- Abstract
- This study aimed to detect the impact of organic loads due to biodeposition from a fish farm in an
exposed area of the Strait of Sicily, Mediterranean Sea. Sediment chemistry and meiofaunal assemblages
were investigated on a seasonal basis at four stations: two from the impacted area and two control
stations. The presence of the cages induced a significant accumulation of proteins, lipids and biopolymeric
carbon, resulting in a reduction in meiofaunal density at the impacted stations. Changes in community
structure were also evident, as meiofauna under the cages were characterized by increased importance of
polychaetes and copepods in comparison with a much lower importance of gastrotrichs and kinorynchs.
Moreover, biodiversity decreased beneath the cages due to the disappearance of taxa more sensitive to
organic accumulation. This finding allowed us to propose the ration of nematodes to kinorynchs as a
possible, potentially interesting, indicator of fish farm biodeposition. (literal)
