Resolute Marine Energy, Inc. of Watertown, Mass. has an ocean energy harvesting system, which makes use of a buoy undulating on the ocean’s surface to create a pumping action with an arm to a platform below.
Ocean Farm Technologies, Inc. of Searsmont, Maine, has developed a 64-foot, 3,600-cubic-meter cage made of polyethylene and wire mesh to grow fish deep in the ocean.
As finfish aquaculture moves into deeper ocean sites, it will need sustained, autonomous sources of power. AquaPod net pens are designed to be moored at a stationary, licensed site at a depth near 100 feet. The power system creates compressed air that could power auto-feed systems, lower the cage, or in the future, power propellers to move the cage from place to place.
