Description
David Love and co-authors remeasure seafood loss and waste in the United States in a 2023 study. Food loss and waste strain the food system, and older figures for aquatic foods rested on broad averages. The team rebuilt the estimate from primary and secondary data with life cycle methods, splitting results by species, production method, origin, and supply chain stage.
Total loss and waste came to 22.7 percent of supply, roughly half of earlier published estimates. The fine-grained view shows why one national number misleads: rates differ sharply across those categories. Losses during production of imported food made up over a quarter of the total, which means fixes need cooperation across borders. The findings guide where interventions matter most.
