my computer will not open most pdf files, this one included.
This is the HTML version, better than nothing on cage-culture of fish in

(small scale fish culture in a geodesic greenhouse---the pond stores a 
lot of heat.  Insulation keeps it from disappearing into the night sky.  
A Fire Department foam generator and homemade bubble solution would be 
the most convenient insulation---generate insulating bubbles inside two 
plastic membranes---one fastened to inside of wood-frame geodesic, one 
fastened to the outside.  Bubbles can also act as shade fabric if the 
geodesic is used as a greenhouse.  Old New Alchemy Institute employed a 
similar approach, but with styrofoam balls from Zomeworks.)
