Abstract

Impact of marine bivalves on the oceanic carbon cycle is complex, while addressing this impact is crucial for handling global climate change and achieving carbon neutrality. In this review, the impact of bivalves’ physiological processes like calcification, respiration, and biogenic sedimentation on the oceanic carbon dynamics were discussed. Besides, studies on the carbon budget accounting of bivalve physiological processes were reviewed, while the necessity of considering bivalves carbon budget from an ecosystem perspective was proposed. The carbon burial and release in the bivalve reefs were also discussed. Furthermore, greenhouse gas emissions features of bivalve aquaculture were discussed, and the corresponding emission reduction strategies were proposed. This review aims to contribute to the comprehensive understand the role of marine bivalves in the carbon cycle and the sustainable development of bivalve aquaculture.
