4.1.5 Environmental Quality Criteria EQC, encompassing EQG and EQS, have been developed for the following indicators/stressors: shading & smothering, algal growth potential, toxicants, phytoplankton biomass and other physical and chemical stressors. The EQC were developed in the context of the likely cause-effect-pathway shown in Figure 4.2. Effects�and�their�indicators Key Inorganic� nutrients � Algal�blooms Chlorophyll-a Shading %�Coral� mucous Effect EQG�Indicator Figure 4.2 EQG and EQS in the context of likely cause-effect-pathways Environmental Quality Guidelines The EQG for water quality are provided in Table 4.2. The EQG provide early warning of the potential for environmental impact, by focussing on primary indicators, TSS (LOI) and ammonia (as a toxicant), and secondary indicators, DO and chlorophyll-a. Although no EQG have been developed for inorganic nutrients, concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) will be collected for contextual purposes. As DIN is rapidly assimilated by phytoplankton 7 , the potential for adverse effects resulting from inorganic nutrients will be assessed via the EQG for phytoplankton biomass (i.e. chlorophyll-a). For details on how to apply the EQG (particularly those listed beneath moderate protection), refer to Section 5.1. 7 Microscopic algae in the water column Likely�Cause�Effect�Pathways:�Cone�Bay�Aquaculture Coral� pigment � Coral�health EQS�Indicator LAC Effects�and�their�indicators TSS�&�LAC Shading Sedimentation Nutrient� release Redox�discont. � Sediment� DO Changes/impact�to�sediment� infauna�communities � Sediment� ammonia Visual�changes�to� sediment�characteristics Oceanica: Marine Produce Australia: Cone Bay Barramundi Aquaculture, Environmental Monitoring & Management Plan 17 DO TSS Sediment� nutrients DO Macrofauna mortality Bottom� ammonia Simpson� Index Image� analysis�
