Oceanographic observations in coastal waters of Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, 2008-2014 / by F.H. Page ... [et al.].: Fs97-6/3240E-PDF

"The coast of Shelburne County, Nova Scotia is a developing aquaculture area. The addition of new salmon farms in this area has raised concerns for potential environmental effects of having several farms operating within the Shelburne area. Previously, the DEPOMOD model was used to predict benthic impacts of the three proposed salmon farms in this area. Research has been recently conducted on developing improved water circulation predictions in the Shelburne area using the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model. FVCOM will be used to provide improved predictions of environmental impacts of fish farms in this area. The purpose of this study was to collect additional current velocity and hydrographic data to assist in the validation and calibration of FVCOM in the Shelburne area. This report includes data collected as part of a project supported by the DFO Program for Aquaculture Regulatory Research (PARR, project 2012-M-06), including the original project during 2012-2013 and project extensions for 2013-2014 and 2014-2016"--Introd., p.
