Feed-food competition is the allocation of resources that can be used to feed humans animal instead, a current but unsustainable practise not well documented for aquaculture. Here, we analysed feed-food in aquaculture using two measures; natural trophic levels (TLs) and species-specific human-edible protein conversion ratios (HePCRs). The HePCR equals ratio human edible (input) produce (output)...
