(Assessment of Carrying Capacity and Environmental Risk) is a numerical modeling framework designed to simulate the environmental impact of aquaculture, specifically within sea-loch and fjord systems. Developed primarily by researchers at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), the model provides a critical tool for regulators and planners to determine the ecological carrying capacity of specific water bodies. Core Purpose and Functionality

Used in Scotland and New Zealand to provide scientific advice for aquaculture licensing and zoning. The ACExR-LESV Extension the ACExR-LESV model for sea-loch aquaculture (Assessment of Carrying Capacity and Environmental Risk) is
