Influence of environmental variables on methane related microbial activities in a tropical bio-secured zero-exchange shrimp culture system

Recently, aquaculture has emerged as the fastest growing food-producing sector accounting for nearly 50% of the world's food fish and is an activity of economic importance worldwide. Aquaculture systems are considered as one of the potential contributors to atmospheric methane (CH4)—the second...
