The graph and table below show the number of fishers in millions for different regions in 1980, 1990, and 2000, and the world's top exporters of fish in 2000.

The bar diagram illustrates the amount of fishers, expressed in millions, in different zones of the world every 10 years from 1980 to 2000.

Overall

, is crystal clear that Asia is the area where most of the fishermen are located and suffered the biggest increase,

whereas

in the other areas,

this

industry is insignificant and faintly varied over that period.

Firstly

, is appreciated that the market in Asia grew extraordinarily in comparison with the rest of the world, which barely changed. The eastern fisher industry rose from 8 to 13

million

in a decade and almost doubled the following.

While

in western regions like Africa raised by a

million

in the first 10 years and

then

stabilized at 3

million

.

In addition

, in the American continent, the south slightly rose between 1980 and 1990,

however

, the north region doubled in that period; later on, both areas stabilized at nearly 3

million

fishers.

Lastly

, going back to the eastern zone, in Europe, the number of workers related to

this

business fluctuated, reaching fewer fishermen in the world for that period with around half of the people working in the other years. To summarize, the largest number of workers in the fishing industry was achieved in 2000 in Asia, and the smallest in 1990 in Europe.
