The pei charts and the table show the primary sources and the total amount of fish that transported into United States in the year 1988 to 2000.

The table and pie charts above illustrate money spent on imported

fish

and the

fish

proportion purchased from China, Canada and other countries, sent to the United States from 1988 to 2000, divided into three parts. It's clear that the total money spent increases from time to time.

In addition

, the purchasing percentage from each country differs, depending on the year. The total money allocated for imported

fish

is at the highest in 2000 close to $10.72 billion, whilst in 1998 only $6.57 billion was used and in between, $8.52 billion was washed out in 1992.

Overall

, demand for imported

fish

is always rising and the trend has never decreased. Over a decade, the product sent from China to the United States has never reached above 30%. In 1998, nearly 13%, slowly climbing up in 1992 by 20% and 30% in 2000. It proves consistency in increasing products imported from China.

On the contrary

, the government got fewer products from Canada

at the end

of 2000. In 1988, almost the majority were bought from Canada 60% in 1988.

However

, purchasing was gradually down in 1992 by almost 34% and in 2000 just 28%. Other than that, the government

also

bought from other unknown countries. We can say that it's an unstable number because in 1988 it showed 27%, whilst in 1992 and 2000 were all close to 45%.
