In 2020, aquaculture accounted for just 8 percent of total production, a slight increase compared with 3.7 percent in 1990. Explore the easy-to-navigate digital version of the SOFIA 2022 report. In the 26 low-income countries reporting aquaculture data (0.86 billion population), mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, aquaculture development has made limited progress in terms of its contribution to total fisheries production. NOTES: Data exclude shells and pearls. Production of other farmed aquatic animal species reached 17.7 million tonnes of molluscs (USD 29.8 billion) mostly bivalves, 11.2 million tonnes of crustaceans (USD 81.5 billion), 525 000 tonnes of aquatic invertebrates (USD 2.5 billion) and 537 000 tonnes of semi-aquatic species including turtles and frogs (USD 5 billion). Atlantic salmon, with its production of 2.7 million tonnes in 2020, accounted for a high 32.6 percent of marine and coastal aquaculture of all finfish species. Skip to header tools and search; Skip to navigation; Skip to content; More Less Advanced Search Data in Table 7 illustrate the global distribution of aquaculture production by region, reflecting the lingering situation of dominance by a small number of major producers at the global, regional and subregional levels. Despite the great diversity in farmed aquatic species, only a small number of staple species dominate aquaculture production, (Table 10). The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.

In 2020, farmed finfish reached 57.5 million tonnes (USD 146.1 billion), including 49.1 million tonnes (USD 109.8 billion) from inland aquaculture and 8.3 million tonnes (USD 36.2 billion) from mariculture in the sea and coastal aquaculture on the shore. The picture of mariculture and coastal aquaculture production of the main species groups, disaggregated by region is presented in Table 8. Some middle-income countries dominate inland aquaculture production of finfish species. NOTES: = data unavailable, or no production. In the largest producing region, Asia, growth in the period 19902020 has been relatively steady in the major aquaculture countries, although with decreasing growth rates. They include 494 individual species, 7 finfish hybrids, 94 groups of species identified at genus level and 57 groups of species identified at family or higher levels. NOTE: Data in thousand tonnes expressed in live weight equivalent. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) is the biennial flagship report of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division that analyses the status of global stocks as well as trends in fisheries and aquaculture at a global and regional level. The estimated total farm gate value was USD 281.5 billion in 2020, an increase of USD 18.5 billion from 2018 and USD 6.7 billion from 2019. However, in coastal areas in Africa, joint efforts (such as setting up internationally owned hatcheries) to accelerate development in marine molluscs farming represent a realistic option for increasing aquatic food12 production. This represents an increase of 6.7 million tonnes from 115.9 million tonnes in 2018. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal. In 2020, non-fed production of animal species was 24.3 million tonnes, comprising 8.2 million tonnes of filter-feeding finfish reared in inland aquaculture (mainly silver carp and bighead carp) and 16.2 million tonnes of aquatic invertebrates, mainly marine bivalves (Figure 21). Other regions have had relatively fluctuating growth in the same period, experiencing negative growth in some years (Figure 14). It presents how these and other equally important United Nations events, such as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022), are being integrated and supported through Blue Transformation, a priority area of FAOs new Strategic Framework 20222031 designed to accelerate achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in food and agriculture. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. Significant growth in aquaculture has driven global fisheries and aquaculture production to a record high as aquatic foods make an increasingly critical contribution to food security and nutrition in the 21st century, according to a report from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) released a few days ago. striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), 26.5 percent from Clariidae (e.g. In multi-species polyculture systems practised in inland and coastal aquaculture, feeds intended for fed species also directly benefit filter-feeding species, especially when feeds in powder form are used or pellet feeds are low in water stability and dissolve quickly. Using the World Banks income level classification, the period 19902020 witnessed rapid development in aquaculture in 51 of the lower-middle-income countries and 53 of the upper-middle-income countries reporting aquaculture production. Other noteworthy international fisheries events in 2022 include the following, noting that dates and modalities may change due to the COVID-19 pandemic: The One Ocean Summit France, which holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU from January to June 2022, will host this gathering of heads of state and international leaders from 9 to 11 February in Brest. SOFIA is a critical reference for governments, policy makers, academics, civil society and all actors working in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. However, the development status and composition pattern of non-finfish groups differ greatly from region to region. In 2020, the production of air-breathing fishes was 6.2 million tonnes and the share was 12.6 percent, a slight drop from 2019 due mainly to the drop in production in Viet Nam (Figure 22). The occasion, will be marked by celebrations around the world, and FAO has scheduled a rich programme of events to promote the importance of fisheries and aquaculture, and to address some of the challenges that it faces. Scaling up ocean action based on science and innovation for the implementation of Goal 14: Stocktaking, partnerships and solutions, focusing on fish value chains, with participation by the FAO. However, there are huge differences in the level of aquaculture development between countries within Asia. The latest statistics compiled by FAO, based on national reports and estimates for non-reporting countries, cover all aquaculture productions worldwide in a 71-year period (19502020) under 652 units technically known as species items an increase from the 622 reported in the 2020 edition of The State of World Aquaculture and Fisheries. The 2nd United Nations Ocean Conference 2022 will be held in Lisbon from 27 June to 1 July, seeking to propel science-based innovative solutions for global oceans, this event will be co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal. At the 34th Session in February 2021, FAO Members endorsed the COFI Declaration for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, which outlines a vision of how aquatic natural resources can be used more sustainably and effectively, to attain global food security and nutrition. Pen culture production in China includes some Chinese mitten crab. