Outline The ANCHOVETA-SC project Supply chain modelling and evaluation Sustainability indicators Initial LCA results
ANCHOVETA-SC Project financed by IRD and project partners Coordinator: Pierre Fréon, IRD Location: Peru Duration: 4 years (01.2010 - 12-2013) Theme: Environmental and socio-economic assessment of major international supply chains consuming Peruvian anchoveta (aligned to WP5 DISCOH) Outputs: Sustainability assessment Policy and sustainability suggestions PhD thesis (plus other theses)
Focus Characterisation of biophisical flows along the supply chains (SC) Featuring ecosystem-SC interactions Comparison of scenarios based on different fishing intensities and “fate” of landings (DHC vs IHC) Sustainability comparison of chains/scenarios based upon: Energy performance Environmental impacts (LCA) Seafood-specific impact categories Nutritional value Selected socio-economic indicators LCA o ACV: estudio de los impactos ambientales, expresados en una serie de categorías de impacto (e.g. GWP, eutrophication), asociados a la provisión de un bien o servicio a lo largo de todo su ciclo de vida, desde la extracción de materias primas pasando por la transformación y uso hasta la disposición final. La idea principal es permitir la comparación de productos y procesos productivos desde el punto de vista de su impacto ambiental.

LCAs carried out Two fishmeal plants: a conventional one producing only Fair Average Quality (FAQ) fishmeal and using mainly heavy fuel as energy source a more modern steam plant producing both FAQ and prime quality fishmeal and using both heavy fuel and natural gas Detailed inventories of industrial anchoveta fleet under processing preliminary LCA of representative “average“ 395 m3 vessel category Two aquafeed plants (Iquitos) A pilot facility and a working commercial facility One aquaculture farm (Iquitos) Peruvian Amazonian species
Iquitos Colossoma farm Colossoma macropomum (Gamitana), a large Amazonian fish Farm: 30 ha, converted from rain forest, 11.2 ha of ponds (no wastewater treatment), production: 100 t/a, feed: 150 t/a
Network: Colossoma farm

Iquitos Aquafeed plants 2 plants visited: 30 t/a IIAP plant 8 t/m commercial plant (competing with Purina, etc.) < 6% Peruvian fishmeal content in feeds > 33% Bolivian soymeal content > 45% local cornmeal content

Design remarks Key aquaculture products haven’t been characterised for Peruvian conditions E.g. Peruvian rice and corn. Proxies were used and adaptations introduced when possible (e.g. Bolivian soymeal adapted from Brazilian) Key industrial products haven’t been characterised, yet it’s composition is known/estimated E.g. electric and combustion engines
LCA results Construction and maintenance of (reduction, feed) plants contributes negligibly Fuel use is the main contributor to impacts in all activities (fishing, reduction, feed processing) Feed provision is the main contributor to impacts in extensive Peruvian aquaculture The sourcing of feed ingredients is a critical factor for associated environmental impacts of feeds E.g. Brazilian soymeal performing much worst than Bolivian one, due to clear cutting of rain forest vs. of shrublands.
Further (ongoing) work EwE scenarios definition and integration with Umberto Selection of and data gathering for socio-economic indicators Statistical processing of fleet inventories and comprehensive LCA of fleet categories Further LCAs: Canning, curing and freezing plants Carnivore fish and shrimp aquaculture farms Gathering supply chains operative data and LCIs Background processes for provision of feed ingredients Published LCI/LCA data must be recalculated to ensure consistency
