SOLAR OYSTERS PRODUCTION SYSTEM (SOPS)
advantages of sops
Higher Yield
SOPS is capable of high-density, sustainable production on a small, vertical footprint lending itself to a higher oyster yield per acre. SOPS can be used to grow both single seed and spat-on-shell oysters for consumption and restoration markets, respectively. SOPS provides more oysters to market or reef with demonstrated higher survival than traditional growing methods. solar-powered
Solar panels provide sufficient power for ladder rotation and other ancillary systems including a fully integrated spray wash system, navigation lighting, platform surveillance, oxygenation, water quality monitoring, etc. automation
Rotating ladders cycle oysters through the water column for even exposure to water quality parameters including salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and phytoplankton (food). Out-of-water positions introduce oysters and cages to ultraviolet light for desiccation of biofouling organisms, keeping cages cleaner for longer periods of time. Rotation also tumbles oysters within their cages, chipping off excess shell for a smooth edge. Rotation sequences can be customized to meet the needs of the grower. quality oyster product
Oysters produced exhibit a higher meat-to-shell ratio and a more uniform shape due to frequent tumbling. simplified maintenance
The SOPS layout and ladder rotation allows for ease of access to oysters when performing harvesting, monitoring and sampling, biofouling control, and system maintenance. This reduces the manual labor typically involved in traditional oyster farming. Minimal Visual IMPACT
SOPS operates further from shore, resulting in less viewshed impact. industry advancement
SOPS helps advance a growing marine aquaculture industry and aids in economic growth. Access to deeper, offshore locations utilizes unused lease sites in an industry dominated by nearshore farming. ecosystem enhancement
Oysters filter ambient water as they grow on SOPS, reducing pollutants and facilitating nutrient cycling while improving overall water quality. Improved water quality lends potential for generating nutrient credits for sale. |
