This diagram doesn't currently include fish.
Here's one way that fish could maybe be included in future versions of this diagram:
- The top part would be renamed from 'crops harvested' to 'production primary', and would include wild-caught fish.
- The 'animal feed' would include any human-edible calories fed to farmed fish.
- The 'animal products' produced would include the farmed fish.
To put things in perspective, seafood contributes about 12g protein/day/capita to the global food supply. [1]

Distinguishing farmed vs hunted meat
The diagram currently does not. If it did,
- people could see that hunted animals are a small portion of meat, and
- people would see a slightly more accurate feed-conversion-ratio for farmed animals
(...)( although if we really wanted to show that accurately, we could separate each farmed animal species and maybe even show an auxillary 'non-human-edible feed' bar for ruminants )
Would such a change be worthwhile?
