The World Bank Group (WBG) Agriculture Action Plan 2013-15 summarizes critical challenges facing the global food and agriculture sector. An ever-increasing global population necessitates adequate food and nutrition for the growing population through increased production and reduced waste. Production increase must occur in a context where resources necessary for food production, such as land and water, are even scarcer in a more crowded world, and thus the sector needs to be far more efficient in utilizing productive resources. The important issues addressed herein are: 1) health of global capture fisheries; 2) the role of aquaculture in filling the global fish supply - demand gap and potentially reducing the pressure on capture fisheries; and 3) implications of changes in the global fish markets on fish consumption, especially in China and Sub-Saharan Africa.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUNDANCE OF FISHACIDIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTUREANIMAL PROTEINAQUACULTUREAQUACULTURE GROWTHAQUACULTURE INDUSTRYAQUACULTURE MANAGEMENTAQUACULTURE PRODUCTIONAQUACULTURE SECTORAQUACULTURE SPECIESAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUATIC ENVIRONMENTAQUATIC RESOURCESCAPTURE FISHERIESCAPTURE FISHERIES PRODUCTIONCARPCATCHESCATFISHCLAMSCLIMATE CHANGECOASTAL COMMUNITIESCOASTAL RESOURCESCODCONSUMPTION OF FISHCOST EFFECTIVENESSCROPSCROWDING OUTCRUSTACEANSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDIADROMOUS FISHECONOMIC LOSSESECONOMIC MODELSEELSELASTICITIESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEQUILIBRIUMFARMERSFEEDFEED COMPOSITIONFISHFISH CONSUMPTIONFISH DATAFISH DISEASESFISH FARMSFISH MARKETSFISH OILFISH POPULATIONSFISH PRICESFISH PROCESSINGFISH PROCESSING WASTEFISH PRODUCTIONFISH PRODUCTSFISH SPECIESFISH STOCKSFISH TRADEFISH UTILIZATIONFISH WASTEFISHERIESFISHERIES MANAGEMENTFISHERIES PRODUCTIONFISHERIES SERVICEFISHERIES STATISTICSFISHERSFISHERYFISHMEALFOOD COMMODITYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD POLICY RESEARCHFOOD PRODUCTFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFRESHWATER FISHGENETICSGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL FISH PRODUCTIONGLOBAL FISHERIESGLOBAL MARINE FISHERIESGLOBAL SEAFOODGLOBAL SEAFOOD TRADEGLOBAL TRADEGROWTH OF AQUACULTUREHUNGERINCOMESINTERNATIONAL TRADEISLAND STATESKEY FISHLAGOONSLAND USELEVELS OF STOCKSLIVELIHOODSLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSMARINE CAPTURE FISHERIESMARINE ECOSYSTEMSMARINE FISHMARINE FISHERIESMARINE MAMMALMARINE WATERSMARKET INTERACTIONSMARKETINGMAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELDMILKFISHMSYMUSSELSNATIONAL MARINE FISHERIESNATURAL RESOURCESNUTRITIONOCEAN TEMPERATURESOCEAN WATERSOCEANSOIL PRICESOYSTERSPERCENT OF FISHERYPOLLUTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPRAWNSPRICE CHANGESPRICE ELASTICITIESPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVE RESOURCESQUOTASRESOURCE MANAGEMENTSALMONSALMON SUPPLYSCALLOPSSEASEAFOODSEAFOOD DEMANDSEAFOOD INDUSTRYSEAFOOD MARKETSEAFOOD TRADESHRIMPSMALL-SCALE FISHERIESSTATE OF WORLD FISHERIESSTOCK ASSESSMENTSSTOCK RECOVERYSUPPLY CURVESSUPPLY OF FISHSUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FISHERIESSWORDFISHTECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESSTILAPIATRADE OF FISHTROUTTUNAWORLD FISH10.1596/17579
