The line graph compares how many fishermen in millions were in different regions – Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and Europe – in 1980, 1990, and 2000. Meanwhile, the list shows the top ten producers of fish across the globe in 2000.
Overall, Asia had significantly more fishers than other regions, which was increasing over the period. While Africa, South and North America experienced a slight increase, Europe was fluctuating and did not show any net change roughly. Moreover, as expected, most of the top exporters of fish were from countries within Asia.
Starting with the table, Thailand was the most dominant country, followed by Norway and the USA, while Russia, Indonesia, and South Korea were the last in the top ten leaderboards. Turning to the graph, in 1980, fishers in Asia were just under 10 million, and in Africa and South America, about 2 million fishers could be found. Remaining regions were approximately a million.
Through out 3 decades, Asia experienced a dramatic rise to almost 23 million, even more than its double amount in 1980. However, except for a minor growth to approximately 2.5 million between 1980 and 1990, Africa and South America stayed almost the same. Moreover, North America underwent an increase equivalent to its double in 1990 and stayed the same after. Additionally, Europe did not show an overall net change – staying at under approximately a million over the period, albeit a notable drop to half a million in 1990.
