Abstract
During the last 60 years, the world marine fisheries potential has been estimated between 22x10^6 tons and 1 400x10^6 tons. However, there are no certain indications of when and with what probability such potential will be reached. By fitting a logistic curve to the observed world marine catch, corrected for discards and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, here we calculated that such potential stands between 132x10^6 tons and 153x10^6 tons and might be achieved as soon as the year 2027, with 95% confidence.
