FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics (FIES)
Heavily relying on national reporting: Compilation: Focal points -- usually, Ministry responsible for fisheries, sometimes Ministry of Agriculture, Natural resources, Statistics Supplemental sources: Regional Fishery Bodies, Industry organizations Annual reporting (end of August) and final compilation and dissemination in March to May Intensive follow-ups (three rounds of reminders, push through Regional Bodies, FAO Regional and Sub-regional offices, personal connections, etc) including clarification with focal points African Commission on Agricultural Statistics

Data storage > indicators : Shared access to detailed data in comparable way (enhanced integration – one-stop shop) Flexibility and transparency in further analysis and indicators Data requirement for management, control and surveillance Data requirement from consumers (food safety, green products etc) Delivery responsibility to communities Strength Capture production in shared waters (marine, large lakes) Weakness Capture production of inland waters in general Social and economic aspects of fishery and aquaculture activities Environmental impacts of aquaculture African Commission on Agricultural Statistics

Coordinating Working Party of Fishery Statistics
FAO Statutory Body under Article VI Established in 1959 and modified to become global coordination mechanism in 1995 TORs: keep continuous review the requirements for fishery statistics (including aquaculture) for the purposes of research, policy-making and management agree standard concepts, definitions, classifications and methodologies make proposals and recommendations for action to coordinate activities so as to avoid duplication Members: International and Regional organizations who have relevance in fishery and aquaculture statistics CCAMLR, CCSBT, FAO, GFCM, IOTC, IATTC, ICCAT, ICES, IWC, NACA, NASCO, NEAFC, NAFO, OECD, SPC, SEAFDEC, SEAFO, Eurostat, WCPFC New: Aquaculture Group and Capture Fishery Group New: Revising and updating Handbooks African Commission on Agricultural Statistics

Capacity building African Commission on Agricultural Statistics
Strategy for Improving Information on Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries (Strategy-STF) Strategy for Improving Information on Status and Trends of Aquaculture (Strategy-STA) Two sub-Regional Workshop: West Central Gulf of Guinea Region in collaboration with the newly established Fisheries Committee West Central Gulf of Guinea (Accra, Ghana from 26 to 28 June 2007) The Gulf of Guinea in collaboration with the Fisheries Committee for the Gulf of Guinea (Douala, Cameroon April, 2008). Follow-up national activities: Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, training in Tanzania and Kenya Other support: Ad hoc working group on fisheries statistics for the Fisheries Committee West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC) The second meeting of the Working Party on Fisheries Statistics (WPFS) of the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission (SWIOFC) during April 2008 in Mombassa, Kenya.

Topic: World Custom Organization HS
Objectives of proposal for fishery: Improved monitoring consumption and utilization of fish and fishery products. Improved monitoring capacity of capture and aquaculture production Inputs to socio-economic analysis. Major points of proposed modifications: Separation of capture and aquaculture origins for salmons and shrimps Inclusion of fish used as seeds for culture, e.g. fry and eggs Addition of several small pelagics, e.g. jack and horse mackerel, anchovies Addition of new important fresh water species, e.g. Tilapias, Nile perch, catfish, carps Addition of vulnerable components, e.g. shark fins, toothfish African Commission on Agricultural Statistics
