We're gearing up for another trial in our cascade Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system!

IMTA is a modern approach to polyculture meaning instead of growing just one species in a system, you grow multiple together in the same system, reducing water requirements and nutrient discharge. The system relies on organisms across various levels of the food chain including those that get their energy from the sun (algae), those that eat other animals (White Seabass), and those that remove waste (Warty sea cucumbers). This system uses gravity to flow water from White Seabass to Warty sea cucumbers, and finally to seaweed (ulva and dulse).

Stay tuned for updates as the trial progresses and as we take you through the important role each organism plays in the system.
