“…Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) is an aquaculture system that enables supplying food to the population, but in a more responsible and sustainable way (Khanjani et al, 2022). As suggested by the name of this practice, the "multi-trophic" approach refers to the presence in the aquaculture plan of organisms belonging to different trophic positions (Barrington et al, 2009) and the food niche of one species uses the waste produced by another species (Nissar et al, 2023).…”

Sponge farming has been experimentally performed for more than 100 years, with early attempts mainly devoted for the supply of bath sponges and for ornamental purposes. During the last decades, sponge farming has been proposed to produce biomass specifically for those species from which many structurally diverse bioactive compounds were isolated, frequently present in a low concentration that limits their commercial production. This point is very important because it offers an environmental-friendly approach for the use of sponges as a source of natural compounds for pharmacological, cosmeceutical, and nutraceutical industries. In addition, sponges can have an ecological role as filter-feeding animals with a great significance in marine benthic communities. Thanks to their aquiferous system, they can filter large amounts of sea water, retaining up to 80% of suspended particles, resulting in a good system to bioremediate the marine environment from different contaminants. Remarkably, few attempts at integrating aquaculture systems were performed by combining the increase in sponge biomass and their use for bioremediation, showing impressive results and opening new possibilities in the aquaculture sector. This review concerns both in situ and lab-based aquaculture methods for the production of sponge biomass and for the sponge-related bioremediation of the marine environment focusing on microorganisms and contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, and others). Moreover, a first overview about integrated aquaculture combining biomass increase and bioremediation, as a challenging perspective for marine biotechnologies, is included.

Aquaculture activities that have been carried out intensively for several decades have made this sector grow rapidly compared to other food sectors. However, intensive activities have negative impacts, one of which is on the environment. To respond to these problems, aquaculture activities have now focused on environmentally friendly aquaculture by implementing various ecosystem-based cultivation systems and improving aquaculture management based on the principle of sustainable aquaculture. The IMTA (Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture) system is a cultivation system that uses species with different trophic levels to reuse wasted nutrients to be used as biomass. Currently, the IMTA system has begun to be developed in various countries in fresh, brackish, and marine water cultivation with multiple approaches according to environmental, social, and economic conditions. This review study discusses different IMTA systems and their applications.

“…The expansion of aquaculture toward sustainability necessitates technologies that focus on the recycling of matter and energy (Jegatheesan et al, 2011). Numerous technological approaches are in practice, such as microalgal/macroalgal biofiltration, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) (Dalsgaard et al, 2013;Paolacci et al, 2022;Mishra et al, 2023;Nissar et al, 2023). Microalgal biofiltration is important for wastewater remediation by removing carbon, N, and P from the aquaculture system (El-Maghrabi et al, 2022;Mishra et al, 2023).…”

“…RAS, typically used for intensive shrimp and fish production, have the merits of high-density culture without being limited by season and water availability (Dalsgaard et al, 2013;Xiao et al, 2019). IMTA has been most popular in recent decades because it supports the farming of aquatic species belonging to different trophic levels in the same space in such a manner that the waste, by-products, or uneaten feed of one species is reutilized by another crop (as energy, fertilizer, or feed), thereby addressing the main plights of aquaculture pollution, feed inputs, and paucity of space (Omont et al, 2020;Nissar et al, 2023). For example, the co-culture of Gracilaria lemaneiformis and Chlamys farreri can remove 83.75% of ammonium and 70.4% of phosphorus (Mao et al, 2009).…”

Phosphorus (P) accumulation in aquaculture systems is damaging our environment beyond acceptable levels. Devising strategies to potentially recover P from aquaculture systems in a reusable bioresource form is paramount and aligns with circular economy policies. In this study, we constructed two culture models, monoculture (Mon) and tandem culture (Tan), using Exopalaemon carinicauda and Mercenaria mercenaria. By monitoring the performance of rearing organisms, P dynamic patterns, and pollutant emissions, we found that: i) Compared to the Mon system, the Tan system demonstrated no differences in the performance of E. carinicauda and M. mercenaria, suggesting that the Tan model was viable in terms of fishery yield; ii) P in the Tan system could be efficiently recovered and removed from water and sediment, as indicated by the lower phosphate concentration in water (0.01 mg L−1), and the decrease in labile P in surface sediment (from 0.04 to 0.02 mg L−1). A combination of assimilatory and dissimilatory processes, mediated by phototrophic (bait-microalgae) and heterotrophic organisms (bivalves), appeared to be the primary mechanism for P utilization and removal; iii) The Tan system reduced pollutant emissions four times lower than the Mon system due to its minimal tailwater discharge (10%, 230 L). The emissions of total P, phosphate, total organic carbon, ammonium, and chemical oxygen demand from the Tan systems were 19 mg m−2 d−1, 2 mg m−2 d−1, 2 g m−2 d−1, 38 mg m−2 d−1, and 11 g m−2 d−1, respectively, 1.3, 1.7, 1.4, 1.3, and 1.2 times lower than those from the Mon systems. The eco-friendly Tan culture model fully exploited the resources of pond culture, a solution with environmental and health co-benefits for P recovery and emission reduction.
