ABSTRACT

More advanced system of aquaculture. Different species with various nutritional needs are combined into one system. IMTA uses the waste products of one species as feed or fertilizer for another species. For example, seaweed grows from the phosphorus and ammonia that fish and shrimp excrete. Shellfish feed on the solids that fish and shrimp produce. An efficient IMTA is environmentally and economically sustainable because it recycles nutrients and increases profits https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003142416/818dbe3b-575d-4dac-90a4-2197869efba2/content/fig0001.jpg"/> https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003142416/818dbe3b-575d-4dac-90a4-2197869efba2/content/fig0002.jpg"/> 11 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003142416/818dbe3b-575d-4dac-90a4-2197869efba2/content/fig0003.jpg"/>
