The influence of fish farming on marine environment

In the beginning, fish farming was considered to be harmless to marine environment. Nowadays we know that fish farming can cause changes in ecosystem and is considered to be a potential polluter. The intensity and the range of pollution caused by fish farming depends on the stability of every single ecosystem (geomorphology, currents, and depth&#8230 ; ) and on the technology of fish farming as well as on the number and species of farmed organisms. The time and space dimension of eutrophication (excessive blooming of algae) depends on dynamics of the water body and can range from several days to a few years. Some side effects of fish farming can be solved by technical and technological improvements (off - shore farming) and by the complete integration of fish farming into ecological, social and economical structure of shore region. It is necessary to establish total control over the negative influences of fish farming on the marine environment and to notice potential changes in ecosystem on time.
