WWW.WAS.ORG • WORLD AQUACULTURE • JUNE 2018 35 restricted to the production of lower-cost (in marketing terms) filterfeeding fish species (13.6 million t in 2016), including silver carp, bighead carp, catla and rohu (these species representing 25.2 percent of total fish production in 2016 (FAO 2018) In contrast to predominantly filter-feeding fish species, Table 2 shows the top compound feed fed fish and crustacean species groups produced in 2016. Total estimated fed fish and crustacean production in 2016 was estimated at 43.49 million t, with fed Chinese carp dominating production (15.09 million t or 34.7 percent of total fed species production in 2016), followed by tilapia (5.90 million t, 13.5 percent), shrimp (5.18 million t, 11.9 percent), catfish (5.06 million t, 11.6 percent), marine fish species (2.74 million t, 6.3 percent), other miscellaneous freshwater and diadromous fish species (2.51 million t, 5.8 percent), salmon (2.41 million t, 5.5 percent), freshwater crustaceans (2.28 million t, 5.2 percent), milkfish (1.19 million t, 2.7 percent), trout (0.84 million t, 1.9 percent), and eels (0.29 million t, 0.66 percent), respectively. Table 3 shows the reported global production of the major fed species groups by major cultured species and country producers in 2016, together with the assumptions used for estimating major species growth and feed usage from 2000 to 2016, with estimates for 2020 and 2025. Figure 9 to 19 shows the total global production of the major fed species from 2000 to 2016 based on reported FAO species production data (FAO 2018) and estimated compound feed usage, together with an estimate for species production and feed usage for 2020 and 2025. On the basis of the data presented it is estimated that total compound aquafeed usage was 49.6 million t in 2016, and expected to rise to 60.4 million t by 2020 and 76.2 million t by 2025, respectively (Figs. 20 and 21). Concluding Remarks Aquaculture continues to be the world’s fastest growing and most diverse food production sector, with over 95.6 percent of total aquaculture production being realized within developing countries and the sector growing at an average APR of 6.64 percent per year, compared with 1.15 percent for economically developed countries (FAO 2018).
