Ecosystem based water quality models are important tools for prognostic site assessment and evaluation of ecosystem-performance of marine fish farms. We present the development and application of a comprehensive Fish Culture Zone Water Quality Model using continuous bi-weekly field data over a six-year period (2012–2017). The model simulates five interacting subsystems: phytoplankton, phosphorus and nitrogen cycles, and the dissolved oxygen (DO) and particulate organic carbon balance. The application of the model to two fish culture zones in Hong Kong shows the model captures the trends of nutrient and DO variation and the performance in quantitative prediction of algal biomass is challenging. The effect of errors in the specification of primary model inputs are evaluated using dimensionless sensitivity coefficients based on First Order Variance Analysis reveals the relative importance of fish stock (loading), physical size (volume), tidal flushing rate and boundary conditions in the prediction of key water quality variables.
