ABSTRACT:
A method of increasing seafood production in the oceans comprises (1) testing the water at the surface of the ocean in order to determine the nutrients that are missing, (2) applying to the ocean water a fertilizer that comprises a microorganism that fixes nitrogen and sufficient nutrients to cause the microorganism to fix nitrogen (if the ocean water is missing nitrates), and the other missing nutrients, and (3) harvesting the increased production of seafood that results from the fertilization.
