How to Do Animal Rights - And Win the War on Animals Chapter 7 Animal Numbers Raised & Killed 5. Fish Summary Assuming the data in the tables below for the year 2001 are typical for recent years: People catch about 92 million tonnes of wild (non-farmed) fish annually in Earth's oceans and seas (Table 1). People farm about 38 million tonnes of fish annually - about 22 kg of fish per person worldwide annually (Table2). By weight of catch, China, Peru, United States, Japan and Indonesia are the biggest fishing countries, catching about a third of the world's total wild caught fish, with China the biggest, catching nearly a fifth of the world total (Table 1). China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Thailand combined produced about 80 per cent of the world's farmed fish, with China the biggest producer farming about two-thirds of the world's total farmed fish (Table 2). Wild Caught Fish People catch annually about 100 million tons of wild fish from the seas and oceans. This is nearly a five-fold increase over 1950 when people took about 20 million tonnes of fish per year. Around 3.5 million boats fish the seas and oceans worldwide, with Russia and US owning the largest fleets of deepwater fishing boats. Britain, once an imperial sea power, ranked 21st in 2001 with 0.7 million tonnes of wild caught fish. Table 1. Wild Caught Fish for 2001. Top Five Producing Countries & World Total.

Three Most Wild Caught Fish data from: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Fishery Information, Data and Statistics Unit. Farmed Fish People farm about 38 million tonnes of fish per year. This is a 38-fold increase since 1950 when about one million tonnes was farmed. In 2001 the US ranked 10th at 0.5 million tonnes of farmed fish and Britain ranked 19th with 0.2 million tonnes of farmed fish. Table 2. Farmed Fish in 2001.