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. Data expressed in live weight equivalent. NOTE: Data in million tonnes expressed in live weight equivalent. Production of the main groups of farmed species differs significantly across regions and countries. This contribution varies greatly among and within regions (Figure 16). me freight, and efforts to combat plastic pollution and sea-level rise. In common with the UN Oceans Forum, the overarching theme will be SDG 14, in this case: Scaling up ocean action based on science and innovation for the implementation of Goal 14: Stocktaking, partnerships and solutions. This years report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. It presents how these and other equally important United Nations events, such as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022), are being integrated and supported through Blue Transformation, a priority area of FAOs new Strategic Framework 20222031 designed to accelerate achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in food and agriculture. Lastly, the report takes a close look at the complementing policies, within and outside agrifood systems, that are important to support repurposing efforts and at the political economy factors and dynamics that hamper or facilitate repurposing efforts. Also committed to the sustainable use of living marine resources and the sustainable development of aquaculture, specifically in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean. Part 4 covers current and high impact emerging issues COVID-19, climate change and gender equality that require thorough consideration for transformative steps and preparedness to secure sustainable, efficient and equitable fisheries and aquaculture, and finally draws some outlook on future trends based on projections. together representatives from the ocean community, businesses, scientists, government, investors and civil society, : shipping, fishing, aquaculture, energy, tourism, organized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, will explore trade-related aspects of, Transitioning to a sustainable ocean economy to facilitate post-COVID-19 recovery and foster resilience, hosted by the Republic of Palau and the United, s on six areas of action: advancing marine protected areas for communities, ecosystems, and climate; tackling marine pollution; confronting the ocean-climate crisis or towards an ocean solution for climate change; creating sustainable blue economies; advancing sustainable small-scale fisheries and aquaculture; and achieving a safe just and secure ocean, eeking to propel science-based innovative solutions for global oceans, thi. (FAO) report presents findings of five regional and four national reports. Produced every two years to provide policy-makers, academics, civil society and those whose livelihoods depend on the sector with a comprehensive, objective, and global view of capture fisheries and aquaculture, the official launch will be held in mid-2022. The operation and practices vary greatly in terms of input intensity, level of technological and management sophistication and degree of integration with other farm activities. Marine shrimps dominate the production of crustaceans from coastal aquaculture in brackish-water ponds. Illustrations and interactive graphs highlight the SOFIA 2022 key findings. The uneven distribution in aquaculture production and the disparity in aquaculture development status across regions and among countries in the same region have not shown significant improvement for decades. Although filter-feeding carps were introduced in some African countries in the 1950s and 1960s for aquaculture, they did not take off and faded before the arrival of the new millennium to be replaced by locally favourable tilapias and catfishes. The Declaration calls for support for an evolving and positive vision for fisheries and aquaculture in the twenty-first century, where the sector is fully recognized for its contribution to fighting poverty, hunger and malnutrition. In this context, Part 1 of this edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture reviews the world status of fisheries and aquaculture, while Parts 2 and 3 are devoted to Blue Transformation and its pillars on intensifying and expanding aquaculture, improving fisheries management and innovating fisheries and aquaculture value chains. Figure 15 presents the distribution patterns among leading producers or subregions for comparison of selected main species groups. Blue Transformation emphasizes the need for forward-looking and bold actions to be launched or accelerated in coming years to achieve the objectives of the Declaration and in support of the 2030 Agenda. However, the net increase of 2.3 million tonnes in the same period was comparable to some years in the last decade. Aquatic foods are contributing more than ever before to global food security and nutrition, says the FAO. It is relatively easy to separate mariculture and coastal aquaculture of crustaceans, molluscs and other marine invertebrates based on the biological characteristics of these species and the culture methods adopted to rear them. As in past editions, the analysis of status and trends in aquaculture development relies on, though is not limited to, FAO's global aquaculture production data of 1950-2020 released in March 2022, including data adjustment for some back years for some countries as per routine standard statistical practices. The growth rate reduced further to 3.3 percent per year in the most recent years (20152020). Additional details of world aquaculture growth are presented in Table 6. However, its contribution would be even lower without the 40.1 percent decrease in capture production in the same period (from 38.1 million tonnes to 22.8 million tonnes). These countries, such as Egypt in Africa, and Bangladesh and Viet Nam in Asia, set successful examples for aquaculture development in other countries with similar conditions and where potential exists for aquaculture development. address some of the challenges that it faces.

