Abstract
Apparatus for the farming of the vast ocean areas by transferring, in mass and into select areas, the nutrient rich abyssal waters throughout the photic zone where penetration of sunlight supports the life processes whereby sea life flourishes and provides a high yield for fishery harvesting. Apparatus is provided for the subtle and continued imparting of vertical momentum to abyssal waters which flood into the photic zone as nutrient rich replacement waters. The replacement nutrient rich water feeds the food chain which produces the protein that can be developed by propagation as circumstances require.
Claims9
A floating apparatus for establishing a nutrient strengthened photic zone in a surrounding area of the ocean and including;
- a vessel adapted to float at the ocean surface, a member depending from the vessel and its lower end extending into the underlying nutrient rich waters, lift means comprised of a hydraulic pump immersed in and with an inlet to receive the supplement surface waters and a jet supplied with said supplement surface waters and carried by the lower end of the member with an outlet immersed in and disposed to discharge upwardly imparting vertical momentum to the underlying nutrient rich waters and thereby transferring the same into the overlying photic zone waters to enrich the latter with the former.
A floating apparatus for establishing a nutrient strengthened photic zone in a surrounding area of the ocean and including;
- a vessel adapted to float at the ocean surface, a wave activated pump means carried by said vessel, a tubular member depending from the vessel and its lower end extending into the underlying nutrient rich waters, lift means supplied by supplement surface water forced through said tubular member by said pump means and carried by the lower end of the member and immersed in and imparting vertical momentum to the underlying nutrient rich waters and thereby transferring the same into the overlying photic zone waters to enrich the latter with the former.
