Assessment of the effects of suspended dredge material on aquaculture organisms / Seakem Oceanography Limited.: En40-214/8E-PDF
"Several Atlantic Canadian aquaculture species were exposed to suspended particulate material (SPM) in laboratory and field experiments to investigate the effects of SPM concentrations typical of dredging operations on growth, length, weight, condition and mortality. In general, either no effect or slight negative effects were observed. The study also reviewed literature on effects of SPM on aquatic biota and includes data on SPM concentrations in the Maritimes"--Abstract, page i.
