Welcome to the Open Ocean Aquaculture Video Gallery. From designing a mooring platform that will endure 9 meter waves in the Gulf of Maine to the harvest of mussels and finfish, we invite you to experience the challenge and promise of open ocean aquaculture through these videos. |

SHELLFISH VIDEOS
Mussel Lines
Divers inspect the mussel longlines at the Open Ocean Aquaculture site.
Mussel Harvest
Learn how the mussels are harvested from the growout lines.
FINFISH VIDEOS
Cod's Eye View
Follow our divers as they track the movements of cod and haddock in their underwater cages, 40 feet below the surface.
Halibut Harvest
The OOA crew harvests halibut from offshore cages.
Juvenile Cod Transfer
Researchers move thousands of cod from coastal nursery pens to a newly-assembled offshore fish cage.
Haddock Transfer
Haddock are transferred from the UNH Coastal Marine Laboratory to one of two submersible fish cages.
Halibut Transfer
Halibut are transferred from the UNH Coastal Marine Lab to an offshore cage. (Audio narration included.)
Flounder Culture
Juvenile summer flounder swim and feed in an offshore fish cage. Some of the fish are tagged for an osmoregulatory stress experiment.
Cod and Halibut
Juvenile cod and halibut are kept in tanks at the UNH Coastal Lab until they can be transferred to one of the two Open Ocean cages.
ENGINEERING VIDEOS
Computer Model
This animation demonstrates the mooring system, cages, and feeders response to 100 cm/sec currents and 9 meter waves.
Offshore Assembly of New Submersible Fish Cage
Follow the transport and assembly of a new cage at the Open Ocean
Aquaculture site.
Wave Cage Test
A physical model experiment of the Ocean Spar fish cage in random waves conducted in the UNH tow/wave basin. Motion response of the cage and mooring line tension was measured and compared with numerical model and field test results.
Seastation Computer Model
A numerical model simulation of the Ocean Spar Seastation in currents. Results of this test and a physical model were compared with an open ocean field tow.
