Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) is an innovative mariculture methodology that reduces the environmental footprint and increases profitability of farm. It combines cultivation species belonging to different trophic levels, simulating a natural food web. In this study, five Mediterranean were co-cultured in three operating fish farms Aegean (E. Mediterranean) Sea with conditions. The co-cultivated sea bream (Sparus aurata), European bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), mussel (Mytilus...
Τhis study aims to measure the abundance of microplastic (MP) particles in soft tissue mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and pearl oyster (Pinctada imbricata radiata) specimens. Samples were collected at four sites Greece (Sagiada, Malesina, Elounda, Rhodes) from wild farmed populations. The identification MPs was accomplished by Raman spectroscopy. Comparisons made between two different species where co-existed (Malesina), (five sampling stations) relation P. radiata individuals, also...
In addition to food supply, there is a growing recognition of the wider ecosystem benefits Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems in coastal waters, including regulating services such as carbon sequestration and nutrient remediation. The water trophic status co-cultured species combinations affect IMTA productivity. this study, we examined ability different organisms remediate nutrients economic/environmental gain for reducing environmental footprint potential eastern...
