This represents 3% of global total fisheries and aquaculture production. Total fish production increased by 12% in volume but decreased by 18% in value between Pacific coast, which represent 97.4% in volume and 84.8% in value. Aquaculture is an expanding sector and represents 2.5% of volume and 15% in value and takes place mostly in inland areas. In 2022, Peru capture production.
