International food and raw material security issueshas gained much more importance than ever. This studyexamines that the following questions ‘Who depends onwhom?’ and ‘What is the level of dependency?’ consideringrelationships between “fisheries context” (catch andaquaculture production, total fisheries export and import,fisheries export and import value, fish consumption percapita, and processed fisheries product) and humandevelopment of countries (as Human DevelopmentIndex-HDI). The overall result of the study pointed thatthe countries located in the highest categories in terms ofHDI were both export and import-dependent. The mostimportance levels of dependency for the Low DevelopedCountries (HDI < 0.550) were fish consumption, and totalimports; for Medium Developed Countries (0.550 ≤ HDI <0.699) were export value, exports, and catch production;for High Developed Countries (0.699 ≤ HDI <0.80) wastotal exports; for Very High Developed Countries-I (0.80≤ HDI < 0.900) was exports; and for Very High DevelopedCountries-II ( HDI ≥ 0.90) was import value. To improve thehuman development of the countries and maintain thefood security around the world, the following points couldbe suggested: i) to increase the aquaculture productionboth in inland and marine environments where possible,ii) for low and medium developed countries, instead of rawmaterial exporting, to support increasing the productioncapacity of processed fisheries products that have higherglobal market prices.
