                                                | 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. |
