A dual indicator approach for monitoring benthic impacts from organic enrichment with test application near Atlantic salmon farms.
Marine Pollution Bulletin 2017 November 16
The organic enrichment of surficial sediments has a known effect on benthic faunal communities due largely to oxygen depletion and sulfide toxicity. Total dissolved sulfide (free S-2 =H2 S+HS- +S2- ) concentrations in sediments are widely measured as a practical indicator of community effects. However, the standard ion selective electrode (ISE) method for free S-2 analysis can provide biased results owing to the inclusion of non-toxic mineral sulfides and the oxidation and volatilization of free S-2 . A rapid field protocol was developed that alleviates these problems while also providing data on dissolved oxygen concentrations. Sediments collected near salmon aquaculture pens over cohesive and permeable substrates were analysed using the standard and new protocols. The results confirm previous conclusions of artifacts with the standard ISE method, while the dual indicator approach more accurately describes the stages, spatial extent and magnitude of sediment geochemical alterations affecting benthic communities.
