and if you want to extrapolate and get a life support system, you could use cyanobacteria to clean the water. Their photosynthesis is what caused the great oxidation event!
It's like integrated multi-trophic aquaculture and aquaponics had a child 😃Seem like a nice basis for a sci-fi!
I would replace pigs with ruminants (cows, sheep...) if you want methane. They are quite renown for their 💨ing abilities
Where can I find the game? Is this available only in danish?
#PhycologyFriday sidequest!
I was used to seeing sponges and anemones like this while diving. This time, a really low tide provided a front-row view, no wetsuit or mask needed!🪸🤿
