Conversion Efficiency of Cultured Species
Conversion efficiency of cultured species measures the efficiency of biomass conversion of different aquatic species when they are farmed. This metric is important to assess the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture practices; it indicates how much of a catch can be grown depending on the species and the production system. The conversion efficiency of cultured species provides an important insight into how much of the aquatic resource can be used for food, as well as the efficiency and profitability of the production process. Knowing the conversion efficiency of cultured species can help to optimise seafood production methods and reduce waste, contributing to a more sustainable and profitable future for the industry.
