This edition of the State of World Fisheries and Acquaculture uses the latest official statistics to present a global analysis of trends in fish stocks, production, processing, utilization, trade and consumption. It also reports on the status of the world’s fishing fleets and analyses the make-up of human engagement in the sector. It comes out in the wake of major international agreements: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Paris Agreement on climate change. The publication therefore examines the likely impacts of these agreements on the fisheries and aquaculture sector, and the vital contribution that the sector must make in order to achieve their stated societal, economic and environmental aims.
