  abstract = {{I}t is difficult to address all of the direct environmental impacts of fisheries using conventional methods of {L}ife {C}ycle {A}ssessment ({LCA}). {A} methodological framework was developed that calculates regionalised characterisation factors for biomass uptake by fishing activities to assess impacts of biotic-resource depletion at both species and ecosystem levels. {T}hese two levels were studied to include effects of catch on the collapse of a particular stock of a given species and on total biomass availability in oceans. {C}haracterisation factors were calculated for 127 fish species and 88 marine provinces. {T}he compatibility of this method with other frameworks is discussed, as well as the methodological limitations. {T}he method was applied to two contrasting examples from fisheries ({N}orthern {A}tlantic albacore tuna and {N}orthern {A}rgentine anchovy). {T}he impacts of one tonne of tuna on biotic natural resources were 4 and 14 times as high as those of anchovy at the ecosystem and species levels, respectively. {T}he application demonstrates that the method is relevant, as it addresses a topic of global interest and fills a gap in {LCA} impact assessment to contrast impacts of removals of different fish species in terms of biotic natural resource depletion.},
