The report reviews, synthesizes and summarises reports and studies regarding GHG emissions from seafood supply chains in the period 2000-2012. Published case studies or carbon footprint assessments taking a life cycle approach are considered.

The benefits of sustainable fisheries and the need to mitigate the environmental impacts of fishing and aquaculture are increasingly in the public consciousness. Poorly implemented, government run, command and control management schemes have often failed to curb fishing effort, prevent overfishing and avoid environmental degradation. Alternative, market based approaches have shown promise and, among these, enabling informed consumer choice in seafood purchasing can generate strong motivation for improved catching and culture practices.

The report presents the outcome of a feasibility study, supported by Seafsh, for developing an aquaculture and fsheries research and development centre at a laboratory facility in Brixham. (formerly AstraZeneca’s, but transferred to Plymouth University two years ago). The proposed concept was a full-service operation that could support the UK seafood industry - including fsheries and aquaculture supply chains - with market-led research, development and analytics capabilities.

This is one of a series of guides in which Seafish explores topical issues affecting the UK seafood industry. In this guide we define greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the different terminology used, the standards that are in place for seafood and aquatic food products and look at the tools available to measure and manage emission levels.
