Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] farming fish



Environmental concern alert!!! - Those ecological tyrants!

Submarines could also be used to wage war against pirates, although I'm not sure if that would be classed as 'terrorism'. I would personally regard it as a step down from standad evil: I might have to form my own axis of 'sub-evil'

Apologies for the bad jokes.

Peter, There's a guy here, out of Santa Barbara - http://www.sbmariculture.com <http://www.sbmariculture.com/> who is farming shell fish such as oysters, mussels, clams and scallops. I'm not sure you would need a submarine to do this but heck - why not ! The waters off Santa Barbara are so calm it's ridiculous, The Channel Islands protect the area from 90% of the storms. The only time it gets really bad is when storms create themselves right in the area. Farming the ocean is something where a lot of opportunity exists. With the problems of over fishing, fish farming could relieve the pressure of the growing consumption of seafood -- unless of course you're a vegan ( they can't eat anything that has a face) do mullusks have faces? I don't know, I know rock cod kind of look at you funny ! Anyway, farming the ocean is not with out it's problems. Here is an artical about tuna farming down in Ensenda, Mexico. http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040927/pf/431502a_pf.html Brian Cox Greetings from the bees

    Pilots of Deep Flight Aviator have made a point not to go inverted
    with their current oil over acid battery setup.
About farming the sea: years ago it did cross my mind. I was not
    considering large scale seaweed or salmon, but smaller high value
    ideas - abalone maybe. That would be ranching the sea instead of
    farming it I guess. I never got past the "scribble on a cocktail
    napkin" stage. And you?

        I don't think he is using gel batteries presently but he
        could.  With gel batteries one could invert the sub.  With the
        solid state electronics I would think you could cover it with
        a thick mineral oil as long as the oil did not break down any
        of the plastic components.

I thought Deep Flight was "acrobatic" and could invert. If the batteries are oil immersed, they can't invert, can
            they?

                Hi Brian,
Some times distilled, ultra pure, water is used as an
                insulator. Oil works, Deep Flight Aviator uses flooded
                lead acid batteries with oil floating on top. But it
                can be messy.
