In comparison to the Aquaculture sector, the diversity of species resulting from Capture fishing is much larger.

The first reason being that eventhough specific marine areas can concentrate a large percentage of a particular species, a fishing boat will, however, hardly be able select exactly which species will end up in its net. Moreover, not all species can be raised in aquaculture: humans did not “domesticate” so many of them, as we do not fully master their captive reproduction, because we started later than for land animals. This explains why fishing stalls offer a much larger variety of species than that of the butcher’s. The second being that the choice of species farmed in Aquaculture depends on offer and demand, whereas capture Fishery relies only on geography. | ||
Regulations to prevent over-fishing as well as ecological variations however also constantly redefine the landscape of capture Fishery. The production of Anchovetas<ref name=anchoveta /> in Peru, for instance, was 3 times more developed than any other species before 2014. Due to the impact of Hurricane El Niño as well as strong regulations, the production was divided by 3 in 3 years, putting Anchovetas on the second step of the podium in 2016. | Regulations to prevent over-fishing as well as ecological variations however also constantly redefine the landscape of capture Fishery.
