Abstract
Over the past decade, different researchers and stakeholders have studied paths to improve the productivity and ecological sustainability of marine aquaculture practices. Examining the economic and environmental benefits of raising finfish, shellfish, and marine plants together - a concept known as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture - is one example. This paper intends to focus on the applicability of IMTA and try to understand the concept of IMTA and its relevance.
