Capture fishery production

Fisheries have a crucial role in feeding the global population. The global capture fisheries has increased over the last 50 years as the consumption of seafood has doubled. This has increased pressure on fish stocks across the world. According to the State of World Fishery and Aquaculture 2020 (FAO 2020), the global capture fisheries production rose 14% from 1990 to 2018 and in 2018 it reached 96.4million tons. 

Here, we show capture fisheries production  that measures the volume of fish catches landed by a country for all commercial, industrial, recreational and subsistence purposes (in tons), for the period 2017-2020.
