Some 16 countries use geothermal energy for aquaculture, including China, Israel, and the United States.[1] In California, for example, 15 fish farms produce tilapia, striped bass, and catfish with warm water from underground. This warmer water enables fish to grow through the winter and mature more quickly. Collectively these California farms produce 4.5 million kilograms of fish per year.[2]
