| A spatially explicit coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model was developed to study a coastal ecosystem under the combined effects of mussel aquaculture, nutrient loading and climate change. The model was applied to St Peter's Bay (SPB), Prince Edward Island, Eastern Canada. Approximately 40 % of the SPB area is dedicated to mussel (Mytilus edulis) longline culture. Results indicate that the two main food sources for mussels, phytoplankton and organic detritus, are most depleted in the central part of the embayment. Results also suggest that the system is near its ultimate capacity, a state where the energy cycle is restricted to nitrogen-phytoplankton-detritus-mussels with few resources left to be transferred to higher trophic levels. Annually, mussel... |

| This six year experiment quantified the impacts of management factors on red clover yield, persistence, nutritive value and ensilability, and compared these to perennial ryegrass receiving inorganic N fertiliser. Within a randomised complete block design, field plots were used to evaluate a 2 (cultivar; Merviot and Ruttinova) x 2 (alone or with perennial ryegrass) x 2 (0 and 50 kg fertiliser N/ha in mid March) x 2 (harvest schedule) combination of factors relating to red clover, and a 2 (harvest schedule) x 4 (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N/ha for each cut) combination of factors relating to perennial ryegrass. The Early and Late harvest schedules both involved four cuts per year but commenced a fortnight apart. Red clover treatments averaged 14,906 kg dry... |
