The growth will be primarily driven by gains in aquaculture output, which is projected to reach 49% of total fishery production in 2023. However, growth in aquaculture production is anticipated to slow down to 2.5% p.a., Relative to the previous decade, fish consumption growth in the outlook period will decelerate due to high fish prices and slower population growth. The main drivers affecting world fish prices for capture, aquaculture and traded products will be income and population growth, limited growth of capture fisheries production, sustained demand for fish, increasing meat prices, and high costs for feed, energy and crude oil.
