Offshore aquaculture systems risk nutrient imbalances; which outcome occurs when coastal upwelling strengthens nearby?

💡 Explanation

Harmful algal blooms flourish because increased nutrient delivery via coastal upwelling accelerates algal growth. Excess algae causes blooms that reduce light penetration which reduces aquaculture production rather than oxygen depletion alone; therefore, algal blooms proliferate.
