Trade in fish products (Figure 11) is again strongly intra-regional, although some countries also
have important inter-regional links. Regional coherence is weaker in this case than was the case
for agri-food products. In terms of sub-networks, there are two European regions with some
Asian and African connections, along with a diverse network centered on the USA. The lower
part of the graph shows a dispersed network of trade among other countries from different
regions. The network of global trade in fish products is more dispersed and less responsive to
geography than is the case for the other two product groups examined above.
