On average, fish have a lower emissions footprint than other common sources of animal protein like beef and pork. Three groups of fish, oysters, anchovies, and salmon, represent 35% of the available nutrition density while only contributing 6% of production-related GHG emissions across all 41 seafood species assessed. Emissions output can be seriously influenced by how fish are caught, or if farmed, what food they receive. For 50% of the fish species surveyed, protein levels were higher than in beef, chicken, and pork.
