| | | Dimension: | Fishery production | | Type: | Quantity | | Unit: | Tonnes; | | Description: | Weight is measured in tonnes (generally in tonnes of live weight equivalent for aquatic animals, in wet weight for aquatic plants). Acquatic mammals, alligators and crocodiles are measured by number of animals |
| Key: | Country or Area | | Type: | Geographic | | More info: | The term also covers territories, cities, land areas, as well as provinces, districts, enclaves, exclaves and other parts of territories or combinations of countries or areas | | Code system: | FAO multilingual code of not more than twelve characters used for statistical purposes | | Code system: | Country or area names in English, French or Spanish | | Code system: | ISO 3-alpha code | | Code system: | ISO 2-alpha code | | Code system: | FAO three-digit numerical code | | Aggregation: | Continents | | Aggregation: | Continents and regions (each continent is divided into regions) | | Aggregation: | Economic class (developed countries; developing countries) | | Aggregation: | Economic groups (developing countries; transition markets; industrialized countries) |
| Key: | Major inland and marine fishing areas | | Type: | Geographic | | Code system: | FAO name in English, French or Spanish | | Code system: | FAO two digit code | | Aggregation: | The twenty-six major fishing areas internationally established for fishery statistical purposes, consist of: | | Aggregation: | Seven major inland fishing areas, covering the inland waters of continents, | | Aggregation: | Nineteen major marine fishing areas grouped by- Oceans (Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans) with their adjacent seas; and
- Oceans/suboceans (suboceans are climatic belts within oceans).
| | Aggregation: | Two additional areas (i.e.) "Fishing area 98: Antarctic, pelagic" and "Fishing area 99: Outside the Antarctic" are used only for marine mammals data. |
