Such fish farms are also operating in Romania. There are also some farms in Greece where
geothermal water is used at a temperature of 51 °C and a flow of 10 kg/sec to heat the water
to 33-36 ˚C for spirulina algae cultivation. Other species raised on geothermal water-heated
farms include carp, catfish, frogs, mullet, eel, salmon, sturgeon, shrimp, lobster, crayfish, crab
oysters, scallops, crocodiles, mussels and abalones.
