Last week the #G20Brazil Ministerial Declaration specifically recognized FAO’s #BlueTransformation Roadmap as a key framework for achieving long-term sustainability in #fisheries & #aquaculture. It also highlights #SSFGuidelines, #PSMA & #FAO_GSA as key to supporting this vision. The first time fisheries and aquaculture issues were included in the #G20 agenda 👉 https://t.co/iCw6pwjG8L

For the first time, farmed aquatic production has exceeded the catch from traditional captured fisheries, highlighting the potential of aquaculture in meeting the rising global demand for seafood. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Agency reported that global fisheries and aquaculture production in 2022 reached a record 223.2 million metric tons, with aquaculture production hitting an unprecedented 130.9 MMT. According to the latest biennial report by the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), aquatic animals accounted for 51% of the total aquaculture production in 2022, totaling 94.4 MMT. The report also stated that global per capita annual consumption of aquatic animal foods rose to 20.7 kg in 2022 from 9.1 kg in 1961. This increase underscores the growing importance of aquaculture as a key protein source for millions worldwide, with consumption expected to continue rising in the future. #Aquaculture #Fisheries #GlobalFoodSecurity

''In 2022, global aquatic animal aquaculture production reached 130.9 million MT, accounting for 57 percent 💪 of aquatic animal production by volume, while wild-catch fisheries accounted for 94.4 million MT. By continent, Asia was responsible for 70 percent 👌 of aquatic animal production, Europe contributed 9 percent, Latin America and the Caribbean produced 9 percent, Africa at 7 percent, North America at 3 percent, and Oceania at 1 percent. Globally, 61.8 million people were employed in primary production of seafood in 2022.''

#ICYMI World fisheries and #aquaculture production has hit a new high, with aquaculture production of aquatic animals surpassing capture fisheries for the first time! According to a new report by FAO, fish farms are now the leading source of seafood, helping supplement wild capture and providing a boost to meet the growing global demand for sustainable seafood without putting extra strain on wild fish populations. Compared to 2022, global fisheries and aquaculture production surged to 223.2 million tons, a 4.4% increase from 2020. This shift highlights the importance of sustainable aquaculture practices for the future of our oceans. Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/4cC3vp4

New paper on the use of byproducts from fish processing from seven case studies covering industrialized fisheries and aquaculture. Our study shows that across the case studies on average 72% of byproducts are utilized. Of the case studies, Norwegian Atlantic salmon has the highest utilization rate of 99% and and wild Alaskan salmon the lowest at 37%. Scale appears to be a make-or-break for the economic feasibility of investing in new production lines for handling byproducts, and helps to explain variations in utilization rates across case studies. https://lnkd.in/dZRP9FSU #MARIGREEN #FOLOU

🌊🐟 Breaking News: Aquaculture now surpasses wild fisheries in global production! 🐟🌊 Is this progress or a disaster in disguise? 🤔 While some hail it as a solution to overfishing, others argue it's just a factory farming nightmare moved underwater. 🌍🚫 🐟 Proponents say: "It's a sustainable way to feed the world!" 🌱 Critics counter: "It's polluting our waters and harming marine life!" What do YOU think? Are we saving our oceans or destroying them in a different way? 💬👇 #Aquaculture #Sustainability #MarineLife #EcoFriendly

Aquaculture Overtakes Wild Fisheries for the First Time A recent UN report highlights that aquaculture production has surpassed wild fisheries. This milestone underscores the growing importance of sustainable aquaculture in meeting global food demands.Read more:

Aquaculture surpasses capture fisheries in aquatic animal production for the first time, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2024 says. However, further transformative and adaptive actions are needed to strengthen the efficiency, inclusiveness, resilience and sustainability of aquatic food systems and consolidate their role in addressing food insecurity, poverty alleviation and sustainable governance.

World fisheries and aquaculture production has surged to an all-time high of 223.2 million tons, marking a 4.4% increase from 2020. And for the first time aquaculture production alone reached 94.4 million tons in 2022. This remarkable growth underscores the urgency to address issues critical to the health of our oceans to help ensure future food security for people all around the world. #foodsecurity #sustainability #environment https://lnkd.in/eCnBS7Pa
