Worldwide fish consumption gets far above expectation.

Marine fish harvest supply the earth with approximately sixteen percent living protein ingestion and around 145 million tonnes in 2009.Worldwide fish consumption gets far above expectation with a standard of 17kg/person, statistics proved by a UN statement. Thirty-two percent is said to be recovering, depleted and overexploited, the FAO (findings published by the Food and Agriculture Organization) highlight that the status of worldwide stock of fish has not enchancedand is a matter that need consideration as it raise anxiety for the aqua-animals.

 In few regions in order to reach people demand for marine fish, the rank of overexploitation has increased in 2006.   15% of fish stocks were considered fairly exploited or underexploited.  In 2008 the food commodity that is most trade is fish and its cost the United State $ 102Bilion-An increase of 9 % of 2007.Tuna fish is sure to lessen unless forecast management improves. China is still the biggest marine fish-producing country, it produces Forty-seven point five million tonnes in 2008 (14.8 million tonnes from imprison fisheries and 32.7 millions tonnes form the sea).

The worldwide statistics shows that 80 million tonnes fish are captured from the sea and 10 millions tonnes are from local waters. An average of growing rate of 6.6 percent, supplies from the sector has increased from 0.7 kilogram in 1970 to 8kg in 2008.The marine life was subjugated, the records of worldwide production is 89 % and value is 79% from the Asia / Pacific region.
A third of the worldwide of aquaculture is considered as overexploited and ten of the most popular fish are becoming rare on the market. The tuna stocks are being completely exploited, the only few underexploited is the “skipjack”.
Another problem the FAO describe is the usual unreported fishing and thrown-out fishes and specially the captivity of ecological species, which remain at a very high-level.
 The latest statistics says about 7 million/year global fish is being discards, thus for an improvement the UN agency will direct a control to reduce discards and over fishing.
