Impact of Cage Culture on Sediment Chemistry A Case Study in Mjoifjordur
Impact of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) cage culture in Mjoifjordur, Eastern Iceland on the chemistry of the sediment was investigated. Sediment samples were collected using a Shipek grab on 29.12.2003. A core sub-sample has taken from each grab for analyzing total organic matter, total organic carb...
