Germany's domestic catches are decling. 212,000 tons were produced in 1992
and only 143,000 tons were produced in 1994. This has resulted in a larger
market for imported products. Domestically imported Alaska pollock appears
to be closing in on herring as the Germans favorite fish. In 1994, Germans
ate nearly 7.2 pounds of Alaska pollock per capita, which amouted to almost
23% of their per capita seafood consumption. This represents a 35% increase
over the year before. |
