Introduction

FAO Fishtatj is software used by the Food and Agriculture Organization to handle their fisheries and aquaculture data. Data from Fishtatj is separated into four different workspaces, which must each be downloaded separately: Global Fishery and Aquaculture Production Statistics and Global Aquatic Trade Statistics. Once downloaded, the data in each of these workspaces may be manipulated and converted to an excel file using the Fishtatj software. FAO Fishtatj and workspaces can be downloaded here. The following series are IFs data collected using Fishstatj:

Data Collection

After downloading Fishtatj and the Global Commodity and Global Fishery and Aquaculture Production Statistics workspaces, open the program and load the Global Fishery and Aquaculture Production Statistics dataset. Within this workspace, there are three tabs: Global Capture Production, Global Aquaculture Production, and Global Production by Production Source. Data can be further manipulated using the level of aggregation tool (blue arrow) and the filter tool - the first option under the data tab (green arrow).

Global Capture Production (Quantity) tab of the Global Fishery and Aquaculture Production Statistics dataset

AgFishCatchProdAqAnimalsFSJ through AgFishCatchProdPelagicFSJ (see list in Introduction):

Using the aggregation tool, set the country dimension to detailed, the species to grouped, and the fishing area to aggregated. For the species division, choose "FAOSTAT group of commodities." Using the filter tool under the data tab, make sure that ALL species, countries and fishing areas have been included. All rows must be selected (ctrl/cmd + a). Data can then be saved as a .csv file by using the second option under the edit tab. This file can then be saved as a more updated excel file (.xls or .xlsx) once it is opened. The species correspond to the different data series as follows:

AgFishCatchProdAqAnimalsFSJ Aquatic Animals NEI
AgFishCatchProdAqMammalsFSJ Aquatic Mammals
AgFishCatchProdAqPlantsFSJ Aquatic Plants
AgFishCatchProdCephalopodsFSJ Cephalopods
AgFishCatchProdCrustaceansFSJ Crustaceans
AgFishCatchProdDemersalFSJ Demersal Marine Fish
AgFishCatchProdFreshwaterFSJ Freshwater and Diadromous Fish
AgFishCatchProdMarineFSJ Marine Fish NEI
AgFishCatchProdMolluscsFSJ Molluscs excl. Cephalopods
AgFishCatchProdPelagicFSJ Pelagic Marine Fish

AgFishProdCatchInland and AgFishProdCatchMarine:

Using the aggregation tool, set the country dimension to detailed, the species to aggregated, and the fishing area to grouped. For the fishing area division, choose "Inland/Marine areas". Using the filter tool under the data tab, make sure that ALL species, countries and fishing areas have been included. All rows must be selected (ctrl/cmd + a). Data can then be saved as a .csv file by using the second option under the edit tab. This file can then be saved as a more updated excel file (.xls or .xlsx) once it is opened. The marine areas data correspond to AgFishProdCatchMarine and the inland waters data correspond to AgFishProdCatchInland.

Global Aquaculture Production (Quantity) tab of the Global Fishery and Aquaculture Production Statistics dataset

AgFishAquaProdAqAnimalsFSJ through AgFishAquaProdPelagicFSJ (see list in Introduction):

Using the aggregation tool, set the country dimension to detailed, the species to grouped, and the aquaculture area and environment both to aggregated. For the species division, choose "FAOSTAT group of commodities". Using the filter tool under the data tab, make sure that ALL species, countries, aquaculture areas, and environments have been included. All rows must be selected (ctrl/cmd + a). Data can then be saved as a .csv file by using the second option under the edit tab. This file can then be saved as a more updated excel file (.xls or .xlsx) once it is opened. The species correspond to the different data series as follows:

AgFishAquaProdAqAnimalsFSJ Aquatic Animals NEI
AgFishAquaProdAqPlantsFSJ Aquatic Plants
AgFishAquaProdCephalopodsFSJ Cephalopods
AgFishAquaProdCrustaceansFSJ Crustaceans
AgFishAquaProdDemersalFSJ Demersal Marine Fish
AgFishAquaProdFreshwaterFSJ Freshwater and Diadromous Fish
AgFishAquaProdMarineFSJ Marine Fish NEI
AgFishAquaProdMolluscsFSJ Molluscs excl. Cephalopods
AgFishAquaProdPelagicFSJ Pelagic Marine Fish

AgFishProdAquaInland and AgFishProdAquaMarine:

Under the aggregation tool, set the country dimension to detailed, the species and enviroment both to aggregated, and the aquaculture area to grouped. For the aquaculture division, choose "Inland/Marine areas". Using the filter tool under the data tab, make sure that ALL species, countries, aquaculture areas, and evironments have been included. All rows must be selected (ctrl/cmd + a). Data can then be saved as a .csv file by using the second option under the edit tab. This file can then be saved as a more updated excel file (.xls or .xlsx) once it is opened. The marine areas data correspond to AgFishProdAquaMarine and the inland waters data correspond to AgFishProdAquaInland.

Global Aquatic Trade Statistics Workspace

Close the workspace. Then open the Global Aquatic Trade Statistics Workspace.

Global Aquatic Trade Statistics - All partners aggregated

Value (1976 - 2021)

The four series found in this workspace are AgFishExportVal, AgFishImportVal, AgFishExportValue%GDPFAOTrade and AgFishImportValue%GDPFAOTrade. Using the aggregation tool, set the country dimension to detailed, the commodity to aggregated, and the trade flow to detailed. All rows must be selected (ctrl/cmd + a). Data can then be saved as a .csv file by using the second option under the edit tab. This file can then be saved as a more updated excel file (.xls or .xlsx) once it is opened. For AgFishExportValue%GDPFAOTrade and AgFishImportValue%GDPFAOTrade, downloaded value divided by GDP at current $ from WDI.

Quantity (1976- 2021)

The two series found in this workspace are AgFishExportQuantityFAOTrade and AgFishImportQuantityFAOTrade. Using the aggregation tool, set the country dimension to detailed, the commodity to aggregated, and the trade flow to detailed. All rows must be selected (ctrl/cmd + a). Data can then be saved as a .csv file by using the second option under the edit tab. This file can then be saved as a more updated excel file (.xls or .xlsx) once it is opened.
