Refining sea-bed process models for aquaculture
DEPOMOD was funded by a NERC-MAFF Link programme and was a collaboration between SAMS (NERC DML then), Marine Harvest and SEPA from 1997 to 1999. Its purpose is to predict the benthic impacts on sediment dwelling animals from marine cage farms given farm (configuration, feeding rate) and environment...
