Globalisation in Fisheries and Aquaculture
Opportunities and Challenges

This overview of global markets for fish and fish products finds that they have changed considerably over the past few decades and continue to do so, with ever growing interactions across countries and continents. Change has brought substantial benefits to the world economy and a number of policy challenges for governments. To meet these challenges, without compromising the advantages of increasing market interactions, countries must develop and implement fisheries management frameworks and aquaculture strategies that accommodate globalisation without undermining resource sustainability.

This annex provides an overview of the four major markets for fish and fish products: groundfish, salmon, shrimp and tuna.
