Description
Summary:The global aquaculture production reached a record 122.6 million tonnes in 2020, out of which around 54.4 million tonnes were farmed in inland waters and 68.1 million tonnes came from marine and coastal aquaculture. All regions, except Africa, experienced continued aquaculture growth in 2020, driven by expansion in Chile, China and Norway – the top producers in their respective regions. Asia continued to dominate world aquaculture, producing over 90 percent of the total.The contribution of aquaculture to the global production of aquatic animals reached a record 49.2 per cent in 2020. Despite the great diversity in farmed aquatic species, only a small number of “staple” species dominate aquaculture production, particularly grass carp for global inland aquaculture and Atlantic salmon for marine aquaculture (FAO,2022).
