TOP Countries by Export from Fishery and Aquaculture since 1976
This bar chart race shows the total reported export from fisheries and aquaculture by country/territory and world from 1976 to 2021, measured in total value of US Dollars.
Global seafood exports play a vital role in international trade, contributing significantly to the economies of many countries. The seafood export industry encompasses products from both capture fisheries and aquaculture. Key players in the global seafood export market include China, Norway, Vietnam, Thailand, and the United States.
China has consistently been a major exporter, with a diverse range of seafood products, including fish, shellfish, and processed items. Norway is renowned for its high-quality seafood, particularly salmon. Other countries like Vietnam and Thailand are major players in the shrimp and prawn export market. The United States is a significant exporter of various seafood products, including lobster and certain types of fish.
Total global seafood exports have experienced growth over the years, driven by increasing demand for seafood products, globalization of the seafood supply chain, and advances in aquaculture technologies. However, challenges such as overfishing, environmental concerns, and regulatory issues have also impacted the industry.
In recent years, sustainable practices in both capture fisheries and aquaculture have gained importance. Certification programs like the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for wild-caught seafood and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) for farmed seafood aim to promote environmentally responsible and socially acceptable practices.
Some of the most important export products from this sector include:
Fish Fillets and Frozen Fish: Filleted and frozen fish, including popular varieties like cod, salmon, and tuna, are staple exports in the seafood industry.
Shrimp and Prawns: Shrimp and prawn exports, especially from countries like India, Thailand, and Ecuador, constitute a significant portion of the global seafood trade.
Salmon: Norway and other countries are major exporters of salmon, which is highly sought after for its quality and versatility.
Lobsters and Crabs: Lobster exports, notably from countries like Canada and the United States, are prized for their premium quality. Crab exports, including species like king crab and snow crab, also contribute significantly.
Canned Tuna: Canned tuna is a widely exported product, with countries like Thailand and the Philippines playing key roles in meeting global demand.
Squid and Octopus: Squid and octopus exports, often sourced from regions like Asia and Latin America, cater to both domestic and international markets.
Scallops and Mussels: Scallops and mussels, farmed or harvested from the wild, are important exports, with countries like China and Japan contributing significantly.
Fishmeal and Fish Oil: Derived from processing fish, fishmeal and fish oil are crucial exports used in aquaculture feeds and various industries.
Processed Seafood Products: Value-added products such as fish sticks, surimi, and smoked fish are exported globally, meeting diverse consumer preferences.
Aquaculture Products: Farmed species, including tilapia, catfish, and pangasius, contribute substantially to global seafood exports, supporting the growth of aquaculture industries.
