Abstract
Culture of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in a South African bay created organic enrichment and anoxia in sediments. Particulate organic matter(POM) was high under rafts versus the references, especially in the first 10 cm (C = 7.5 versus 0.4%, N = 0.7 versus 0.08%). Total reducible sulphides (TRS) increased threefold downcore (from 0.04 to 0.12%). High C:N ratios (12-15) indicated accumulation of refractory POM, derived mainly from faeces and decaying mussels and foulers. Although O-2 uptake by raft sediments was the lowest, rates could not conclusively be separated from the references. Ammonium dominated N efflux, the highest and most variable rates being under mussels (825 +/- 500 mu mol NH4.m(-2).h(-1)). Phosphate efflux (25-140mu mol.m(-2).h(-1)) could not be ascribed to culture biodeposition, but there was an inconclusive trend for the molar N:P ratio to be highest in these sediments. Macrofauna biomass was reduced and trophic groups and taxa altered. Under rafts, macrofauna and organic debris were linked to O-2 uptake rates, whereas at the reference sites, macrofauna appeared to be the major O-2 consumer. It was concluded that POM and TRS in sediment as well as macrofauna biomass, and potentially molar N:P ratios, were more sensitive indicators of benthic impact from mussel culture than O-2 uptake rates or nutrient fluxes.
