Roedel, Director Current Fishery Statistics No. 5900 Fisheries of the United States, 1971 Prepared by STATISTICS AND MARKET NEWS DIVISION Hoyt A. Wheeland, Chief WASHINGTON, D.C. March 1972 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 — Price $1.00 PREFACE This is a preliminary report on the fisheries of the United States for 1971. The report is a continuation of similar annual reports designed to convey under one cover timely answers to fre- quently asked questions for the year just ended. The final report will be published in "Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1971 (Statistical Digest No. 65)." The information presented in this report came from many sources. The data on quantity and value of U .S . landings and processed products were collected and compiled by the Regional Statistics and Market News Divisions of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in cooper- ation with the various States . The data were tabulated and made ready for publication by the Wash- ington Office of the Statistics and Market News Division. Sources of other data appearing in this publication are: "Yearbook of Fisheries Statistics," Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ; Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census; and Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics . We have made numerous changes in this year's issue in response to suggestions from our many readers. We have added a glossary to define technical terms used in this report. Data are presented for the first time on U ,S . commercial landings by distance caught from the shores of the United States, and on full-time and part-time commercial fishermen. Some of the data on proces- sing and wholesaling establishments are shown by region and State for the first time. A table on marine sport fisheries also has been added. The federal responsibility for marine sport fisheries was transferred from the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife in the U .S . Department of the Inter- ior to the National Marine Fisheries Service when this agency and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, were created in 1970 within the U.S. Department of Com- merce . This is the first year that some of the above data have been collected. Estimating proced- ures may not in all cases be fully worked out and therefore may not be as precise as those for our older series. We assume the reader will take to heart the footnote "estimated" when using the data . The NMFS Statistics and Market News Division wants to take this opportunity to thank all of those States and members of industry who continually provide the data that make reports such as this one possible. We want to remind the readers that all data appearing in this publication are consistent with the provisions of the Federal Reports Act of 1942. Because the aim of the Statistics and Market News Division is to provide the kinds of data that are wanted by users of fisheries statistics, the Division welcomes any comments or sugges- tions that will lead to an improvement in the presentation of fisheries data. Please address any comments or suggestions to: Chief, Statistics and Market News Division, National Marine Fish- eries Service, 1815 North Fort Myer Drive, Room 505, Arlington, Virginia 22209. iii CONTENTS Page PREFACE iii REVIEW, 1971 1 U.S. LANDINGS U.S. commercial landings by species, 1970 and 1971 11 U.S. commercial landings of fish and shellfish by distance caught from U.S. shores, and caught in waters off foreign shores, 1971 14 U.S. commercial landings by States, 1970 and 1971 18 U.S. commercial landings by regions, 1970 and 1971 „ 19 Quantity and value of landings at certain U.S. ports, 1971 19 U.S. landings of fish and shellfish, 1960-71 20 Relative volume of the landings, by species, 1969 21 Relative value of the landings, by species, 1969 22 Disposition of landings, 1970 and 1971 23 Monthly landings and utilization of fish and shellfish, 1971 23 Take of Pribilof Islands sealskins, 1960-71 24 Average value of Pribilof Islands sealskins, 1960-71 24 Whale catch, 1971 25 Whale products, 1971 25 WORLD FISHERIES Catch of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic plants and animals, by leading countries, 1955-70 26 Catch of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic plants and animals, by country, 1969 and 1970 27 Catch of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic plants and animals, by continent, 1969 and 1970 28 Catch of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic plants and animals, by species groups, 1969 and 1970 29 PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS Packaged fish Production of packaged fish, 1971 29 Fish sticks, portions, and breaded shrimp Production of fish sticks and portions, 1960-71 30 Production of breaded shrimp, 1960-71 30 Frozen fishery products Freezings of fishery products, 1970 and 1971 31 Holdings of fishery products, December 31, 1970 and 1971 31 Canned pack Pack of certain canned products, 1970 and 1971 32 Production of canned fishery products, 1960-71 32 Fish meal, oil, and solubles Production ,of fish meal, oil, and solubles, 1970 and 1971 33 Industrial products Production of industrial products, 1960-71 33 FOREIGN TRADE U.S. Imports Imports of fishery products, 1960-71 34 Imports: Value, duties collected, and ad valorem equivalent, 1960-71 34 Imports of fishery products, 1970 and 1971 35 Imports of edible fishery products, by continent and country of origin, 1970-71 ... 36 Imports of fish blocks and slabs, by species, 1970 and 1971 37 Imports of fish blocks and slabs by country of origin, 1970 and 1971 37 CONTENTS Page FOREIGN TRADE U.S. Imports -

