Estudo preliminar de impacto ambiental no sedimento, em área sob influência de cultivo de mexilhões pela técnica Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW)

Abstract

This studied investigated the environmental impact due mussel farm in the district of Anchieta (Brazil – ES) by spatial distribution of granulometric composition, organic matter and total phosphorus in the sediments. The results of this study indicate that the mussel culture did not alter significantly organic matter and phosphorus between sites that has direct and indirect influence of mussel culture. The impact can be considered like punctual, mainly in 2C station, where were met the bigger values of total phosphorus (0,17 mg/g) and organic matter (6%) concentration. In general the results suggest that the mussel farm is not causing impact in sediments and consequently in environment.
