The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has released a report revealing that global fisheries and aquaculture production has reached record levels, with aquaculture production surpassing that of capture fisheries for the first time. The report, titled 'The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture' (SOFIA), indicates that global production in 2022 was 223.2 million tonnes, a 4.4 percent increase from 2020. The consumption of aquatic animal foods has also increased, providing at least 20 percent of the per capita protein supply from all animal sources for 3.2 billion people in 2021. However, concerns have been raised about the sustainability of marine stocks, with only 62.3 percent fished within biologically sustainable levels in 2021. The FAO projects that production and consumption of aquatic foods will continue to rise until 2032.
