As a one-liner, would it be accurate to say that the (vast) majority of individual animals (directly) used/exploited by humans per year probably become shrimp paste?
I’m guessing we aren’t “using” nematodes, worms or arthropods not included above in larger numbers, at least not directly. Obviously they’re affected by and involved in agriculture, and may be affected by fishing.
And I guess it’s also useful to distinguish time spent exploited/used, because an individual wild-caught animal won’t be under direct human control nearly as long as the average farmed animal. Farmed insects would plausibly already dominate if you weigh by time under direct human control while alive, and insect farming is growing quickly.
