Fishery Statistics of Southeast Asia
LIST OF AQUATIC ANIMALS AND PLANTS
For the statistics on production of capture fishery and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian region, broken down into
species, the International Standard Statistical Classification of Aquatic Animals and Plants (ISSCAAP) developed by
Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) will be used as basis to develop the Regional Standard Statistic
List of Aquatic Species, which focused on the species available and distributed in the region.
For capture production, since some aquatic animals particularly diadromous species may be caught in both marine
and inland waters, the statistics will be reported in two parts of capture fisheries. Regarding aquaculture production
since some aquatic species can be cultured in more than one culture environment, production can then be reported
based on where the species are cultured.
The ISSCAAP applied for the region is as follows:
