To identify the products with revealed comparative advantage, and analyze the quality of expertise were used indicators of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Sales Performance (SP) and Quality of Expertise (QE). The results showed that the Brazilian fishing industry is in a great competitive situation in the U.S. market. The products in a state of withdrawal, and with missed opportunities (live fish and fish fillets) represent important business opportunities and investments in trade between Brazil and the United States.
