Description Global fish production peaked at about 171 million
tonnes in 2016, with aquaculture contributing 47
percent (80million tonnes) to the total.While capture
fishery production remains static since the 1980s,
aquaculture production is rapidly growing and is now
almost on par with the capture fishery. The growth of
the aquaculture sector is also faster than other major
food production sectors registering a 5.8 percent
annual growth rate during the period 2001–2016. In
2016, of the total fish production, 12 percent (about
20 million tonnes) was used for non-food purposes. A
greatest part of these (74 percent or 15 million tonnes)
was reduced to fishmeal and fish oil, while the rest
(5 million tonnes) was largely utilized as material for
direct feeding in aquaculture and raising of livestock
and fur animals, in culture, as bait, in pharmaceutical
uses and for ornamental purposes. About 220 aquatic
animals and plants species are cultured around the
world, in a vast range of production systems. Generally
aquaculture production systems can be divided into
feed-dependent systems or fed aquaculture (e.g. finfish
and crustaceans) or non-fed aquaculture systems where
culture is predominately dependent on the natural
environment for food, e.g. aquatic plants and molluscs.
