The State of the World’s Fisheries Inland and Marine Capture Fishery Trends, 1984 to 1998

Summary

In this world map, countries are color-keyed according to their inland capture fishing trends for the period 1984 to 1997.

Additionally, bar graphs are provided for each fishing zone around the world displaying the ratio between the 1998 catch and the maximum recorded catch.

“In many countries, aquaculture is rapidly increasing in response to declining natural fisheries, often exacerbating the degradation of inland and coastal ecosystems through habitat alteration, pollution and the introduction of alien species.”
