Fish livers and roes dried, smoked, salted or in brine

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to edible fish livers and fish roes preserved by one or more of drying, smoking, dry salting, wet salting, or holding in brine, and delivered as a finished product at the preserving facility gate. Products may be whole, portioned, loose, formed, or packed, provided that fish liver or roe remains the defining product and the preservation route is declared.

The foreground boundary begins when identified fish livers or roes arrive at the preserving facility in a declared fresh, chilled, or frozen state. It includes receipt and preparation, the actual preservation route, route-specific intermediate holding, packaging, and storage at the facility before dispatch. Upstream fishing or aquaculture, primary fish processing, production of ingredients and packaging, and inbound transport are represented by upstream datasets for inputs rather than re-created inside the foreground process.

Products outside scope include fresh or merely chilled fish livers and roes; frozen products without drying, smoking, salting, or brining; canned or otherwise hermetically heat-processed products; caviar or other roe preparations whose defining treatment or formulation is outside the declared preservation routes; composite foods in which liver or roe is not the defining product; and livers or roes from non-fish aquatic animals.

This candidate PCR specifies LCA data-production rules, not legal food-safety acceptance limits. The data package shall identify applicable product specifications and food-safety controls for its species, product form, preservation route, packaging atmosphere, storage condition, and market.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_net_mass	Reference product	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Report 1 kg net finished product after the declared preservation operations and before dispatch. Exclude separate transport packaging from product mass and inventory it separately.
wet_dry_basis_disclosure	Product moisture, salt, and yield observations	Mass fraction or concentration appropriate to the measured property	Declared unit	Declare whether each moisture, dry-matter, salt, or concentration result is on a wet-product, dry-matter, water-phase, or solution basis; do not convert between bases without recorded inputs and a stated formula.
ingredient_solution_mass	Brine and other aqueous ingredient solutions	Mass	kg	Record the mass and composition of make-up solution entering the process, recovered solution returned to use, and spent solution leaving the process as separate quantities; do not report only nominal tank capacity.
energy_carrier_separation	Electricity, thermal energy, and direct fuel	Energy or mass appropriate to the carrier	kWh, MJ, or kg	Keep purchased electricity, purchased heat, and combusted fuel separate. Record actual carrier, amount, and conversion factor; do not sum unlike energy units without an explicit calculation rule.
packaging_mass_separation	Primary, secondary, and transport packaging	Mass	kg	Measure packaging by material and level per reference flow. Packaging included in the sold unit remains an inventory input but is excluded from the net fish liver or roe mass.

5. System Boundary

The foreground system covers operations controlled by the preserving facility from receipt of identified livers or roes through release of the finished packaged product. Include actual cleaning, sorting, membrane or tissue removal, draining, thawing, salting, brining, drying, smoking, cooling, intermediate storage, packaging, finished-product storage, sanitation-related process water, on-site waste handling, and on-site wastewater treatment when performed and attributable.

Use upstream datasets for incoming fish livers or roes, salt and other ingredients, water, energy carriers, fuels, packaging materials, refrigerants, transport services, and treatment services. Distribution after the facility gate, retail, consumer preparation, consumption, and end-of-life of packaging are outside the foreground boundary unless a study explicitly adds them as downstream scenarios.

boundary_upstream_inputs	Inputs crossing the facility gate	Represent upstream production and inbound transport through traceable upstream datasets and disclose any missing or proxy dataset; do not assign zero burden to incoming livers, roes, salt, fuel, packaging, or utilities.	eu-pef-2021-2279
boundary_food_safety_controls	Product- and line-specific controls	Document the applicable hazard analysis, control points, monitoring records, and release criteria for the actual product and line. Food-safety records support process identity and quality but do not replace environmental inventory measurements.	codex-cxc-52-2003

starting_condition_role	Upstream product input to the foreground preserving system
product_classification_scope	Fish livers and fish roes whose finished state is produced by drying, smoking, salting, or holding in brine within CPC 3.0 code 21227 mapping context
recursive_input_rule	If an already preserved fish liver or roe product in this category is used as an input, record it once as an upstream product flow with its own dataset. Do not recursively re-run this PCR unless the foreground facility performs a further named preservation transformation.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Each incoming fish liver or roe input requires a traceable upstream dataset that declares capture or aquaculture origin, species, primary-processing boundary, co-product or by-product treatment, allocation method, geography, period, and incoming preservation state. Other material and energy inputs require representative upstream datasets or disclosed proxies.
disclosure	Declare facility location, reporting period, species or species group, liver or roe, incoming state, actual preservation sequence, product formulation, net-mass basis, packaging, storage condition and duration, rejected material, co-products, wastes, on-site treatment, upstream dataset choices, allocation, proxies, and retained reasoned estimates.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids

Mass allocation may be used only when mass is an appropriate causal proxy.	eu-pef-2021-2279

Record prices, currency, geography, averaging period, product state, and treatment of abnormal or missing prices, and test material sensitivity.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_incoming_material	Upstream fish liver or roe dataset	Preserve and disclose the upstream dataset's treatment of livers or roes arising with fish meat or other co-products. Do not replace upstream allocation with zero burden at the preservation facility gate.	eu-pef-2021-2279
