From FOO@HQ.UNU.EDUSun Jun 25 22:35:29 1995 Date: Mon, 26 Jun 1995 09:14:00 +0900 From: "E.L.Foo (UNU,Tokyo)" To: Multiple recipients of list ET-ANN Subject: E-seminar: Integrated Open Sea Aquaculture ECOTECH in cooperation with UNU/ZERI is happy to announce a forthcoming electronic Seminar Date: 17-31 July 1995 Title: Integrated open sea aquaculture for increased production and environmental improvement By: Mr. Max Troell, University of Stockholm, Sweden. Cyberspace: UNU.CONF-ROOM.JIZO@CAREN.NET Organized by: Mr. Eng-Leong Foo, The United Nations University, Tokyo ========================================================= ======== ABSTRACT Aquaculture is assuming an increasingly important role in the world's food production but its continued development is now becoming restricted by lack of cheap feeds and suitable environments for the cultivations, as well as the need to reduce pollution that is caused by aquaculture itself. This paper will present an ecologically and environmentally sound approach for the cultivation of seaweeds, mussels and fish in an integrated manner. It will provide data on the comparison of the ecological resource requirements, types of wastes generated and information on environmental impacts of seaweed culturing, long-line mussel rearing, and salmon cage-farming in coastal waters. Several basic ecological engineering principles will be discussed by comparing conventional throughput-based monocultures with an integrated recycling-based culturing system for seaweeds, mussels and salmon. About the Author: ---------------------- Mr. Max Troell is a Ph.D. student at Stockholm University (Dept of Systems Ecology) and is researching on the environmental impacts from aquaculture systems, focusing on fish net-pens. His studies include changes in the sediment under a Tilapia cage farm in Zimbabwe, and integrated cultivation techniques in Chile where filter feeders are used to absorb particulate waste from salmon cages, and seaweeds for absorbing the dissolved nutrients.
