Aquatic Resource Trade in Species (ARTIS) Database v1.2 FAO 1996-2020

Food systems have become increasingly globalized, with over a quarter of all food now traded internationally.
Seafood is among the most highly traded foods and it is becoming increasingly globalized, with trade doubling in recent decades.
At the same time, seafood is now widely recognized as a critical source of nutrition.
Thus, social and environmental threats to local seafood production, including environmental extremes, price impacts of market integration, networked risks, and increased availability of processed foods, must be evaluated in the context of global trade.
However, our collective understanding of the environmental and human outcomes of food system globalization is limited by a fundamental gap between production and trade data.
We bridge this gap in the Aquatic Resource Trade in Species (ARTIS) database by providing the first global estimates of aquatic species trade flows.
ARTIS includes bilateral trade flows disaggregated by taxa, production source, and geographic source in the "trade" files and estimated apparent consumption that uses the disaggregated trade data along with production to estimate apparent consumption by taxa, production source, and geographic source in the "consumption" files.
The ARTIS v1.2 FAO database covers global aquatic species trade from 1996 to 2020 across six Harmonized System (HS) versions, providing consumption and trade estimates for 2774 taxa across 194 countries, alongside six reference tables.

食品系统日益全球化，目前全球逾四分之一的食品参与国际贸易。海鲜是贸易体量最高的食品品类之一，其全球化程度不断加深，近数十年来贸易规模翻番。与此同时，海鲜如今已被广泛认定为至关重要的营养来源。因此，针对本地海鲜生产的各类社会与环境威胁——包括极端环境事件、市场整合引发的价格冲击、网络化风险以及加工食品可及性提升等——必须置于全球贸易框架下开展评估。然而，我们对食品系统全球化所带来的环境与人类影响的整体认知，受限于生产数据与贸易数据间存在的根本性割裂。我们在水产物种贸易（Aquatic Resource Trade in Species, ARTIS）数据库中填补了这一空白，首次提供了全球水生生物物种贸易流量的估算数据。ARTIS的「贸易」文件包含按分类群、生产来源与地理来源细分的双边贸易流量数据；其「消费」文件则利用经细分的贸易数据与生产数据，估算得到按分类群、生产来源及地理来源划分的表观消费量。ARTIS v1.2 FAO数据库涵盖了1996年至2020年间，基于6个版本的《商品名称及编码协调制度》（Harmonized System, HS）的全球水生物种贸易数据，可为194个国家的2774个分类群提供贸易与消费量估算，并附带6张参考数据表。
