2026-09-22 · percent of fish for human consumption

Half of fish we eat is farmed

Aquaculture passed wild catch — salmon and shrimp lead.

Biomass grids are about weight on Earth, not headcount — a whale and a mouse can share a color family but not a cell count story. This grid divides fish supply (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — Aquaculture and Wild capture — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.

1 cell = 0.1 percent of fish for human consumption (0.1% of fish supply) · 1,000 cells

Half of fish we eat is farmed. Aquaculture passed wild catch — salmon and shrimp lead.
