Hi Hazo, yes I completely agree with you about overstating the homogeneity of chickens! The broiler/layer distinction is a problem, but most advocates intuitively understand this only for terrestrial systems. My analysis only segments aquaculture by species and country. I don’t break down by production system, life stage, or procedure, all of which I think create additional target populations within a single species. Atlantic salmon farmed in RAS vs marine cages alone should be considered completely different target populations.
