The assimilative capacity of the receiving environment for the major nutrients and sediments in prawn farm effluent was quantified by describing the dynamics of C, N, O, and P pathways in the substrate and water column of discharge channels and creeks, to determine the environmental impact of prawn farm effluent.

Existing hydrodynamic models of the Hinchinbrook Channel and Port Douglas estuaries were refined and extended in order to predict the behaviour of prawn farm effluent entering coastal waterways, thus enabling simulation modelling of the carrying capacity of the environment for prawn farming.
