Abstract
Bivalve farming affects the spatiotemporal distribution of organic carbon deposition to benthic environments, potentially altering ecosystem functioning. In this study, spatiotemporal patterns of benthic organic carbon flux of a bottom-based Manila clam ( Ruditapes philippinarum ) farm were estimated for a 1 year farming cycle using a carbon flux model coupled to a two-dimensional (2-D) hydrodynamic (MIKE-3) and a clam dynamic energy budget (DEB) model. The simulated flux was compared to the sediment total organic carbon (TOC) and contribution of biodeposits to sediment TOC based on stable isotope signatures. The outputs of the model illustrated a clear “vacuum effect” with increased carbon flux within and near the farming area (deposition area) and reduced flux outside the farm (depletion area), which could also correspond to changes in sediment TOC. Moreover, the contribution of biodeposits to the carbon flux was overall higher compared to that of biodeposits to sediment TOC, indicating a loss of biodeposits from deposition to storage in the sediment. This study highlights the role clam farming plays in the dynamics of organic carbon by linking vertical fluxes with sediment TOC, which addresses the current knowledge gaps related to the carbon footprint in coastal bivalve aquaculture systems.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
