About 10 million tonnes (Mt) of shrimp are caught or reared each year, of which about 70% come from aquaculture. The relative GHG emissions of producing the same product may differ drastically depending on how and where it is grown. There are millions of farms globally, each using a unique set of practices to cultivate their products in the local climate and soil. The main sources of emissions vary depending on the intensity of production and include feed ingredients, direct farm energy use, land-use change (LUC), and direct pond emissions.
