The table summarizes the statistics related to the fish imports in UK between 1990 and 2000, while the pie chart presents the distribution of fish imports across diverse sources during the same period.

Overall, the domestic demand of imported fish experienced a steady ascent over a decade, while a more noticeable change could be observed in exported countries.

Looking at the information in more details, the total imported amount of fish followed a continuous rising trend, commencing at 6.5 billion in 1990 to 10.5 billion in 2000. In contrast, the shares of different exported countries underwent a significant fluctuation during this period. The exported fish amount of Canada, in particular, took a lion’s share in 1990, which almost matched that of other nations except for Japan. However, this figure saw a consistent decline, dropping drastically to half of its initial proportion in 2000. The remainder was split between Japan and other countries, with the supplies of former far exceeding that of the latter.
