Description The growth of aquaculture at the global level involves
an increase in area under cultivation, a higher density
of aquaculture installations and species cultured,
with greater use of formulated feed resources. When
unregulated and badly managed, aquaculture
creates negative impacts on the environment. This
necessitates engineering new aquaculture systems
that offer increased environmental sustainability,
economic stability, lower production costs, multiple
species culture options, societal acceptability and
risk reduction while ensuring improved outputs. The
EAA (Ecosystem Approach for Aquaculture) promotes
the efficient use of nutrient resources, as well as
the opportunity of diverse products and benefits
while reducing impacts, and therefore integrated
aquaculture becomes a very important practical way to
implement EAA (FAO, 2008). Beneficial environmental
effects to bio mitigate waste production and to utilise
resources effectively by farming multiple species will
increase the resilience of the operation with reduced
risks.
