| Abstract: |
Small-scale aquaculture operation is increasing rapidly in the world, but its greenhouse gas (GHG) contributions are still poorly assessed. In this study, dissolved concentrations and fluxes of CO2 and CH4 were determined in three coastal shrimp ponds in southeastern China. The annual average CO2 and CH4 fluxes from the ponds were –18.4±7.4 and 38 22.6±6.9 mg m-2 h-1, respectively, suggesting that the shrimp ponds worked as a CO2 sink and a CH4 source. The estimated annual warming potential was 7.1×103 g CO2-eq m-2 yr-1, with approximately 90% from the farming period. Ebullition was the dominant emission pathway for CH4 emission. |
