Global Trade and Fisheries

Global trade in fisheries involves the exchange of fish and seafood products between countries, driven by demand, specializations, and resource availability. Countries with abundant fish stocks export surplus seafood, while others import to meet domestic needs. Sustainable management is essential to prevent overfishing and protect ocean health. International agreements and regulations help coordinate fishing efforts, ensure fair trade, and promote conservation. Overall, global fisheries trade supports economies, food security, and livelihoods worldwide, but requires careful regulation to balance economic benefits with environmental sustainability.
