Aquaculture growth potential in
Asia
WAPI factsheet to facilitate evidence-based policy-making and sector management in aquaculture
March 2020
Preparation of this factsheet
This factsheet provides data and information to facilitate the assessment of aquaculture growth potential in Asia.
Analyses in the factsheet are based on official data and statistics published by FAO and other international or national organizations. The data and statistics, which were the most updated at the time when the factsheet was prepared, may differ from data and statistics used in other WAPI factsheets because of different data sources or different versions of the same datasets.
The term “country” used in this factsheet includes non-sovereign territory. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this information product do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) concerning the legal or development status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
Unless noted otherwise, country grouping in this factsheet follows the United Nations M49 standard.
The preparation of the factsheet has benefited from tables and charts generated by various World Aquaculture Performance Indicator (WAPI) modules. Most of these data analysis tools are for FAO internal use, yet some of them are available for testuse. Visit the WAPI webpage for more information about WAPI information and knowledge products.
The factsheet was prepared by Junning Cai, Xiaowei Zhou and Giulia Galli. The validity and relevance of the results depend onthe quality (in terms of timeliness and accuracy) of the underlying data and statistics used in the analyses – see some remarks on FAO aquaculture statistics in Slide 3. Errors could also occur in the analyses despite our efforts to minimize them. Please let us know if you have any concern.
Contact: Junning Cai (FAO Aquaculture Officer); [email protected]; [email protected].

Remarks on FAO aquaculture statistical data – Asia
FAO aquaculture statistics are based on data submitted by member countries. When there is a lack of data formally reported by a country, FAO usually estimate the country’s aquaculture production based on data and information from alternative sources or rely on relatively conservative estimation methods when alternative data sources are not readily available.
Many countries lack a national statistics system for collection of aquaculture production data on a regular basis for dissemination and for reporting to FAO. Only 25 countries or territories in Asia reported aquaculture production data to FAO in all the five years during 2013–2017. They are Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, China, China, Hong Kong SAR, Cyprus, Iran (Islamic Rep. of), Iraq, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan Province of China, Thailand, and Turkey.
There is an urgent need for national capacity development in aquaculture statistics system at several levels, including (i) the legal status, institutionalization and resource allocation; (ii) development of national statistical standards in line with international standards; (iii) adequate and stable staffing plus an effective mechanism for data collection, compilation, storage, dissemination and reporting.
For further information about FAO statistics on aquaculture production, contact: Xiaowei Zhou (FAO Aquaculture Officer (Statistics); [email protected]).

Species grouping
In this factsheet, “fish” is used as a general term for convenience. When it is necessary to define the scope of a species group in order to correspond a specific quantitative measure, the following definitions are used:
Aquatic products = Fish & seafood + Miscellaneous aquatic animal products + Aquatic plants
Fish & seafood = Finfish + Shellfish + Miscellaneous aquatic animals.
Finfish = Marine fishes + Diadromous fishes + Freshwater fishes
Shellfish = Crustaceans + Molluscs
Molluscs = Shell molluscs (i.e. molluscs excluding cephalopods) + Cephalopods

Asia (1993–2013): Food balance sheet for fish & seafood
Food fish supply from domestic sources increased from 45 099 152 tonnes in 1993 to 104 277 869 tonnes in 2013.
Domestic fish consumption increased from 46 123 240 tonnes to 99 772 312 tonnes.
The 104 277 869 tonnes food fish supply from domestic sources in 2013 = 99 772 312 tonnes domestic fish consumption + 4 505 551 tonnes net food fish export.
The 3.93 percent annual growth rate in total fish consumption was higher than the 1.25 percent population growth during the period, resulting in an increase in per capita fish consumption from 14.3 kg to 23.1 kg.

Asia (total fish consumption, 1993–2013):
The increase in total fish consumption from 46.1 million tonnes in 1993 to 99.8 million tonnes in 2013 was driven by both population growth (from 3.4 billion to 4.3 billion) and the increase in per capita fish consumption (from 14.3 kg to 23.1 kg).

Asia (aquaculture species composition in aquaculture, 2017):
Asia’s 103 million tonnes of aquaculture production in 2017 comprised 45.4 percent of finfish (mostly freshwater fishes), 22.9 percent of shellfish and 31.6 percent of other species (primarily aquatic plants).
The pattern was similar to that of the world, since Asia accounted for 92 percent of the world aquaculture production in 2017.

Asia: Aquaculture growth potential from the supply-side perspective
Asia’s share in world aquaculture production tonnage in 2017 (91.92 percent) is:
Much greater than its share of world total land area (including inland water surface) (23.85 percent).
Much greater than its share of total world renewable water resources (26.38 percent).
Much greater than its share in world population (59.87 percent).
Asia’s share in world inland aquaculture production in2017 (92.51 percent) is much greater than its shareof world total inland water surface area (22.13percent).
