 Geographic classification systems A geographic classification system can be defined as a way of grouping and organizing geographic references (reference points, lines or areas) to be used as reference data for geo-referencing statistical datasets. To facilitate its use, a geographic classification... More
  Irregular area classification systems: Systems where the elements correspond to irregular areas. e.g. Countries or areas FAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes Exclusive Economic Zones Regional Fishery Bodies Competence areas Reporting areas, Fishing zones. ... More
  Grid classification systems: System defined by a regular geo-referenced grid characterized by a maximum geographic extent or scale (global, regional, local) a grid unit/cell shape (e.g. square, rectangle) a grid resolution (e.g. 1 x 1degree, 5 x 5... More
 Linear classification systems: System defined by elements characterized by a linear shape, e.g. haul trajectory. More
 Geographic coding systems Geographic coding systems are recommended to facilitate the use of geographic classification systems and the geo-referencing of fisheries statistics. A geographic coding system consists in identifying each element of the classification with a unique, permanent and meaningful code... More
  Areal grid coding system - Recognizing the need for areal breakdown, the CWP has recommended the use of a global coding system (refer areal grid system) More
  Other grid coding systems - For the purpose of fisheries data reporting where square-based grids are used, other alternative grid coding systems can be used, as long as they are compatible with the above CWP areal grid coding system... More
 As part of the ASFIS Reference Series, FAO established in 2000 the "ASFIS List of Species for Fishery Statistical Purposes". An updated version of the ASFIS List is released each year at about March-April after the annual closure of the... More
 CWP follows internationally-agreed statistical concepts, standards, classifications and practices and develops this general approach with methodologies and guidelines that are specific to capture fishery and aquaculture statistics. The Handbook is the documentation of this work. Many of the CWP-defined concepts,... More