The quantity landed was 1 percent greater than in 1970 and was exceeded by land- ings only in 1956, 1959, 1961, and 1962. The value was 5 percent greater than in 1970, the pre- vious record year. The average value per pound of 12.94 cents in 1971 also was a record high. Total U.S. landings of fishery products for human food were 2.4 billion pounds in 1971, a decline of 4 percent as compared with 1970. On the other hand, total U.S. landings of industrial fish increased by 7 percent in 1971 and reached 2.6 billion pounds as compared with 2.4 billion pounds in the previous year. Total U.S. landings were heavier in 1971 than in 1970 principally because of large landings of menhaden, a fish used almost exclusively for processing into fish meal and oil. Among the other important fisheries, shrimp landings set anew record but total landings of tuna (excluding landings in Puerto Rico) were down 12 percent and salmon landings were down 24 percent as compared with the previous year. The increase in value of the total U.S. catch of all species was due largely to higher exvessel prices for most species in 1971 as compared with 1970. Landings of menhaden in the Gulf States and landings of shrimp in the Pacific Coast States (mainly Alaska) were the largest on record. Landings of bonito and Pacific cod increased several fold and landings increased sharply for the following species: croaker, sea trout, bluefin and skip- jack tuna, king crabs, and shrimp landed in the South Atlantic States. Landings declined markedly for a number of species including anchovies, haddock, halibut, Pacific ocean perch, pink salmon, red salmon, silver salmon, swordfish, yellowfin tuna, whiting, surf clams, and dungeness crabs. The value of processed fishery products produced in this country from both domestic and imported raw materials was a record $1.85 billion--7 percent above 1970. The 1971 canned pack of human and animal food of 46.3 million standard cases valued at $763.5 million was up slightly compared with 1970' s pack of 46.2 million cases valued at $741.8 million. There were record packs of tuna, animal (pet) food, clam chowder, and a larger production of canned alewives , mack- erel , Maine sardines , and oysters . Production of fish sticks and portions was 337.4 million pounds valued at a record $179.6 million. Breaded shrimp production was 104.3 million pounds valued at a record $120.8 million. Production of industrial fishery products was valued at $105.7 million, a gain of $6 . 1 million over 1970 . Cold storage holdings reached a record high of 338 million pounds at the end of September 1971, but by year end, holdings had declined to 302 million pounds, as compared with 306 mil- lion pounds at the end of 1970. Imports of edible fishery products were 1.8 billion pounds valued at $873 million. This was a 6 percent decline in quantity but an increase in value of 7 percent. Exports of edible domestic fishery products were 17 2 million pounds valued at $114 million in 1971, an increase of 22 percent in quantity and 21 percent in value as compared with 1970. In 1971 the U.S. civilian consumption of edible fishery products was 11.2 pounds per ca- pita—down considerably from the 1970 per capita consumption of 11.8 pounds.

REVIEW OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS • Menhaden landings of 2.2 billion pounds accounted for 44 percent of the total United States landings of all species. • Shrimp accounted for 8 percent of the quantity and 26 percent of the value of the total United States landings. • Louisiana led all States in volume of landings — 1,396.2 million pounds — followed by California , 585 .5 million pounds Virginia, 489 .0 million pounds Alaska, 449.1 million pounds and Mississippi, 397.6 million pounds. • California led all States in value of landings — $87. 2 million — followed by Alaska, $84.5 million — Louisiana, $72 .6 million — Texas, $7 0.0 million — Massachu- setts, $46.0 million, and Florida, $45 .2 million. • Cameron, Louisiana led all other U.S. fishing ports in quantity landed and San Pedro, California led all other domestic fishing ports in value of landings. • The 1971 landings of tuna by American flag vessels at Puerto Rico and American Samoa were 128.8 million pounds. • The 1971 landings of shrimp by American flag vessels at ports in South and Central America were reported as 17.5 million pounds (heads-on) valued at $23 .3 million — down sharply from the 48.8 million pounds valued at $30 „ 4 million landed in 1970. The number of American flag vessels in this fishery in 1971 was 250 vessels. • The Secretary of Commerce halted the taking or processing of whales