Marine fisheries catch and discards

The location of the fishery areas recognised by FAO for statistical purposes is shown on this map, with symbols representing the approximate late 1990s yield from capture fisheries and the volume of discarded catch, most of which is presumed not to survive. Each symbol represents approximately 1 million tonnes.
