This indicator provides information on the volume of total aquaculture production, which includes aquaculture in fresh water and seawater.
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms including fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants. Farming implies some form of intervention in the process to enhance production - among others, food and protection against predators - and individual or collective ownership of the exploited stock. The volume of total aquaculture production covers freshwater aquaculture and marine aquaculture. The data is measured in tonnes and retrieved from FAO.
