Table 1 Current (base case) and year 2100 estimates of ΣM_DHA according to the IPCC RCP scenarios. Values listed are median ∑M_DHA from marine and freshwater capture fisheries and aquaculture (median × 10³ tonnes in bold, with 90% confidence interval). Note that subtotals do not equal the overall total, as each output was analyzed independently

From: Projected declines in global DHA availability for human consumption as a result of global warming
