The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Biological Nutrient Sinks for Salmon Farms | Ep. 83

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show's Chile Special Series, we examine nutrient management in intensive finfish production under changing coastal conditions. We explore how reduced flushing can increase nitrogen accumulation and why integrating macroalgae and bivalves may strengthen carrying capacity management. By combining biological extraction with dynamic production models, farms can improve long-term stability in restricted coastal environments. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Aquaculture and Its Impacts on the Conservation of Chilean Patagonia" by Alejandro H. Buschmann, Edwin J. Niklitschek, and Sandra V. Pereda
