Synopsis (short abstract) The eleventh Session of the Coordinating Working Party on Atlantic Fishery Statistics (CWP), conscious of the fact that source and reference documents related to the concepts and definitions used in fishery statistics are widely dispersed and not always readily available, proposed in 1982 that a “Handbook of Fishery Statistics” should be brought together. The content of the present publication, renamed “CWP Handbook of Fishery Statistical Standards”, is largely based on the 1990 edition but in a ddition to extensive revisions concerning CWP memberships, and relevant modifications to commissions’ statistical work, has been expanded to cover descriptions of the existing major fishing areas in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Antarctic Oceans, and presents also eight new Sections on fishery related subjects. The CWP Handbook now covers all the intended range of fishery statistical concepts, definitions and classifications.

    The FAO yearbook of fishery statistics – Captures production is a compilation of statistics on nominal catches of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic animals, residues and plants. Beginning with Volume 82, the normal catch statistics include only the production from capture fisheries with the exclusion of aquaculture production. Former volumes of the yearbook contain, catches and aquaculture statistics combined. The statistics are presented by country or territory, species, major fishi ng areas and year, and for various aggregations. In order to provide complete coverage of catch statistics through the world, where officially reported national statistics are lacking or are considered unreliable FAO makes estimates based on the best information available.
