Title: FAO presentation on commodity trade development [15/09/2007]
Source: www.globefish.org
By Ms. Helga Josupeit (FIIU-FAO)
Worldwide fishery production continues to increase, but at lower growth rates than some years before. In 2003, some decline was experienced, as a result of lower capture fisheries, however in 2004 and 2005 production continued to expand even further.

With wild fish stocks increasingly being fully fished or overfished, this growth is mainly due to aquaculture production. In fact, aquaculture production grew at an average rate of 9 percent since 1970, while capture production remained relatively stable at values around 90 million tons since the Nineties. By 2005, the share of aquaculture accounted for about one third of total production and almost 43% of food fish production.
