“…These wastes may be better exploited by deposit-feeding organisms such as sea cucumbers (Uthicke 1999, Michio et al 2003, which have exhibited higher yields when co-cultured with salmon (Ahlgren 1998, Paltzat et al 2008). Our results suggested that both salmon feed and faeces are nutritionally adequate for filter and deposit feeding species co-cultured with salmon.…”

The carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) compositions of salmon feed, fish and faeces were studied at a salmon farm in Badstuvika (63°31' N, 9°9' E) in central Norway. These data were used to estimate the release rates of wastes from 2 salmon cages and the qualities of particulate wastes as food resources for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA). About 38% of feed C, 43% of feed N and 24% of feed P were retained as fish biomass. About 62% of feed C, 57% of feed N and 76% of feed P were lost into the environment. Around 40% of feed C was respired as CO 2 , and 39% of feed N and 24% of feed P were excreted as dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively. About 19% of feed C, 15% of feed N and 44% of feed P were released as particles. The chemical composition of feed was independent of time (p > 0.05). The faecal C content increased with increasing fish weight (r 2 = 0.14, p < 0.05); however, other faecal chemical components showed no apparent relationships with fish weight (p > 0.05). Our results suggested that P digestibility of feed may be 30%, but more information is still needed to reach conclusions on this. The C content of faeces was 70% of that of feed and the N content of faeces was 50% of that of feed. The P content was far higher than that of feed. The lipid, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid contents of faeces were comparable to those of some phytoplankton species. The results suggested that both feed and faeces are adequate food for blue mussels and sea cucumbers co-cultured with salmon, and the nutrient content may meet their nutritional requirements.

“…As the demand for sea cucumbers increases and fishery stocks dwindle in many areas of these countries, there is a growing demand to produce sea cucumbers by aquaculture and stock enhancement using juveniles produced in the hatchery. There is also growing interest in co-culturing sea cucumbers alongside other organisms to utilize organic debris and thus mitigate eutrophication within and around the aquaculture facilities 4,22,33,37,46 . To this end, an increasing number of studies have recently been performed to develop techniques for hatchery, aquaculture and stock enhancement of sea cucumbers, especially sandfish, Holothuria scabra, the most valued species of tropical sea cucumbers 3,4,28,37 .…”

Many species of tropical sea cucumbers in many countries in the Pacific and Indian Oceans are being over-exploited for processing into bêche-de-mer (dried form) 5,8,18 . As the demand for sea cucumbers increases and fishery stocks dwindle in many areas of these countries, there is a growing demand to produce sea cucumbers by aquaculture and stock enhancement using juveniles produced in the hatchery. There is also growing interest in co-culturing sea cucumbers alongside other organisms to utilize organic debris and thus mitigate eutrophication within and around the aquaculture facilities 4,22,33,37,46 . To this end, an increasing number of studies have recently been performed to develop techniques for hatchery, aquaculture and stock enhancement of sea cucumbers, especially sandfish, Holothuria scabra, the most valued species of tropical sea cucumbers 3,4,28,37 . The hatchery production of H. scabra seeds has got underway in countries, such as Vietnam, India, New Caledonia and the Philippines 1,11,36 , but the high mortality and slow growth rate of cultured juveniles have been problematic. Despite the various food items used in broodstock maintenance and juvenile production and grow-out of H. scabra, including Spirulina spp, Schizochytrium spp, Navicula spp, homogenized Sargassum spp, ground shrimp feed, shrimp head meal, soya bean powder, rice bran, chicken manure and seagrass powder 1,3,11,36 , juveniles often grow much faster in sea pens or earthen ponds where no artificial feeding is conducted. Information about H. scabra diets is indispensable in improving hatchery, aquaculture and reseeding techniques, as well as monitoring environmental conditions for wild stocks.H. scabra are benthic detritus feeders, which ingest muddy sandy sediment and assimilate the organic matter AbstractTo provide a basis for a stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratio (δ 13 C / δ 15 N) analysis to determine the assimilated organic matter in sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, diet-tissue fractionations were experimentally determined by mono-feeding rearing with diatom.

“…Zhou et al (2006b) showed that Chinese scallop (Chlamys farreri) lantern nets provide a good habitat for A. japonicus and they grew well when in close proximity to these nets [155]. The California sea cucumber (Parastichopus californicus) has demonstrated its ability to consume fouling debris such as detritus from shellfish (e.g., oysters), fish feces, excess fish feed, and algae [4,156,157]. Other species of sea cucumber that have been assessed for their potential role in IMTA systems are the orange-footed sea cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa) and the Australian brown sea cucumber (Australostichopus mollis).…”

Abstract:The demand for seafood products on the global market is rising, particularly in Asia, as affluence and appreciation of the health benefits of seafood increase. This is coupled with a capture fishery that, at best, is set for stagnation and, at worst, significant collapse. Global aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of the food industry and currently accounts for approximately 45.6% of the world's fish consumption. However, the rapid development of extensive and semi-extensive systems, particularly intensive marine-fed aquaculture, has resulted in worldwide concern about the potential environmental, economic, and social impacts of such systems. In recent years, there has been a significant amount of research conducted on the development of sustainable saltwater-based food production systems through mechanical (e.g., recirculatory aquaculture (RAS) systems) methods and ecosystem-based approaches (e.g., integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA)). This review article will examine the potential negative impacts of monocultural saltwater aquaculture operations and review established (RAS) and novel (IMTA; constructed wetlands; saltwater aquaponics) saltwater-based food production systems and discuss their (potential) contribution to the development of sustainable and environmentally-friendly systems.
