Abstract

We investigated the impact of fish farm biodeposition on benthic bacteria thraustochytrid protists and heterotrophic protozoa nanoflagellates and ciliates in an oligotrophic area of the Mediterranean Sea The fish farm impact was investigated both on a seagrass Posidonia oceanica bed and on soft bottom sediments In both systems sediment samples were collected with a multicontrol sampling strategy ie beneath the fish farm and at three control sites per system The uneaten food pellets supplied to the fish determined the accumulation of sediment organic matter and the enhancement of protein content in impacted sediments both seagrass bed and soft sediments In both systems the abundance and biomass of heterotrophic protists increased significantly beneath the fish farm but the structure of the protist assemblages responded differently in vegetated and unvegetated sediments Thraustochytrid abundance increased significantly in impacted seagrass These results provide evidence that the structure of protist assemblages respond significantly to fish farm biodeposition and indicate that the monitoring of these benthic components provides complementary information for the assessment of the fish farm impact on the benthic systemsThis work was carried out in the frame of the program MEDVEG financially supported by the European Union contract no Q5RS200102456 We thank Prof M Holmer Southern Denmark University for support in all phases of the work and for useful discussions C Corinaldesi G Luna and FM Perrone Polytechnic University of Marche are acknowledged for their help during sampling
