Tons of carbon dioxide could be captured from the environment while removing toxic sulfide from fish farms.

Scientists are exploring a new model for carbon capture in low-oxygen aquatic environments, such as fisheries, that will help address rising global temperatures and could potentially be cost-effective, a recent study published in Nature Food said.
Lead researcher Mojtaba Fakhraee, an assistant professor of Earth sciences who will begin his appointment in August 2025, says traditional methods of reducing emissions are no longer sufficient to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celcius, a goal set by the Paris Agreement.
In recent years, scientists have turned to carbon capture — the process of capturing CO2 emissions from industrial sources — as a possible solution to address climate change alongside traditional efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