on the Depart- ment of the Interior's Endangered Species List — blue, bowhead, finback, gray, humpback, right, sei, and sperm — after December 31, 1971. The importation of these whales or products thereof also was halted after that date_. TOTAL U.S. SUPPLY OF FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1960-71 (round-weight basis) Billion pounds' 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES Shrimp U .S . shrimp fishermen for the second year in a row established record landings and for the third year established a record value of shrimp with a volume of 387.9 million pounds (heads-on) and an exvessel value of $166.6 million. This represented a 20.5 mil- lion-pound-increase over 1970, and a $36.9 million increase over 1970's value. Prices of shrimp at all levels — boat to consumer — started at normal levels at the beginning of the year and climbed steadily to new highs that few would ever have anticipated. For example, the average wholesale price for 26-30 count Gulf, brown shrimp went from an average $1.18 per pound in December 1970 to $1.80 per pound in December 1971. Landings in the Gulf States as usual accounted for most of the shrimp landings — 227 .1 mil- lion pounds out of the total 387.9 million. Louisiana remained the leading producer in the Gulf with landings of 92.4 million pounds, heads-on. Fishermen along the South Atlantic Coast had improved landings over the poor year they ex- perienced during 1970. Record values at all levels contributed to a more successful year financially than volume data would indicate . Pacific Coast States had a new record year with landings of 105.5 million pounds valued at $5.3 million. Alaska remained the biggest producer with landings totaling 94.1 million pounds valued at $3. 8 million, 89 percent of the volume and 72 percent of the value of total Pacific Coast shrimp landings . The shrimp fishery at Kodiak e>perienced rapid growth in 1971. The number of vessels increased from 33-35 in 1970 to 45-50 in 1971, and the pro- cessing industry nearly doubled its capacity with five additional plants. The shrimp fish- ery in Alaska is now exceeded only by the salmon fishery. U.S. imports of shrimp totaled 191.3 million pounds — 26. 4 million pounds less than the previous record year 1970, but only about 2 million pounds less than the 193.3 million five-year average of 1966-70. Mexico remained the leading exporter to the U.S. Salmon Pacific salmon landings of 312.1 million pounds worth $77.8 million were 98.0 million pounds and $20.9 million less than in 1970. All species declined in both volume and value except chinook salmon which increased slightly in volume compared with the pre- vious year. The 1971 canned pack of Pacific salmon was 3.4 million cases — compared with 3.8 million cases in 1970. Alaska landings were about 75 percent of total Pacific salmon landings. Highlights of the 1971 season were: the 7 .4 million pink salmon harvest in Prince William Sound, the larg- est since 1947 when 8.1 million pinks were taken; a good pink salmon escapement in South- eastern Alaska which may reverse the recent trend of weakness in odd-year runs (if survi- val is good); and the accuracy of the forecast of 15 .2 million fishin the Bristol Bay sockeye runs — exceeded slightly by a return of 15.5 million fish. Tuna Landings of tuna in the continental United States and Hawaii were 348.0 million pounds worth $75.5 million — a decline of 45.5 million pounds but an increase of $553,000 compared with 1970. The higher exvessel value resulted principally from increases in the average price per pound received by fishermen for albacore, little, skipjack, and yellow- fin tuna. Fishermen on the Washington and Oregon coasts received a record $630 per ton for albacore tuna — $90 per ton more than in 1970. Principal reason for the smaller harvest was a marked decline in landings of vellowfin tuna — 165.2 million pounds in 1971 compared with 237.4 million in 1970. Albacore land- ings of 44.9 million pounds were 11.3 million less than in 1970. Total albacore landings from waters off the Pacific Northwest declined sharply compared with the record production of 197 0. Landings of bluefin (22.2 million pounds) and skipjack tuna (115.3 million) in- creased 44 percent and 37 percent, respectively, compared with the previous year. REVIEW The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission set a 197 1 quota of 140,000 short tons for the yellowfin tuna fishery in the regulatory area of the eastern tropical Pacific. When the season closed on April 9, 1971, fishermen had taken about 45 percent of the quota. Despite a decline in domestic landings, the 1971 pack of canned tuna was a record 22.2 million cases — about 144,800 cases more than in 1970, the former record year. The gain resulted from increased landings by U.S. vessels in Puerto Rico and American Samoa, which are not included in domestic landings statistics, and in imports of fresh and frozen tuna. Canned tuna available for consumption in 1971 (U.S. pack from domestic catch plus U.S. pack from imported fresh or frozen tuna and from imported canned) was 498.6 million pounds. About 39 percent of the