The production and supply of food is responsible for global environmental impacts and a transition to a sustainable food system is required. Seafood plays a key role in the food system, as a vital source of protein and essential nutrients, yet fisheries and aquaculture are often left out of discussions on food and nutrition security. The broader impacts of seafood as part of the food system are rarely considered through current sustainability assessments. The result is that the environmental impacts generated from the supply and consumption of seafood products are not well understood. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a practical and credible tool for assessing the environmental footprints of food products and production methods. LCAs of seafood have increased substantially over the past decade, encompassing a range of species, production methods, and geographic locations. Nevertheless, the field lags behind LCA of terrestrial systems in terms of both empirical coverage and methods. This thesis expands the literature on seafood LCAs, using Australian seafood case studies. The aim is to improve the understanding of the environmental impacts of seafood production and consumption as a part of the broader food system, and to identify opportunities to advance seafood sustainability concepts and practice. The thesis consists of five papers which are linked through the LCA framework, and have a strong emphasis on seafood as part of a sustainable food system, and on the nexus between LCA and contemporary fisheries management principles and practices. In the first paper LCA is used to measure the environmental performance of the white banana prawn (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) from the Australian Northern Prawn Fishery across its supply chain. Management of this fishery has been promoted as a sustainable model for other countries to emulate, although broader environmental impacts, such as those relating to energy and water use or greenhouse gas emissions are not currently monitored. Fishing operations were the main source of impacts, while processing and storage were key contributors to ecotoxicity, and transport made a negligible contribution to any impact category. This research highlighted the scope to develop the application of LCA in wild capture fisheries in terms of complementing existing fisheries management, and through the development of fishery-specific indicators to improve the efficacy of seafood LCAs. There is a need for information to better understand the relationship between seafood LCAs and fisheries management. In the second paper LCA was used to measure the environmental footprint of the supply of Tasmanian southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii (TSRL) under different management v scenarios. The environmental footprint of the TSRL in the scenarios modelled was responsive to marine resource management decisions made inside and outside the fishery. Targeting maximum economic yield rather than maximum sustainable yield decreased the carbon footprint by 80%. Limiting access to the fishery by increasing the coverage of marine protected areas increased the fishery’s carbon footprint by 23%. Better understanding of the environmental impacts resulting from management changes will be vital in a future of increased carbon emission reporting and regulation. The application of LCA to marine resource decision-making can help ensure decisions are not made in isolation of broader environmental impacts. The lobster LCA also highlighted that the international airfreight of live lobsters was the major contributor to global warming potential (GWP) and cumulative energy demand (CED). The distance between where food is produced and consumed is increasing, and is often taken as evidence of an unsustainable global food system. Seafood is a highly traded commodity and in the third paper LCA was used to examine the impacts of the movement of products beyond the fishery or farm to better understand the environmental impact of seafood as part of the broader food system. The carbon footprints of the production and distribution of select seafood products that are consumed in Australia were compared to determine differences in the sustainability of imports and their domestically produced counterparts. The distance food is transported was not found to be the main determinant of carbon emissions. Despite the increased distance between production and consumption, carbon footprints of meals from imported seafood can be similar to meals consisting of domestically produced seafood, and sometimes lower, depending on the seafood consumed. In combining LCA with existing seafood sustainability criteria the trade-offs between sustainability targets become more apparent. While the addition of carbon footprinting to current seafood sustainability assessments broadens their perspective, the carbon footprint should not be taken as a complete measure of product sustainability in LCA. A combination of relevant LCA indicators can provide a more holistic assessment of overall seafood sustainability. However, while LCA is a well-developed and useful tool for assessing carbon emissions and other biophysical

