Statistical Data Related to Aquaculture
Statistical data in aquaculture reveal a significant rise in production over the past few decades. According to the FAO, global aquaculture output increased by over 500% since 1990, with Asia accounting for nearly 90% of total production. China leads as the top producer, generating over 60 million tons annually. As of 2023, aquaculture represents more than 50% of global seafood production, overtaking wild capture fisheries. Growth is also notable in species diversification, with tilapia, carp, and salmon among the top farmed fish. These numbers underscore the sector's essential role in meeting global protein needs, especially as the global population grows. Increased data collection and reporting are essential for managing sustainable practices and ensuring long-term growth.
