Marine food production system using submerged platform - has depth of platform arranged so that nutrients are supplied at controlled rate and employs solar energy (NO 23.10.78)

摘要

The platform is maintained at a fixed or controlled variable distance below the surface of waters which do not naturally have a substrate suitable for production of marine food; e.g. beyond the continental shelf. Nutrients (e.g. waste biological products) are supplied to the platform, preferably at a controlled rate. The depth of the platform is such that solar energy or other illumination causes the nutrients to reinforce the natural ecosystem, thereby increasing the production of fish which may be harvested as human food.
