In certain aspects, the systems include a heat source, e.g., data center, having a water cooling subsystem configured to receive cool water and output warm water and an aquaculture center co-located with the heat source, e.g., data center, and configured to receive the warm water. Aspects of the invention also include methods for cooling a heat source, e.g., data center, using a water cooling subsystem and cultivating aquatic organisms with an aquaculture center that is co-located with the heat source, e.g., data center. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: (a) a heat source comprising a water cooling subsystem configured to receive cool water and output warm water; and (b) an aquaculture center co-located with heat source and comprising a water temperature control subsystem configured to receive the output warm water. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the cool water is received from an ocean or sea. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the water cooling subsystem comprises a water intake. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3, wherein the water intake is positioned at a depth of 15 m or more in a water source. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3, wherein the water intake is positioned below the photic zone in a water source. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a water discharge for discharging water from the aquaculture center. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system according to claim 6, wherein the water discharge is positioned at a depth of 15 m or more in a body of water. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system according to claim 7, wherein the body of water is the same body of water from which the water cooling subsystem receives the cool water. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a power plant co-located with the data center and the aquaculture center. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system according to claim 9, wherein the power plant is operably connected to both of the data center and the aquaculture center. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the heat source and aquaculture center are configured to produce fewer carbon emissions as compared to the same heat source and aquaculture center operating independently. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the heat source and aquaculture center are configured to use less energy per amount of heat source cooling and per amount of aquatic life cultivated as compared to the same heat source and aquaculture center operating independently. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the heat source is a data center. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system according to claim 13, wherein the data center has a power usage effectiveness less than 2. ### Claim 15 A method of cooling a heat source, the method comprising: (a) cooling the heat source with a water cooling subsystem comprising a cool water intake and a warm water discharge; and (b) cultivating aquatic organisms with an aquaculture center co-located with the heat source and comprising a water temperature control subsystem comprising a warm water intake for receiving water from the warm water discharge. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method according to claim 15, wherein the heat source comprises a data center. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16, wherein the data center has a power usage effectiveness less than 2. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method according to claim 15, wherein the heat source is present on land. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method according to claim 15, wherein the cool water is received from an ocean or sea. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the heat source is present on land.
