Abstract: Esse estudo tem como principal objetivo analisar a competitividade das exportações brasileiras de pescado no mercado dos Estados Unidos no período de 2000 a 2006. Para identificar os produtos que apresentam vantagem comparativa revelada e analisar a qualidade de especialização foram utilizados os indicadores de Vantagem Comparativa Revelada (VCR), a Taxa de Cobertura (TC) e indicador de Desempenho Comercial (DES). Com base nos resultados obtidos concluiu-se que os produtos do setor pesqueiro brasileiro apresentam vantagem comparativa no mercado norte-americano, destacando-se os crustáceos e os peixes (fresco, frio e congelado inteiro). Esses produtos estão em situação competitiva ótima, ou seja, têm vantagem comparativa e aumentaram sua inserção no mercado internacional. Adicionalmente, destacam-se como pontos fortes do setor, os peixes congelados inteiros, enquanto os crustáceos e os moluscos representam pontos fracos.----------------------------This study has as main objective to analyze the competitiveness of the Brazilian exports of fish in the market of the United States in the period 2000 to 2006.