U.S. supply was packed from domestic landings—com- pared with 40 percent in 1970. Crabs The Atlantic and Gulf catch of hard, blue crabs was 145.1 million pounds — only slightly below the 145.4 million pounds landed the previous year, and a small increase over the 1966-70 average of 140.6 million pounds. However, landings were considerably below the 151.6 million-pound-average for the years 1961-65. The exvessel value of blue crab landings set anew record at $12 .5 million; but the average price per pound was below the average price during the high value year of 1969. Record exvessel prices paid for shrimp during the production months diverted attention away from the blue crab fishery. Landings of Dungeness crabs amounted to 42.7 million pounds, down 27 percent from the 1970 record catch of 58.5 million pounds. The decrease resulted from a decline in the Ko- diak Dungeness crab fishery where landings were down to one-fifth of normal. Because of this, receipts of Kodiak Dungeness crabs and leg sections at Seattle, Washington dropped to 350,000 pounds in 1971, compared with the usual annual receipts of about 3.5 million pounds. Landings from Washington and Oregon totaled only 1.5 million pounds in 1971 — down from the 1»7 million pounds landed in 1970. Alaska king crab landings in 1971 were 70. 4 million pounds valued at $24. 7 million — an in- crease of 35 percent in volume and 87 percent in value over 1970. Apparently the 1970 regulations on closures, quotas and limitations on the number of crab pots were successful in helping to conserve the resource. In 1971, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game im- posed a season quota on the Kodiak king crab fishery for the first time. The quota of 10.2 million pounds was caught in a record time of 2 1/2 months, indicating an increase in availability of the resource. The 1970 landings of snow crabs of 12.7 million pounds were down 12 percent from the 14.5 million pounds landed in 1970. It appears that lack of market development rather than smaller available supplies of crabs may have been the cause for the decline. The total value of $1.8 million was almost 30 percent higher than the previous year. Menhaden. . . . .The total catch of menhaden, an industrial species and volume leader in U„S. landings, totaled 2.2 billion pounds in 1971, an increase of 353 million pounds over the previous year, and the largest landings of this species since 1962 when 2.3 billion pounds were landed. Whereas landings from the Chesapeake States improved-, the Gulf States, for the second consecutive year, established record landings of 1.6 billion pounds. Gulf land- ings comprised 73 percent of the total landings of this species. Production of menhaden meal (221,004 tons) increased 17 percent over the 188,600 tons produced the previous year. Although the total value ot menhaden meal was at a record high, the price per ton was considerably below the previous year. Imports of fish meal of 283,200 short tons were slightly higher than the previous year but were far below the aver- age of the previous 5 years of 512,900 short tons. REVIEW Production of menhaden oil was at a record high of 242.1 million pounds , exceeding the pre- vious high in 1961 by 6.9 million pounds, and the 1971 record value of $19.3 million ex- ceeded the previous record in 1970 by $2.4 million. Lobsters Landings of northern lobsters totaled 33.3 million pounds valued at $35 . 1 million — a decrease of 805 thousand pounds compared with the previous year but an increase of $1.6 million in value. Contributing to the increase in value were higher prices and larger land- ings of live lobsters due to improved shipboard handling and storing methods utilizing water circulating and cooling systems. Landings of spiny lobsters totaled 8.4 million pounds valued at $7.9 million — a decrease in volume of 1.9 million pounds but an increase in val- ue of $1.6 million above the previous year. The average exvessel value increased over 50 percent . Clams. „ . . .Landings of hard, soft, surf, and other clams totaled 82.7 million pounds of meats valued at $30.5 million — a sharp decline in volume from the 99.2 million pounds landed the previous year, whereas the value was an improvement overthe $28.8 million of 1970. There was only a small increase in the landings of hard clams that was negligible compared with the sharp drop in landings of surf clam meats from 67.3 million pounds in 1970 to52.6mil- lion in 1971. Part of the decline in landings of this species was attributed to an over-sup- ply in 1970 when record landings resulted in high stocks being carried over into 1971. Be- cause of the carry-over of stocks, the demand for surf clams decreased. In 1971 proces- sors even placed some vessels on daily catch quotas. Oysters The 1971 oyster catch yielded 54.6 million pounds of meats valued at $30.4 mil- lion— slightly above the previous year's volume of 53 .6 million pounds valued at $29.5 million. Largely responsible for the increase was improved landings from Middle Atlantic, Chesapeake and Gulf States; all other areas registered declines. Maryland with 16.7 mil- lion pounds, Louisiana with 9.9 million pounds, and