Most of the work for this article was accomplished during my four-month stay in Rome at the end of 2003 as a visiting expert at the Fishery Industries Division (FII) in FAO. Many thanks to the Director of the Division, Dr Grimur Valdimarsson, and the Chief of Fish Utilization and Marketing Service (FIIU), Dr Lahsen Ababouch, for the opportunity they gave me to visit FAO and for the technical support from the Division to prepare this article. I am also very grateful to Senior Officer Dr Audun Lem at FIIU for his kind and valuable advice in my work.
Last but not least, my sincere thanks to Project Manager Kristian Prytz at the Norwegian Seafood Federation. Without the fruitful discussions I have had with him, not to mention the written documentation he has put at my disposal, I would not have been able to write this article.
