Exports to the United States : Danish fish- 

 ery exports to the United States in the first 

 quarter of 1966 were up 16 percent in quan- 

 tity and 25 percent in value from the same 

 period of 1965. The gain was due to larger 

 shipments of frozen cod fillets and blocks 

 which make up the bulk of Danish fishery 

 shipments to the United States. There was a 

 decline in shipments of pond trout and canned 

 herring. (U. S. Embassy, Copenhagen, May 

 18, 1966.)

 Embassy, Quito, June 1, 1966.) Shrimp ex- 

 ports during 1962-65 and January- April 1966
