description: The FAO Statistics Team (NFISS) of Fisheries and Aquaculture Division
  collates world capture and aquaculture production statistics at either the species,
  genus, family, or higher taxonomic levels in 3,169 statistical categories (2022
  data release) referred to as species items. ASFIS list of species includes 13,417
  species items selected according to their interest or relation to fisheries and
  aquaculture. For each species item stored in a record, codes (ISSCAAP group, taxonomic
  and 3-alpha) and taxonomic information (scientific name, author(s), family, and
  higher taxonomic classification) are provided. An English name is available for
  most of the records, and about one third of them have also a French and Spanish
  name. Information is also provided about the availability of fishery production
  statistics on the species item in the FAO databases. (from homepage)
