Fishery resources
The Fishery Department of the FAO of the UN is currently involved in the compilation of maps of distribution for fishery resources at global scale.
Using a GIS approach, maps of distribution of a large number of aquatic species are accurately reproduced and disseminated. Geographic terms and habitat descriptions were extracted from the FAO Catalogues of Species and combined with global databases from authoritative sources.