Virginia with 8.5 million pounds ac- counted for 64 percent of total U.S. oyster landings and 67 percent of the value in 1971. Flounders Landings of Atlantic and Gulf flounders (112 .3 million pounds) were 10.3 million pounds or 8 percent below 1970 landings. The entire decrease occurred in the vellowtail fishery where landings of 62 .8 million pounds valued at $9 million accounted for 56 percent of the total volume and 49 percent of the total value . Because of overfishing of the resource during the past several years, the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries issued a regulation, effective January 1, 1971, placing an annual limitation on the quantity of yellowtail flounder that could be taken from Subarea 5 by fishing vessels of all member governments participating in the fishery in 1971. The annual catch of yellowtail flounder in Subarea 5 from the_area east of 69° long- itude was set at 16,000 metric tons (35 .3 million pounds); and the catch from. the area west of 699 longitude was limited to 13,000 metric tons (28.7 million pounds). The grounds east of 69° longitude were closed to yellowtail fishing on November 13, .1971, when 80 percent of the quota had been reached. The quota for the area west of 69° longitude was not reached in 1971. Groundfish The Atlantic fishery for groundfish (cod, cusk, haddock, white hake, pollock, and ocean perch) yielded 152.6 million pounds worth $16.3 million — a gain of 2.6 million pounds and $784,000 compared with 1970. Landings of four of the six groundfish species were greater than in 1970. The ocean perch harvest of 59.9 million pounds increased 4. 6 million, principally because of a slight resur- gence of the fishery at Gloucester. Landings of pollock (10 .8 million pounds) and white hake (5.7 million) increased 1.6 million pounds each. Cusk landings of 1.8 million pounds were slightly greater than in the previous year. REVIEW These gains were nearly offset by smaller landings of cod and haddock. Cod landings de- creased only slightly to 52.8 million pounds, but haddock production declined from 26.9 million pounds in 1970 to 21J3 million in 1971. The crisis that began in 1965 when had- dock stocks were overfished continued through 1971, although the 1971 year-class improved slightly compared with 1970. The annual catch quotas set by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) (12,000 metric tons in Subarea 5 and 18,000 tons in Subarea 4X) were not reached in 1971, and the only closed season was March-April. A considerable number of foreign vessels fished off the New England coast during 1971 and were undoubtedly active in the haddock fishery. Scallops, sea Landings in 1971 were 6.3 million pounds valued at $8.8 million — down 14 percent in quantity but only 5 percent in value from 1970. The annual average exvessel price of $1.41 per pound was 13 cents or 10 percent higher than the $1.28 paid to fishermen in 1970. The annual average exvessel price at New Bedford, Massachusetts, the principal port in the scallop fishery was $1.48 per pound. Alaska scallop landings of 87 8, 000 pounds were down 41 percent from the 1.5 million pounds in 1970. The average exvessel price of $1.05 per pound showed little change from the 1970 average price of $1 .03 . Only four vessels operated in the Alaska scallop fishery during 1971, compared to seven in 197 0. Halibut Combined United States and Canadian halibut landings on the Pacific Coast totaled 47 million pounds (dressed weight), well below the 52.5 million-pound-quota set by the International Pacific Halibut Commission and the smallest amount landed since 1932. The United States share of the catch was 21.3 million pounds (dressed weight) or 45 percent in 1971 — down from 25.8 million pounds the previous year. In the last two years, the Cana- dian catch has been about 4 million pounds larger than the United States catch. As the United States catch has declined, a greater percentage of the catch has been landed in Alaska . About 7 9 percent of the United States catch was landed in Alaska in 197 1 . Exves- sel prices were lower at all Pacific Coast halibut ports during 1971. The average price paid at Seattle was 36 cents per pound in 1971 compared with 39 cents in 1970 and the rec- ord average 41 cents in 1969. PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS Canned fishery products. . . . .The 1971 pack of canned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was 46.3 million standard cases (1.4 billion pounds} val- ued at a record $763.5 million to the canning companies. Compared with 1970, this was an increase of 137,198 cases (6.0 million pounds) in volume and $21.7 million in value. There were record packs of tuna, animal (pet) food, clam chowder and larger packs of ale- wives, mackerel, Maine sardines and oysters. The canned packs of salmon, crab meat, and shrimp were less than in 1970. The pack for human consumption (809.2 million pounds) was 4.0 million pounds more than in 1970, while the amount for bait and animal food increased 2.0 million pounds. Five items — salmon, tuna, shrimp, clam products, and animal (pet) food — accounted for 93 per- cent of the total value of all canned fishery products. The oack of animal (pet) food con- sisting of less than 10 pounds of fish per standard case (3.5 million standard cases val- ued at $19.9 million) was not included in the 1971 data. REVIEW Salmon: — The 1971 pack of Pacific salmon totaled 3. 