Sustainable Seaculture Technologies

Our approach

SST scientists are specifically trained in the culture of microalgae, seaweeds, shellfish and finfish in tank systems that can be plumbed to receive source waters of degraded quality. SST culture systems can extract various constituents from source waters:

• Inorganic and organic nitrogen
• heavy metals
• carbon dioxide
• pesticides

SST systems can be used in a variety of commercial settings:

• bioflitration of agricultural wastewater
• pre-filtration of desal source waters
• nutrient reduction in eutrophied coastal waters (lagoons, sloughs, rivers, estuaries)
• biofiltration in integrated aquaculture systems
