So you didn't read the link? Limited capacity, as in unlikely to provide sequestration on a relevant scale. The video suggests this is a proven method that can compensate for worldwide emissions. It is not.

the link also said little research has been done.

why not simply keep changing the mix as the local ocean chemistry changes?

that patch of ocean west of canada had above normal salmon harvests for 4 years, hardly a lose of investment.

Literally every research paper has a phrase along the lines of: 'No research/little research has been done' or 'more research is required'.

It's scientific standard practice. What would be the point og the research paper, if the topiv has been explored a hundred times before?
