Impact of fish farming on marine ecosystems - Croatian experiences

Mariculture in Croatia is an important economic sector and has expanded significantly during the last decade. To minimize negative ecological impacts of mariculture on the marine environment, certain legislative regulations have been enforced including obligatory periodical monitoring of phisico-chemical parameters and of benthic communities at farming sites. Some of the monitoring results presented in this paper have led to further legislative improvements introducing minimum site depths and distance to coast as important parameters for location permission.
