Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing is a global problem, but the true scale remains unclear.
Here is what we know.

These are statistics of reported fish catches (that is, the weight of fish that are caught at sea and brought back to port), as well as estimates of discards (fish caught but discarded) and of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fish catches globally from 1950 to 2015.
These figures are aggregated from fishing events in the Global Fisheries Landings v4 dataset. The analysis is described in Watson 2017.
“Illegal” catch in these figures refers to Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. The total catch is the sum of reported and illegal catch (but not discards).
Disccard percentage is the discarded fish, expressed as a percentage of the total (reported and illegal) catch.
Note that data was unavailable in some regions during some years.
