Also participating in this edition are Argentina, the People's Republic of China, Colombia, Indonesia, Lithuania, Chinese Taipei, and Thailand.

Chapters 1, 2 and 3, known as the "General Survey", provide an overview of the activities in the sector and outline country summary statistics and key developments in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. The Country Snapshots in Chapter 4 provide additional country level data and details on institutions and policies based on contributions by participating countries and economies.
