WORLD IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF SEVEN FISHERY COMMODITY GROUPS, 

 BY LEADING COUNTRIES, 1988-91 



(1) Revised. 



Note:--Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 176 countries or areas. The 

 total value of exports is consistently less than the total 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 and 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.
