Nutritional statistics of fish

"Despite fluctuations in supply and demand caused by the changing state of fisheries resources, the economic climate and environmental conditions, fisheries, including aquaculture, have traditionally been, and remain an important source of food, employment and revenue in many countries and communities"

"The total food fish supply and hence consumption has been growing at a rate of 3.6% per year since 1961, while the world's population has been expanding at 1.8% per year. The proteins derived from fish, crustaceans and molluscs account for between 13.8% and 16.5% of the animal protein intake of the human population. The average apparent per capita consumption increased from about 9 kg per year in the early 1960s to 16 kg in 1997. The per capita availability of fish and fishery products has therefore nearly doubled in 40 years, outpacing population growth."

 "Recommending the increased consumption of fish is another area where the feasibility of dietary recommendations needs to be balanced against concerns for *{_}{+}sustainability{+}{_}* of marine stocks and the potential depletion of this important marine source of high quality nutritious food. Added to this is the concern that a significant proportion of the world fish catch is transformed into fish meal and used as animal feed in industrial livestock production and thus is not available for human consumption."

GLOBAL STOCK OF FISH

\--->GOOD MAP OF FISH CATCH&nbsp;

*Fish are a major source of*
*food protein for billions*
*of people and their*
*domesticated animals.*

&nbsp;Graph of Human fish consumption by percent present in this link

Essentially:

Far East

Africa

West Europe

Latin America

Near East

North America

With the far east mainly comprised of China and Japan

&nbsp;Countries with the greatest consumption have really productive industries that CAN afford to start a proper monitoring system.
