This document summarizes the results of a life cycle assessment (LCA) comparing the environmental performance of wild-caught North Sea whitefish, aquaculture, and animal husbandry. The LCA found no significant difference in energy use or global warming potential between wild-caught fish and farmed fish or meat. However, wild-caught fish had a lower eutrophication potential than farmed salmon or tilapia. Aquaculture also had significantly higher land use than wild-caught fishing. There is potential to reduce the environmental impacts of both fisheries and aquaculture through methods like improving fuel efficiency, using alternative fuels and feed sources, and increasing fish stocks.
