| HuID: | 16614 | |
| Relevant Year(s): | 2021 | |
| Summary: | The amount of land used to produce farmed trout, including land used to produce feed, expressed per mass of edible portion. | |
| Method: | This value comes from a compilation of life cycle analysis studies. They used hierarchical Bayesian modeling to estimate both off-farm and on-farm stressors at the species level and used global production values to obtain means for taxonomic groups. The upper and lower bounds reported represent 50% of the width of the distribution of the parameter obtained from Bayesian modeling. | |
