Major growth was observed in North Africa (from 2.9 kg per capita to 14.7 kg per capita between 1961 and 2017), while per capita fish consumption has remained static or decreased in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent high-profile publications related to plastic litter in the sea have put the issue at the forefront of marine environmental problems. The Antarctic fishing areas (areas 48, 58 and 88) reported their highest catches since the early 1990s, at 331 000 tonnes. There is a strong need for developing countries to invest in the capacity to collect, compile and analyse data in fully integrated systems. Stocks of American cupped oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in the Gulf of Mexico are now experiencing overfishing. [Cited 20 December 2019]. In addition, fishers, and fish processors and vendors (many of whom are women), are exposed to a greater risk of infection, as they have close contact with others at all stages of the value chain (CFFA, 2020). On how to secure sustainable fisheries livelihoods: ▸ Highlight the contribution and support the role of fisheries, in particular small-scale fisheries, in income, culture, and food security and nutrition. A number of factors explain this tendency. Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication: Facts and figures. 395 pp. Abuses have been reported in fish processing plants and on board fishing vessels, where working conditions are more difficult to monitor. 65. Since 2004, Norway has been the second major exporter, now followed by Viet Nam, which has become the third major exporter since 2014. The heavy productive work burden is coupled with the unpaid reproductive work burden within the household (child bearing and rearing; household maintenance, including cooking and fetching water and fuelwood; and caring for old and sick family members) and the community-level work burden resulting in a triple work burden for women working in agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture. However, this increase, together with the expansion of aquaculture production (by 48 percent in 2030 compared with 2018) and capture fisheries production (by 5 percent), will only partially compensate for the population growth. An estimated 97 percent of all these fishworkers live in developing countries, with many small-scale fishing communities experiencing high levels of poverty and being overlooked with regard both to resource management and from a broader social and economic development perspective. While FAO has recorded only seven finfish hybrids in commercial production, the number of hybrids farmed is much greater. [online]. fishing vessel operations, landing, product splits and processing). Fish bones, in addition to being a source of collagen and gelatine, are also an excellent source of calcium and other minerals such as phosphorus, which can be used in food, feed or food supplements. Together with the appraisal of adaptation, there is a focus on mainstreaming climate change adaptation in fisheries/aquaculture policy and planning. This can indicate the extent to which these factors will exert influence on the degree to which a catchment can support inland fisheries activities (FAO, 2018f). 2 Of the 34 countries where fish contributes more than one third of total animal protein supply, 18 are LIFDCs, and 5 are SIDS, where fish serves as the backbone to healthy diets. ▸ Recognize the role of women and prioritize achieving gender equality across the value chain, including decision-making. Fisheries administrations actively contribute to the IHH study by completing an FAO ad hoc survey on small-scale fisheries that will feed into both national case studies and global synthesis. iMarine provides an innovative platform for data-sharing agreements with these external actors (iMarine, 2019a), for example, in the context of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction. Given the global nature of the SDGs, SDG Indicator 14.7.1 was developed to be applicable to as many countries as possible with minimal additional reporting requirements for countries while still using internationally accepted inputs for all aspects of its calculation. In 2018, the average value of imports of fish and fish products by developing countries was USD 1.6 per kilogram (live weight equivalent), while the corresponding figure for developed countries was USD 3.4 per kilogram. [Cited 18 December 2019]. Distribution of motorized and non-motorized fishing vessels by region, 2018, 16. 2018. FAO. However, anecdotal evidence from various developing countries indicates that the number of accidents has been increasing and that the issue of safety at sea is being inadequately dealt with. Moreover, once depleted, their recovery is long and not assured. 90 pp. ▸ Of the 120 million people who depend on capture fisheries, 116 million work in developing countries. However, decreases in food losses and waste along the value chain coupled with a decline in the use of fish products in animal feeds also mean more fish is available for consumption. