Top 10 species groups in global, regional and national aquaculture 2017

Supplementary materials to the WAPI factsheet on “Top 10 species groups in global aquaculture 2017”June 2019

Preparation of this factsheet

2

• The factsheet presents tables on top 10 species groups and charts on top 10 ASFIS speciesitems in global, regional and national aquaculture.

• Data used in the tables and charts are from the FAO Global Fishery and Aquaculture ProductionStatistics 1950–2017 (v2019.1.0) published through FishStatJ (March 2019;www.fao.org/fishery/statistics/software/fishstatj/en).

• The tables and charts are generated by the FAO WAPI Aquaculture Production Module (WAPI-AQPRN); see Table 1.6 and Figure 1.2 in WAPI-AQPRN v.2018.1 for examples(www.fao.org/fishery/statistics/software/wapi/en).

• While the factsheet presents top 10 species patterns in 2017, WAPI-AQPRN allows similaranalyses in any year and for any country or area when data are available. A previous version ofthe module (i.e. WAPI-AQPRN v.2018.1) is available for test use – see more information on theWAPI webpage (www.fao.org/fishery/statistics/software/wapi/en).

• The quality of the information presented in the factsheet is affected by the accuracy of theunderlying data and statistics. Please inform us if you have any concern.

WAPI species grouping

WAPI species grouping: methodology

6

• WAPI species grouping is based on ISSCAAP groups under the International Standard Statistical Classification of Aquatic Animals and Plants (ISSCAAP).

• ISSCAAP groups with a clear taxonomic scope (e.g. “Tilapias and other cichlids”, “Salmons, trouts, smelts”, etc.) are directly used as WAPI species groups.

• Two WAPI groups are ISSCAAP groups with name changes (see items highlighted in red in the table on the right).

• Some WAPI groups are subgroups of “miscellaneous” ISSCAAP groups (see items highlighted in blue in the table on the right). Such sub-groups may have different taxonomic classification:

• Order; e.g. “Catfishes (Siluriformes)”

• Suborder; e.g. “Surgeonfishes and relatives (Acanthuroidei)”

• Infraorder; e.g. “Freshwater crabs (Brachyura)”

• Superfamily; e.g. “Marine perch-like fishes (Percoidea, marine)”

• Family; e.g. “Jacks and pompanos (Carangidae)”

• Genus (potentially; no such cases yet in the current WAPI grouping)

• ASFIS species item, including:

• ASFIS species item that represents a miscellaneous species group (e.g. “Freshwater fishes nei).

• ASFIS species item unable to group with other species items into a suitable taxonomic group (e.g. “Cobia, Rachycentron canadum”)

• WAPI species groups used in the ranking exercise are presented in the next three slides; the grouping is subject to annual revision based on updated FAO global aquaculture production statistics.
