Environmental sustainability of aquaculture is a complex issue involving effects at local (eg
benthic deterioration), regional (eg eutrophication) and global (eg catches for feed …

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems combining finfish and sea cucumbers
remain largely untested. Integrating a deposit-feeding species into existing aquaculture units …

In this study the Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) approach was examined at a
gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, farm located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. To …

Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) aims to be an ecologically balanced aquaculture
practice that co-cultures species from multiple trophic levels to optimise the recycling of farm …

Finfish aquaculture commonly releases waste material in the form of excess feed and
faeces, which can impact the surrounding environment, often through increased oxygen …

As a fast-growing food production industry, aquaculture is dealing with the need for
intensification due to the global increasing demand for fish products. However, this also …

The use of detritivores under sea farms is a promising avenue to mitigate the benthic
impacts of marine fish farms. Sea cucumbers are interesting candidates for integrated multi …

In a 12-month field trial we examined the growth and survival of California sea cucumbers
(Parastichopus californicus) in suspended culture underneath net pens of sablefish …

There is significant commercial and research interest in the application of sea cucumbers as
nutrient recyclers and processors of particulate waste in polyculture or integrated …

The performance of deposit feeders in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) was
analysed through the application of mathematical models. Loading of organic particulates to …
