Rome/San Jose, Costa Rica – World fisheries and aquaculture production has hit a new high, with aquaculture production of aquatic animals surpassing capture fisheries for the first time, according to a new report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) released today.
The 2024 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) said global fisheries and aquaculture production in 2022 surged to 223.2 million tonnes, a 4.4 percent increase from the year 2020. Production comprised 185.4 million tonnes of aquatic animals and 37.8 million tonnes of algae.
“FAO welcomes the significant achievements thus far, but further transformative and adaptive actions are needed to strengthen the efficiency, inclusiveness, resilience and sustainability of aquatic food systems and consolidate their role in addressing food insecurity, poverty alleviation and sustainable governance,” said FAO Director-General QU Dongyu. “That’s why FAO advocates Blue Transformation, to meet the overall requirements of better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind.”
The SOFIA report will be formally launched at the High-level event on ocean action “Immersed in Change” in San Jose, Costa Rica
Aquaculture produces record amount
In 2022 and for the first time in history, aquaculture surpassed capture fisheries as the main producer of aquatic animals. Global aquaculture production reached an unprecedented 130.9 million tonnes, of which 94.4 million tonnes are aquatic animals, 51 percent of the total aquatic animal production.

ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
Hello there, I do think your website might be having internet browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however,
when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to
give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, wonderful website!
Here’s a quick share of how Jane decided to try Paybis to transfer her money from
her bank into crypto and then straight into her trading account, and honestly, her whole story turned out way more fun than anyone thought.
Jane isn’t your regular crypto newbie. Funny thing —
she collects tiny vintage globes and has exactly 27 of them lined up
behind her desk. Another random thing is that she can solve a
Rubik’s cube in under 40 seconds. So when she discovered Paybis,
she approached it with the same energy — fast,
efficient, and determined.
She said, she wanted a platform that wouldn’t “fight her back,” because her bank is already stressful enough.
Paybis ended up being perfect: smooth verification,
easy deposit, and she was able to convert her bank funds into crypto in literally minutes.
She laughed saying it was easier than ordering sushi.
Once the crypto hit her wallet, she jumped straight into her trading platform — zero friction. And because
she’s Jane, she turned it into a personal speed-challenge.
She timed every step, and of course, she made a whole spreadsheet about it.
Fun fact: Jane has 38 spreadsheets for her hobbies.
What surprised her most was how Paybis didn’t overwhelm her with
complicated menus. She likes things simple — after all, she once returned a coffee machine because
it had “too many buttons.” So the clean process from bank → crypto → trading felt like a win.
She casually dropped that anyone wanting to try the same flow
should check the link inside this comment, but she didn’t want to make a big
deal of it. Just said it might be helpful.
In the end, Jane’s whole experience using Paybis was smooth,
surprisingly fun, and very “Jane-style” — structured, quirky, and full of little experiments.
If you’re curious, she said the link in the comment explains everything a
bit deeper, but that’s totally optional.
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d
like to send you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested
in hearing. Either way, great website and I look
forward to seeing it expand over time.
