    The latest FAO global aquaculture production statistics record 608 species items (under the ASFIS – Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System – list of aquatic species) that have been farmed in global aquaculture during 1950–2017. Among them, 424 species items were farmed in 2017, with concrete production statistics recorded in the FAO database (compared to 254 species items in 1990). This factsheet examines 2017 global aquaculture production of these 424 species items to identify the top 10 most farmed ASFIS species items (in terms of quantity or value); the top 10 most farmed species groups; and the top 10 species groups in world aquaculture, excluding China. More information about top 10 aquaculture species (groups) at the regional level and national level (for major aquaculture producers) can be found in the supplementary materials to this factsheet.
