• An Algae Production Unit connected to the wind satellite unit at a single point.
• An automatic feeding system (64 t in two silos with two different feeds and a
distribution system located on the “vertical columns” of the triangle).
• An automatic feeding system for algae production (50 t CO 2 storage + nutrients).
• PV panels are installed on the top of the module for an additive 0.5 MW per
satellite
12.3.4 Aquaculture Production Flow
Based on a theoretical production analysis the total aquaculture yield in the Green
& Blue scenario in the Mediterranean is estimated to be 7,000 t of fish in a biannual
production cycle and 2,000 t of algae in continuous production.
12.3.4.1 Finfish Aquaculture
The fish production plan developed for this Green & Blue scenario involves the
rearing of three different species in a two-year rearing cycles. Taking advantage of
the different natural spawning period of the selected species and in order to avoid an
