This dataset contains statistics on a series of indicators characterizing the fisheries and aquaculture sectors and the fisheries policies of individual countries and economies. It covers OECD member countries as well as a selection of non-member economies with important fisheries and aquaculture sectors.
For any further questions please contact: tad.contact@oecd.org
The fisheries and aquaculture indicators are constructed from data collected annually or on a biennial basis by the OECD Committee for Fisheries (COFI). Data are collected through national authorities, notably those in charge of fisheries management, and complemented with data sourced from FAO and Eurostat.
January, 2023
The annual time unit normally used in fisheries statistics is the calendar or civil year, i.e. the period between 1 January and 31 December.
For exceptions, please see the country-level metadata.
The statistical population is the set of countries participating in the work of the OECD Committee for Fisheries (COFI), i.e. the OECD members plus some partners economies.
In order to facilitate analysis and comparisons over time, historical data for OECD members have been provided over as long a period as possible, often even before a country became a member of the Organisation.
Information on the membership dates of all OECD countries can be found at OECD Ratification Dates.
The fisheries and aquaculture indicators are disseminated on-line in the 'Fisheries and Aquaculture statistics' domain of OECD.Stat and in the biennial paper publication 'OECD Review of Fisheries'.
More information on fisheries policies and future challenges are available on the OECD dedicated webpage.
