Abstract:
1. A system related to farming at least one seafood source comprising: a) at least one seafood-farming-environment apparatus structured and arranged with a single horizontal elongated tube structured and arranged to comprise at least one hollow interior to farm at least one seafood source in at least one horizontal raceway that is in a completely buried space; without the aid of an enclosure of an above ground facility b) wherein at least one seafood-farming-environment apparatus comprises i) at least one nutrient supplier structured and arranged to supply adequate nutrients to at least one aqueous medium supporting farming of at least one seafood source, and ii) at least one waste remover structured and arranged to remove unwanted waste from at least one aqueous medium; wherein at least one seafood-farming-environment apparatus is structured and arranged such that, when completely buried at a minimum of two feet from the top of the horizontal raceway to the surface, the below-ground burial provides assistance in temperature control of at least one completely buried seafood farming environment; wherein at least one aerator structured and arranged to aerate at least one aqueous medium; medium wherein the at least one waste remover comprising at least one solid-waste filter structured and arranged to filter solid-waste materials from at least one aqueous medium; at least one chemical controller structured and arranged to maintain, within at least one aqueous medium, a safe level of deleterious chemical contaminants compatible with the farming of at least one seafood source; wherein: a) at least one completely buried seafood-farming-environment apparatus is structured and arranged such that, when completely buried, the below-ground burial provides assistance in limiting photo illumination within least one enclosed horizontal raceway; b) such limiting of photo illumination assists in inhibiting the growth of deleterious photosynthetic microorganisms within at least one enclosed horizontal raceway of at least one completely buried seafood farming environment; wherein at least one completely buried seafood-farming-environment apparatus further comprises at least one completely buried liquid circulation network structured and arranged to circulate at least one aqueous medium sequentially between at least one enclosed horizontal raceway, at least one completely buried solid waste filter, and at least one completely buried chemical controller; wherein the system further comprises: a) at least one accessway structured and arranged to provide access to at least one hollow interior from at least one aboveground environment; b) wherein at least one accessway comprises at least one above-ground access opening structured and arranged to provide access to at least one hollow interior; and c) at least one air-exchanging passage structured and arranged to provide at least one exchange of air between at least one aboveground environment and at least one hollow interior; d) wherein at least one exchange of air between at least one aboveground environment and at least one hollow interior provides fluid communication between the air and at least one aqueous medium.
