New method of calculation in respect of 1960-1, 1961-2 and 1962-3. Based on records of Marketing Organization for fresh, salt/dried marine fish and a small percentage for other sea products, plus estimated 10 per cent eaten by fishermen and landed other than through the Marketing Organization.

New method of calculation in respect of 1960-1, 1961-2 and 1962-3 based on estimated landings instead of export figures. Includes previous categories of fresh frozen shrimp, fresh shrimp and silver shrimp. No change in basis of calculation,

(i) Export crops including vegetables, fruit and vegetable seeds exported under certificate

of origin were valued at $1,053,000.

(ii) Miscellaneous animal products including local products and those for re-export were

valued at $19,927,000.

(iii) Statistics for Spotted Fish, Fan Mussels and seaweed discontinued: value total in respect of 1960-1 adjusted accordingly and to take account of new methods of calculating Marine Fisheries and Shrimps and Prawns.
