Fishery and aquaculture statistics 2019

Ensuring responsible and sustainable fisheries management around the world requires standardized, reliable, and up-to-date information for sound decision-making. FAO, as the only repository for global fishery and aquaculture data, regularly collects and analyses these statistics. The FAO Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics Yearbook contains all the most updated data on capture production, fleet, and employment; aquaculture production; commodities; and food balance sheets. This booklet provides general notes and summaries for each.
