The Human Impacts Database

A collection of useful numbers for quantifying the impacts of the human presence on Earth.

This quantity comes from a time series measurement and the most recent value (2018) is reported.


Value:		1.1 g / capita / day
HuID:		83673
Relevant Year(s):		2018
Summary:		Global average daily protein supply from poultry meat per capita. Pelagic fish live in the pelagic zone of the ocean, neither close to the shore nor the bottom of the ocean. Examples include tuna, herring, bluefish, and albacore. This represents the average amount of protein from poultry available for human consumption and does not necessarily represent how much is consumed or how much is available in a given country/region.
Method:		The FAO collects data from countries on production of pelagic fish. The amount available for human consumption is calculated after accounting for other uses and losses. Protein content is calculated from the average composition of pelagic fish meat. The FAO does not provide an assessment of uncertainty and this value should be considered approximate.
