# Which fish species are globally recognized by the FAO?

## Direct link to the 2025 list of all fish species, setup by the FAO.

The Statistics Team (NFISS) of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division collates global capture and aquaculture production statistics by species, where available, or alternatively at genus, family or higher taxonomic levels.

The ASFIS (Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System) list for fishery statistics represents the standard taxonomic reference system for this collection. The Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) adopted the first version of the ASFIS list in 1987. Currently, the ASFIS list includes 13 708 records, of which 3 901 are statistical categories used in FAO statistics (according to the data released in March 2025).
