Introducing the aquaculture performance indicators: A tool to assess the triple bottomline in aquaculture systems
Abstrak
Abstract Aquaculture has been the primary engine driving increases in the global aquatic food supply for over three decades. Despite its undisputed success in terms of increased production, there has been considerable concern and criticism regarding various aspects of aquaculture, particularly in relation to environmental and social sustainability. However, there has been no method developed or data collected, that can be consistently used to compare aquaculture system performance along the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social performance, or at finer scales. The Aquaculture Performance Indicators (APIs) are designed to address this major gap. The APIs adopt a very similar framework to the successful Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) and are designed to be comparable with the FPIs, particularly at the more aggregated levels. This work introduces the API approach and its implementation to date. Thus far, 69 API assessments have been conducted that are associated with over 40% of global aquaculture production quantity and 36% of global production value.
