Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of culturing a floating aquatic species, the method including introducing the aquatic species into a receptacle having (a) a culture medium, (b) at least one raceway configured to allow the culture medium to flow in a continuous loop, and (c) a sufficient quantity of the culture medium to flow in the continuous loop; cultivating the aquatic species to generate a floating mat on a top surface of the culture medium; generating a fluid current of sufficient force to propel the floating mat on the top surface of the culture medium; and varying a velocity of the fluid current in a controlled manner to maintain a relatively uniform distribution of the floating mat on the top surface of the culture medium.
