Results for tag: "Multi Trophic Aquaculture"

Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (MTA) is an aquaculture system that combines multiple species of aquatic organisms in a single production system. This type of aquaculture is designed to mimic natural ecosystems, and is often used to increase the sustainability of aquaculture operations. MTA systems typically include a combination of fish, shellfish, and seaweed, which are grown in a way that maximizes the benefits of each species. The fish provide nutrients to the shellfish and seaweed, while the shellfish and seaweed filter the water and provide habitat for the fish. MTA systems are becoming increasingly popular as a way to reduce the environmental impacts of aquaculture. By combining multiple species, MTA systems can reduce the amount of feed and fertilizer needed, as well as reduce the amount of waste produced. Additionally, MTA systems can provide a more diverse range of products, such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed, which can be sold to consumers. Some companies in the MTA market include Ocean Farm Technologies, AquaBounty Technologies, and BlueNalu. These companies are focused on developing and commercializing MTA systems for a variety of applications, including fish farming, shellfish farming, and seaweed farming. Show Less Read more
