Daphnia magna as biological harvesters for green microalgae grown on recirculated aquaculture system effluents
The sustainability of recycling aquaculture systems (RAS) is challenged by nutrient discharges, which cause water eutrophication. Efficient treatments for RAS effluents are needed to mitigate its environmental impacts. Microalgae assimilate nutrients...

A step towards sustainable aquaculture: Multiobjective feed formulation reduces environmental impacts at feed and farm levels for rainbow trout
Aquaculture is growing to meet the increasing demand for aquaculture products but is not free of environmental impacts. One solution is to improve how feed are formulated, limiting the environmental impact of fish production. Multiobjective (MO)...
