Abstract: 

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture involves cultivating fed species with extractive species that  utilize the inorganic and organic wastes from aquaculture for their growth. The mix of organisms of different trophic levels mimics the functioning of natural ecosystems. All the cultivation components have commercial value, as well as key roles in recycling processes and biomitigating services. Some of the externalities of fed monoculture are internalized, increasing the overall sustainability and long-term profitability of aquaculture farms.
