Abstract The main purpose of this map collection is to illustrate, in general, where aquaculture is taking place. Characteristics that accompany the administrative units or individual farms include; cultured species, technology used, culture systems, environments, farm characteristics, production, quantities and values, seed input quantity and characteristics, and main issues (credit, diseases, environmental impact, etc.). The collection also includes statistics on aquaculture production for 2009 and plans are underway to include statistics related to land and water use in aquaculture during 2012.

Technical notes Maps are available at national level and at administrative level and/or when available, at an individual farm level. The National production page includes a map on aquaculture production of aquatic animals for human consumption (tonnes) in 2009. Select one country from the map by clicking on that country or select from the drop-down lists to display the production statistics by country. The Browse map page provides an up-to-date overview of the NASO maps currently available at administrative level and individual farm level. Simply click on one of the markers shown in the world map to display the corresponding map for the country being selected. A Search by Country page gives the user the option of selecting the country by its name to display data at an administrative level or individual farm level. An Advanced Search gives the user the option to select a country and then select some of the characteristics that accompany the administrative units or individual farms locations (e.g. cultured species, technology used, culture systems, etc). Additional help ( show | hide ) The maps can be viewed in three modes: Map (streets); Satellite (a mosaic of images obtained by remote sensing) and Terrain (satellite images). User can zoom and pan to any given location. The icons representing the different Organism Divisions (fish, molluscs, crustaceans, seaweeds, other) at administrative level are located at the centre of the administrative unit, therefore they do not represent the position of the farm. Whereas, the icons representing the different Organism Divisions at an individual farm level are placed exactly were the individual farm is located. Additional tools include: View in a larger map (displays the map in Google maps); View in Google Earth (automatically displays the map in Google Earth if Google Earth has been installed, for installation see http://earth.google.com/); and RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") allows Web users manage the NASO information being provided.
