• the relationship between effluents, eutrophication or pollution of
water bodies, and changes in the fauna of receiving waters
• land use, in particular conversion of sensitive areas such as
mangroves and wetlands
• water use and water loss from surface water systems
• overexploitation of stock over other resource uses, such as fish oil
• predator control, such as the killing of birds near aquaculture
facilities
• genetic alteration of existing stocks from escaped hatchery products
• antibiotic and hormone use, which may influence aquatics species
near aquaculture facilities
