| Abstract | According to Thailand was the largest producer of shrimp production in the world
and expo1ted to many countries. The large amount of shrimp production was produced every
year. Due to there are a lot of shrimp farming in Thailand and almost caused the environmental
impact. This study was assesses the environmental impact emission in the whole life cycle of
shrimp production since raw material extraction untill disposal period. By using Sima Pro model
for calculating the impact emission in each process. Afterward identified and quantified the
significant impact including sources of these impact. Next to suggest the optimize options for
reduce these impact and show the environmental impact reduction potential of these options
compare with the traditional cultural shrimp production. From this study, the result show that to
produce one ton of shrimp production, the environmental impact emission were 40,900 MJ LHV
of energy consumption, 4,130 kg C02-equivalence of greenhouse effect, 83.5 kg P04-
equivalence of nutrient enrichment, 76 kg S02-equivalence of acidification and 4 kg C2H4-
equivalence of photochemical smog. The majority sources of impact were growing process and
preparation process. |
