PER CAPITA 



U.S. USE 



127 



Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based on the supply of fishery products, 

 both edible and nonedible (industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without considering 

 beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports. 



Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data. Per capita 

 consumption figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round 

 weight consumption. In addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and 

 ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does not include such allowances. 



Per capita use is derived by using total population including U.S. Armed Forces overseas. 

 The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.
