Impacts of organic matter input from mariculture on the bioturbation recycling capacity of polychaetes in marine sediments

Burrows of bioturbating infauna are hotspots for organic matter recycling in the sediments. This capacity however is affected by increased waste fishfeed input from mariculture producing H2S, a toxic substance to the fauna and a rate-limiting factor for organic matter degradation. Effects of polych...
