Species that consume plant material, including excess seaweed growth, which helps maintain a balanced ecosystem within the IMTA.

Equipment and protocols put in place for regular assessment of water quality, species health, and nutrient levels, ensuring the sustainability of the IMTA system.

Infrastructure designed for the collection, treatment, and conversion of aquaculture waste into usable products, such as fertilizers or animal feed ingredients.

Closed systems that filter and reuse water, conserving water and energy, while minimizing environmental impacts.

Primary cultured species providing economic revenue; their waste nutrients are utilized by other species within the IMTA system.

Components such as certain bacteria that transform ammonia from waste into nitrite and then to nitrate, often through a process called nitrification, enhancing water quality.

Filter feeders that remove particulate waste and contribute to water clarity; they help in nutrient recycling by utilizing the waste from finfish.

Species that can feed on both plant and animal matter, thus they provide flexibility to the IMTA system by balancing trophic levels.

Organisms that feed on dead organic materials and fecal matter, reducing the accumulation of organic matter and recycling nutrients.

Benthic organisms that consume settled organic matter and remineralize waste; improves sediment quality and maintains benthic biodiversity.

Photosynthetic organisms that absorb dissolved nutrients for growth; they play a crucial role in nutrient recycling and water purification.

Devices that capture organic matter falling to the ocean floor, reducing sedimentation and helping in waste management.

Organisms that filter small particles out of the water column, improving water quality by reducing turbidity and utilizing suspended organics.

Utilization of byproducts, such as methane from anaerobic digestion of waste, to produce renewable energy for the aquaculture operations.
