During the past three decades, aquaculture has greatly expanded, becoming the fastest growing food-producing sector, providing almost 50% of the world’s food supply of fish (FAO, 2002; Tacon and Halwart, 2007). This rapid growth has however generated increasing degradation of the natural environment. It is well known that fish farming releases a substantial amount of nutrients into the marine environment. Mariculture is described as a potential source of eutrophication, particularly organic phosphorus, nitrogen and ammonia, for the coastal environment. The degree of eutrophication depends on hydrographic conditions, particularly flushing rate. The aim was to investigate, by means of numerical modelling techniques, the effects of hydrodynamics on the accumulation of dissolved nutrients produced by fish farm activities in a semi-enclosed coastal area, the Gulf of Oristano. In particular, in order to better understand the close link existing between water hydrodynamics and the accumulation of dissolved nutrients several numerical experiments have been carried out. The obtained results have been analysed and discussed to identify the most important hydrodynamic factor influencing the rate of accumulation of dissolved substances produced by fish farm activities in the selected area.
