| Summary: | The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent greenhouse gas emissions from the production of farmed trout. This includes every step of the process and on-farm and off-farm emissions. | |
| 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. | |