4 million standard cases (162.9 million pounds) valued at $129.7 million compared with the 1970 pack of 3.8 million cases valued at $138.7 million. The production in Washington and Oregon of 614,199 standard cases was more than double the 1970 pack of 257,692 standard cases. Tuna: — The 1970 pack of tuna was a record 22.2 million standard cases (438.8 million pounds) valued at a record $413.3 million. The 1971 pack exceeded the previous record pack in 1970 by about 100,000 cases and $32.7 million. The Pacific Coast led in produc- tion with 50.3 percent of the total, followed by Puerto Rico with 34.9 percent; the Atlantic Coast, Hawaii, and American Samoa accounted for the remainder. Mackerel: — The 1971 pack of mackerel was 367,043 standard cases valued at $3.1 million compared with a 1970 pack of 188,609 standard cases valued at $1.5 million. Pacific mackerel were not canned on a commercial basis in 1971. Shrimp: — The ,1971 pack of shrimp was 3.2 million standard cases (21.4 million pounds) valued at $33.7 million, compared with the record 1970 pack of 3.7 million standard cases (25.1 million pounds) valued at $37.3 million. Clams: — The 1971 pack of clams and clam products was a record 2.7 million cases valued at a record $26.4 million. The production of whole and minced clams was 634,450 stand- ard cases valued at $9.8 million while the production of clam chowder and juice totaled 2.1 million cases valued at $16.6 million. Industrial fishery products The 1971 production of industrial fishery products by 123 plants in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was valued at $105 .7 million — an increase of $6.2 million compared with 1970. Marine animal scrap and meal: — The 1971 production of 292,429 tons was 8.6 percent over the 1970 production and the largest since 1962. Menhaden meal (221,004 tons) accounted for 76 percent of total meal production. Landings of menhaden at Gulf ports established, a new record in 1971. Total menhaden landings were about 2.2 billion pounds — about 19 percent above those of the previous year. Imports of fish meal were 283,249 tons, 13 percent greater than the 251,492 tons imported in 1970 and accounted for 49 percent of the total supply. The total supply of fish meal (imports plus domestic production) for use in this country in 1971 was 575,678 tons. Marine animal oil: — The domestic production of marine animal oilwas262.3 million pounds — 27 percent above the 1970 yield of 206.1 million pounds. Menhaden oil totaled 242.1 mil- lion pounds in 1971 and accounted for 92 percent of the total production. U.S. exports of domestic fish oils were 229.9 million pounds in 1971 — 71.1 million pounds more than the 158.8 million pounds exported in 1970. Fish solubles: — The 1971 production offish solubles was 110,403 tons — about 16 percent above the 94,968 tons produced in 1970. Nearly 83 percent of the total came from men- haden . Other industrial products: — Products from oyster shells were valued at $4.1 million com- pared with $3.4 million in 1970. Other industrial items produced in 1971 included acrar- agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells processed for serving food, fish feed pellets. Irish moss extracts, kelp products, leather products, liquid fertilizer, colored mussel chips, mussel shell lime, and pearl essence. These items were valued at $31 .4 million in 1971—compared with $26.6 million in 1970. REVIEW Packaged fish Production of uncooked fresh or frozen fillets and steaks during 1971, ex- clusive of Hawaii and Alaska, was 125.9 million pounds valued at $74.3 million to the processors. Compared with 1970, this was a decrease of 7.6 million pounds and $543,600. Total production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock and Atlantic ocean perch) was 43.6 million pounds — compared with 42.9 million pounds pro- duced in 1970. An estimated 368.5 million pounds of whole fish were required for the 1971 production of packaged fish fillets and steaks . Fish sticks and portions The 1971 production was 337.4 million pounds, down 12.8million pounds when compared with the record production of 350.2 million pounds in 1970. The value of these products exceeded the 1970 value by $24 million, reaching a new high of $179.7 million in 1971. Although fish stick production decreased from 115.9 million pounds in 1970 to slightly less than 98 million pounds in 1971, the production of fish portions in- creased by over 5 million pounds to a new record of 239.7 million in 1971. Breaded shrimp About 104.3 million pounds of breaded shrimp, valued at a record high of $120.8 million were produced in 1971. This was 1.3 million pounds below the 1969 record production of 105.6 million pounds. Frozen fishery trade The 1971 production of frozen round, dressed, and drawn fish, fillets, and packaged shellfish by plants reporting to the Service amounted to 362 million pounds. This was