Temporal variability of air-water gas exchange of carbon dioxide in clam and fish aquaculture ponds.

The growing trend of land-based aquaculture has heightened the significance of comprehensively assessing air-water carbon dioxide (CO) gas exchange in these inland waters, given their potential impact on carbon neutral strategies. However, temporal variations of partial pressure of CO (pCO) and CO flux in clam and fish aquaculture ponds were barely investigated. We assessed the water surface pCO in one to five months intervals by deploying a lab-made buoy in three clam ponds and three fishponds located in tropical and subtropical climates.

Ocean acidification increases inorganic carbon over organic carbon in shrimp's exoskeleton.

Ocean acidification (OA) may either increase or have a neutral effect on the calcification in shrimp's exoskeleton. However, investigations on changes in the carbon composition of shrimp's exoskeletons under OA are lacking. We exposed juvenile Pacific white shrimps to target pHs of 8.

Radiocesium in the Taiwan Strait and the Kuroshio east of Taiwan from 2018 to 2019.
