Although mariculture operations may expand the production of seafood without additional exploitation of wild populations, they still depend upon and affect natural ecosystems and ecosystem services. Every additional animal has an incremental effect arising from food extraction and waste excretion. Increasing domestic seafood production in the United States in an environmentally and socially responsible way will likely require the use of policy tools, such as best management practices (BMPs) and performance standards. BMPs represent one approach to protecting against undesirable consequences of mariculture. An alternative approach to voluntary or mandatory BMPs is the establishment of performance standards for mariculture. Variability in environmental conditions makes it difficult to develop BMPs that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to protect ecosystem integrity across a broad range of locations and conditions. An alternative that measures performance in sustaining key indicators of ecosystem state and function may be more effective. Because BMPs address mariculture methods rather than monitoring actual ecosystem responses, they do not guarantee that detrimental ecosystem impacts will be controlled or that unacceptable impact will be avoided. Ecosystem Concepts for Sustainable Bivalve Mariculture finds that while performance standards can be applied for some broad ecosystem indicators, BMPs may be more appropriate for addressing parameters that change from site to site, such as the species being cultured, different culture methods, and various environmental conditions. This book takes an in-depth look at the environmental, social, and economic issues to present recommendations for sustainable bivalve mariculture."--Publisher's description. 606 $aBivalve culture$zUnited States 606 $aBivalve culture$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aMariculture$zUnited States 606 $aShellfish fisheries$zUnited States$xManagement 615 0$aBivalve culture 615 0$aBivalve culture$xManagement. 615 0$aMariculture 615 0$aShellfish fisheries$xManagement. 676 $a639.4 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Best Practices for Shellfish Mariculture and the Effects of Commercial Activities in Drakes Estero, Pt.
