The system includes energy production (red), feed production (green), the main chain of aquaculture production (blue), and the production of other inputs (purple). When using this data set for life cycle assessment, include considerations for the environmental impact of each part of the supply chain, which is color-coded as energy production (red), feed production (green), aquaculture production (blue), and production of other inputs (purple). Ensure to represent the geographical specificity of the aquaculture production to Ningde, accounting for the local practices and conditions. The data reflect the operations of 292 households in mariculture over 2016 and should be taken into account for period-specific and site-specific assessments.
