The ‘State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture’ (SOFIA) report [▻http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5555e.pdf], released on 7 July, shows an increase in fish production and consumption, largely driven by farmed fish.

[...] Yet the overall picture is not rosy for wild fish. “The state of the world’s marine fish stocks has not improved overall, despite notable progress in some areas,” the SOFIA report notes.

In 1974, the FAO assessed 90% of commercial, wild stocks as being fished at sustainable levels. By 2013, this had declined to 68.6%.
