Shellfish and seaweed mariculture increase atmospheric CO2 absorption by coastal ecosystems
Open accessAbstract
With an annual production of >10 million t (Mt), China is the largest producer of cultivated shellfish and seaweeds in the world.Through mariculture of shellfish and seaweeds, it is estimated that 3.79 ± 0.37 Mt C yr -1 are being taken up, and 1.20 ± 0.11 Mt C yr -1 are being removed from the coastal ecosystem by harvesting (means ± SD).These estimates are based on carbon content data of both shellfish and seaweeds and annual production data from 1999 to 2008.The result illustrates that cultivated shellfish and seaweeds can indirectly and directly take up a significant volume of coastal ocean carbon -shellfish accomplish this by removal of phytoplankton and particulate organic matter through filter feeding, and seaweeds through photosynthesis.Thus, cultivation of seaweeds and shellfish plays an important role in carbon fixation, and therefore contributes to improving the capacity of coastal ecosystems to absorb atmospheric CO 2 .Because the relationship between mariculture and the carbon cycle of the coastal ecosystem is complicated and the interaction between the 2 processes is significant, such studies should be continued and given high priority.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
