After a significant decrease from high catches between 1965 and 1989, total capture production in the Southeast Atlantic has been stable at about 1.4 million tonnes per year in the last decade. The bulk of these catches now comes from the EEZs of the three coastal countries (Angola, Namibia and South Africa) as catches of non-tuna species in the high seas have fallen to a few hundred tonnes in recent years.

In the Antarctic fishing areas managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, catches of krill ( _Euphausia superba_ ) increased substantially up to almost 300 000 tonnes in 2014, a level not reached since the early 1990s, while catches of the highly priced Patagonian toothfish ( _Dissostichus eleginoides_ ) remained stable at about 11 000 tonnes owing to management measures.

Data quality remains a concern for some major producers. Marine catches reported by Indonesia and Myanmar have increased markedly and continuously in the last 20 years. However, the fact that reported capture production did not decline significantly or continued to increase when natural disasters occurred (e.g. the tsunami of December 2004 and Cyclone Nargis in May 2008) made FAO concerned about the reliability of their official statistics. For Indonesia, new estimates, such as those produced by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, showed that catches might have been underestimated in the past and, consequently, the increasing trend could also have resulted from a better coverage of the enormous number of scattered landing sites. For Myanmar, recent findings by FAO have shown that official statistics were based on target levels rather than on real data collection. FAO is now in contact with the Myanmar's Department of Fisheries both to run a pilot project to improve data collection in one region (with a view to extending this to the whole country), and to revise together the official capture production figures for the last 10-15 years.

In contrast to the revision of Myanmar data, which is expected to result in lower recorded total catches, improvements to national data collection systems usually produce increased registered catches due to a better system and improved coverage. An FAO Technical Cooperation Programme project is being executed in collaboration with the Regional Fisheries Committee for the Gulf of Guinea to strengthen fishery data collection systems in five countries in Africa. It has found that Cameroon's existing data collection system did not cover about 13 000 canoes. Estimates of national catches have been introduced to the FAO

 After a significant decrease from high catches between 1965 and 1989, entire capture product in the Southeast Atlantic has been stable at about 1.4 million tonnes per class in the last decade.

 In the Antarctic fishing areas managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, catches of krill (_ Euphausia superba _) increased substantially up to about 300 000 tonnes in 2014, a level not reached since the early nineties, while catches of the highly priced Patagonian toothfish (_ Dissostichus eleginoides _) remained stable at about 11 000 metric ton owing to management measurement. 

 Data quality remains a concern for some major producer. Marine catches reported by Indonesia and Myanmar have increased markedly and continuously in the last 20 years. However, the fact that reported capture production did not decline significantly or continued to increase when natural disasters occurred (e.g. the tsunami of December 2004 and Cyclone Nargis in May 2008) made FAO concerned about the dependability of their official statistic. For Indonesia, new estimates, such as those produced by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, testify that catches might have been underestimated in the past and, consequently, the increasing drift could also have resulted from a better coverage of the enormous number of spread landing sites. For Myanmar, recent findings by FAO have shown that official statistics were base on target levels rather than on real datum collection. FAO is immediately in liaison with the Myanmar's Department of Fisheries both to tend a pilot project to improve datum collection in one region (with a view to extending this to the whole country), and to revise together the official capture production design for the last 10 - 15 year.
