Bivalve aquaculture, a potential carbon sink (FCS), enhances oceanic COâ‚‚ absorption to mitigate climate change. Prior studies, primarily in China, lack a global perspective. Using an updated carbon budget model, this study finds scallops and oysters have the highest removal potential, with oysters being the most farmed.
