A Social Network Analysis for Fishery commodities International Trade Network

The purpose of this study aimed to examine international trade network of Fishery Commodities. In order to investigate the target network, the social network analysis method was adopted by using NetMiner V.4 software tool. Among OECD members, this paper explores these country's roles associated with influence analysis in fishery commodities trade network. Network centrality showed the most import countries are France and Germany. In the case of export network, the most significant countries are United States, Norway, France, Spain, Germany, and Japan in order, when computed by degree and closeness centrality. When calculated by betweenness centrality, however, there are important countries in order such as France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, and United Kingdom, except Japan. Regarding import network, the most import countries are Norway, United States, Japan, Spain, France, Sweden and Germany in order, computed by degree and closeness centrality. Betweenness centrality, however, are greater in such countries as France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and Canada in order, except Japan. From this findings, the paper showed Japan has not been able to perform an intermediary role in international fishery commodities trade network. Similar to Japan's situation, Korea's role is not significant as well.
