    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: Provided herein are systems and methods for producing biofuel from microalgae that use a population of zooplankton to harvest microalgae in a culture. The methods further comprise gathering the zooplankton, extracting lipids from the zooplankton, and processing the lipids to form biofuel. The systems provided herein comprise at least one enclosure comprising microalgae, means for making the microalgae available to a population of zooplankton, and means for gathering the zooplankton.
