Abstract
The FAO Fishery and Aquaculture Country Profiles provide a comprehensive overview of the fisheries and aquaculture sector for each country (or areas/territories recognized by the Organization and with important fishery sector).
Prepared by the FAO Fisheries Division, the information presented in a Fact Sheet integrates a number of country-related sources, including: data compiled, analyzed and regularly-updated by FAO such as Fishery statistics, Country briefs (Part 1), a general summary specifically prepared from national sources (Part 2 - the "narrative"), and additional maps and fishery knowledge systems (Part 3)".
Economic and demographic data are based on UN or World Bank sources; data on fisheries and aquaculture are generally those published by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department.
