http://www.fao.org/figis/servlet/static?dom=root&xml=index.xml

FIGIS was conceived in the context of great stress on most major fishery resources and a worldwide concern about the state of the resources and some of their non-sustainable uses. For yet under-utilised stocks, the risk of over-utilization is amplified by globalisation of trade in fish and fishery products. FIGIS was established to address the need for reliable, high-quality and relevant information on the state of world fisheries.
