This paper introduces a DPSIR framework for the estimation of the aquacultural carrying and waste-assimilating capacities of fjordic water bodies. The ACExR-LESV physical-biological model, intended as a water quality management support tool by simulating pressure-impact relationships, is described in outline. Results of testing in a typical Scottish fjord are reported, and the estimation of a loch's capacity to assimilate waste from finfish farming is exemplified. © 2010 The Authors.
