Fish

Global fish production has grown steadily in the last five decades, with food fish supply increasing at an average annualrate of 3.2 percent, outpacing world population growth at 1.6 percent. World per capita apparent fish consumption increased an average of 9.9 kg in the 1960s to 19.2 kg in 2012 (preliminary estimate).
This impressive development has been driven by a combination of population growth, rising incomes and urbanization, and facilitated by the strong expansion of fish production and more efficient distribution channels.China has been responsible for most of the growth in fish availability,owing to the dramatic expansion in its fish production, particularly from aquaculture. Its per capita apparent fish consumption also increased an average annual rate of 6.0 percent in the period 1990 - 2010 to about 35.1 kg in 2010. Annualper capita fish supply in the rest of the world was about 15.4 kg in 2010 (11.4 kg in the 1960s and 13.5 kg in the 1990s).
