Abstract

The organic waste mitigation of IMTA is more efficient and beneficial in the Integrated aquaculture system. Mandapam Regional Centre of CMFRI has done ample practical demonstrations to prove the economic benefits of IMTA. This is an efficient system that helps in controlling both organic and inorganic pollution in the natural open waters and thereby ensuring ecological balance. It is also an eco-friendly and sustainable option that ensures a steady income for coastal fishers. IMTA could also emerge as one of the significant mitigating measures for the adverse impact of climate change and to earn valuable carbon credit for our country In a broader perspective, IMTA is a venture/leap towards productivity, equitability stability and sustainability in the fisheries sector.
