Key economic figures of global fisheries.

NPV: Net Present Value.
*The (resource) rent is the return to ‘owners’ of fish stocks, which is the surplus from gross revenue after total cost of fishing is deducted and subsidies taken into account.
**Transition costs include the costs to society of reducing current fishing effort to levels consistent with maximum sustainable yield and the payments governments may decide to employ to adjust capital and labour to uses outside the fisheries sector. Such payments may include vessel buyback programs and alternative employment training initiatives for fishers.
