Geography
Process located in China for dataset consistency, but the enabling technical description of semi-closed conditioning and heat-pump temperature control is taken from a New Zealand abalone farm case study (Jayatissa et al., 2002; DOI: 10.1002/er.851). No China-specific operating parameters (kWh/kg, flows) were provided; any background datasets for electricity/heat pump should use China mixes where available. · Area not specified

Technology description
Finished preserved abalone produced from farmed abalone grown in a land-based system with semi-closed water conditioning and heat-pump-driven temperature control; harvested, minimally cleaned/graded, then frozen and packaged at the processing plant (representing the 'production mix, at plant' for the frozen product form).; Land-based marine aquaculture grow-out in tanks using a semi-closed seawater conditioning system with heat-pump-driven temperature control (heating/cooling) as the key utility demand. Based on Jayatissa et al. (2002) abalone case study of controlled-temperature land-based aquaculture using a semi-closed water conditioning system and a heat pump (DOI: 10.1002/er.851).; Primary production is aquaculture (not wild capture), consistent with abalone-specific reference focusing on land-based aquaculture energy/temperature control.; Temperature control is implemented with a heat pump in a semi-closed water conditioning system during grow-out.; Downstream freezing is included because the reference flow explicitly includes 'frozen' as one of the finished preserved forms, but no abalone-specific freezing process parameters are provided in the references.
