Abstract

The contribution of the fisheries and aquaculture sector to food security and livelihoods is significant, providing millions of people with food, nutrition, income and employment, while supporting economic development through harvesting, processing and marketing (FAO, 2024). Globally, aquatic foods provide about 17% of animal protein, extending over 50 percent in several countries in Asia and Africa. The sector employs an estimated 58.5 million people in primary production alone, approximately 21 percent women. In 2021, total fisheries and aquaculture production worldwide reached 218 million tonnes (mt) (2% increase from last year), (mostly because of the growth of aquaculture in Asia and of capture fisheries in the Americas), comprising 182 mt of aquatic animals and 36 mt of algae. Out of the total production of aquatic animals, 91.2 mt accounted from capture fisheries and 90.9 mt was contributed by aquaculture sector (FAO, 2024). This shift signifies a significant change from a historically capture fishery dominant industry to a 50:50 share. This trend suggests that aquaculture is playing/will play an increasingly important role in meeting global fish/seafood demands.