  • Models for an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
    ISSN 0429-9345 FAO FISHERIES 477 TECHNICAL PAPER 477 Models for an ecosystem approach to fisheries Models for an ecosystem approach to fisheries This report reviews the methods available for assessing the impacts of interactions between species and fisheries and their implications for marine fisheries management. A brief description of the various modelling approaches currently in existence is provided, highlighting in particular features of these models that have general relevance to the field of ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). The report concentrates on the currently available models representative of general types such as bionergetic models, predator-prey models and minimally realistic models. Short descriptions are given of model parameters, assumptions and data requirements. Some of the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of each of the approaches in addressing questions pertaining to EAF are discussed. The report concludes with some recommendations for moving forward in the development of multispecies and ecosystem models and for the prudent use of the currently available models as tools for provision of scientific information on fisheries in an ecosystem context.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Consuming sustainable seafood: Guidelines, recommendations and realities Abstract Objective: Encouraging people to eat more seafood can offer a direct, cost-effective way of improving overall health outcomes. However, dietary recommendations to increase seafood consumption have been criticised following concern over the capacity of the seafood industry to meet increased demand, while maintaining sustainable fish stocks. The current research sought to investigate Australian accredited practising dietitians' (APD) and public health nutritionists' (PHN) views on seafood sustainability and their dietary recommendations, to identify ways to better align nutrition and sustainability goals. Design: A self-administered online questionnaire exploring seafood consumption advice, perceptions of seafood sustainability and information sources of APD and PHN. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected via open and closed questions. Quantitative data were analysed with χ2tests and reported using descriptive statistics. Content analysis was used for qualitative data. Setting: Australia. Subjects: APD and PHN were targeted to participate; the sample includes respondents from urban and regional areas throughout Australia.

  • Consumer Preferences for Seafood and Applications to Plant-Based and Cultivated Seafood
    Literature Review Consumer Preferences for Seafood and Applications to Plant-Based and Cultivated Seafood June 2020 Jen Lamy Sustainable Seafood Initiative Manager The Good Food Institute Keri Szejda, PhD Founder and Principal Research Scientist North Mountain Consulting Group Executive Summary Plant-based and cultivated seafood can play an essential role in expanding the global supply of fish and shellfish to healthfully and sustainably meet growing global seafood demand. A key step toward accelerating the development and commercialization of these industries is understanding consumers’ relationships with seafood. This paper assesses the available literature on consumer attitudes toward seafood. The results of this review should both inform decisions on how to best serve seafood consumers with plant-based and cultivated options and inform the prioritization of further research to advance these industries. Several key results emerge from the review: Heterogeneity: ​Consumer attitudes toward seafood often vary by species, product type, and consumer segmentation. Effectively developing and marketing seafood products require understanding these variations. Motivations: ​The main motivations for seafood consumption are habit, health, and taste. Barriers: ​The major barriers to seafood consumption are price, the perception that seafood is difficult to prepare, and social settings with others who do not like seafood. Attributes:​ The key product attributes assessed by seafood consumers include freshness and country of origin, but the relative

Fish provides more per capita protein than beef, pig or poultry and has accounted for more than 60% of growth since late 1960’s Fish’s unique nutritional properties make it also essential to the health of billions of consumers in both developed and developing countries. Fish is one of the most efficient converters of feed into high quality food and its carbon footprint is lower compared to other animal production systems. Through fish-related activities, fish contribute substantially to the income and livelihoods of more than 10 % of the world population.

  • Sustainable Fisheries by Samantha Stone – Environmental Specialist
    Sustainable Fisheries By Samantha Stone – Environmental Specialist The need to feed a growing global population, and to address a growing demand for fish, puts pressure on natural fisheries and on aquaculture (HLPE, 2014). With over a billion people dependent on the oceans for animal protein, the seas are often thought of as a never-ending seafood basket – pun intended (Society, 2017). With the global population expected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050, it’s vitally to sustainably harvest wild-caught seafood and maintain healthy and productive fish stocks. Beyond ensuring food security and nutrition to a large human population, healthy fish stocks are fundamental to healthy marine ecosystems. This paper aims to introduce “sustainable fisheries”, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FOA) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and to give an insight into how we as Australians can their part to help. Sustainable Fisheries – What is the code? In simple terms, a sustainable fishery is one whose practices can be maintained indefinitely without reducing the targeted species ability to maintain its population at healthy levels, and without adversely impacting on other species within the ecosystem – including humans – by removing their food source, accidentally killing them, or damaging their physical environment (Greenpeace, 2008). In 1995, the FOA of the United Nations adopted the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the code consists of a collection of principles, goals and elements for action. The code is voluntary rather than mandatory, with the governments, in cooperation with their industries and fishing communities responsible for implementing the code. The Code advocates that countries should have clear and well-organized fishing policies in order to manage their fisheries.
