Estimated numbers (millions)
The estimated fish number range for the average annual Capture (T) for this FAO species category (Species). This is obtained by dividing Capture (T) by Estimated mean weight (EMW) (g).
Note that the estimate of numbers of fish caught for any given species by country (unlike the global estimate) does not include estimated numbers for fish species without an estimated mean weight.
