Global Aquatic Production Total Fisheries Aquaculture 34.1% or 42.8 million ton in 2001 9.7% Human Consumption of Fish: 1990: 13 kg / person 2000: >16 kg / person in 2004: 55.5 million ton (FAO, 2006)
Aquaculture, probably the fastest growing food-producing sector, now accounts for almost 50 %of the world’s food fish and is perceived as having the greatest potential to meet the growing demand for aquatic food. Given the projected population growth over the next two decades, it is estimated that at least an additional 40 million tonnes of aquatic food will be required by 2030 to maintain the current per caput consumption. Europe is importing > 50 % of its aquatic food needs from outside the EU.
INCREASED MARKET DEMAND stagnant capture fisheries environmental problems? human health risks? INCREASED aquaculture production
