[25]: 28 The average production of marine capture fisheries increased from 1.32 million MT per year in the 1980s, to 1.68 million in the 1990s, and 2.08 in the 2000s. In 2018, 1.89 million MT were caught, 2% of the global total. [33]: 13 Inland capture fisheries produced 160 thousand MT in 2018, about 1% of the global inland catch.
A regional fishery body (RFB) [1] is a type of international organization that is part of an international fishery agreement or arrangement to cooperate on the sustainable use and conservation of marine living resources (fish and marine mammals) and/or the development of marine capture fisheries whose such capacity has been recognized by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization under the ...
Fisheries management authorities who make real-time decisions about opening or closing restricted fishing areas are usually on land, and will communicate their decisions on paper, using websites or electronic mail, and by voice radio. Within a vessel monitoring system (VMS), the Fisheries Management Center (FMC) components are on land.
In 2021, municipal capture fisheries produced 1.13 million metric tons of product, 26.64% of total fisheries production. Nationally, 2.19 million people were employed in municipal fishing activities, of which 50.03% were in capture fisheries, 11.59% in gleaning activities, and 11.28% in aquaculture. Other fish processing and municipal fishing ...
Wild fisheries can be marine or lacustrine/riverine , and rely heavily on the carrying capacity of the local aquatic ecosystem. Wild fisheries are sometimes called capture fisheries . The aquatic life they support is not artificially controlled in any meaningful way and needs to be "captured" or fished.
In 2020, fisheries made up 1.52% of GDP [68] Growth in the commercial sector in 2020 increased overall fisheries production, despite decreases in municipal capture and aquaculture output. [6]: 10 In 2021, fisheries produced 4.25 million metric tons (PhP 302.44 billion), of which 0.87 million metric tons (20.48%) was from commercial fisheries ...
A 2008 joint publication by the World Bank and the FAO, entitled The Sunken Billions: The Economic Justification for Fisheries Reform, concludes that global marine capture fisheries are an underperforming global asset and shows that the difference between the potential and actual net economic benefits from marine fisheries is in the order of $50 billion per year.

Capture fisheries can be broadly classified as industrial scale, small-scale or artisanal, and recreational. Close to 90% of the world's fishery catches come from oceans and seas, as opposed to inland waters. These marine catches have remained relatively stable since the mid-nineties (between 80 and 86 million tonnes). [11]
