🐟 Wild-Caught Fish: A Breakdown by Ocean

What We’re Showing

This map visualizes how much wild-caught fish is sourced from each of the world’s oceans annually. Data was sourced from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, current up to 2022.

Most of it comes from the Pacific

Nearly 60% of all fish caught in the ocean are captured in the Pacific.

Covering more than 60 million square miles, the Pacific’s vast size and varying ecosystems support a wide variety of fish species, making it highly productive for fishing.
