Updated statistics from Marine Management Organisation on the UK fishing sector show that UK vessels landed 724 thousand tonnes of sea fish in 2017, with a value of £980 million. [5] In 2021, 53% of fishers in the UK were based in England. The largest English region was the South West, contributing 10% of overall output in the sector. [6]
Following is a sortable table of the world fisheries' harvest in 2022. The tonnage from capture and aquaculture is listed by country. Capture includes fish , crustaceans , molluscs , etc. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
Fisheries in inland waters of the United States are small compared to marine fisheries. The largest fisheries are the landings from the Great Lakes, worth about $13 million in 2003, [15] with a similar amount from the Mississippi River basin. [16] This is less than one percent of the dollar value of the marine fisheries. [5]
World capture fisheries and aquaculture production by species group [1]. The global commercial production for human use of fish and other aquatic organisms occurs in two ways: they are either captured wild by commercial fishing or they are cultivated and harvested using aquacultural and farming techniques.
Fish processing is the processing of fish delivered by commercial fisheries and fish farms. The larger fish processing companies have their own fishing fleets and independent fisheries. The products of the industry are usually sold wholesale to grocery chains or to intermediaries.
However, even with these new statistics brought to light, no changes were made in the allotted yearly catch of cod. [12] With only a limited knowledge of cod biology, scientists predicted that the population of the species would rebound from its low point in 1975. In the early-1990s, the industry collapsed entirely.
