WORLD IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF SEVEN FISHERY COMMODITY GROUPS, 

 BY LEADING COUNTRIES, 1999-2003 



Note:-- Data for 1999-2002 are revised. Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 176 

 countries or areas. The total value of exports is consistently less than the value of imports, probably 

 because charges for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value, but not 

 in the export value. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1. Fish, fresh, chilled 

 or frozen; 2 Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3 Crustaceans and mollusks, fresh, dried, salted, etc.; 

 4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk 

 products preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 6. Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic 

 animal origin; and 7 Meals, solubles, and similar animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.
