Introduction
Continental view of capture fisheries and culture production by environment in 2001 Asia dominates production both from capture fisheries and culture viewpoints (Figure 1.2.5). Inland capture fisheries production from Asia was 5.8 million tonnes; Africa ranked second with 2.1 million tonnes. Inland capture fisheries production from Europe and South America was 0.3 million tonnes, each, and in North America 0.2 million tonnes. Inland capture fisheries from Oceania produced 22 thousand tonnes in 2001. In Asia, China dominates fish production accounting for 83 percent of mariculture, 78 percent of freshwater culture, 37 percent each of marine and inland capture fisheries, and 17 percent of brackishwater culture (Figure 1.2.6). Fish production from inland waters - inland capture fisheries and freshwater and brackishwater aquaculture production In inland waters fish and other other aquatic animal production can come from capture fisheries, or from brackishwater or freshwater aquac...
Summary
Evolution of capture fisheries and culture in global time series World total inland capture fisheries production reported to FAO reached 8.7 million tonnes in 2001, down slightly from 8.8 million tonnes in 2000. It is important to note at the outset that actual catches overall may be at least twice the quantities reported to FAO, and for some countries underreporting could be even greater (FAO, 1999). Inland capture fisheries accounted for 6.1 percent of the total (capture fisheries and culture) global production. This compares with 59.8 percent (85 million tonnes) from marine capture fisheries of which about 31 million tonnes were used for reduction to meal and other non-food purposes and 34.1 percent (48.4 million tonnes) from aquaculture, including plants and animals (Figure 1.2.1). Long-term trends, from 1950 to the present, show increases for all three categories; however, production from marine capture fisheries has leveled off in recent years while aquaculture has rapidly ...
