The shift of phosphorus transfers in global fisheries and aquaculture

Y. Huang, P. Ciais, et al.

Research conducted by Yuanyuan Huang and colleagues reveals that global fish production is reshaping phosphorus flows, posing challenges for aquaculture. With significant phosphorus usage in aquaculture, meeting future efficiency goals by 2050 will require innovative solutions.

Abstract
Global fish production (capture and aquaculture) has significantly increased, altering global phosphorus (P) flows. In 2016, aquaculture used 2.04 Tg P yr−1, while 1.10 Tg P yr−1 was removed through fish harvesting. Between 1950 and 1986, P shifted from aquatic to land-human systems, peaking at 0.54 Tg P yr−1. After 1986, this flux reversed, becoming negative around 2004. To achieve balanced anthropogenic P flow by 2050, aquaculture phosphorus use efficiency needs to increase from 20% to at least 48%, a significant challenge.
