ANALYSIS
Strengths
- Planning documents advocate an ecosystem-based approach to the planning of aquaculture that takes into account the carrying capacity of bays.
Weaknesses
- There is limited public information on key performance indicators at the farm and often county-level. This includes production volume and health and disease indicators, but also farm-level information on the results of mandatory water quality, disease, sea lice, and benthic monitoring.
