Compartment (1) A separate section or part of a structure or container; (2) One of the parts or spaces into which an area is subdivided.
Culture (1) (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Agriculture) the cultivation of plants, especially by scientific methods designed to improve stock or to
produce new ones; (2) (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Breeds) Stockbreeding the rearing and breeding of animals, especially with a view
to improving the strain (3) (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Agriculture) the act or practice of tilling or cultivating the soil.
Dike An embankment of earth and rock built to prevent floods or to hold irrigation water in for agricultural purposes. (2) an embankment for
controlling or holding back the waters of the sea or a river.
Drainage (1) The natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area; (2) The action or a method of draining.
Floating A condition or state whereby a thing is buoyant in water.

Freshwater Naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and
underground as groundwater in aquifer sand underground streams; It is generally characterized by having low concentrations of
dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.
Inclement weather Unpleasant weather, such as stormy, rainy, or snowy.
Life support system (1) Any natural or human-engineered (constructed or made) system that furthers the life of the biosphere in a sustainable fashion; (2) an
artificial or natural system that provides all or some things (e.g. oxygen, food, water, control of temperature and pressure, disposition of
carbon dioxide and body wastes,etc.) that are necessary for maintaining life or health.
Mesh size Refers to the extensiveness of apertures within a mesh network used to sort or standardize granular material. It may also be used to sort
cereals in a factory. The larger the aperture the larger the mesh size; (2) An open fabric of string or rope or wire woven together at regular
intervals.
Mooring system It is made up of a mooring line, anchor and connectors, and is used for station keeping of a ship or floating platform in all water depths. A
mooring line connects an anchor on the seafloor to a floating structure.
Mortality The state of being subject to death or the susceptibility to death; the opposite of immortality.
Natural food Implies food that are minimally processed and do not contain manufactured ingredientsas these ingredients are mostly available in the
environment.
Netting material Anything that is utilized in making fish nets.
Predator An organism that lives by preying on other organisms; (2) an animal that hunts and seizes other animals for food.
Saline water The general term used for water that contains a significant concentration of dissolved salts. The salt concentration is usually expressed in
parts per thousand or parts per million.
