A Comparison Of Seagrass Communities At Varying Proximity To A Low-Density Mussel-Line Aquaculture In King George Sound, Western Australia, John A. Eyres

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Increasingly mussel-line aquaculture is recognised as a potential threat to seagrass. Sites suitable for mussel-line aquaculture are often in sheltered waters containing seagrass. Despite this; few studies have examined the risk of mussel-line aquaculture to seagrass ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine how low-density, mussel-line aquaculture might influence the underlying seagrass ecosystem.
