ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for growing seafood in commercially significant quantities on land, comprising a means for and the steps of transporting water from a source of water to a plurality of algal reservoirs, each having a volume equal to or exceeding 21/2 feet .times. 1/8 acre; inoculating the reservoirs with phytoplankton from a source of phytoplankton having a minimum density of 10.sup.1 to 10.sup.3 organisms/liter; adding fertilizer to the water in the reservoir daily for providing a mixture and subjecting the mixture to sunlight for increasing the density of the phytoplankton in the water to a density exceeding 10.sup.5 organisms/liter; transporting a predetermined percentage of the water and phytoplankton continuously, once the reservoirs are in bloom, from the algal reservoirs through trenches containing seafood for which the phytoplankton is a nutrient for growing the seafood; and continuously transporting the water, including the effluent and wastes deposited by the seafood in the trenches, from the trenches to a purging pond containing seaweed for which the wastes and effluent are a nutrient for growing the seaweed and purging the water of the seafood wastes and residual phytoplankton.
