Abstract: A bioreactor production system for growing commercial volumes of algae or other biomass in a uniquely configured, enclosed, biosecure, photo-type reactor vessel, having internal artificial growth light production as well as exterior solar energy capturing devices or the like designed to facilitate enhanced sunlight exposure for photosynthesis organism production. A unique electromagnetic field generation system is integrated with the bioreactor and its operation to substantially enhance growth rate and overall productivity.

Abstract: An oyster and other molluscan cleansing system suitable for purifying, or promoting the growout of, for example, oysters, clams, mussels, or the like. The preferred embodiment of the present invention teaches a system wherein there is provided a central platform/support structure from which uniformly emanates a plurality of stacked rack-support structures, that in turn have therein generally horizontally-situated, vertically-stacked tiers of molluscan support racks. The present invention as implemented teaches a system particularly suitable for use in open water, as the structure is configured to be implemented in a variety of underwater environments, including salt, brackish, and fresh water, as desired, depending upon the species utilized therewith.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention teaches an open water mariculture facility wherein there is provided a central platform/support structure from which uniformly emanates a plurality of elongated, generally cylindrically configured, ballastable cage structures for containing and maintaining a marine species. The present system contemplates ballastable cages, which can be raised for maintenance operations. In one maintenance operation, the cages are partially exposed out of the water for the maintenance of the cage walls; the system further provides a rolling system for turning the cages on demand, for out of the water maintenance of all portions of the cage wall, without the necessity of lifting the cages from the water. An alternative system of the present invention contemplates the conversion of abandoned oil platforms for use as the central platform/support structure, providing a central support structure for an array of cages.
