1) Fish consumption in Africa is lower than the world average, with inland countries consuming far less than coastal and island nations. However, Africa sees a greater importance of fish as part of total animal protein consumption.
2) The largest fish producers in Africa are Egypt, Nigeria, and Morocco, with the largest aquaculture industries located in Egypt and Nigeria. However, many African fisheries are overexploited.
3) By 2030, population and income growth are expected to increase demand for fish in Africa beyond available supply, potentially leading to a shortage of 7 million tonnes unless fisheries management and governance are improved.

1 Each country’s per capita food fish demand assumed to be equal to the level in 2007.
2 Based on population trends estimated by UN. Including both food and nonfood fish. Demand for nonfood fish in each country assumed to be equal to the level in 2007.
3 Preliminary estimation that considers the impact of income growth on per capita fish demand.

Fish supply-demand gaps
• Per capita fish demand in 2020
estimated based on assumptions:
– GDP per capita projection by IMF
– Prices unchanged
– Preference unchanged
• Total fish demand in 2030 estimated
based on:
– Estimated per capita demand in 2020.
– UN population projection in 2030.
– Non-food fish demand unchanged
• Results:
– Supply < Demand
• 51 mt shortage
– S-D gaps decline in all regions
• Largest insufficiency in Asia

Western Sahara is occupied by Morocco and has no specific data
Population growth mainly in Asia and Africa, where per capita fish consumption lower than other regions.
Thus, world per capita fish demand would decline from 17.8 kg in 2007 to 16.6 kg in 2030 even if every country maintains its per capita consumption in 2007.
The first of these pentagrams is the 5 things we have to do as part of fisheries governance, namely:
Carrying out some form of Stock assessment.
Making a Total allowable catch or some equivalent decision on the basis of some rules that translate our science into catch.
Using this science as the basis for designing our fisheries management system,
Implementing some Enforcement & compliance, and
Collecting catch statistics and fleet information.
