Catalogue description: [Monthly landings of marine fish by state and coast from 2018 to 2023.](https://data.gov.my/data-catalogue/fish_landings).

## Coverage

The dataset covers Malaysia (national, coast, and 14 state-level areas) from 2018-01-01 through 2023-12-01.

## Schema

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `date` | date | The date in YYYY-MM-DD format, with DD set to 01 as the data is at monthly frequency |
| `coast` | string | The coast where the fish was landed; either all coasts ('all'), the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia ('east'), west coast of Peninsular Malaysia ('west') or Borneo ('borneo') |
| `state` | string | The state where the fish was landed; one of 14 states (excludiing W.P. Kuala Lumpur and W.P. Putrajaya, which do not have coastlines) or Malaysia (included for ease of analysis). It should be noted that Johor is a part of both the east and west coast data. |
| `landings` | integer | The total landings of marine fish in metric tonnes |

## Known quirks

- Monthly dates use the first day of the month.
- All-coast and Malaysia aggregate rows coexist with detailed rows and must not be summed together.
- Values are metric tonnes landed by registered establishments, not fish caught or personal-consumption fishing.
- Johor appears in both east- and west-coast data; national totals may differ slightly because of rounding.