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. Cheshire, A., Nayar, S. & Roos, G. 2019. FIGURE 12AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION OF MAJOR PRODUCING REGIONS AND MAJOR PRODUCERS OF MAIN SPECIES GROUPS, 2003–2018. R1307/FAO Rapport sur les pêches et l’aquaculture no. By leading the celebration of this international year, FAO aims to focus world attention on the key role that small-scale fishers, fish farmers and fishworkers can play in food security and nutrition, and poverty eradication, and for the urgency to improve their management, with the ambition to increase understanding, awareness and action to support them. Rome. The GPA is being developed over a two-year period in consultation with COFI and its subsidiary bodies for negotiation by the Intergovernmental Technical Working Group on AqGR in September 2020, prior to presentation to the Commission in early 2021. Inland rivers, lakes and floodplains support even more fishers, processors and traders than do marine sectors, often as a crucial component of a complex and seasonally variable livelihood. Published in 2019, The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture report (FAO, 2019a) highlights the current and future potential for diversification in species and “farmed types” (cultured fish types below species level), as well as interactions between cultured species and their wild relatives. Live, fresh or chilled fish still represented the largest share (44 percent) of fish utilized for direct human consumption as being often the most preferred and highly priced form of fish. and Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) are likely to be overfished, but anchovies (Engraulidae), hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha), Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), scads (Decapterus spp. Progressed water shader and climate framework, with practical climate information from the zone. One key area for restoring the sustainability of fishery resources during the last decade, as also emphasized by the SDGs, has been combating IUU fishing. In some cases, the AIS-based data provided novel sources of data, and this collaborative work has led to data improvements for the FAO dataset and helped refine estimates of the total number of vessels of more than 24 m LOA. The main reason for this decline is the growth of Africa’s population outpacing the growth in supply. Aquaculture is being promoted as a significant growth sector, and as an activity that can empower women and young people, notably by facilitating women’s decision-making on the consumption and provision of nutritious food (FAO, 2017). charts, maps or text) to be embedded in enriched information products. Innovative green technologies of intensification for valorization of seafood and their by-products. Moreover, the Code provides the guidance needed to shape how to address new and emerging issues in fisheries, such as sustainable aquaculture development, ocean degradation, social responsibility, biodiversity conservation and climate change. It is also important to frame adaptation in the wider context to understand whether it is a stand-alone application policy or investment, or part of a broader initiative that might require mainstreaming (integration). While a number of heavily traded fish product items such as tilapia and lobster have been included on the list of tariffs of both countries, it is the wider economic impact and general uncertainty that have ultimately been the primary drivers of a growth slowdown, not only in China and the United States of America, but globally. Others have not been able to complete all necessary seasonal tasks such as fish breeding. For example, the Overview section of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture – informed by FAO’s indicators built on this knowledge base – is the highest-rated section of this FAO flagship publication. For example, in October 2019, the International Labour Organization (ILO) joined the Joint FAO/IMO Ad Hoc Working Group on IUU Fishing and Related Matters as a full member. However, their inclusion rates in compound feeds for aquaculture have shown a clear downward trend, largely as a result of supply and price variation coupled with continuously increasing demand from the aquafeed industry. These workshops will be succeeded by projects such as Glo-Litter (part of a development programme with Norway and the IMO) and specific actions to support States to implement measures and tools to prevent and reduce ALDFG. Reviews in Aquaculture, 11: 493–514. After reaching a historical maximum of about 2 million tonnes in the mid-1980s, total landings in the Mediterranean and Black Sea declined to a low of 1.1 million tonnes in 2014, and since 2015 have been about 1.3 million tonnes per year. National fisheries administrations should understand the different tenure options and their respective trade-offs. [Cited 27 March 2020]. Having been on a declining trend for many years, this figure been rising since 2014. Since the release of the Global Record Information System at the Thirty-third Session of the Committee on Fisheries (July 2018), participation in the initiative has increased steadily, particularly in the FAO Regions of Europe, North America and, Latin America and the Caribbean. These practices include thematic risk and monitoring dynamic maps, and a certification programme that indicates the commitment of fishing communities to sustainable fisheries (including climate change adaptation). The PSMA aims to prevent fish caught through IUU fishing from entering national and international markets by prohibiting the entry into and use of ports by foreign vessels engaged, or suspected to be engaged, in IUU fishing. A fundamental requirement for productive fisheries is maintenance of the biodiversity that offers natural systems resilience against changing conditions. Do you have the stuff to satisfy this difficult undertaking? Africa accounts for 25 percent of the global inland captures, where they represent an important source of food security, particularly in the case of landlocked and low-income countries. Analogous species- and area-based conservation is ongoing within RFMO/As, which may have mandates that cover waters both within and beyond national jurisdiction.23 Specific to the deep seas, the United Nations General Assembly has adopted a series of resolutions24 calling on high seas fishing nations to take urgent action to protect VMEs from destructive fishing practices. Estimation of the indicator