Announced 2 days ago, Nofima (Norwegian Aquaculture research institute) launches EU-wide 4 year, $9million research into low-tropic(mussels, seaweeds, urchins, etc) and Integrated Multi-Tropic (combine fin-fish with all of the above in one tank).
Reasons being...low-tropic foods have great food value and require less energy intensive farming techniques...Integrated Multi-Tropic is the "holy grail", you basically create a tank-environment where the low-tropic flora and fauna sustain the fin-fish.

This sounds as though it is a validation of the "Green Wave" model for off-shore aquaculture, the main difference being that if it is land-based, then the energy inputs and the artificial controls needed will be much higher and more expensive than an open-water alternative. Still, it is a recognition that the whole spectrum of possible aquaculture scenarios and the more "economical," the better.
