While not a complete picture of the N cycling process associatedwith oyster aquaculture, this study did demonstrate a measurableand significant change in DO and Chl-a, along with an increase ofTAN downstream of the facility. Further research to understandthe fate of remineralized N that is made immediately availableby aquaculture facilities is necessary, along with the develop-ment and implementation of methods such as IMTA to utilize thisresource
