Marine fisheries and aquaculture are important contributors to global food security but
disturb biogeochemical cycles from local to global scales. In this Review, we summarize …

Aquaculture systems are of increasing concern as an important source of atmospheric
methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). However, the role of animals in regulating CH 4 …

Overfishing, nutrient-fuelled hypoxia and habitat destruction have reduced oyster
populations to a fraction of their former abundance. Over the past two decades there has …

Expanded shellfish mariculture is an important strategy to improve global food security.
However, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with mariculture are a concern …

Aquaculture generates less greenhouse gas emissions compared to other agriculture
practices due to its limited land‐use changes, improved feed conversion rates, and reduced …

Sediment macrofauna play a vital role in sustaining aquatic food webs and biogeochemical
cycles. Previous research demonstrated that bioturbation indirectly affects methane (CH4) …

Fluxes of nutrients and organic matter between estuaries and the open coast comprise an
important component of ecosystem connectivity. Nevertheless, relatively little is known about …

After centuries of decline, oyster populations are now on the rise in coastal systems globally
following aquaculture development and restoration efforts. Oysters regulate the …

Humans have been engaged in aquaculture for eight thousands of years. Because of limited
scale, aquaculture activities as a whole do not expose significant impacts on surrounding …

Large solitary ascidians, like Herdmania grandis (Heller), can dominate the benthic
substrates of subtropical and temperate reefs; however, their influence on nitrogen cycling …
