Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the ocean thermal gradient between cooler deep and warmer shallow or surface seawaters to run a heat engine and produce useful work, usually in the form of electricity. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_thermal_energy_conversion)
Tebufenozide is an insecticide that acts as a molting hormone. It is an agonist of the ecdysone receptor that causes premature molting in larvae. It is primarily used against caterpillar pests. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebufenozide)
The temperature that an unsaturated parcel of dry air would have if brought adiabatically and reversibly from its initial state to a standard pressure, p0, typically 100 kPa. In oceanography, the temperature that a water sample would attain if raised adiabatically to the sea surface. (https://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Potential_temperature)
Propane is a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C3H8. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, but compressible to a transportable liquid.A by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, it is commonly used as a fuel in domestic and industrial applications and in low-emissions public transportation. Propane is one of a group of liquefied petroleum gases (LP gases). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane)
Biochemical oxygen demand: BOD, also called biological oxygen demand, is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed (i.e., demanded) by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. (Daoliang Li, Shuangyin Liu, in Water Quality Monitoring and Management, 2019 https://doi.org/10.1016/C2016-0-00573-9)
Cage nets have three major functions: keeping the fish stock together; protecting the stocks against harmful external influences; allowing free water exchange between the inside and outside water. (http://www.fao.org/3/x5744e/x5744e0f.htm#3.1%20netting)
