Title  FAO aquatic species distribution map of Acipenser medirostris
Date  2016-08-24
Date type  Revision: Date identifies when the resource was examined or re-examined and improved or amended
Edition  1.0
Edition date  2016-08-24
Code  fao-species-map-aam
Cited responsible party
Organisation name  FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department (FI)
Role  Owner: Party that owns the resource
Delivery point  Viale delle Terme di Caracalla
City  Rome
Postal code  00153
Country  Italy

Abstract  The main sources of information for the species distribution are the habitat description and geographic range contained in the published FAO Catalogues of Species (more details at http://www.fao.org/fishery/fishfinder ). Terms used in the descriptive context of the FAO Catalogues were converted in standard depth, geographic and ecological regions and inserted into a Geographic Information System.
Purpose  The distribution can help identifying areas of higher biodiversity or species associated with vulnerable marine habitats.

Supplemental Information  As fisheries are fundamentally spatially distributed, responsible management requires a solid understanding of the underlying spatial dimension of fishery resources. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide the technology for mapping the distribution of aquatic resources and to identify the spatial relationship with, their environment, the fishery management units, the production systems, etc. which can support decision-making. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department plays a unique role in providing such information which helps mapping global trends. All information organized and disseminated by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department includes a geographic dimension as an essential element for monitoring fisheries at global level and for supporting decision-making for FAO Members concerned with global fisheries governance.
