| 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.