A stocktaking of the most predominant food and agricultural policy support currently in place around the world is presented to better understand the amount of support, the activities and actors mostly supported (or, on the contrary, penalized), and the pathways through which this support is pushing up the relative cost of nutritious foods and promoting unhealthy diets. How does international price volatility affect domestic economies and food insecurity? Studies on aquatic genetic resources and biodiversity should consider these limitations when using FAOs aquaculture data, whose original purpose is to monitor aquaculture development as an economic sector of agriculture. The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World is an annual flagship report jointly prepared by FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO to inform on progress towards ending hunger, achieving food security and improving nutrition and to provide in depth analysis on key challenges for achieving this goal in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Aquaculture development has exhibited different fluctuating patterns in growth among regions. The report says the growth of . The concept of Blue Transformation emerged from the Thirty-fourth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries in February 2021, and in particular the Declaration for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, which was negotiated and endorsed by all FAO Members. Out of 61 producing countries and territories reporting algae cultivation, FAO collected official production data from 36 of them; their combined production was 34.7 million tonnes, or 98 percent of world production in 2020. These countries include New Zealand (86.9 percent), France (75.4 percent), Spain (74.8 percent), the Republic of Korea (69.7 percent), Italy (61.6 percent) and Japan (51.8 percent), against a world average of 18.4 percent. It presents how these and other equally important United Nations events . Illustrations and interactive graphs highlight the SOFI 2022 key findings. Also, brackish-water aquaculture in constructed ponds on seashores in coastal areas classified nationally or locally in some places as inland aquaculture is treated in this report as coastal aquaculture. All other regions experienced continued growth in 2020. Regions such as Africa have not experienced aquaculture development of non-fed species. The 35th Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) will be held in Rome from 5 to 9 September 2022. Together with a further 23 individual species, they contributed 78.7 percent to total finfish production from inland aquaculture. A key recommendation is that governments must start rethinking how they can reallocate their existing public budgets to make them more cost-effective and efficient in reducing the cost of nutritious foods and increasing the availability and affordability of healthy diets, sustainably and leaving no one behind. Asia produces more from aquaculture (61.9 percent) than from capture, and when the top producer is excluded in each region, Asia still has a high aquaculture share of 44.7 percent. The report targets a wide audience, including policy-makers, international organizations, academic institutions and the general public. Therefore, the border between fed and non-fed species under certain conditions becomes less clear-cut. About 30 different air-breathing fishes and their hybrids are raised in inland aquaculture worldwide. The World Ocean SummitThe 9th annual summit on Achieving 2030 Targets will be held virtually from 1 to 4 March. NOTES: = no production or production data unavailable. IOA began during 2003 with the aim of producing 4000 tonnes per annum of export quality Black Tiger prawns to both the European and US markets. North African catfish, Clarias gariepinus) and 10.5 percent from Channidae (e.g. IOA is the first aquaculture operation in the Province of Cabo Delgado Mozambique. In the 67 high-income countries reporting aquaculture data (1.32 billion population), although aquaculture production more than doubled reaching 6.8 million tonnes in 2020 from 3.1 million tonnes in 1990, its contribution to total fisheries and aquaculture production was just 23 percent in 2020 (up from 7.6 percent in 1990).

