  • Description:
    Conventional wisdom has suggested that the greatest applied value of deep ocean water is as the cold source for the generation of energy through one or more of the ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) processes. However, three characteristics of deep ocean water--its purity, its coldness, and its nutrient content--make it an ideal medium for the aquaculture of marine organisms. This publication on OTEC aquaculture in Hawaii is a basic summary of the work conducted on projects largely from 1982 through 1984 and occasionally beyond. The feasibility of culturing salmonids under simulated OTEC conditions is evaluated in five related papers: four deal with technical feasibility and the fifth with economic feasibility. The feasibility of culturing seaweed also is evaluated. Two other papers, one each on abalone and lobster ("Homarus americanus") culture, are less detailed because the information is proprietary. A description of the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii and aspects of the water used in these studies are also included. The following papers are included in this publication: 1. Ocean thermal energy conversion and the natural energy laboratory of Hawaii. Thomas Daniel pp. 5-48. 2. Surface and deep water composition at the natural energy laboratory of Hawaii. S. V. Smith and T. W. Walsh pp. 49-69. 3. Growth of nori ("Porphyra tenera") in an experimental ocean thermal energy conversion system at the natural energy laboratory of Hawaii. F. M. Mencher and Steven A. Katase pp. 70-83. 4. Abalone culture at the natural energy laboratory of Hawaii. David K. Barclay and Arlo W. Fast pp. 84-93. 5. American lobster ("Homarus americanus") aquaculture demonstration project at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii. P. W. Chapman, R. J. Guerra, and M. Thays pp. 94-103. 6. Seawater entry evaluation of coho salmon reared at the natural energy laboratory of Hawaii. Lisa Helms, E. Gordon Grau, and Arlo W. Fast pp. 104-113. 7. Growth of coho and chinook salmon in an experimental OTEC system. David K. Barclay, Arlo W. Fast, and Steven A. Katase pp. 114-131. 8. Induced maturation, ovulation, and spawning of rainbow trout, "Salmo gairdneri", in an OTEC seawater system. Steven A. Katase, Arlo W. Fast, and David K. Barclay pp. 132-142. 9. Heavy metal content of coho and chinook salmon reared in simulated OTEC waters. Arlo W. Fast, Frank M. D'ltri, David K. Barclay, et al. pp. 143-155. 10. The economics of OTEC salmon culture in Hawaii. Thomas A. Loudat, Arlo W. Fast, and Gary L. Rogers pp. 156-176.
