Fisheries and aquaculture in Germany - statistics & facts
Fisheries and aquaculture in Germany are facing challenges: the effects of climate change and environmental pollution, energy costs, and labor shortage. German sea fishery landings both inland and abroad amounted to around 150,250 tons of catch weight in 2022. Figures have been decreasing in recent years and may also be related to overfishing, which leads to a depleting fish supply. Landings comprise the part of the catch that is transferred ashore. Catch is an encompassing term meaning marine animals removed from the marine environment.
