It has been suggested that cheap electricity generated from tides,waves, or currents could be used to pump nutrient-rich water from thedeep. The water could then be used to grow algae to feed the larvae offarmed fishes and invertebrates. How else could this energy be usedto decrease the costs of aquaculture?
