In 1998, the United States imported $5.9 billion more in
edible fish and
seafood than it exported. That's the largest deficit of
any natural resource
besides oil, according to the National Marine
Fisheries Service. And in the next
15 years, the service estimates the
annual global demand for fish and seafood
will increase by more than 50
percent, to 120 million metric tons.
