The coastal and inland waters of the country in 2011 generated over 1,660, 000 tons of fishery and aquaculture products, which were the result of work conducted in 19,696 economic units linked to the sector, informed the Commission National Aquaculture and Fisheries (CONAPESCA).

These activities have triggered the growth of investment and productivity in this sector, providing a direct income for more than 250,000 fishermen.
