Supplemental Information
The transport and deposition on the seabed of the organic matter released by shellfish was simulated using the integrated model Fish Cage Integrated Model (FiCIM), described by Brigolin et al. (2014). The model combines three generic modules, respectively accounting for: (i) individual growth and dynamics of the farmed population; (ii) organic particle tracking and deposition; (iii) benthic degradation (early diagenesis). The present work made use of a model version developed in Brigolin et al. 2017, in which the final output considered is the area (m2) in which the average organic carbon flux along the farming cycle (ΦC) > 0.1 g C m−2 d−1. ΦC was selected, being considered as a major driver of sediment biogeochemical transformation.
