In 2016 reached an all-time high of 171 million tonnes

88 percent utilized for direct human consumption
Thanks to:
Stable capture fisheries production,
Reduced wastage and

Underfished (7%)
Maximally Sustainably Fished (59.9%) – new term
Overfished (33.1%)
Continues to show worrying trends:
Overfished stocks increased to 33.1 percent in 2015
Stocks fished within biologically sustainable levels decreased to 66.9 percent
The global picture masks clear signs of recovery in developed, but not in developing countries
This regional sustainability divide constitutes a major challenge to achieving SDG14.4 (By 2020 all stocks at MSY level)

Exports for human consumption
35% of all fish products enter the international trade
Exports value of US$143 billion (54% for Developing countries, by value)
Net trade revenue for developing countries (US$37 billion) exceeds that of all
meats, tobacco, rice, sugar combined
Fish exports (in volume) in 2016 represent a 245 percent increase over 1976
Fish Trade and Commodities
Employment in fisheries and aquaculture
10-12% of the world’s population relies on fisheries for their livelihood
Total Capture fisheries
Global capture fisheries and aquaculture production, 1990-2030
2030 Capture production 91 mT (1% growth from 2016)
Aquaculture 109 mT (37% growth from 2016)
Consumption 21.5 kg/capita (5.9% growth)
Fish production, consumption and trade.
Aquaculture anticipated to fill the supply–demand gap. But its growth rate will slow down over time.
Prices will in nominal terms while in real terms.
Food fish supply, but per capita fish consumption in Africa, which raises food security concerns.
