There is provided a method of aquaculture of at least one farmed organism, the method comprising steps: (i) providing an aquatic environment comprising at least one farmed organism, phytoplankton and bac­ teria; (ii) providing at least one phytoplankton nutrient and at least one bacteria nutrient during a first predetermined period, allow - ing phytoplankton and bacteria to grow in a first predetermined phytoplankton: bacteria ratio of more than 1; (iii) providing at least one phytoplankton nutrient and at least one bacteria nutrient during a second predetermined period, allowing phytoplankton and bac­ teria grow in second predetermined phytoplankton :bacteria to a ratio, wherein the second predetermined phytoplankton: bacteria ra­ tio is lower than the first predetermined phytoplankton :bacteria ratio; and (iv) providing at least one phytoplankton nutrient and at least one bacteria nutrient during a third predetermined period, allowing phytoplankton and bacteria to grow in a third predetermined phytoplankton :bacteria ratio, wherein the third predetermined phytoplankton: bacteria ratio is lower than the second predetermined phytoplankton :bacteria ratio, thereby allowing the at least one farmed organism to grow.
