This publication synthesizes a roundtable held to review the state of knowledge of water quality impacts of aquaculture in the Great Lakes. The proceedings began with background talks on aquaculture in the Great Lakes Basin and its known & potential long-term environmental impacts, and the prevention or abatement of water quality impacts. This was followed by case studies of aquaculture experiences & lessons from Ontario, Michigan, Minnesota, and British Columbia. Recommendations are provided regarding monitoring strategies, research needs, reducing environmental impacts from aquaculture, and related matters. Appendices include extended abstracts of presentations.
