I can't give you a complete list of every single fish species the US imports and exports. That data is incredibly detailed and changes constantly.
However, I can give you some information about the general trends and types of fish traded:
Imports:
* Seafood is a major import for the US; we are a net importer.
* Top importing countries: China, Canada, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mexico.
* Popular imported fish: Salmon (especially farmed from Norway and Chile), Tuna, Shrimp, Cod, Pollock, Crab, Lobster.
Exports:
* The US exports a significant amount of fish.
* Top exporting countries: Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, South Korea.
* Popular exported fish: Pollock (for frozen fish sticks and fillets), Tuna (especially skipjack), Salmon, Crab, Shrimp.
Key factors to remember:
* Product type: The US trades not just whole fish, but also processed seafood like fillets, frozen seafood, canned seafood, and seafood products.
* Sustainability: The US is increasingly focused on sustainable seafood practices with regulations for imports and exports.
* Seasonality: Imports and exports fluctuate throughout the year depending on fishing seasons and global supply.
Where to find more specific information:
* US Department of Commerce: NOAA and US Department of Commerce have data on seafood trade.
* International trade organizations: WTO and FAO have data on global seafood trade.
I hope this general overview is helpful!
