Integrated fish-seaweed cultivation in recirculating aquaculture systems: objectives and preliminary results of "IntegRAS" project

Abstract

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) allow minimizing the water renewal flow rate needed in fish production by increased Nitrogen (NO3 ) and Phosphorous concentrations. Integrating seaweed production to RAS can improve its performances and reduce soluble wastes, contributing to a more sustainable production system
