Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

Abstract
25
We investigated aquaculture production of Asian tiger shrimp, whiteleg shrimp,
26
giant river prawn, tilapia and pangasius in Bangladesh, China, Thailand and
27
Vietnam using life cycle assessments (LCAs), with the purpose of evaluating the
28
comparative eco-efficiency of producing different aquatic food products. Our
29
starting hypothesis was that different production systems are associated with
30
significantly different environmental impacts, as the production of these aquatic
31
species differs in intensity and management practices. In order to test this
32
hypothesis, we estimated the systems global warming, eutrophication and
33
freshwater ecotoxicity impacts. The contribution to these impacts and the overall
34
dispersions relative to results were propagated using Monte Carlo simulations and
35
dependent sampling. Paired testing showed significant (p
