What is IMTA?
Feed is a core operational cost for most finfish aquaculture operations. However, approximately 70% of the nitrogen and 80% of the phosphorus in this costly fish feed is lost to the environment through excretion and faeces. But with the application of newly emerging technologies, some of this unused food, nutrients and energy can be recaptured and converted into crops of commercial value for the producer, while going some way towards mitigating environmental impacts of intensive mono-culture.
