World inland waters capture production

World catches in inland waters were about 11.9 million tonnes in 2014, continuing a positive trend that has resulted in a 37 percent increase in the past decade (Table 5). The bulk of global production is concentrated in only 16 countries, which have annual inland water catches exceeding 200 000 tonnes and together represent 80 percent of the world total.

It is well known that data collection systems for inland water catches in several countries are unreliable or non-existent. This has prompted some experts to propose estimates of global inland catches that are much higher than the figure assembled by FAO, or even greater than marine catches.7 However, given the limited number of countries with massive inland water catches, the additional millions of tonnes of unreported catches to be added to the current figure of about 12 million tonnes could only come from the top fishing countries.

Nevertheless, all of the top eight countries listed in Table 5 have already significantly increased their reported inland catches in recent years. Moreover, owing to issues of over-reporting in Myanmar (above), a downward revision is expected for its catches.

Some of the major fishing countries in Africa (the United Republic of Tanzania, Egypt and the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Europe/Asia (the Russian Federation) and South America (Brazil) have reported reduced catches in inland waters. Such decreases are not surprising as inland waters are highly affected by pollution, environmental degradation and, due to their limited habitats, resources can be easily overfished.