from classic stock assessment outputs. The key challenge with all these innovations is to combine data across data providers and countries and analyse them in a consistent way. In addition, there is evidence of beneficial effects of fish consumption on mental health and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, stroke and age-related macular degeneration. www.ourgssi.org/gssi-recognized-certifcation/. General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean. The growing importance of regional trade flows has been facilitated by a steady increase in the number of regional trade agreements since the 1990s. 2013. They should also provide the technical basis for a Declaration on Fisheries Sustainability to be tabled at the Thirty-fourth Session of COFI. It can be used to record, track and monitor physical and digital assets in fish supply chains. As per FAO’s mandate, work on fisheries and aquaculture management is centred around the Code and its related international agreements, strategies, guidelines and plans of action. The combination of overfishing and variability in environmental conditions (e.g. A number of factors should contribute to this slowdown.28 These include: broader adoption and enforcement of environmental regulations; reduced availability of water and suitable production locations; increasing outbreaks of aquatic animal diseases related to intensive production practices; and decreasing aquaculture productivity gains. 628 pp. TABLE 18 PROJECTED FISH TRADE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION (live weight equivalent). Relative contribution of aquaculture and capture fisheries to fish available for human consumption, 28. Wellington. (also available at www.fao.org/3/ca4891en/ca4891en.pdf). In the particular case of traceability in fish value chains, the inherent challenges of the sector and the opportunities offered by the technology need to be taken into account when developing business cases, with careful cost–benefit analysis building on well-designed decision models (FAO and ITU, 2019; Litan, 2019) in order to determine whether blockchain-based solutions are the best choice when compared with existing electronic traceability systems. [Cited 19 March 2020]. TABLE 10AQUACULTURE FISH PRODUCTION IN REGIONS, AND BY SELECTED MAJOR PRODUCERS (thousand tonnes;1 percentage of world total). The farmed shrimp sector, which now supplies the majority of volume to the global market, has also suffered from the impact of disease outbreaks and price variations associated with the boom-and-bust cycle. 30 pp. Assessing progress in reducing discards is a challenge because no coherent time series of discard rates at the global level can be constructed on the basis of the series of FAO assessments. It provides technical assistance to stakeholders to improve fisheries governance and management and value-chain performance through implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries and other relevant guidelines of the Code. As part of this process, efforts to empower organizations that support the development of fishing and aquaculture communities and fish processors are key areas of focus. It seeks to do so by drawing on science-based advice, stakeholder engagement and regional cooperation, and by relying on a system of agreed rules and regulations coupled with an appropriate monitoring, surveillance and enforcement system. Food Research International, 39: 383–393. The output of fisheries and aquaculture produces lower greenhouse emissions for the equivalent nutrition than do most agricultural food systems. International fish prices were about 3 percent lower, on average, in 2019 compared with the previous year (Figure 34). 2019k. However, after 5 years of uneven progress and with less than 10 years to go, and despite progress in many areas, it is clear that action to meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required. is the largest in the world. While past innovations focused on hardware and data collection, the problem is now the pressure on farmers to consistently interpret the large amount of data. Yet, as we approach a world of 10 billion people, we face the fact that since 2015 the numbers of undernourished and malnourished people have been growing. Europe and North America are characterized by a fish trade deficit. The share of aquaculture in Asian fish production (excluding China) rose to 42 percent in 2018, up from 19.3 percent in 2000 (Figure 10). The commitments covered issues such as: community empowerment in managing marine resources; improving access to coastal fishing grounds; improving human and institutional capacity; and transfer of fishing technologies. planning, monitoring and pilots. In these evolving situations, achieving successful aquaculture is complicated by the physiology of the animals (e.g. Increasing consumer awareness of sustainability, legality, safety and quality issues is driving demand for traceability systems and certification schemes of a growing range of fish and fish products. Guided by its Members and with concern to respond to global societal demand, FAO has developed a wide range of data and information products in order to establish baselines, monitor changes, and support decision-making. UTILIZATION OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION, 1962-2018, UTILIZATION OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION, 1962–2018. 