Design and model testing of offshore acquaculture floating structure for seaweed oceanic plantation.

摘要

Seaweed farming has become one of the natural resources which are economically important. The existing cultivation system for seaweed is not suitable for deployment with most of deep and open water area. Moreover, the current cultivation system are not environmental sustainable and economical unstable. This paper describes the design of the offshore floating structures scientifically based on improvement of the Long Line System for commercializes scale seaweed farming. Some key factors in the design, prototype and testing of floating offshore structures considered in the development of ocean farming technology system are discussed.
