The provided table and pie charts illustrate the total value of fish imports into the UK and the corresponding sources of these imports over the decade from 1990 to 2000.
Overall, the total value of fish imports experienced a steady increase throughout the period. While “other countries” remained the predominant source of imports, the market share attributed to Canada and Japan showed noticeable shifts.
In terms of total value, the figure stood at £6.5 billion in 1990, rising to £7.05 billion by 1995. This upward trend accelerated by 2000, when the total value reached £10.5 billion.
Regarding the sources of these imports, the market share for Canada fluctuated over the decade. In 1990, Canada accounted for a significant portion, but this proportion saw a marginal decline by 1995. By 2000, however, the reliance on Canadian imports appeared to recover. In contrast, an inverse relationship was observed in some years regarding Japan’s contribution. Japan’s share of the import market remained relatively stable before it plateaued and then adjusted in the final years of the period. Finally, the portion of imports sourced from “other countries” remained the largest sector throughout the ten years, consistently dominating the market share.
