The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has seen its predictions related to production, demand and consumption of fish validated by a new report from The Lancet.
As the global population moves towards nine billion, it has been estimated that global food production must increase by at least 60 percent by 2030, says the FAO.
The increase in food production includes an estimated 200 million tons to 260 million metric tons of fish, mostly to be produced through aquaculture, said Arni Mathiesen, assistant director general, at the FAO.
