Abstract:Coastal aquaculture operations for feed additive species results in the release of waste into the surrounding environment, with the potential for adverse environmental change. Ubiquitous pelagic protists are sensitive to environmental changes making them potential sentinels for detecting and monitoring impacts. This study used 18S rRNA high-throughput amplicon sequencing as a molecular tool to study the pelagic protist community, with the aim of evaluating their potential as bioindicators of aquaculture activi… Show more
