Shellfish gardens promise new sea resource
NOAA funded Lamont-Doherty trials show upwelling-like seawater transport created 12 000 gallon ponds where microscopic plants grew and 250 000 clams and oysters fed. Plants used over 90 percent of nutrients. shellfish over 90 percent of produced food. Temp gradient suggests potential for air conditioning and power, with a new grant of 336000.
