A comparison can be made with Bosma et al. (2011), who conducted
LCA research on Pangasius farming in the Mekong Delta and
showed that feed production contributed to 90% or more of the
impact categories global warming, acidification, toxicity (human
and marine) and primary energy use. In comparison with our study,
where the feed input at the farm contributed to 68% of total CEENE
inputs (corresponding with 75% of the total CEENE inputs if the
hatchery stage is not taken into account as in Bosma et al. (2011)),
we can conclude that the results of our fully resource-driven
analysis and the results of Bosma et al. (2011) give rise to the
same hotspot.