2020. The workshops revealed that the reporting process is helpful in understanding needs and opportunities for moving towards securing sustainable small-scale fisheries, and identifying actions and processes for implementing the SSF Guidelines. Input suppliers could feel the main impact in the coming months as businesses may close their operations or delay restocking. In West Africa, up to one-quarter of jobs are linked to fisheries, and the sector contributes essential protein and micronutrients to national diets. Parties to the PSMA have recognized the importance of access to such basic information in order to fulfil the requirements of the PSMA, and consequently proposed the establishment of a global information exchange system (GIES) to facilitate the sharing of information relevant to the PSMA. Overall, 45 percent of assessed stocks in the Pacific Southeast are being fished within sustainable levels. Artisanal fishers are linked to consumers through a vast intraregional trading network, of fresh, salted, dried or smoked fish, in which women play a central role. Contributing to food security and nutrition for all, pp. The effectiveness of area-based management measures depends on the mobility of the species involved. However, because of government policies introduced since 2016, fish farming in China grew by only 2.2 percent and 1.6 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture: synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options, pp. Rome, FAO. www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2020/04/22/world-bank-predicts-sharpest-decline-of-remittances-in-recent-history, Some rights reserved. OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook [online]. In addition to Egypt, Nigeria has increased its aquaculture production significantly to become the second major producer in Africa, although the share of Africa is still low at about 2.7 percent of world aquaculture production. FAO is supporting its Members by raising awareness about the role that spatial fishery management measures can have in increasing the health, productivity and resilience of aquatic ecosystems. Finfish (7.3 million tonnes) and crustaceans (5.7 million tonnes) taken together were responsible for 42.5 percent, while the rest consisted of other aquatic animals. In 2017, the Sixteenth Session of the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (in Busan, the Republic of Korea) welcomed the inclusion of social sustainability on the agenda. However, to date, there has been no international document focusing specifically on social responsibility in fisheries and aquaculture and covering all the stages in the value chain. 569. Developing States Parties, constituting the majority of Parties to the PSMA, are key to ensuring widespread implementation of the PSMA. These are contributing to improving knowledge on small-scale fisheries, the role of small-scale fisheries communities in sustainable fisheries management, and blue growth processes. Rome. 2018. While developed markets still dominate fish imports, the importance of developing countries as consumers as well as producers of fish and fish products has been steadily increasing. Additional efforts to better understand and improve secure tenure, user and access rights systems have included FAO conferences and meetings, most recently: Tenure and User Rights in Fisheries 2018: Achieving Sustainable Development Goals by 2030; and Friends of User Rights 2019 Meeting. In Tokelau, young fishers are tested on their knowledge and understanding of fishing and navigation through the “kaukumete” ceremony. For example, of the 34 countries where fish contributes more than one-third of the total animal protein supply, 18 are LIFDCs. The combined sequence of risks – from current through to the future – can then be used to consider possible adaptation, and in particular, to identify early adaptation options to address immediate, medium-term and long-term risks. It should also be noted that China’s production of aquatic plants was also revised to reflect a decrease in dried weight of 8 percent in 2016. In supporting the uptake of international standards, FAO and partners organized seminars in Asia, the South West Indian Ocean, and West Africa to promote safety in fisheries and decent work (FAO, 2019e). Sea-level rise, marine heat waves and changes in the intensity and the frequency of extreme weather events (e.g. On the challenges to achieving ecological sustainability of global and regional fisheries: ▸ Promote assessment and monitoring of individual stocks and improve transparency at the stock and country level to better understand the status of fisheries at relevant geographical scales. TOPIC 4. The overall value generated by these services is not yet known, as it is usually recorded together with the value of services related to other activities. A given State is then assigned a climate change risk score from 0 to 1 calculated as an average of that State’s impact and vulnerability scores. Impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture: synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options. ▸ Continue developing inclusive integrated management frameworks that rapidly move to reference points consistent with ecosystem sustainability goals, promoting stewardship and participatory management that effectively translate into action at all scales. 