Southeast Asia is a vast tropical region comprised of 11 countries and has experienced uniquely significant development, particularly in capture fisheries. The large exclusive economic zones and continental shelf areas heavily support the region’s fisheries, with capture fisheries production having steadily increased over the past 30 years, outperforming other regions. The percentage of fishers as a share of the total population in this region is 3.4 times that of the world average. The region’s per capita production of aquatic foods is 1.9times higher than the world average. Despite warnings of overfishing for decades, the region has a 3.6-times higher ratio of under fished marine stocks as compared with the global estimate, primarily owing to the prevalence of artisanal or small-scale fisheries and non-selective fisheries, which are supported by high biodiversity. However, the growth of the per capita supply of aquatic foods has plateaued in recent years. As Southeast Asia’s population is expected to stabilize in about the year2055 at 113% of its current size, the demand for aquatic food products will likely level off, enabling a transition toward relatively sustainable fisheries
