Fig. 4: Composite score of three index (societal benefits score (SBS), environmental pollution score (EPS) and resources utilization score (RUS)) for countries and continents.
From: Social benefits and environmental performance of aquaculture need to improve worldwide
Composite scores of resources utilization (RUS, a, b), environmental pollution (EPS, c, d) and societal benefits (SBS, e, f) for each country in 2018. Low values (red scales on the maps) indicate high resource utilization, high pollution, and low societal benefits, whereas high values (blue scales) indicate low resource utilization, low pollution, and high societal benefits (a, c, e). Violin plots (b, d, f) show the distribution of the values of the three scores for each continent. Letters above the violin plots show significant differences between the values of the six continents (pairwise Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p < 0.05). C & S America Central and South America, N American North America. The data of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan provinces of China are not included in Chinese aquaculture. For box plot in the violin plot, center line means median value; box limits means upper and lower quartiles.
