Multiple effects of eutrophication in the St. Lawrence
The excessive introduction of organic matter and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) mainly from domestic, industrial and agricultural discharges leads to eutrophication of the St. Lawrence River and causes its deterioration. The causes and consequences of this phenomenon were discussed during a one-day symposium presented Tuesday at the 88th Acfas congress. Mathilde Jutras (doctoral student at McGill University) and Michel Starr (researcher at Fisheries and Oceans Canada), talk about the multiple effects of eutrophication in the St. Lawrence Estuary.
