The ecosystem of integrated aquaculture refers to farming practices that combine the cultivation of different species in a mutually beneficial way. This approach often involves the farming of fish, shellfish, and plants in a single, integrated system, where the waste produced by one species serves as nutrients for another. Common systems include fish-shrimp, fish-vegetable, or fish-seaweed combinations. These ecosystems mimic natural processes, promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of aquaculture. Integrated systems optimize resource use, minimize waste, and help mitigate water pollution. By increasing efficiency, these ecosystems contribute to global food security while promoting environmental stewardship in aquaculture.
