Abstract

The FAO study conducted in 2001 (SOFIA, 2002) reports that the world demand for fish and fishery products is projected to expand by almost 50 million tonnes, from 133 million tonnes in 1999/2001 to 183 million tonnes by 2015. On the supply side, total world fish production would increase from 129 million tonnes in 1999/2001 to 172 million tonnes by the year 2015. Of the total production, capture fisheries is projected to stagnate, while aquaculture production is projected to increase substantially, but at a slower rate than in the past. Of the expected increase of 43 million tonnes in global fish production from 1999/2001 to 2015, 73 percent would come from aquaculture, which will account for 39 percent of global fish production in 2015 (up from 27.5 percent in 1999/2001).
