Finfishes是从野外捕获的食物,饲料(通常以鱼粉和油的形式)和诱饵。联合国粮食及农业组织(FAO)2000-2019年,每年捕获7400万至8300万吨(平均7700万吨)。尽管鱼类现在被广泛认为是有知觉的生物,捕获仍然被量化为生物量,而不是个体数量(与野生捕获的海洋哺乳动物和鳄鱼形成对比;以及养殖的哺乳动物和鸟类)。这里,我们使用粮农组织捕获生产(着陆)吨位(2000-2019年数据)和捕获时平均个体重量的估计来估计全球野生捕获的除鱼数量,基于互联网来源的捕获和市场权重。我们估计在1100到2200亿之间(1.1-2.2×1012),或1.1-2.2万亿,每年都会捕获野生飞鱼,平均而言,2000-2019年。Anchoveta(Engraulisringens)占28%,通过估计中点。2019年估计数字,总计980-19,000亿,由于an鱼着陆减少,但仍占因食物或饲料而死亡的脊椎动物数量的87.5%,根据粮农组织数据获得或估计。这些数字不包括非法捕鱼等未记录的捕获,丢弃和幽灵钓鱼。用于减少鱼粉和鱼油的估计有鳍鱼数量占2010年估计总数(1,000-19,000亿)的56%,通过中点。建议粮农组织报告鱼类捕捞数量。野生鱼类的福利,在捕获期间和捕获之后通常非常差,应作为可持续利用水生资源的一部分来解决。
Finfishes are caught from the wild for food, feed (often in the form of fishmeal and oil) and bait. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), between 74 and 83 million tonnes (averaging 77 million tonnes) were caught annually in 2000-2019. Although fishes are now widely recognised as sentient beings, capture is still quantified as biomass rather than number of individuals (in contrast to wild-caught marine mammals and crocodiles; and farmed mammals and birds). Here, we estimate global numbers of wild-caught finfishes using FAO capture production (landing) tonnages (2000-2019 data) and estimates of mean individual weight at capture, based on internet-sourced capture and market weights. We estimate that between 1,100 and 2,200 billion (1.1-2.2 × 1012), or 1.1-2.2 trillion, wild finfishes were caught annually, on average, during 2000-2019. Anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) comprised 28%, by estimate midpoint. Estimated numbers in 2019, totalling 980-1,900 billion, were lower due to reduced anchoveta landings, but still represented 87.5% of vertebrate numbers killed for food or feed, as obtained or estimated from FAO data. These figures exclude unrecorded capture such as illegal fishing, discards and ghost fishing. Estimated finfish numbers used for reduction to fishmeal and oil represented 56% of the total 2010 estimate (1,000-1,900 billion), by midpoint. It is recommended that the FAO reports fish capture numbers. The welfare of wild-caught fishes, which is generally very poor during and after capture, should be addressed as part of sustainable utilisation of aquatic resources.
