How this figure is calculated
Seafood production: wild fish catch vs. aquaculture divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Seafood production: wild fish catch vs. aquaculture ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Seafood production: wild fish catch vs. aquaculture Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), via World Bank (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
