Technical nature and notability concerns[edit]

Like the other user, I too feel that when explain the crux of IMTA, some tech speak is unavoidable. This is true for all science and technology based articles on Wikipedia. There is no way to explain a lot of the concepts without going into technicalities and not losing the gist of the idea.

Notability: Again as mentioned, the article covers IMTA in various countries. That by itself would take care of the notability aspect. Apropos of the 3rd party non-academic publishing: there have been several articles. Some are here:

Feedback requested[edit]

I am not sure I agree that the article is too technical and I certainly disagree that the article is not notable. Unfortunately, when we talk about trophic levels and nutrient cycling some 'technical speak' is unavoidable. From the notable perspective, I would think since there are many official IMTA projects and likely hundreds of incidental IMTA sites around the world, it's worth reporting. At least two other sites that I am aware of have 'linked to' this article, which I don't think would have occurred if the topic were insignificant. This article can not be improved or changed for the better it only changes back to before i edited it and I'm very disappointed in Wikipedia inst the point to be able to edit and then proof read this article for the better

What do others think?

Information[edit]

Author list for the original article[edit]

The initial posting of this article was a collaborative venture by several IMTA researchers around the world. Contributors included: Reid GK, Chopin T, Robinson S, Neori A, Buschmann AH, Shpigel M, Rodger A, and Bolton J

Note: See the References section of this article to get an idea about who these guys are. (Those are last names and first initials.) WAS 4.250 15:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"Gregor Reid, a jointly appointed Post Doctoral Fellow with the University of New Brunswick and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, wrote an article on IMTA for the website, with the help of several contributors (Thierry Chopin, Shawn Robinson, Amir Neori, Alejandro Buschmann, Muki Shpigel, Andrew Rodger and John Bolton)" says Fish Farmer Magazine.

Section in the main Aquaculture article[edit]

While the entire aquaculture article section needs an overhaul, I suggest that IMTA be mentioned in the "Environmentally Friendly Methods" section (not my choice of terminology) and then revert to here. Porphyra 13:24, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree: We have separate articles on various types of terrestrial farming, as well as seperate articles on various types of hydroculture including - but not limited to: Passive hydroponics, aeroponics, historical hydroculture and deep-water culture.

Major changes[edit]

I went at the article pretty hard. My intent was not to change the content, but to make it more accessible. I think there is less jargon, but no less content. I'm happy to fix any errors that I created.I embedded several questions as comments in the text. Please help with answers. One question about the subject and the article. I (possibly incorrectly) understand aquaponics as working only with extractor animals at the highest trophic level, whic is similar but not the same. What's the real story behind the separate treatment? Lfstevens (talk) 08:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bluehouse farms[edit]

At Aquaculture#Integrated, the combination of aquaculture-greenhouses have not been noted. Allready is ie Tilapia fish grown together with tomatoes (bad tomatoes, ... provide food to fish, nutrified water is reused for tomatoes). They are called "bluehouse farms" and are frequently used ie in the Netherlands. refs http://ag.arizona.edu/azaqua/ista/ISTA8/Chappell.pdf , http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/aquaponic.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.223.239 (talk) 07:27, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History and selected projects[edit]

Perhaps that carp and rice farming can be added to the history section, perhaps along with Rice-Duck farming (see http://theazollafoundation.org/features/rice-duck-azolla-loach-cultivation/ )

also, perhaps Stephen Cross' black cod/shellfish/sugar kelp combo can also be mentioned
