    摘要: The invention relates to systems and methods for regulating algal biomass in offshore waters near an oil and gas production platform. The systems of the invention encompasses a plurality of modules for managing nutrients, algae, and aquaculture, including enclosures for containing aquatic organisms, and various operating subsystems that are operably associated with surface and underwater structures of the platform. In one embodiment of the invention, aquatic organisms are cultured in eutrophic water to feed on algae, thereby reducing the algal biomass. In other embodiments, the diversity of algae in an algal bloom is modified and the productivity of oligotrophic water is increased.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods for mixing of carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or other nutrients in an ocean, wherein surface water CO2 is decreased to reduce or slow acidification of the ocean, and increases in fish populations are advantageously promoted. Also disclosed herein are methods and systems for recovery of nutrients, for example, phosphorus, from an ocean floor in the form of fish biomass, which may be used to make such useful products as fish fillets, fish meal, fish oil, biofuel or fertilizer.
