The table compares the amount spent on fish transportation to the U.S. from 1988 to 2000, while the pie chart illustrates the proportion of fish that America bought from China, Canada, and others in 12 years. Units are measured in billions of dollars in the table and in percentages in the pie chart.
Overall, it is clear that fish importation significantly increased in 12 years, whereas America’s sources clearly changed at the same time.
As is represented in the table, the total value approximately doubled from 6.57 billion dollars in 1988 to 10.72 billion in 2000. Moreover, Canadian importation gradually dropped from 60% in 1988 to 34% in 1992 and 28% in 2000, while Chinese importation slightly grew from 13% in 1988 to 20% in 1992 and 30% in 2000.
Furthermore, as the pie chart represents, the proportion of importation from other countries was stable between 1992 and 2000.
