Proceedings of the JIRCAS-SEAFDEC/AQD Joint Workshop on IMTA research held at SEAFDEC/AQD, Tigbauan Main Station, Iloilo, Philippines on 6-8 August 2019 Altamirano, Jon; Nambu, Ryogen; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Kodama, Masashi This proceeding is a compilation of the 10-year achievements in IMTA research conducted by JIRCAS and SEAFDEC/AQD researchers and their collaborators, covering topics such as ecological characterization of target species, evaluation of environmental impacts, and socio-economic analysis.

The study aimed to explore the feasibility of an economically profitable IMTA system where milkfish are grown with sandfish and seaweeds.

Altamirano, Jon; Nambu, Ryogen; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Kodama, Masashi This study showed the need to develop the livelihood assets of rural communities to enable them to engage in aquaculture-based income generating activities. The SLA evaluation showed that the benefits in terms of its contribution to livelihood asset build-up is generally positive. While human, social and environmental capacities were improved, the financial and physical assets were dissipated and insufficient for many stakeholders with keen interest to participate in the communal project. Therefore, the recommendation is to organize more and bigger collaborative projects, such as this IMTA of milkfish, with emphasis on sustainable livelihood asset development to create significant economic impact to target beneficiaries.

Altamirano, Jon; Nambu, Ryogen; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Kodama, Masashi In this study, locally available marine species were tested, milkfish (Chanos chanos) as the fed species, seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) as inorganic-extractive species for the water column, and sandfish (Holothuria scabra) as organic-extractive species on the sediments. This study aims to verify and improve IMTA systems suitable for farm conditions in coastal areas in the Philippines, with emphasis on mitigating the environmental impacts of mariculture of milkfish.
