Replication Data for: Spatial distribution of fishmeal and fish oil factories around the globe

This makes it difficult to assess the environmental, social, and economic impacts of individual factories and the industry’s footprint as a whole. To fill this knowledge gap, we compiled location data for FMFO factories across 63 producing countries.

We identified 506 factories owned and/or operated by 413 companies. We provide an open-source database that includes FMFO factory locations, company names and websites, and raw material types. This study offers a first look at the spatial distribution of the FMFO industry and serves as a valuable resource for marine resource managers and policymakers.
