Ocean modelling for aquaculture and fisheries in Irish waters

摘要: Abstract. The Marine Institute, Ireland, runs a suite of operational regional and coastal ocean models. Recent developments include several tailored products that focus on the key needs Irish aquaculture sector. In this article, an overview services derived from models are presented. authors give shellfish model developed in-house was designed to predict growth, physiological interactions with ecosystem, level coliform contamination blue mussel. As such, is applicable in studies carrying capacity embayments, assessment impacts pollution grounds, determination water classes. Further assimilation model-predicted shelf movement into new harmful algal bloom alert system used inform end users potential toxic events high biomass blooms fish-killing species. Models also identify sites for offshore aquaculture, cross-contamination farms dispersal planktonic sea lice larvae other pathogens can infect finfish, provide modelled underpin advisory sustainable exploitation resources marine fisheries. This paper demonstrates invaluable contribution growth
