Total reconstructed fisheries catches for the Turks and Caicos Islands between 1950-and-2018

The dataset comprises total reconstructed fisheries catches for the Turks and Caicos Exclusive Economic Zone. The data combine official reported data and reconstructed estimates of unreported data (including major discards). Official reported data are mainly extracted from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) FishStat database. The data covers the period between 1950-and-2018. This is a non-geographical dataset which contains the summary information for the entire Turks and Caicos EEZ.
