Topic Outline
• Understand the status of fish and aquatic

processing industry in the Philippines, Southeast
Asia and the world.
• Familiarize the utilization of fish and aquatic
products in the Philippines, Southeast Asia and
the world.

INTRODUCTION
World fish production is estimated to lag behind

demand as a consequence of a faster population
growth rate and a growing preference for fish as a
health food. The situation makes very critical
utilization of the catch, the prevention of its
misuses and underutilization. Postharvest
technology is therefore a very important
component of every fisheries agenda.
3
INTRODUCTION
The marine and aquatic resources of a country do

not only serve as a source of food but are
important economically since they can provide job
opportunities, income and foreign currency for the
people and the country when exploited in a
suitable way. The potential to harvest more
products from aquatic environments is now very
much limited.
4
GLOBAL CONSUMPTION
Fish is crucial to a nutritious diet in many areas across

the world.
Fish and fish products are recognized not only as some
of the healthiest foods on the planet, but also as some
of the least impactful on the natural environment. For
these reasons, they are vital for national, regional and
global food security and nutrition strategies, and have
a big part to play in transforming food systems and
eliminating hunger and malnutrition
5
GLOBAL CONSUMPTION
Fish provided about 3.3 billion people with almost 20

percent of their average per capita intake of animal
protein.
In 2017, fish accounted for about 17 percent of total

animal protein, and 7 percent of all proteins,
consumed globally.
6
GLOBAL CONSUMPTION
7
WORLD UTILIZATION
The fisheries and aquaculture sector significantly

expanded in the past decades and total production,
trade and consumption reached an all-time record in
2018.
However since early 1990s, most growth in production
from the sector as a whole has been from aquaculture,
while capture fisheries production has been relatively
stable, with some growth essentially concerning inland
capture
8
WORLD UTILIZATION
+14% - Rise in global capture fisheries production

from 1990 to 2018
+527% - Rise in global aquaculture production from

1990 to 2018
+122% - Rise in total food fish consumption from 1990

to 2018
9
WORLD UTILIZATION
Sustainable aquaculture development and effective

fisheries management are critical to maintain these
trends. For fisheries, there is growing evidence that
when they are properly managed, stocks are
consistently above target levels or rebuilding.
However, the successes achieved in some countries
and regions have not been sufficient to reverse the
global trend of overfished stocks.
10
WORLD UTILIZATION
90% - Percentage of fish stocks within biologically

sustainable levels (1990)
65.8% - Percentage of fish stocks within

biologically sustainable levels (2017)
11
WORLD UTILIZATION
In places where fisheries management is not in

place, or is ineffective, the status of fish stocks is
poor and deteriorating. Although 78.7% of all
landings of marine fisheries come from
biologically sustainable stocks, the unequal
progress in fisheries management highlights the
urgent need to replicate and re-adapt successful
policies.
12
CAPTURE FISHERIES PRODUCTION
In 2018, total global capture fisheries production

reached the highest level ever recorded at 96.4
million tonnes - an increase of 5.4 percent from
the average of the previous three years
13
14
The increase in 2018 was mostly driven by marine capture fisheries, with production from
marine areas increasing to 84.4 million tonnes in 2018 – up from 81.2 million in 2017.
2018’s top capture producers

• China
• Indonesia
• Peru
• India
• the Russian Federation
• the United States of America
• Viet Nam
These countries accounted for almost 50 percent of total global capture production.
15
MOST POPULAR FISH SPECIES TO BE CAUGHT
The most popular fish species

to be caught was
anchoveta (Engraulis
ringens) over 7 million tonnes,
with Peru and Chile accounting
for most of the increase in
catches in 2018. This follows
relatively low catches for this
species in recent years.
16
Alaska pollock (Theragra
chalcogramma) was
second, at 3.4 million
tonnes.
17
Skipjack tuna
(Katsuwonus
pelamis) ranked third
for the ninth
consecutive year, at
3.2 million tonnes.
18
Catches of tuna and tuna-like species continued their

year-on-year increase, reaching their highest levels in
2018 at over 7.9 million tonnes, mostly the result of
catches in the Western and Central Pacific. This was
achieved alongside better fisheries management,
resulting in the number of overfished stocks
decreasing to reach 66.7 percent of tuna and tuna-like
stocks at sustainable levels.
19
AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic animals,

including finfish, crustaceans, mollusks, etc. and
aquatic plants, mostly algae, using or within
freshwater, sea water, brackish water and inland
saline water.
20
World aquaculture production attained another

all-time record high of 114.5 million tonnes in live
weight in 2018, with a total farmgate sale value of
USD 263.6 billion (the price of the product
available at the farm, excluding any separately
billed transport or delivery charge.)
21
The total production consisted of:
• 82.1 million tonnes of aquatic animals
• 32.4 million tonnes of aquatic algae
• 26 000 tonnes of ornamental seashells and pearls.
In 2018, inland aquaculture produced 51.3 million tonnes of aquatic

animals, accounting for 62.5 percent of the world’s farmed food
fish production. This refers to aquaculture produced either from
inland natural water sources, such as rivers and lakes, and fish
farms.
22
23
World aquaculture production of farmed aquatic

animals has been dominated by Asia, with an 89
percent share in the last two decades or so. Among
major producing countries, China, India, Indonesia, Viet
Nam, Bangladesh, Egypt, Norway and Chile, have
consolidated their share in regional or world
production to varying degree over the past two
decades.
24
FISHERS AND FISH FARMERS ACROSS THE WORLD
Across the world, the fisheries and aquaculture sector

is a major source of employment.
In 2018, an estimated 59.5 million people were
engaged in the primary sector of fisheries and
aquaculture.
In total, about 20.5 million people were employed in
aquaculture and 39.0 million in fisheries, a slight
increase from 2016.
25
FISH UTILIZATION
In 2018, about 88 percent of the 179 million tonnes of total

fish production was utilized for direct human
consumption.
12 percent was used for non-food purposes.
In 2018, live, fresh or chilled fish still represented the largest

share of fish utilized for direct human consumption (44
percent).
26
FISH UTILIZATION
27
PRODUCTION LOSSES AND WASTAGE
A large proportion of fisheries and aquaculture production

is either lost or wasted - 35 percent of the global harvest.
This must be reduced to improve the efficiency and

sustainability of the sector, through appropriate policies,
regulatory frameworks, capacity building, services and
infrastructure, as well as physical access to markets.
28
FISH INDUSTRY PROSPECTS
World fish production, consumption and trade are

expected to increase, but with a growth rate that will
slow over time.
Total fish production is expected to expand from 179
million tonnes in 2018 to 204 million tonnes in 2030.
Aquaculture production is projected to reach 109
million tonnes in 2030, an increase of 32 percent (26
million tonnes) over 2018.
29
Asia will continue to dominate the aquaculture sector

and will be responsible for more than 89 percent of
the increase in production by 2030. The sector is
expected to expand most in Africa - up 48 percent -
driven by the additional culturing capacity put in place
in recent years.
30
In nominal terms, prices in the fishery and

aquaculture sector are expected to rise in the
long term up to 2030.
31
Food fish supply will increase in all regions, while

per capita fish consumption is expected to
decline in Africa, raising concerns in terms of
food security. The share of fish production
destined for human consumption is expected to
continue to grow, reaching 89 percent by 2030.
World food fish consumption in 2030 is projected
to be 18 percent higher than in 2018.
