The implication of converting reported production from meat to live weight for Chinese production between 1984 and 1996 is shown in Figure 1. During this period the total Chinese production (live weight) statistics of these shellfish increased from 347 000 tonnes to 4.70 million tonnes. Therefore previous reporting of these shellfish by FAO underestimated their production by 255 000 tonnes or 276% in 1984 and 3.16 million tonnes or by 205% in 1996. In view of the rapid increase in their production after 1990 (see Figure 1) the impact of these changes are only highlighted here for 1990 to 1996. The exponential increase between 1990 and 1996 is due to a combination of the rapid expansion rate in the culture of Japanese carpet shell and particularly the Pacific oyster (Figure 1). Between 1984 and 1996 these two species accounted for 71-85% of total shellfish production.
