Aquaculture AquaModel can be used to examine near and far field effects of individual or clusters of farms in the coastal shelf where nearshore or open-ocean aquaculture may develop. It is being adapted to deal with multiple, separate cages and multiple farm sites to meet this challenge. Learn more |

AquaModel - At a Glance
Numerical models are increasingly important for planning and permitting of marine fish farms. Models range from simple one-box simulations to complex mainframe-oceanic models potentially capable of managing entire coastal systems.
AquaModel is an information system to assess the operations and impacts of fish farms in both water column and benthic environments, the first of its kind.
AquaModel provides a real-time, three-dimensional simulation of the growth and metabolic activity of penned fish as well as the associated flow and transformation of nutrients, oxygen, and particulate wastes in adjacent waters and sediments. It runs on Windows personal computers and has drop down menus and a help menu and can be operated on different levels of complexity to suit the needs of the user.
AquaModel is being used by us a consulting tool but that we will provide it as a complete package to governments under licensing requirements.
