Impacts of organic waste from a yellowtail cage farm on surface sediment and bottom water in Shido Bay (the Seto Inland Sea, Japan)

Present study, the organic waste impacts of a yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) culture on sediment and water qualities were investigated at an intensive cage farm located in a coastal ecosystem (Shido Bay, the Seto Inland Sea, Japan) during low and high feeding times. The results indicated that dramatic impacts of organic waste from a yellowtail cage on surface sediments and bottom water differences in Shido Bay.
