Harvesting amphipods applying the integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) concept in off-shore areas

TLDR
In this paper, the first pilot trial of an amphipod culture within an offshore IMTA facility was carried out between May and September 2014, testing two collector types, two depths, at 5'm and 15'm, and two experimental times.

Integrated multitrophic aquaculture systems – Potential risks for food safety

TL;DR: The present review describes a vast number of substances that can be found in IMTAs, either intentionally administered or resulting from contamination, and subsequently accumulated in species reared afterwards in these systems.

From sessile to vagile: Understanding the importance of epifauna to assess the environmental impacts of coastal defence structures

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of artificial structures on amphipod assemblage and to identify the main factors involved were assessed in five different substrates (seawalls, cubes, acropods, rip-raps and natural rock).
Journal ArticleDOI

Two cases study of fouling colonization patterns in the Mediterranean Sea in the perspective of integrated aquaculture systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the macrofouling assemblages over one year of immersion, in order to single out the fouling species, which play the most remarkable role for the bioremediation of the marine areas affected by aquaculture activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional role of biofouling linked to aquaculture facilities in Mediterranean enclosed locations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the filtration activity of biofouling assemblages colonizing artificial substrata located within a harbor and found that the performance of the communities was affected by the seasonality and the amount of biomass recruiting on the panels, mainly composed of crustaceans, ascidians, polychaetes, seaweeds and several introduced species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aquaculture waste as food for amphipods: the case of Gammarus insensibilis in marsh ponds from southern Spain

TL;DR: The main aim of this study was to determine whether waste products of aquaculture provided an adequate diet for the amphipod in comparison to other traditional diets, such as Artemia nauplii or phytoplankton.

Towards Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture: Lessons from Caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda)

TL;DR: It was found that detritus based mainly on fish faeces and uneaten feed pellets can be considered an adequate feed for adult caprellids, providing a source of both omega-3 (DHA) and omega-6 (LA) fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metals in benthic macrofauna and biogeochemical factors affecting their trophic transfer to wild fish around fish farm cages.

TL;DR: Hg and P were found to increase their concentrations from zoobenthos to wild fish aggregating around fish cages feeding on macrofauna, which can affect the bioaccumulation of metals and elements in macrobenthos.

Culture of juvenile European lobster (Homarus gammarus L.) in submerged cages

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to culture lobster juveniles for reestablishment or enhancement purposes in a way that would involve less investments and operational costs than earlier used methods as there would be no need for artificial heating of water, for large buildings or for continuous feeding and tending of large numbers of juveniles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of mussel aquaculture on the distribution of vagile benthic macrofauna in îles de la Madeleine, eastern Canada

TL;DR: Conclusions from the observations and the manipulative experiment suggest that lobster distribution is a function of both physical structure and feeding opportunities, whereas the distribution of the other species was mainly due to trophic effects.

A preliminary study of the Caprella scaura amphipod culture for potential use in aquaculture

TL;DR: This research demonstrated that the caprellid amphipod C. scaura may be readily cultured at high densities with a variety of mesh morphologies allowing more efficient use of tank volume and improved handling.
