“…A key driver for the expansion of aquaculture production is the ability to have control over the production processes since this allows the application of systematic research and development leading to innovations (Kumar and Engle, 2016;Asche, 2017). The responses raised several production issues that need to be overcome for IMTA to be implemented at a larger scale in Europe.…”

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) refers to the integrated farming of several species from different trophic levels in close proximity. In IMTA, one species is intended to complement another. The concept has long been in use in Asia and contributes significantly to the sustainability of aquaculture as it can potentially drive ecological efficiency, environmentally acceptability, productdiversity, profitability and benefit society. Although the concept has received increasing academic attention during the last two decades, it has not yet become a commercial reality in European mariculture. The reasons for this were explored, by interviewing farmers and scientists with previous experience on IMTA. The interviewing approach can be effective in identifying important omissions from the available literature and also possible exaggerations of positive results. For the purposes of this study, a qualitative survey was undertaken using a structured questionnaire with open-ended questions. As a result, the opinions of 34 farmers and scientists with substantial experience of IMTA

“…Although production and market development are important for the successful uptake of IMTA technology, the regulatory system is equally important, and often receives less attention (Asche, 2017;Osmundsen et al, 2017). Issues related to the regulatory system and legislation were among the mostcommon IMTA challenges identified by the survey.…”

“…The ability of firms to internationalize, comply with environmental commitment and innovate will determine their survival capacity (Cordón Lagares et al, 2018). An integrated multi-disciplinary chain approach to food quality and safety is necessary, since in the future the most innovative systems, addressing technological, logistical, economic, environmental and organizational aspects, will probably vary with species, country, region and policies (Asche, 2017;Bush et al, 2019).…”
