Extended Data Table 1 Absolute contributions of small-scale fisheries

From: Illuminating the multidimensional contributions of small-scale fisheries

  1. Global and regional contributions of marine and inland small-scale fisheries for catch, micronutrients, employment, livelihoods and women’s employment. Total and women’s employment include pre-harvest, harvest and post-harvest activities. Livelihoods include employed/subsistence fishers plus partial or fully dependent household members. In parentheses 95% confidence intervals are shown for catch, employment and livelihoods. Micronutrient values are the average contribution to dietary intake of six micronutrients (calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A) for coastal populations, where uncertainty is the lowest and highest value for individual micronutrients. Although fatty acids are not defined as micronutrients, because the RI (recommended intake) for omega-3 fatty acids that are concentrated in aquatic foods (EPA and DHA) is within the micronutrient range, here we refer collectively to all six nutrients as micronutrients.
