Fisheries statistics sources – metadata
Excel sheet of Available Statistics is here.
I re-decided that its easiest to keep this as a spreadsheet. I already have started this in the Excel sheet attached. The Excel sheet has more extensive data on each source. The table below is just to show what’s available. URLs etc are in the Excel sheet.
