Seafood farming surpasses wild catch for the first time: FAO

Quick Summary:

For the first time in history, we now farm more seafood than we catch from the wild.

At the same time, overfishing of wild fish stocks continues to increase, and the number of sustainably fished stocks declines.

An estimated 600 million people still rely, at least partially, on small-scale fisheries and aquaculture for their livelihoods, while people relying on direct employment in the sectors increased by 4 million, to almost 62 million, since the 2022 report.
