China explores solar ponds shaded by panels to farm sea cucumbers, generate power
SMRTR summary
Chinese researchers are exploring aquavoltaics, combining solar power generation with sea cucumber farming. The study found that solar panels over ponds reduced light intensity by 80.5% and water temperature by 1.20°C, creating better conditions for sea cucumbers and potentially increasing yields from 750kg/hm² to 900kg/hm² while shortening hibernation periods.
