About this data
Some wild fish catch is processed into fishmeal and oils for animal feed – this is used for land-based livestock and fish farms (aquaculture). Efficiency improvements in aquaculture, and changes in the diets of farmed fish means production has increased rapidly, without increasing inputs from wild fish.
