. Ongoing environmental change processes, global population growth, and fisheries and food availability trends also imply a steadily increasing role for coastal aquaculture across the globe.


Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) Institut océanographique

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture ( IMTA) provides the byproducts, including waste, from one aquatic species as inputs ( fertilizers, food) for another.


Conceptual diagram of an integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA

The integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) concept was developed as a way to increase the sustainability of intensive aquaculture systems, using an ecosystem-based approach.


Conceptual diagram of an integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) is the farming, in proximity, of species from different trophic levels and with complementary ecosystem functions in a way that allows one species' uneaten feed and wastes, nutrients and by-products to be recaptured and converted into fertilizer, feed and energy for the other crops, and to take advanta.


Integrated multitrophic aquaculture

The integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) is one of the production strategies that promotes synergistic interactions between species by combining trophic levels and utilizing.


Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) in Marine Temperate Waters

IMTA is the intensive and synergistic cultivation using water-borne nutrients and energy transfer between various species occupying different trophic levels. It provides the byproducts including waste from one aquatic species as input (fertilizer, food) for another.

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, or IMTA, is similar to polyculture, where two or more organisms are farmed together. In IMTA, multiple aquatic species from different trophic levels are farmed in an integrated fashion to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and provide ecosystem services, such as bio-remediation.


Integrated multitrophic aquaculture in practice and in concept

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture is one approach to mitigate ecological effects of finfish mariculture, and its benefits are prompting increased interest among researchers and commercial growers worldwide. A project in the Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada has demonstrated the biological and technical feasibility of integrated multi-trophic.

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) with seaweeds improves abalone growth. • IMTA designs with high recirculation rates increase system pH. • Abalone growth was positively associated with pH levels in the IMTA system. • IMTA designs altered water chemistry and can reduce eutrophication. •

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems are a circular economy paradigm that contribute towards making aquaculture more sustainable and competitive.

In the United States and Canada, IMTA is an evolving approach to seafood production that emphasizes an ecosystem management approach where 'fed' species, such as finfish or shrimp, are farmed in close proximity to species that can 'extract' nutrients from the water column, such as shellfish and algae or seaweed.

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture Fulfilling aquaculture's growth potential requires responsible technologies and practices. Sustainable aquaculture should be ecologically efficient, environmentally benign, product-diversified, profitable and societally beneficial.

In this context, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) is one of the best solutions to bring in sustainability in aquaculture. Earlier studies suggest that raising the ecosystem capacity, i.e., increasing the succession of trophic levels may enhance the biomass production of seaweed.
