The number of aquatic animals harvested worldwide by farming is now higher than the amount fished from the wild, the United Nations found.

Farmed aquatic animals include fish, shrimp, clams, and others. The U. N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recently released a report on fisheries and aquaculture, or farming in water.

In 2022, the report said more than 167 million metric tons of aquatic animals were caught and harvested.

Some 90 percent of aquatic animals that are farmed or fished are for humans to eat.

The rest are for other uses like feed for other animals or fish oils.
