How large is Atlantic Ocean?
Atlantic Ocean
In the Eastern Central Atlantic small pelagic fishes constitute about 50% of landings with sardine reaching 0.6–1.0 million tons per year.  Pelagic fish stocks are considered fully fishes or overfished, with sardines south of Cape Bojador the notable exception.  Almost half of stocks are fished at biologically unsustainable levels.  Total catches have been fluctuating since the 1970s; reaching 3.9 million tons in 2013 or slightly less than the peak production in 2010.[73]
