Abstract: Climate warming has been a world-concerned global problem.It brings a series of serious consequences,greatly impacts human survival and development.To reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate global warming,the development of the low carbon economy based on low energy consumption,low pollution and low emission has been our common sense.Fixing and sequestrating greenhouse gases by biological carbon sink is one of the most economical and effective ways.By filtering plankton,filter-feeding fish can reduce indirectly atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and exert carbon sink function.The paper described carbon cycle of freshwater ecosystem without feeding,and presented carbon sink function of filter-feeding fish.At last,carbon sink amount of filter-feeding fish is evaluated based on 2009 relevant statistics of Chinese aquaculture.The research will make a good preparation for low carbon development of freshwater fisheries,and impel the scientific and healthy development of modern fisheries.

Key words: carbon sink, low-carbon economy, filter-feeding fish, freshwater fisheries
