The global shrimp industry. (a) Shrimp and salmon are the highest internationally‐traded seafood commodities by value. In 2016, salmon overtook shrimp as the highest value traded commodity. Data, obtained from the FAO's FishStat J Global Fishery and Aquaculture Commodity Statistics Dataset, shows the total global market value of exports over time. (b) Weighted average GDP per capita of the top 10 shrimp and salmon exporting and importing countries. Weighted averages were calculated by taking the sum of imports/exports (data from the FAO's FishStat J Global Fishery and Aquaculture Commodity Statistics Dataset) for the top 10 countries and calculating each country's fraction of this. This fraction was then multiplied by the GDP per capita for that country (World Bank databank; 2015 data) to obtain the weighted average score. Total aquaculture (green); Shrimp (red); Salmon (blue).
