Countries ranked by Fish and seafood production (catch + farmed)

How to read this number

The weight (in tonnes) of aquatic animals such as fish, shellfish and shrimp that the country produced in a year for all purposes (commercial, industrial, recreational and subsistence). It is the catch from the sea, rivers and lakes plus the harvest from aquaculture and other kinds of fish farming.

It is the sum of the catch and aquaculture production. Aquaculture includes aquatic plants such as seaweed, so the total does not match the amount of fish eaten. It is not trade or consumption: it does not subtract exports, add imports, or measure what people eat. A value of 0 may mean the country produces almost none, but it could also mean no data was reported.
