I couldn't find how much exactly the coastal aquaculture production of the world.
The FAO tool only provide the inland and marine, without differentiation between which is coastal and which is not.
Appreciate.
Hello,
I have the FAO yearbook 2014 (this is the latest one published in 2016). It may provide helpful info there. Best Wishes, Panya
Hi! have a look at The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2016. It may be useful.

The suggestion given to you until now are good references. However, I see your problem. I think is going to be difficult to find a specific number for coastal aquaculture production... Most of the marine aquaculture is still coastal, but there is an increasing development of open water aquaculture. You may want to turn around the question and see if there are any numbers about open ocean/deep water aquaculture and then by difference on the total marine aquaculture, what is left would be coastal. I hope it helps.

Dr. Buddolla- that is a highly valuable review, it includes details that help me a lot. Thank you
Dear Dr. Sae-Lim and Dr. Madalla,
Thank you for your interest in help. I have this already, however it couldn't answer my question about the coastal aquaculture definitely. Thanks again.
Hi Dr. Daria,
I think you got my question. After browsing around, i think we have a great void in defining the coastal aquaculture alone until now.
Totally agree with you!! by this way of turning around i can find an estimated number, however in some countries there are some coastal fresh or brackish water aquaculture, i don't have idea if it will affect that estimation or no.
Please let me know if you have any idea?
Regards,
Mahmoud
Hi Mahmoud,
I believe that brackish water culture it is included in the marine one, in particular I am sure of that for bivalve aquaculture.
I am not sure what you refer to when you talk about coastal freshwater. Would you be able to give me an example? I tend to think of coastal aquaculture as brackish and salt water only, but I may not be aware of some particular practice of other countries, as you said.
Thank you,
Daria
Dr. Daria-
This is correct, i found that brackish water is included in the marine aquaculture production. But as far as i know that FAO data is a collection of regional data and that depend on how the regional organization consider their aquaculture environment.
for example: in my country (Egypt) they still recognize about 70% of aquaculture as fresh water, however in reality it is not fresh after saltiness processes of the coastal lakes which are the main source for aquaculture facilities there.
