Integrated Marine Aquaculture-Agriculture: Sea Farming Out Of The Sea

摘要

Recent studies at the Universitv of Tuscan in Italy unveiled the potential for integrating aquacultui-e with saline agriculture, whose economic and environmental benefits could overcome the higher initial investment costs tor land operations. Aquaponic systems are robust, management is not difficult, and the synergies between fish and plants make vegetable production more profitable than aquaculture alone. The lion's share of marine agriculture involves salt-tolerant halophvtic plants used as food orfeed, or in energy production.
