Abstract

Regarding seafood species, there are many ways to assess the sustainability of wild capture and farmed seafood. In fact, 85% of the seafood items sold in US markets carry a sustainability rating or eco-certification. For many of the seafood species used in animal diets, these statistics do not apply as many of these species are considered “unranked,” meaning a sustainability assessment has not yet been done.
