As
in the wild,
farmed shellfish (oysters, mussels, abalone) feed on plankton and / or
algae and do not require fish meal
in their diets.
Harmful algal blooms are increasingly appearing due to the exposure of particular
algae to the nitrogen
in synthetic fertilizers, which enters waterways via
farm runoff.
But fish
farms are also notoriously difficult to regulate and prone to accidental release: Asian carp
in the Midwest (introduced to clean
algae from the
farms), Louisiana crayfish
in China and Atlantic salmon
in the southern Pacific have all done substantial environmental damage after escaping from fish
farms.
Kerry further outlined the impacts of pollution from
farm runoff, which causes
algae blooms and dead zones
in the oceans, the massive buildup of plastic waste, and illegal fishing.
And experimental
algae farms are springing up
in San Diego and the deserts of New Mexico.
Concentrations of
algae in our oceans and lakes have long bloomed naturally, but climate change and fertilizer runoff from
farms have exacerbated the situation
in recent years.
In fact, Trent said, the technology is nearly cost - competitive with land - based production methods for algae biofuels that require vast industrial - scale, open - air pond farms or in closed bioreactor

The media speak of
Algae oil, several recent articles
in the media, or grasses that increase existing ethanol yields by up to 250 % (recently reported again
in the UK media), of CCS trials
in Australia, of CCS ready power stations (hillarious to be fair) and of wind and solar
farms portrayed as if they will solve our carbon emissions issues.
Algae Farming and Its Bio-Products, Gal Hochman and David Zilberman, Advances
in Plant Biology: Plants and Bioenergy, Vol.
Now, China produces more of this superfood, but
farms around the world also play the
algae game, including sizeable
farms in Hawaii, China, India, Israel, Chad, Myanmar, and Mexico.
From the results of the Aquatic Species Program,
algae farms would let us supply enough biodiesel to completely replace petroleum as a transportation fuel
in the US (as well as its other main use — home heating oil)-- but we first have to solve a few of the problems they encountered along the way.
Agricultural runoff,
in combination with increased water temperatures, has caused considerable non-point source pollution problems
in recent years, with increased phosphorus and nitrogen loadings from
farms contributing to more frequent and prolonged occurrences of anoxic «dead zones» and harmful, dense
algae growth for long periods.
But when pressed, Lovelock said he does believe there's potential
in «biochar» — that is, converting some of the world's biomass (e.g. forest slash, agricultural residues, fast - growing grasses grown on depleted soils,
farmed algae) into charcoal and sequestering the black mass
in soil or under the ocean.
Hello all, well this all is getting very dire, My vegetable garden is rotting
in the ground, to much rain and scoring heat,, I noticed most of my trees on my 5 acre
farm are browning at the top and the leaves are thinning on all of them and around 10 of them are completely dead... We live here
in the carpet capital of the world and seems to me that most don't see or don't care about the sky or the trees or the air they breathe... Just this week We had to completely drain our grand kids pool and start over, with all this rain it turned green and no amount of
algae killer would clear it up, The PH was insanely high...... It's the small things
in life that make what's left of life on this planet........
We also build large open pond
algae farms and use these to capture carbon and sequester it permanently (see my other post
in the @Fran Barlow Hansen thread).
