Supplementary notes

According to the source, fish and seafood products include wild caught products from marine and freshwater sources, including oceans, rivers, lakes and ponds. Seafood also includes both animal and plant products, but does not include the total algae production for industrial purposes. The marine production volume includes capture from distant waters, amounting to around 2.25 million metric tons in 2021.

Figures for earlier years have been taken from the statistical database of the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
