Per Capita Consumption 



U.S. Use 



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, widiout considenng the 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 aOowances for beginning and ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does 

 not include such allowances. 



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

 consumption is derived bv using civilian resident population.
