Scope

Domestic fish consumption of the general population in Finland describes the average fish consumption of individuals in the general population. Only Finnish fish are considered. Sea and freshwater species are considered separately. D↷

Data

Data 1

Fish consumption by the population [1] for twelve various fish species commonly consumed in Finland as normal distributions (weighed mean, weighed SD) and additionally indexed by age categories and gender.

Data 2

There are two kinds of data. Actual consumption data and fishery catch data.[2] [3] [4] [5]

For the most important species (herring, salmon) the actual consumption estimates are available, but for the most of the species consumption estimates are calculated from fishery catch. For those species, fishery catch is first transformed to filleted fish weight and further with actual edible proportions to fish consumption.

RKTL has data on overall fish consumption in Finland. This model yields a very similar estimate. D↷
