What the Data Shows
Global aquatic-animal production is divided among marine capture, inland capture, inland aquaculture and marine aquaculture in 2022. The four components total 185.4 million tonnes and use the same FAO production frame. Marine capture was the largest component at 79.7 million tonnes, or 43.0%. Inland aquaculture contributed 59.1 million tonnes, or 31.9%, while the two remaining components made up 25.1%.

Data notes & caveats
FAO identifies the 2022 figures as the latest complete four-component global frame in the supplied report. Component shares use the 185.4 million-tonne sum of the published values.
Methodology
Each published component was divided by the 185.4 million-tonne total, and the four shares were retained with the source tonnage beside each segment.
Source consistency notes
All four components come from the same FAO report, the same year and the same million-tonne unit.
