Formula
Total investment = Σ financial value of qualifying investments in new technologies or practices aimed at reducing environmental impacts of aquaculture production.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. A.A23.1 specifies a separately reportable monetary outcome: the financial value invested in qualifying technologies or practices. It is not the same construct as general nature-related technology-development investment because it includes practices and is explicitly bounded to aquaculture production and environmental-impact reduction.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Disclose the financial-reporting currency used.
- Disclose the criteria used to determine whether an investment qualifies as a new technology or practice.
- Disclose the aquaculture production activities covered.
- Disclose the environmental impacts the investments are intended to reduce.
- Disclose the accounting treatment and valuation basis used for investment value.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric captures investment value, not the environmental outcome or impact reduction achieved.
- Comparability may be affected by differing accounting capitalization, expense recognition and investment-eligibility criteria.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
