Fishermen Decline Over Decade
Official data recorded a significant decline in the number of fishermen in the Kingdom of Bahrain over the past decade, decreasing by 29.2% between 2015 and 2025—from 6,257 fishermen to approximately 4,429 fishermen. Despite the reduction in the number of fishermen, fishery production remained steady at around 17,000 tons during the same years, with fluctuations in its highest and lowest levels—peaking at 21,000 tons in 2018 and dipping to 13,000 tons in 2021. The number of fishing boats also decreased by 16.1% over ten years, from 1,637 to 1,373 boats; however, the average catch per boat increased by nearly 19%, rising from about 10.4 to 12.4 tons. These figures indicate a significant shift in the size of the workforce and fishing activity in Bahrain, with production remaining stable despite a decline in the number of boats and fishermen.
