Includes bibliographical references (p. 19-23). "Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have been farmed in the coastal waters of southwestern New Brunswick (SWNB), Bay of Fundy since 1978. There are currently over 90 licensed farms, of which approximately half are actively farming salmon at any given time. The Environmental Management Program (EMP) for the Marine Finfish Cage Aquaculture Industry in New Brunswick requires annual benthic monitoring of all approved fish farms between 1 August and 31 October. The goal of the EMP is to evaluate the condition of the sediments under marine finfish farms, using sediment sulfide concentration (total free S2-) as the indicator of the state of the benthic community. Each farm is rated based on the monitoring results”--Cf. Introd., p. [1].
