Pacific Northwest and Alaska Exports of Edible Fishery Products, 1989

摘要

Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and Alaska) exports of edible fishery products in 1989 increased 28% in quantity over 1988 to just over one billion pounds (lb) or 461,164 metric tons (t), while the value of these fishery exports increased by only 3.6% to $1.76 billion. A substantial rise in exports of finfish products contributed to the increase and offset the decline in salmon exports. Pacific salmon products accounted for $877 million or just under 50% of the total value of Pacific Northwest exports, down from $967 million or 57% in 1988. Increased trade with Japan, Canada, and the Republic of Korea accounted for most of the gain. Exports to Japan totaled $1.43 billion or 81% of the total, slightly up in value from $1.4 billion and down slightly from 82% in 1988.
