a Marine Spatial Planning process was initiated in order to review the moratorium and explore the potential expansion of mussel culture in Malpeque Bay. In this study, we have focused on the effects of a projected expansion scenario (590 ha) on current mussel lease (770 ha) productivity and availability of suspended food resources.
