World fisheries and aquaculture atlas (5th ed)

Fisheries and aquaculture, and their related industries, play an essential role in the livelihoods of millions around the world - about 520 million people depend on the sector.

Vital to the poorest, fisheries and aquaculture contribute significantly to world food security and account for over 85.9 billion US dollars in international trade.

Based on the broad board of expertise of the FAO Fisheries Department, the "World Fisheries and Aquaculture Atlas CD-ROM" presents a comprehensive and global view of marine and inland capture fisheries and aquaculture.

This edition features a glossary, fact sheets, geographic profiles, illustrations, graphs and maps.
