Summary

Hydrodynamic models were constructed for four mollusc shellfish production sites which represented a range of bathymetry and climatic conditions: Dungarven Bay (Republic of Ireland), Bay of Brest (France), Ria de Vigo (Spain) and the Ebro Delta (Spain). The modelling software used for each of these studies is Telemac (Hervouet, 2007).

To investigate the spread of diseases within the marine environment, passive tracers (without decay terms) were released within each model domain from known aquaculture sites. The environmental conditions chosen for the simulation were typical of the summer months in each area, which are the conditions permissive for the pathogens of interest (e.g. oyster herpesvirus).

For each study site, model results then provide the concentration of tracer over time as an indication of pathogen concentration, alongside other water column properties.
