Sediment samples, in different depths and from three stations at various distances from the cage, were collected, for analyzing total organic matter, total organic carbon, total nitrogen and phosphorus. The results showed a significant increase in all analyzed parameters in station 1, at 5 m from the cage. The difference between reference station （600 m from the cage） and station 2 at 95 m to the cage was insignificant, indicating lo- calized impact of cage farming to the vicinity of cage. The analyzed parameters in various depths did not show a significant difference. The values of analyzed parameters in the perimeter of the cage and their differences with reference stations showed small magnitude and localized impact on the chemistry of sediment. It might be because of deep water and moderate velocity of water current in this fjord. The magnitude of impact may dif- fer durina the summer when biomass and feedina rate would be at the maximum level.展开更多
