Abstract
The Green House Gas Emission (GHGs) from the carp culture ponds (n = 12) of West Godavari, Krishna, and Guntur districts of Andhra Pradesh and from the ponds (n = 4) of Moyna, East Medinipur district of West Bengal, India was assessed through carbon storage and carbon footprint analysis. The average inputs as Carbon Equivalent (CE) were 14407 ± 2651, and 9231 ± 1007 kg/ha in Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal, respectively. The average carbon storage were 6216 ± 2291, and 5360 ± 1439 kg/ha, in Andhra Pradesh, and Moyna, West Bengal respectively. The emissions of CO2-e and CH4-e were 1.91 ± 0.42 kg CO2-e/kg fish and 0.122 ± 0.027 kg CH4-e/kg fish, respectively in Andhra Pradesh. The emissions of CO2-e and CH4-e were 0.006 to 2.07 (average 0.72) kg CO2-e /kg fish, and 0.0004 to 0.132 (average 0.046) kg CH4-e /kg fish production, respectively in Moyna, West Bengal.

Increase in Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) concentration in the atmosphere is the main reason for climate change as accumulated GHGs in the atmosphere intercepts outgoing infrared radiation which traps heat and raises the temperature in the atmosphere
Summary
Global warming is one of the important climate change element. Increase in Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) concentration in the atmosphere is the main reason for climate change as accumulated GHGs in the atmosphere intercepts outgoing infrared radiation which traps heat and raises the temperature in the atmosphere. There is chance of emitting different GHGs from the different aquaculture systems. GHGs can be released to the atmosphere in two ways: diffusive emission (emanation) and emission as bubbles. Gas flow between water and the atmosphere changes by the time of day and can VOLUME: 1 ISSUE: 6.
