In the visualizations we see the change in aquaculture and capture fishery production from 1960 onwards. Except that for land-based animals, farming is many thousand years old while it was very uncommon for seafood until just over 50 years ago. The distinction between farmed fish and wild catch is similar to the difference between raising livestock rather than hunting wild animals. One innovation has helped to alleviate some of the pressure on wild fish catch: aquaculture, the practice of fish and seafood farming. Globally, the share of fish stocks which are overexploited – meaning we catch them faster than they can reproduce to sustain population levels – has more than doubled since the 1980s and this means that current levels of wild fish catch are unsustainable. This has increased pressure on fish stocks across the world. Not only has the world population more than doubled over this period, the average person now eats almost twice as much seafood as half a century ago. Global production of fish and seafood has quadrupled over the past 50 years.
