Metadata Sub-indicator 14.7.1.1. Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture as a proportion of GDP

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Target 14.7. By 2030, increase the economic benefits to small island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism

Indicator 14.7.1. Sustainable fisheries as a proportion of GDP in small island developing States, least developed countries and all countries

Sub-indicator 14.7.1.1. Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture as a proportion of GDP

This indicator expresses the value added of sustainable marine capture fisheries as a proportion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Steps for the calculation:

Percentage of fisheries and aquaculture relative to GDP:

$$GDP_{FA} = \frac{GVA_{FA}}{GDP}$$

where $GVA_{FA}$ is the Gross Value Added of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and $GDP$ is the Gross Domestic Product (both for year t).

Breakdown of the GVA of marine capture fisheries and the GVA of aquaculture, based on the proportion of marine capture fish production to total fish production. This proportion is then multiplied by the percentage of GDP from fisheries and aquaculture:

$$GVA_{Marine} = GDP_{FA} \cdot \frac{MC}{T}$$

where $GVA_{Marine}$ is the Gross Value Added of marine capture fisheries, $MC$ is the marine capture production, and $T$ is the total fish production.

The value added from marine capture fisheries is then adjusted using the sustainability multiplier $S$, corresponding to SDG indicator 14.4.1:

$$MC\_S(\%GDP) = S \cdot GVA_{Marine}$$
