Comparing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Salmonid Aquaculture Production Systems: Status and Perspectives
G. Philis F. Ziegler L. Gansel M. D. Jansen E. Gracey A. Stene
Biology
Sustainability
2019
TLDR
Arguments are made in favor of further developing cross-study LCA analysis, particularly by increasing the number of salmonid LCA studies available (to improve sample sizes) and by reforming in-depth LCA practices to enable full reproducibility and greater access to inventory data.

Life cycle assessment of Chinese shrimp farming systems targeted for export and domestic sales.
Ling Cao J. Diana G. Keoleian Qiuming Lai
Engineering
Environmental science & technology
2011
TLDR
The results indicated that intensive farming had significantly higher environmental impacts per unit production than semi-intensive farming in all impact categories, and improvements suggested for Chinese shrimp aquaculture include changes in feed composition, farm management, electricity-generating sources, and effluent treatment before discharge.
