WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Project 6.4 - Defining Thresholds and Indicators of Filter-feeder Response to Dredging Related Pressures - LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS, Western Australia

Project 6.4 - Laboratory experiments: Determine relative responses of benthic filter feeders to elevated sediment deposition, TSS and light reduction in controlled laboratory experiments. These laboratory experiments will enable the identification of lethal and sub-lethal thresholds, the potential of filter feeders to recover from dredging pressures, and the key pressures for each organism (sedimentation vs. turbidity vs. light attenuation), and thereby facilitate the development of pressure:response relationships. The threshold data obtained during this study are intended to be compatible with sediment plume modelling, enabling improved spatial risk analyses for tropical nearshore filter feeders, presently only involving sponges. Laboratory experiments will identify both lethal and sub-lethal thresholds of dredging on adult sponges.
