“…A lab and field study in Canada found that mussels fed salmon feed and fecal particulates showed the same organic matter absorption efficiency as those consuming commercial bivalve feeds (Reid et al 2010). A pilot project in the Bay of Fundy grew seaweed and mussels with salmon, and a social acceptability survey found an increased approval rating for IMTA compared to monoculture (Ridler et al 2007). In the United Kingdom, Whitmarsh et al (2006) concluded that mussels could remove a proportion of the organic waste produced by salmon farms while also offering financial benefits to the owner.…”

“…IMTA promotes economic and environmental sustainability by converting byproducts and uneaten feed from fed organisms into harvestable crops, thereby reducing eutrophication, and increasing economic diversification (Neori et al 2004;Troell et al 2003). IMTA has been investigated extensively in Atlantic Canada with salmon, blue mussels and kelps Ridler et al 2006Ridler et al , 2007Robinson et al 2007).…”

Aquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Ocean

Aquaculture of extractive species, such as bivalves and macroalgae, already supplies a large amount of the production consumed worldwide, and further production is steadily increasing. Moving aquaculture operations off the coast as well as combining various uses at one site, commonly called multi-use aquaculture, is still in its infancy. Various projects worldwide, pioneered in Germany and later accompanied by other European projects, such as in Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, as well as other international projects in the Republic of Korea and the USA, to name a few, started to invest in robust technologies and to investigate in system design needed that species can be farmed to market size in high energy environments. There are a few running enterprises with extractive species offshore, however, multi-use scenarios as well as offshore IMTA concepts are still on project scale. This will change soon as the demand is dramatically increasing and space is limited.

“…It is therefore difficult to compare the situation in different countries. Such considerations have been shown to apply to several farms [16,19,22]. The by-production of high-quality seaweed in the biofilters calls for the co-culture of marine macroalgivores.…”