The 2022 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture coincides with the launch of the Decade of Action to deliver the Global Goals, the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Global cultivation of algae, dominated by marine macroalgae known as seaweeds, grew by half a million tonnes in 2020, up by 1.4 percent from 34.6 million tonnes in 2019. In the Philippines and Indonesia, cage and pen culture (including enclosures) in rivers, lakes and reservoirs has been undergoing significant development for decades. Coastal aquaculture, typically practised in constructed ponds onshore or in intertidal zones, plays an important role in livelihoods, employment and economic development among coastal communities in many developing countries particularly in Asia and Latin America. A key event in 2022 will be publication of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Divisions flagship report, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA). With a mission to promote the long-term sustainable development, utilization, conservation, restoration and responsible management of European inland fisheries and aquaculture, consistent with the objectives and principles of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission (EIFAAC) will be holding its 31st Session in Killarney, Ireland, from 22 to 24 June. A similar event will be organized, Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. Countries such as Mongolia, Timor-Leste and some countries in Central and West Asia are in need of accelerated aquaculture development to exploit their aquaculture potential. A key event in 2022 will be publication of the, FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Divisions flagship, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA), civil society and those whose livelihoods depend on the sector, and global view of capture fisheries and aquaculture, With a mission to promote the long-term sustainable development, utilization, conservation, restoration and responsible management of European inland fisheries and aquaculture, consistent with the objectives and principles of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the, European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission, , established in 1957 as a statutory body of FAO, is the United Nations intergovernmental forum for fisheries and aquaculture, where global challenges are discussed, Declaration for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, outlines a vision of how aquatic natural resources can be used more sustainably and effectively, to attain. The virtual session will be proceeded by a Written Correspondence Procedure in April. At the species or species group level, to distinguish between inland and coastal aquaculture and to take into account the type of water used, FAO corrected omissions in statistical details in official data that were questionable or available in highly aggregated form in line with internationally established standards of classification and identification. The 2020 editions theme was Sustainability in action, and you can read that report here. COFI is the United Nations intergovernmental forum for fisheries and aquaculture, where global challenges are discussed, and solutions identified.

The total aquaculture production comprised 87.5 million tonnes of aquatic animals mostly for use as human food, 35.1 million tonnes of algae10 for both food and non-food uses, 700 tonnes of shells and pearls for ornamental use, reaching a total of 122.6 million tonnes in live weight in 2020 (Figure 13). With its projections, FAO explains that growth in the aquaculture sector recovered from last year, by 2.9 percent, to 92.2 million tonnes. Digital report | Full report | In brief | E-Book MOBI/EPUB. In 2020, aquaculture contributed 61.7 percent to total production in upper-middle-income countries (2.76 billion population), up from 19.8 percent in 1990. For Egypt, total finfish production in inland aquaculture refers to total national aquaculture production. Many developing countries, in particular low-income countries, face great challenges to achieve their national aspirations of aquaculture development in support of national food production to feed and create jobs for their growing populations. The retroactive adjustments concern certain data-poor countries, but do not modify the conclusions on a global and regional scale reported in The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020.

The . As in past editions, the analysis of status and trends in aquaculture development relies on, though is not limited to, FAOs global aquaculture production data of 19502020 released in March 2022, including data adjustment for some back years for some countries as per routine standard statistical practices. World aquaculture production of animal species grew by 2.7 percent in 2020 compared with 2019, an all-time low rate of annual growth in over 40 years. Topics on the agenda will include. Limitation in the process of data collection does not enable the FAO statistics to capture all the necessary details. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively. 30 June 2022, at 12:01am. The report acknowledges the current recessionary context, which makes it even more challenging for many governments to increase their budgets to invest in the agrifood systems transformation that their countries need to achieve SDG 2. Some provinces still grant a limited number of licenses based on the carrying capacity assessment of the waterbodies, but the permit process prioritizes environmental and conservation issues over the economic value of the remaining cage culture operations. Hence, the report then takes a deep dive into how governments are supporting the food and agriculture sector through policies, and based on evidence, it provides recommendations. Aquaculture in the rest of Africa enjoyed a double-digit growth of 14.5 percent reaching 396 700 tonnes in 2020 from 346 400 tonnes in 2019. Asia has overwhelmingly dominated world aquaculture for decades, producing 91.6 percent of global aquatic animals and algae in 2020. Some major producing countries including China and Japan experienced growth in 2020, while seaweed harvests decreased in Southeast Asia and the Republic of Korea. In 2020, global inland aquaculture production was 54.4 million tonnes, accounting for 44.4 percent of the world total aquaculture production of animal species and algae, and inland farming of aquatic animal species represented 62.2 percent of total aquaculture production. Data may not match with totals due to rounding. In 2020, global production of marine and coastal aquaculture was 68.1 million tonnes, including 33.1 million tonnes of aquatic animals and 35 million tonnes of algae. regional fisheries management organization was established in 1949 as a statutory body of FAO. Pemba, Mozambique. In China, one of the focuses of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan (20162020) was to green natural resource-based economic activities in the country, including aquaculture, especially in inland areas. Cage culture and, to a lesser extent, pen culture are also widely used in inland aquaculture, but their relative importance varies greatly among countries. Finfish farming remained steady with minimal fluctuation around 66 percent and accounting for the largest share of world aquaculture for decades. Worldwide data on inland cage and pen culture are unavailable. Part 4 covers current and high-impact emerging issues COVID-19, climate change and gender equality that require thorough consideration for transformative steps and preparedness to secure sustainable, efficient and equitable fisheries and aquaculture, and finally draws some outlook on future trends based on projections.
