Abstract
The SIMTAP project is currently carried out in the framework of the PRIMA program and funded by national funding bodies in Italy, France, Turkey, and Malta. The project started in June 2019 and will end on May 2023. The goal of the project is designing, developing, and testing a water- recirculating multitrophic aquaponic system for sustainable production of marine fish and salt- tolerant crops. The system self-produces the ingredients of fish feed (detritivore and filter- feeder organisms, DFFO), thus reducing pressure on wild fish stocks and environment. To increase the production of DFFO for fish, they are fed micro-algae grown in photobioreactors with greenhouse wastewater.