a decrease of 26 million pounds compared to 1970. It is estimated that a catch of 557 million pounds of fish and shellfish (live weight) was required for the 1971 produc- tion. On September 30, 1971, holdings of frozen fish and shellfish were at an all time high of 338 million pounds. Contributing to this were record holdings of blocks and slabs (76 mil- lion pounds) and round, dressed salmon (27 million pounds). Previous highs for these items were blocks and slabs, 60 million pounds on September 30, 1969; and round, dressed salmon, 25 million pounds on September 30, 1970. On December 31, 1971, holdings of frozen fish and shellfish totaled 302 million pounds compared to 306 million pounds on December 31, 1970. In January 1971, the National Marine Fisheries Service expanded collection of freezings and holdings data to include cod, flounder, and haddock blocks and slabs; Dungeness and king crabs; breaded and peeled shrimp; and separate items for lobsters (spiny and other) . FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS Foreign trade in fishery products Total U.S. imports of edible and nonedible fishery pro- ducts were a record $1,060 million in 1971, a gain of $22 million or 2 percent over 1970. The value of edible imports increased to a record $873 million in 1971 as compared with $813 million in 1970, a gain of 7 percent. The quantity of imported edible products, how- ever, declined to 1,756 million pounds — down 6 percent from 1970's record quantity. The value of nonedible imports declined from $224.9 million in 1970 to $187.1 million in 1971, a decrease of 17 percent. 10 REVIEW Imports of blocks and slabs, frozen tuna (except albacore) , and sea scallops set new rec- ords. Imports increased for fresh or frozen halibut, salmon, tuna loins and discs, and common (northern) lobsters. There were increases also for imports of canned sardines (not in oil), canned tuna (in oil) , canned bonito and yellowtail (in oil and not in oil), and canned crabmeat. Imports declined, however, for fresh or frozen fillets, frozen albacore tuna, frozen shrimp, canned sardines, (in oil)^ canned tuna (not in oil), and canned oysters.. Imports of fish meal were up in 1971 as compared witn 1970, but imports of fish solubles and sperm whale oil were down . Total exports of domestic fishery products, edible and nonedible, were a record $139.2 million in 1971 — up 19 percent over 1970. Exports of edible products were 171.8 million pounds valued at $113.6 million in 1971 — up 22 percent in quantity and 21 percent in value over 1970; exports of nonedible products were $25.6 million, an increase of 8 percent over 1970. Exports of edible domestic products increased in 1971 as compared with 1970 largely be- cause of increased exports of fresh and frozen shrimp, canned shrimp, fresh and frozen salmon, canned salmon and canned squid. Exports of nonedible products increased largely because of increased exports of unclassified fish oils (mostly menhaden oil) .

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is based on prices from a sample of 39 standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 17 small cities collected to represent all urban areas of the United States, ranging in size from cities with a population of 2,500 to New York City. Agents collect monthly food prices from chain and independent retail food stores that voluntarily report their selling prices . Prices are those in effect on the day of the agent's visit and include any sale or weekend special prices which are offered on that day. The Bureau's agents use a description defining the quality or grade and size range for each food for which prices are collected. All prices are converted to a standard unit and population weights are employed in obtaining U.S. average prices for all areas combined.

PER CAPITA UTILIZATION 67 Per capita utilization of all commercially caught fish and shellfish is based on the total supply of fishery products, both edible and industrial, (see p. 50) ona round-weight equivalent basis, without taking into consideration beginning or ending stocks, exports, defense purchases, or shipments to U ,S . territories . Per capita utilization figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see pp. 68-69) . Per capita consumption figures are derived from using an edible (for human use) meat- weight basis rather than round weight. In addition, the determination of consumption includes al- lowances for beginning and ending stocks, exports, defense purchases, and shipments to U .S . territories, whereas the determination of utilization does not include such allowances. Per capita utilization is derived by using total population including armed forces overseas and per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population as of July 1 each year.

This decline was the result of 6 percent lower landings and 3 per- cent lower imports in the fresh and frozen category. Canned production was up fractionally but imports were down 19 percent from 197 0. Exports of all fishery products were up 14 percent. To- tal beginning stocks in 1971 were up 12 percent from 1970 and ended the year 1971 with an increase of 2 percent.

