For over one and a half decades, the global fisheries production has continued to grow from 136.2 million metric tons in 2000 to 195.7 million metric tons in 2014, increasing at a rate of approximately 3.12% annually. During the same period, the utilization of fish for human consumption and non-food uses also increased from 131.0 million metric tons to 167.2 million metric tons or an increase of 1.97% annually (FAO, 2016a). During the period from 2000 to 2009, the percentage of fish produced for human consumption had risen from 74% to approximately 85%, slightly declined during 2010-2011, and remained rather steady at approximately 75% until 2014. Meanwhile, the human population as major consumer of fish products also increased from approximately 6.1 billion in 2000 to 7.3 billion in 2014, while the per capita fish consumption also increased from an average of 15.9 kg in 2000 to 20.1 kg in 2014. From the aforesaid data, it could be visualized that the increased supply of fish through enhanced fisheries production has contributed to elevated consumption and other utilization, and as the human population grows the demand for fish and fishery products will also rise.It is quite clear that for developing countries, fish consumption trends depend on the availability of local and seasonal supply of fish and fishery products, which also sets the direction of the fish supply chain (FAO, 2014a). Food fish is important as inexpensive source of high-quality protein as well as all essential amino acids, essential fats (omega-3), vitamins, and minerals including calcium, iodine, zinc, iron, and selenium (FAO, 2016a), and thus, is necessary for human health.
