FAO Species Identification and Data Programme (SIDP)

	A series of regional publications addressed primarily to field workers in all sectors of fisheries. Each regional set of identification sheets is designed as a comprehensive, coded, annotated, and illustrated inventory of the species of interest in the region covered. These documents are based on contributions of a large group of taxonomists and fishery workers.

Field Guides

	Guides to commercial species entering fish landings of individual countries or groups of countries.They are aimed particularly at national data collectors in need of quick identification of species in markets and landing places for the specific purpose of improving statistical and other fisheries data by species. These field guides are based on illustrations, with a minimum of text, including nomenclature (scientific, FAO, national and local names), information on size, habitat, and fishing gear. They are intended as summaries, to complement, at national level, the species identification sheets for the region concerned.

	Worldwide, annotated, and illustrated inventories of species for each of the world's major commercial groups of fishery resources. Comprehensive reviews of present knowledge on species and stocks of aquatic organisms of present or potential economic interest as well as conservation aspects. These publications include general information on the group and information by species including scientific nomenclature, international and local names, diagnostic features, geographical distribution, biology, fisheries and relevant literature.
