Book excerpt: FAO's State of World's Fisheries and Aquaculture presents a world review of fisheries and aquaculture including trends and statistics. This year's publication presents trends in fish production, consumption and trade, as well FAO's "Blue Growth" initiative, which represents a coherent framework for the sustainable integrated and socio-economically sensitive management of oceans and wetlands. Other themes highlighted include the role of aquaculture in improving nutrition, the importance of reducing post-harvest losses in small-scale fisheries and challenges and opportunities for utilization of fisheries by-products.
