• Open-water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: environmental biomitigation and economic diversification of fed aquaculture by extractive aquaculture (2012, background): “Ridler et al. (2007) demonstrated that IMTA results in a higher net present value (NPV) over 10 years compared with salmon monoculture.”
• Salmon aquaculture and coastal ecosystem health in Chile: Analysis of regulations, environmental impacts and bioremediation systems (2009, background): “risks, as well as present a better environmental perception to the general public as compared to salmon monoculture [ 63 ].”
• Weight ratios of the kelps, Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima, required to sequester dissolved inorganic nutrients and supply oxygen for Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, in Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture systems (2013, background): “The aim of IMTA is to improve sustainability of fish culture, through nutrient sequestration (Reid et al., 2009), product diversification (Ridler et al., 2007), improved use of coastal ‘real estate’ (Barrington et al., 2009; Robinson et al., 2011) and there has also been some evidence of pathogen…”
• Open water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: constraints on the effectiveness of mussels as an organic extractive component (2013, background): “Indications of consumer preference for IMTA products have come from public attitudinal studies in which the waste extraction benefits of IMTA were described in basic terms (Ridler et al. 2006, 2007, Barrington et al. 2010).”
• The decline of mussel aquaculture in the European Union: causes, economic impacts and opportunities (2020, background): “For example, seaweed and salmon or mussel farms together can co-exist in a mutually advantageous way (Ridler et al. 2007).”
• The economics of Integrated Multi‐Trophic Aquaculture: where are we now and where do we need to go? (2020, background): “More recently, Carras et al. (2019) updated and extended Ridler et al. (2007).”
• Cost-effective IMTA: a comparison of the production efficiencies of mussels and seaweed (2014, background): “Furthermore, the current net values for both seaweeds and mussels were higher from IMTA than monoculture when investing in aquaculture (Barrington et al. 2009; Ridler et al. 2007).”
• The status of kelp exploitation and marine agronomy, with emphasis on macrocystis pyrifera, in chile (2014, background): “However, this result is still under discussion, as suggested by Astorga, Hernández, Valenzuela, Avaria-Llautureo, and Westermeier (2012) who used nuclear markers (ITS-2) and representatives of Macrocystis from Canada, USA, South Africa, Australia and Chile.”
