Data in Brief
|August 14, 2018
Summary
This study presents sustainability indicators from major salmon aquaculture certification schemes. The data covers environmental, social, and health aspects, available in a searchable database.
Area of Science:
- Aquaculture Science
- Environmental Science
- Sustainability Studies
Background:
- Salmon aquaculture relies on various certification schemes to demonstrate sustainability.
- A comprehensive overview of sustainability indicators across these schemes is lacking.
- Understanding these indicators is crucial for evaluating and improving aquaculture practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compile and categorize sustainability indicators from eight major salmon aquaculture certification schemes.
- To provide a searchable database of these indicators for broader accessibility.
- To offer a comprehensive resource for assessing aquaculture sustainability.
Main Methods:
- Data collection from eight prominent salmon aquaculture certification schemes.
- Categorization of sustainability indicators based on covered topics.
- Development of a searchable online database for the compiled data.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive dataset of sustainability indicators covering biotic/abiotic effects, feed, emissions, waste, fish health/welfare, social assurance, and native culture.
- The data encompasses most aspects of aquaculture production.
- A publicly accessible, searchable database (SustainFish project site) has been created.
Conclusions:
- The compiled data and database offer a valuable resource for researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers.
- This work facilitates a more informed assessment of salmon aquaculture sustainability.
- The availability of this data promotes transparency and comparability across certification schemes.

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

01:29Mechanical Ventilation I: Indication and Settings
2.9K
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving technique for managing acute respiratory failure and other respiratory complications. The process involves using a machine known as a ventilator to supply oxygen to the lungs and assist in removing carbon dioxide. It serves as a bridge to long-term mechanical ventilation or a temporary measure until ventilatory support is discontinued. The ventilator can maintain this function for a prolonged period, providing critical support for patients until they can...

1.8K
Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

01:09Bioequivalence of Drugs: Drugs with Multiple Indications
162
The concept of therapeutic equivalence (TE) in drugs with multiple indications is complex. A generic drug may be therapeutically equivalent to a brand-name product for one specific indication, but this doesn't necessarily mean it's equivalent for all other indications. Evidence of TE in one patient group and bioequivalence shown in healthy volunteers can support—but not confirm—TE for other indications. However, definitive proof requires individual clinical studies for each...
