How this is worked out

A real fish is 1.1 kg of the local fish at the price in the linked report, converted to dollars at the ECB reference rate. Saury are sold one at a time and weigh about 150 g, so the Japan row counts small fish.

The reports are from different dates, and some are wholesale and some retail. Read the table as a rough guide, not a quote.
