2002

The report presents the evolution of the production, trade and apparent consumption of seafood products in the United Kingdom over the last decade. It also described the methodology used and the different sources of data. The general downwards trend for production in the UK is due to a decline in the capture sector's production despite increases in aquaculture output. Although production has declined in volume terms it has increased in value terms. Imports have increased from 440,000 tonnes to 532,000 tonnes in the last decade. Exports have fluctuated in volume terms in the last decade. This means that the UK has a trade deficit in terms of aquatic food. Apparent consumption has varied over the last decade around 15 kg per caput. This could be attributable to changes in the level of supply and therefore price or other more immeasurable factors, e.g. lifestyle changes, health consciousness, food scares, etc.
