Introduction:

Fishery (plural: fisheries) is a   physical activity leading to catching, processing or selling of fish, shellfish (molluscs, crustaceans)  and other aquatic animals and plants. According to Food and Agricultural Organization ( FAO) Rome, a fishery is an activity leading  to capture of  fish wild water resources  or raising of fish through aquaculture system .

Fisheries are mainly categorized in three types Inland fisheries, Marine fisheries, and fisheries through aquaculture

 1.      Inland Fisheries consist of

A) Freshwater fisheries resources like, River, Reservoirs, Lakes, etc

                                 B) Coldwater water fisheries resources


2 .  Marine water Fisheries include Oceans, estuaries etc


 3  Aquaculture: Aquaculture include culturing of both freshwater and marine fishes

The main of fish and fisheries is to improve food and nutrition security, upsurge income and increase livelihoods, support economic growth and protect our environment and natural resources.

Food and Agricultural organization ( FAO) after every two years released  world fisheries statistics  official document in the form  THE STATE OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE 2020( SOFIA) for fisheries policy marker, fisheries researcher, and students to get information about  world fisheries statistics like total fish production of the world, top fish production countries, top fish and shellfish cultured throughout the world etc.  Here below we are providing some fisheries statistics of the world as per THE STATE OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE 2020( SOFIA)
