This reference work presents six years (1981—86) of import data on fishery and marine-related commodities. For each commodity, annual statistics are listed for the quantity imported; the free-alongside-ship (f.a.s.) value; the cost insurance and freight (c.i.f.) value; and the import charges. Dates are aggre­gated by the country of origin, region of unloading, and method of transporta­tion. Overall annual summaries are also included. Import statistics were obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bu­reau of the Census, which collects data based on commodity descriptions in Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (TSUSA), an official publica­tion of the U.S. International Trade Commission. When the TSUSA de­scription provides sufficient informa­tion to identify the specific fish or shellfish, data are grouped by type of fish or shellfish along with the related commodity data. Thirty-one types of fish and eleven shellfish are included. A separate section is included for fishery and marine-related commodities not specific to a particular species. The book includes three indexes: (1) an al­phabetical listing of fish used in the import statistics together with related products; (2) an alphabetical listing of commodities by country of origin; and (3) a listing of the TSUSA commodity descriptions together with the fish or end-use category under which data for that commodity are categorized.
