In 1996, the reported production from inland waters amounted to more than 23 million tonnes (t), with contributions of 7.5 and 15.5 million t from capture fisheries and aquaculture, respectively. Yields from fisheries, especially subsistence fisheries, being greatly under-reported, may be twice the indicated figures. Fisheries yields in terms of total volume are highest in Asia, but are also important in Africa. Recreational fisheries are economically important in Europe and North America, and the trend is for an increase in their importance elsewhere. Fishery enhancement techniques, especially stocking of natural and artificial water bodies, long the mainstay of recreational fisheries, are contributing to a major proportion of the catch for food, particularly in Asia. The bulk of aquaculture production comes from Asia, derived mainly from extensive and semi-intensive farming of lower-value herbivorous and omnivorous fish species.
