  1. ECASA Steering CommitteeWP 2 Progress Santiago de Compostela 18th june 2005

  2. 1- List of indicatorsfrom Ecasa members • Aquaculture use of shoreline • Minimum Oxygen • Secchi measurements • WQ in farms • Fall of OM and macrofauna • MU Fatty acid in the sediment • Assets eutrophication assessment

  3. Nutrients concentration • Phytoplankton and chlorophyll a • Chlorophyll a measurements • AMBI • Sulfate and ammonia Gradient • Trophic groups, macrofauna • Macrobenthic BFI • TOC • Nitrifiers • Sedimentation flux

  4. DNA Damage indicators • MtDNA • EROD • Water availability • validated distance • Total phosphorus in sediment • Redox • Macrofauna • Macrofauna univariate

  5. Output • Productivity • Employment • Profit • Damage costs • Multipliers • Producer prices • Consumers prices • See separate document for an extensive list

  6. 2- 34 indicators • macrofauna well considered • sediment • pelagic: chlorophyll mainly • other compartments are not proposed • spatial aspects are poorly considered • Socio economics are well addressed

  7. 3-Improvements • Data needed for indicator computation • References • Layman ’s lenguage explanations on the meaning are required • « indicator manual » for the toolbox • Considerations on assessment for use by WP4 are to be improved

  8. Interactions with other WP • How to evaluate interactions between mariculture and environments from indicators and models? • To assess indicators and models is a common task. We need to organize it • Selecting indicators and models toolbox from operational view. What need to be tested?

  9. Further Tasks for WP 2 • Reduce the number of overlapping indicators • Ecosystem approach indicators • Bibliography • WP Plan

  10. Deliverables / Milestones • Report on the results of meeting on identifying and quantifying the indicators of the impact of aquaculture on environment D5 • annotated list of indicators, including specific formulae, field of application, and references. D7 • Report on the relevance of indicators to quantify the impacts of aquaculture on ecosystems. D10
