Future directions include:
- Adaptation for "integrated aquaculture" (combined fish, shellfish or seaweed production)
- Development of a real time farm operation management option through the use of feedback sensors and probes to optimize fish farm operations for limiting factors such as dissolved oxygen flux
- Development of additional generic models of fish physiology for specific families of actual or candidate aquaculture fishes
- New types of contouring output for the model to quantitatively integrate isopleths of change around farms over variable time periods
- Description of changes in sediment interstitial oxygen based on published research previously done by some of our colleagues
- Verification of a consolidation element to the benthic submodel based on experimental and monitoring evidence
