Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in Sanggou Bay, China

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) involves the farming of species from different trophic positions or nutritional levels in the same system. In China, IMTA has been practiced for many decades, with dozens of species farmed in close proximity to each other at the scale of whole coastal bays...
