    Marine fisheries are crucial to the food security and nutrition, economy and overall well-being of coastal communities. Maintaining the long-term prosperity and sustainability of marine fisheries is therefore not only ecologically significant, but has social, economic and political importance. The aim of this report is to provide FAO Members, national and regional policymakers, academia, civil society, fishers and managers of world fishery resources with a comprehensive, objective and global review of the state of the living fishery resources of the oceans. This document updates the regular reviews of the state of the world’s marine fishery resources, based on stock assessments and complementary information up to 2023, and official catch statistics through to 2021. The introductory and methodology chapters provide the wider context in which this updated edition of the Review of the state of world marine fishery resources was prepared, highlighting evolutions in the landscape of fisheries and stock assessment capacities since the previous edition of this report in 2011. The methodology section gives a detailed overview of the updated FAO process for providing the state of stocks index, which involved a highly participatory and transparent process (including 19 regional workshops and consultations, with around 650 in-person experts representing 92 countries and 200 organizations). Importantly, the total number of stocks in the assessments included in this report has significantly increased to 2 570. Discussions on major trends and changes at the global level are explored in a dedicated global overview chapter, while more detailed information on the status of stocks for each of the FAO Major Fishing Areas is set out in dedicated regional chapters. Special sections address the global issue of tunas and tuna-like species, and other high-profile fisheries such as deep-sea fisheries in areas beyond national jurisdiction, and highly migratory sharks. Summary tables are provided for each species grouping used in this assessment, indicating the number of stocks included, their sustainability classification between overfished, maximally sustainably fished, and underfished categories, and the number of stocks classified into tiers based on the availability and quality of information and thus the assessment methods used.

    Guideline
    International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas/Directives internationales sur la gestion de la pêche profonde en haute mer/ Directrices Internacionales para la Ordenación de las Pesquerías de Aguas Profundas en Alta Mar 2009
    Also available in:
    These International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheriesin the High Seas were developed through a participatory process involving fisheries experts, fishery managers from governments, the fishing industry,academia and non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations. The guidelines are designed to provide guidance on management factors ranging from an appropriate regulatory framework to the components of a good data collection programme, and include the identification of key management considerations and measures necessary to ensure the conservation of target and non-target species, as well as affected habitats. These guidelines are voluntary and constitute an instrument of reference to help States and RFMO/As in formulating and implementing appropriate measures for the management of deep-sea fisheries in the high seas.Ces Directives internationales sur la gestion de la pêche profonde en haute mer ont été développées au moyen d’un processus participatif qui a impliqué des experts des pêches, des gestionnaires des pêches des gouvernements, l’industrie des pêches, des universités ainsi que des organisations non-gouvernementales et intergouvernementales. Les directives sont conçues pour donner des orientations sur différents aspects de la gestion allant du cadre réglementaire adéquat jusqu’aux composantes d’un bon système de cueillette de données, et elles incluent l’identification des considérations de gestions clés et des mesures nécessaires pour protéger les espèces cibles, les espèces accessoires et les habitats. Les directives sont facultatives et constituent un instrument de référence pour aider les États et les organisations et arrangements régionaux de gestion des pêches à formuler et à mettre en oeuvre des mesures appropriées pour la gestion des pêches profondes en haute mer.Estas Directrices Internacionales para la Ordenación de las Pesquerías de Aguas Profundas en Alta Mar fueron elaboradas a través de un proceso participativo en el que intervinieron expertos en pesquerías,administradores de pesquerías de distintos gobiernos, la industria pesquera, universidades y organizaciones no gubernamentales e intergubernamentales. Las directrices se diseñaron para proporcionar orientación sobre factores de ordenación que abarcan tanto el establecimiento de un marco regulador adecuado como la elaboración de un programa eficaz de recopilación de datos, pasando por la identificación de las consideraciones fundamentales sobre la ordenación y por las medidas que deben adoptarse para garantizar la conservación de las especies que son o no objeto de pesca, así como la de los habitats afectados. Las directrices tienen carácter voluntario y constituyen un instrumento de referencia para ayudar a los Estados y a las organizaciones y los acuerdos regionales de ordenación pesquera en la elaboración y aplicación de las medidas adecuadas para la ordenación de las pesquerías de aguas profundas en alta mar.
