Abstract

[Extract] Seafood plays an important role in human nutrition and health. The growing international trade in seafood species and products has added to the popularity and frequency of consumption of a variety of seafood products across many countries.

The highest consumption of seafood in Europe appears to be found in Iceland, where the gross per capita consumption of crustacean and fish was about 91 kg live weight, followed by Portugal (59 kg), Norway (47 kg), Spain (43 kg), France (27 kg), United Kingdom (19 kg), Germany (13 kg) as compared to the United States (8 kg) (Administration NOaA 2007), and Australia (11 kg) (Canberra 2006). Importantly the imports of seafood from other countries often surpass their own productions. In the United States remains the third largest global consumer of fish and shellfish, behind Japan and China (Administration NOaA 2007).
