Abstract

Small-hold aquaculture ponds are widespread in China, but their carbon greenhouse gas emissions are poorly quantified. In this study, we used a carbon budget approach to assess the climate footprint of three earthen aquaculture ponds in southeastern China with the whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannam...
