Exercise 1

The following table gives the world's fish harvest and population data.

Use the world fish harvest and population data in the table to calculate the per capita fish consumption from 1990 to 2008 in kilograms per person. ( Hints: 1 million metric tons equals 1 billion kilograms; the human population data are measured in billions; and per capita consumption can be calculated directly by dividing the total amount consumed by a population figure for any year.)
