Abstract

The increasing number of small-hold aquaculture ponds for food production globally has raised concerns of their emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Aeration is commonly applied to improve oxygen supply for the farmed animals, but it could have opposite...
