Systems and methods for cultivating and harvesting blue water bioalgae and aquaculture

摘要

Methods and systems for utilizing deep ocean water in the cultivation and harvesting of nutrients and CO₂ for algae and other valuable aquaculture species for the production of algal biomass and the like. The systems of the present invention include a floating deep water harvesting barge, a containment device, and a storage or pumping device. The containment device may be a closed system, an open system, or a photo-bioreactor. The present invention is also directed to improved methods for drying algae biomass and further downstream applications and uses of the algae biomass.
