Shaping sustainability of seafood from capture fisheries integrating the perspectives of supply chain stakeholders through combining systems analysis tools

A study on the Australian Patagonian toothfish fishery at Heard and McDonald Islands reveals that while ecological risks have been effectively mitigated over time using the Ecological Risk Assessment for Effects of Fishing (ERAEF), fuel use per kilogram has increased, highlighting a trade-off between ecological sustainability and operational efficiency. The research combines ERAEF with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide contrasting yet complementary perspectives on sustainability, suggesting that integrating LCA could refine ecosystem-based fisheries management by better addressing the diverse views of supply chain stakeholders.
