For example, the Thau lagoon in southern France is an important site for oysters Crassostrea gigas and mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis farming Bacher et al. 1995 ; the Adriatic lagoons in northern Italy namely the Venice, Scardovari, and Sacca di Goro lagoons on average attained a production of around 60,000 t yr 1 of the Manila clams, Ruditapes philippinarum Solidoro et al. 2000 . The combination of all these pressures calls for an integrated management that considers lagoon hydrodynamics, ecology, nutrient cycles, river runoff influence, shellfish farming, macroalgal blooms, and sediments, as well as the socioeconomical implications of different possible management strategies. Historically, coastal lagoons have undergone multiple and uncoordinated modifications undertaken with only limited sectorial objectives. For example, land use modifications in the watershed affect the nutrient loadings to the lagoon, and modifications in lagoon bathymetry by dredging change the hydrodynamics. All these factors are responsible for community shifts, and trophic status changes up to eutrophic and dystrophic conditions are achieved, with macroalgal blooms Viaroli et al. 2008 , oxygen depletion, and sulphides production mainly in summer Viaroli et al. 1995; Chapelle et al. 2001; Marinov et al. 2008; Giordani, Azzoni, et al. 2008 . 9780429132667 Published version http //www.scopus.com/record/display.url eid=2 s2.0 85123663272 origin=inward Traduzione in volume martina.austoni AUSTONI MARTINA DITTY Development of an information technology tool for the management of european southern lagoons under the influence of river basin runoff |
