Site assessment for potential finfish site: Oyster Bay
The feasibility of shifting the consent area for marine farm 8049 in Oyster Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound to deeper water was assessed in this report. Sampling of the new site and nearby reef was conducted using a remote-operated camera (ROV) to attain photographs and video transects, as well as an acoustic dropper current profiler (ADCP) to measure currents in the ocean. Mathematical modelling was also incorporated (DEPOMOD modelling). Results showed that depths were suitable for the development of a finfish farm, and the farm would be beyond any significant depositional footprint if established. Although greater production was likely to result in enrichment effects to the benthic communities which may result in a replacement of existing benthic species by opportunistic species.