22 Following United Nations General Assembly Resolution 72/249. Subsequently, the International Conference on Responsible Fishing, held in 1992 in Cancún, Mexico, further requested FAO to prepare an international code of conduct for responsible fisheries. For that purpose, the projects have developed training programmes to show where operational costs can be reduced. Finally, it is worth highlighting that, already in 2016, FAO together with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) had developed the OECD–FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains to help enterprises observe existing standards for responsible business conduct along agricultural supply chains in order to mitigate adverse impacts and contribute to sustainable development. ▸ What are the key drivers of change in these sectors, including both threats and opportunities? FAO Committee on Fisheries. Even when taking into consideration catches of anchoveta – which are often substantial yet highly variable because of the influence of El Niño events – total marine catches have been relatively stable since the mid-2000s, ranging from 78 million tonnes to 81 million tonnes per year, following a decline from the peak catches of the late-1990s. TABLE 14PERCENTAGE OF GLOBAL FISH CATCH ALLOCATED TO MAJOR HYDROLOGICAL/RIVER BASIN. In 2018, fishmeal represented about 3 percent of the value of exports, and fish oil 1 percent. The increase in 2018 was mostly driven by marine capture fisheries, whose production increased from 81.2 million tonnes in 2017 to 84.4 million tonnes in 2018, while catches from inland captures also recorded their highest-ever catches, at over 12 million tonnes. Designed for production statistics, ASFIS has no authority over the taxonomic status of the species or species groups. World fish utilization and apparent consumption, 3. and enforcing regulations targeting unsustainable practices (strict requirements to obtain permits, regulations banning unsustainable practices, establishment and enforcement of authorized veterinary drugs, etc.). The IHH study includes about 50 country case studies. The tautai and the local community have been engaged in a community consultation on gaps in safety practices and requirements for safety gear for vessels fishing beyond the lagoon. www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/3/2019/12/SROCC_FullReport_FINAL.pdf. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Proceedings No. Brugère, C. & Williams, M. 2017. Food loss and waste in fish value chains. Poulain, F., Himes-Cornell, A. Although pioneered by SIDS at the Rio+20 Oceans Day, it was considered relevant to all coastal States and countries with an interest in waters within and beyond national jurisdiction. Women account for 14 percent of those 60 million people, although when secondary-sector activities such as processing and marketing are considered, the total work force is more evenly divided. Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) was second, at 3.4 million tonnes, while skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) ranked third for the ninth consecutive year, at 3.2 million tonnes (Table 3). In polyculture operations, feeds used for fed species may also be harvested by filter-feeding species, depending on the type and quality of feeds. Therefore, it is important to define biodiversity conservation goals that both engage use sectors such as fisheries and aquaculture, and that target species-rich environments where human pressures are greatest. Following disruptions, many farmers who have been unable to sell their harvest have had to maintain large quantities of live fish. However, these global figures do not include the value of trade in fisheries services such as consulting, resource management, infrastructure development, certification and labelling, trade promotion and marketing services, maintenance and research. Science, 338(6106): 517–520. Fish is the main source of animal protein for billions of people worldwide, and the livelihoods of more than 10 percent of the global population depend on capture fishing and aquaculture (FAO, 2018a). FAO also encourages development of gear-marking technologies that are cost-effective, operationally efficient, environmentally friendly, and versatile for different types of fishing gear. [Cited 12 February 2020]. FIGURE 29TOP EXPORTERS AND IMPORTERS OF FISH AND FISH PRODUCTS IN TERMS OF VALUE, 2018. In the questionnaire for the Census of Aquaculture 2018 carried out by the Department of Agriculture in the United States of America, disease was listed ahead of all other causes of production losses. 2017: The impact of disasters and crises on agriculture and food security. To this end, FAO and its partners are promoting the potential of AIS to assist fisheries management and research around the globe, and highlight its strengths, limitations and gaps (Taconet, Kroodsma and Fernandes, 2019). No. 41 pp. About 2 400 species produced and 1 000 items traded are conveyed into eight main groups of similar biological characteristic, reflecting FAO’s International Standard Statistical Classification of Aquatic Animals and Plants. Institutional adaptation is mainly undertaken on the part of public bodies to address legal, policy, management and institutional issues (Box 19). Figure 58 presents four basin-level threat maps for important inland fisheries in Africa and Asia. The Code offers guidance on sustainable indicators and the use of the precautionary approach for fisheries and aquaculture (FAO, 1995), as do related guidelines. Ensuring efficient communication between those in charge of responding to the questionnaire and national SDG focal points was also identified as a priority. 2018. of mangroves); the use of harmful chemicals and veterinary drugs; the impact of escapees on wild stocks; inefficient or unsustainable production of fishmeal and fish oil; and social and cultural impacts on aquaculture workers and communities. Heating (by sterilization, pasteurization, hot smoking or cooking) reduces the amount of thermolabile nutrients, although their concentration can increase by cooking, which reduces the relative moisture content of foods, thereby increasing concentration of some nutrients. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989418301021, Pacific Community. However, implementing a blue growth model often requires new and innovative types of financing, from the public and private sectors. The conclusion of this analysis is that growth in global inland fisheries is driven by 34 countries, and of these, about 8 relatively large producers drive this trend.
