Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) have been increasing in numbers worldwide over the last decade to improve fishery practices towards sustainability. This paper tries to analyse the current status and performance of fisheries currently involved in FIPs and listed in the website Fishery Progress (www.fisheryprogress.org). Out of the 126 analysed FIPs, 59 FIPs did not show any changes in status, in addition to 6 FIPs with no status information. These fisheries double the total landings of the fisheries that showed improvements. The results reveal that young FIPs (those 2 years old or less) account for 42 out of the 59 that did not show any changes in status. Weak relationship between the improvements in scores and actions completed or cumulative duration (spent time) of the project was observed. FAO areas with highest scores were in the northern hemisphere while the lowest were in the south. The finding of fisheries scoring poorly in the global south may reflect data gaps rather than poor performance, or a mixture of the two that demands care of interpretation.

过去十年来，全球范围内渔业改善项目（FIP）的数量不断增加，以改善渔业实践以实现可持续性。本文试图分析当前参与FIP并在渔业进展网站（www.fisheryprogress.org）中列出的渔业的现状和表现。在分析的126个FIP中，除了6个FIP没有状态信息之外，还有59个FIP没有显示任何状态变化。这些渔业的总登陆量翻了一番，显示出了改善。结果显示，在状态没有任何变化的59个中，年轻的FIP（2岁或以下）占42个。分数改善与完成的动作或项目的累积持续时间（花费的时间）之间的关系微弱。得分最高的粮农组织区域位于北半球，而得分最低的区域位于南部。在全球南部发现的渔业评分不佳可能反映了数据缺口而不是绩效不佳，或者这两种情况的混合需要仔细解释。
