Aquaculture Climate - Change

"Look at the dissolved oxygen, Elias," Sarah said, her voice tight. "The upwelling event last week brought hypoxic water up from the deep. Before the storm hit, we were already at 4 mg/L. If the storm churns the water and blocks the sun for three days, the algae in the water won’t photosynthesize. The fish will suffocate."

"Fill them with seawater from the deep intake," Elias said, ignoring the protocol. "It's colder. It's below the bloom layer. We pump the best fish into the tanks on the deck. We lose the bulk of the stock in the cages, but we save the genetics. We save the next generation." aquaculture climate change
