Abstract
According to FAO estimates, global consumption of fish, currently 140 million tonnes, is likely to reach 200 million tonnes by 2030 [1]. Industrialized countries where households have strong purchasing power will increase their demand, while developing and emerging countries will use this as a basis to increase both their aquaculture production and the number of fish caught for export. Overall, the demand from international markets will lead to an increase of fish trade from low income countries to wealthy ones with severe nutritional consequences for population who rely heavily on fish for animal proteins.

The demand from international markets will lead to an increase of fish trade from low income countries to wealthy ones with severe nutritional consequences for population who rely heavily on fish for animal proteins
International agencies such as FAO, UNEP, UNDP and UNIDO, in conjunction with regional and national institutions have to set up priorities to face this situation and contribute to the implementation of a more equitable fish trade
The first priority is to ensure a nutritional security for the population of developing countries that are exporting more and more fish
Summary
International agencies such as FAO, UNEP, UNDP and UNIDO, in conjunction with regional and national institutions have to set up priorities to face this situation and contribute to the implementation of a more equitable fish trade. Nutritional security, healthy marine ecosystems and value added priorities for developing coastal countries Industrialised countries where households have strong purchasing power will increase their demand, while developing and emerging countries will use this as a basis to increase both their aquaculture production and the number of fish caught for export.