Dried products are cured by sun or air-drying; pickled or salted products are those products preserved by applying salt, or by pick- ling (immersing in brine); smoked products are cured with smoke or a combination of smoking and drying or salting. Exvessel price: Price received by a fisherman for fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants and an- imals landed at the dock. Fish block: Boneless or virtually boneless fish flesh frozen into blocks weighing over 10 pounds and suitable for the production of fish sticks and portions . Fish fillets: The sides of fish that are either skinned or have the skin on, cut lengthwise from the backbone. Most types of fillets are boneless or virtually boneless; some may be specified as "boneless fillets." GLOSSARY 95 Fish meal: A ground, dried product made from fish or shellfish or parts thereof, generally produced by cooking raw fish or shellfish with steam and pressing the material to obtain the solids which are then dried. Fish oil: An oil processed from the body (body oil) or liver (liver oil) of fish. Most fish oils are a byproduct of the production of fish meal. Fish portion: A piece of fish flesh generally of uniform size with thickness of 3/8 of an inch or more and which does not conform to the definition of a fish stick. A fish portion is generally cut from a fish block . Fish solubles: Extracted from the residual press liquor (called "stick water") after the solids are removed for drying (fish meal) and the oil extracted by centrifuging. This residue is generally condensed to 50 percent solids and marketed as "condensed fish solubles." Fish steak: Cross-section slices cut from large dressed fish. Steaks are usually about 3/4 of an inch thick . Fish stick: An elongated piece of breaded fish flesh weighing not less than 3/4 of an ounce and not more than 1-1/2 ounces with the largest dimension at least three times that of the next largest dimension. A fish stick is generally cut from a block of fillets. Full-time commercial fisherman: An individual who spends 50 percent or more of his working year in commercial fishing activities, including port activity such as vessel repair, re-rigging, etc. Groundfish: Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the sea floor. The term includes a wide va- riety of bottom fishes, rock fishes and flat fishes. However, the National Marine Fisheries Ser- vice generally uses the term in a narrower sense. In this "Fisheries of the United States," the term applies to the following species: cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock and Atlantic ocean perch . Industrial fishery products: Products manufactured from fish, shellfish or other aquatic plants and animals which are not consumed directly by humans, such as fish meal, fish oils, condensed fish solubles , pearl essence, shark and other aquatic animal skins, and products from sea weeds and shells . Landings, commercial: Quantities of fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants and animals brought ashore and sold. Landings of fish may be in terms of round (live) weight or dressed weight . Landings of crustaceans are generally on a live weight basis except for shrimp which may be on a heads-on or heads-off basis . Mollusks are generally landed with the shell on but in some cases only the meats are landed (such as scallops). Data for all mollusks are published on a meat weight basis . Packaged fish: In this publication, fresh or frozen, raw fish fillets, steaks, tenderloins, butterfly fillets, and similar products packed in consumer or institutional-size packages. Part-time commercial fisherman: An individual who spends less than 50 percent of his working year in commercial fishing activities. Per capita consumption: Consumption of edible fishery products in the United States, divided by the total civilian population. In calculating annual per capita consumption, estimates of the civilian resident population of the United States on July 1 of each year are used . These estimates are taken from Current Population Reports Series P-25, published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census . 96 GLOSSARY Per capita utilization: The utilization of all fishery products both edible and non-edible in the United States , divided by the total population of the United States . Processed fishery products: Fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants and animals , and products thereof, preserved by canning, freezing, cooking, dehydrating, drying, fermenting, pasteuriz- ing, adding salt or other chemical substances, and other commercial processes. Also, changing the form of fish, shellfishor other aquatic plants and animals from their original state intoa form in which they are not readily identifiable, such as fillets, steaks, or shrimp logs. Retail (fish) price: The price of fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants or animals, and products thereof, sold to the final consumer. Prices charged by food and speciality stores. Round (live) weight: The weight of fish, shellfish or other aquatic plants and animals as taken from the water; the complete or full weight as caught. The tables on world catch found in this publication include in the case of mollusks the weight of both the shells and the meats, whereas the tables on U.S. landings include only the weight of the meats. Utilization of fishery products: Estimated disappearance of the total supply of fishery products both edible and inedible on a round weight basis without taking into consideration beginning or ending stocks, exports, military purchases or shipments to U.S. territories. Vessel: A commercial fishing craft having a capacity of 5 net tons or more. These craft are either enrolled or documented by the U.S. Coast Guard and have an official number assigned by that agency. A commercial fishing craft is one that is engaged in capturing fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants or animals for sale. Wholesale (fish) price: Price of fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants and animals, and products thereof, charged by manufacturers and other producers for sale generally in large quantities.
