National eel distribution volumes
The upper map is based on FAO statistics, while the lower map is based on figures reported by the East Asian “Informal Consultation” statistics. The two datasets differ greatly in reported aquaculture production from China, resulting in different country rankings for distribution volumes. Note that the colours representing distribution volumes vary between the two maps. Grey indicates countries/regions with no available data. Regardless of the data source, East Asia accounts for the majority of global eel distribution.
