2. Artificial seawater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Seawater

   Artificial seawater (abbreviated ASW) is a mixture of dissolved mineral salts (and sometimes vitamins) that simulates seawater. Artificial seawater is primarily used in marine biology and in marine and reef aquaria , and allows the easy preparation of media appropriate for marine organisms (including algae , bacteria , plants and animals ).

3. Offshore aquaculture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_aquaculture

   Offshore aquaculture, also known as open water aquaculture or open ocean aquaculture, is an emerging approach to mariculture (seawater aquafarming) where fish farms are positioned in deeper and less sheltered waters some distance away from the coast, where the cultivated fish stocks are exposed to more naturalistic living conditions with ...

4. Osmotic power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_power

   Osmotic power, salinity gradient power or blue energy is the energy available from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water. Two practical methods for this are reverse electrodialysis (RED) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). Both processes rely on osmosis with membranes. The key waste product is brackish water ...

5. Color of water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_water

   Conversely, in Russian and some other languages, there is no single word for blue, but somewhat different words for light blue (голубой, goluboy) and dark blue (синий, siniy). Other color names assigned to bodies of water are sea green and ultramarine blue. Unusual oceanic colorings have given rise to the terms red tide and black tide.

6. Marine sediment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_sediment

   Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor.These particles either have their origins in soil and rocks and have been transported from the land to the sea, mainly by rivers but also by dust carried by wind and by the flow of glaciers into the sea, or they are biogenic deposits from marine organisms or from ...

7. Oceanic freshwater flux - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_freshwater_flux

   Durand et altr. simulated a "hosing experiment" with seasonally variable input in the Bay of Bengal, that showed sea level oscillation to the order of 0.1 m [22] Further, since the freshwater from the river runoff has a lower density than the seawater, the term ρ ′ {\textstyle \rho '} is negative across the first water layer, which results ...
