# Researchers are exploring reusing computing heat for fish farms

Researchers have examined the costs of heating water in fish farming, comparing various methods and considering a novel approach. Electric resistance heaters are the most expensive, while air source heat pumps offer a more cost-effective solution. A case study in Anhui, China, using heat pumps for a marine fish farm is estimated to cost around $8,000 to heat by 12C.  A novel approach, leveraging waste heat from computing processes, such as Bitcoin mining or data centres, for aquaculture heating has potential. This method could significantly reduce heating costs, potentially extending production seasons and enhancing profitability in fish farming.  ([Medium)](https://medium.com/@SAIHEAT/integrating-tech-residuals-in-fish-farming-a-cost-efficient-and-eco-friendly-heating-solution-d4c9594e54f9)
