Abstract: A multi-wavelength laser diode based optical sensor system capable of monitoring the dynamics and physiological changes of a microorganism culture in real-time. The microorganism culture from a microorganism production chamber is pumped to a flow chamber. Laser diodes emit light at certain wavelengths through the flow chamber, which is sensed by photodiodes. A laser control circuitry is operatively connected to the laser diodes and a signal conditioning circuitry is operatively connected to the photodiodes. A microprocessor reads and records voltage signals corresponding to the wavelengths. A data acquisition system converts said voltage signals into measurements of biological parameters, which are displayed on a graphical user interface and allow a user to monitor the measurements in real time.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for aquaculture. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of cultivation areas, a collection area, a pump for returning the culture from the collection areas to at least one of the cultivation areas and a delivery system for providing gases and/or nutrients to the culture. Also disclosed is a method for regulating water temperature of an aquaculture including circulating a culture through a system described herein, and storing the culture in the collection area or at least one of the cultivation areas for at least a portion of a 24 hour period.
