Tridge summary

Tabasco, Mexico, has seen a significant increase in fishing production in the past five years, with a high percentage contribution to the national production and GDP. The state's body of water and vast fresh water reserves make it ideal for fishing. The main species produced include oyster, mojarra, flag, and horse mackerel. The United Nations has declared 2022 as the International Year of Fisheries and Aquaculture, aiming to raise awareness and recognize the contribution of fishermen and aquaculturists to food security and sustainable use of natural resources. Despite the significant numbers employed in fishing and aquaculture globally, many workers face poverty and vulnerable employment conditions, with a majority being small-scale artisanal fishermen and aquaculture workers, particularly in Asia and Africa. Women make up a higher proportion of the aquaculture workforce but face limitations in technology, capital, and financing compared to men.
