PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1994

Ths publication bk a preliminary report for 1994 on
commercial and recreational fisheries of the United
States with catches In both the U.S. and foreign Exclusive
Economic Zones (EEZ). This annual report provides timely
answers to frequently asked questions.

SOURCES OF DATA

Information in this report came from many
sources. Fleld offices of the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), in cooperation with various States,
collected and complled data on U.S. commercial
landings and processed fishery products. The NMFS
Fisheries Statistics Division in Silver Spring, MD, managed
the collection and compilation of recreational statistics,
and tabulated and prepared all data for publication.
Sources of other data appearing in this publication are:
U.S. Bureau of the Census, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Department
of the Interior, and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA

Data on U.S. commercial and recreational
landings, employment, prices, and production of
processed products are preliminary for 1994. Final data
will be published In other NMFS Current Fishery Statistics
publications.

The Fisheries Statistics Division of NMFS takes this
opportunity to thank members of states, Industry, and
foreign nations who provided the data that made this
publication possible.

Program leaders of the field offices were:
Gregory Power (Acting), New England, Middle Atiantic,
and Chesapeake; Tony Frank, Great Lakes Fisheries
Commission, Great Lakes States; Kenneth Hanis, Guy
Davenport, and Margot Hightower for the South Atlantic
and Gulf States; Patricia J. Donley, Califomia and Hawall;
John K. Blshop, Oregon and Washington; and Patsy
Bearden, Alaska.

DEFINITIONS - (See Glossary)

As in past Issues of this publication, the units of
quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S. landings
are shown In round weight (except mollusks which are in
meat weight), unless otherwise noted; quantities shown
for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight, as
reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, unless
otherwise noted; the value of the U.S. domestic
commercial catch Is exvessel (In the Review Section on
important species actual and deflated exvessel prices
are shown. The deflated value was computed using the
Gross Domestic Products Implicit Price Deflator); the
value for U.S. Imports Is generally the market value In the
foreign (exporting) country and, therefore, excludes U.S.
import duties, freight charges from the foreign country to
the United States, and insurance; the value for exports is
generally the value at the U.S. port of export, based on
the selling price. including inland freight, Insurance, and
other charges. Countries and territories shown In the U.S.
foreign trade section are established for statistical
purposes in the Tariff Schedules of the United States
Annotated (International Trade Commission) and
reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

REVIEW

MAJOR CHANGES. Significant changes occurred in
1994 in the commercial fisheries data collection system
employed in the area from Maine through Virginia that
make comparisons between years problematic. New
reporting and record keeping programs were initiated by
NMFS to satisfy the requirements of Fishery
Management Plans and amendments developed by the
New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management
Councils. These program changes required fishermen
to record and mail in logbooks on harvest and effort data
on a trip by trip basis. The data collection and
subsequent processing of data was affected by several
start up and funding problems. Simultaneously, the
historical NMFS port agent-dealer weighout system was
undergoing reorganization and was adversely impacted
by the unanticipated retirement of several statistical area
supervisors.

Consequently, the time series of U.S. catch by species
and distance from shore is not included in this year’s
“Fisheries of the U.S.” since these data were unavailable
for the New England, Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake
Regions. In addition, apparent changes in landings
between 1994 and previous years for these regions may
be partially or entirely due to changes in the reporting
system rather than actual fisheries changes. For
example, 1994 data for the Potomac River, several
Massachusetts inshore fisheries, and scattered ports
throughout the Northeast were not available.

U.S, LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and
industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 states
were 10.5 billion pounds or 4.7 million metric tons
valued at a record $3.8 billion in 1994--a decrease of 5.5
million pounds (down less than 1 percent), but an
increase of $374.9 million (up 11 percent) compared
with 1993. The 1994 landings showed an increase in
major species such as Pacific hake, Atlantic mackerel,
salmon, tuna, American lobster, and squid when
compared with 1993. The 1994 average exvessel price
per pound paid to fishermen was 37 cents compared to
the 33 cents they received in 1993. Finfish accounted
for 87 percent of total landings, but only 52 percent of
the total value.

Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports
outside the 50 states or transferred to internal water
processing vessels (IWPs) were an additional 543.7

million pounds (246,600 metric tons) valued at $332.0
million. This was a 14 percent, or 66.9 million pounds
(30,300 metric ton) increase in quantity and a $137.6
million (71 percent) increase in value compared with
1993. Most of these landings consisted of tuna and reef
fishes landed in Puerto Rico, American Samoa and
other foreign ports and IWP transfers of sea herring, and
miscellaneous species.

Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 states
were 7.9 billion pounds (3.6 million metric tons) in 1994-
-a decrease of 278 million pounds (126,100 metric tons)
compared with 1993.

Landings for reduction and other industrial
purposes were 2.5 billion pounds (1.1 million metric
tons) in 1994--an increase of 12 percent compared with
1993.

The 1994 U.S. marine recreational finfish catch
(including fish caught and released alive) on the Atlantic,
Gulf, and Pacific coasts was an estimated 361.9 million
fish taken on an estimated 66.1 million fishing trips. The
harvest (fish kept) was estimated at 173.2 million fish
weighing 199.0 million pounds.

WORLD LANDINGS. In 1993, the most recent year for
which data are available, world commercial fishery
landings were 101.4 million metric tons--an increase of
2.6 million metric tons (up 3 percent) compared with
1992.

China was the leading nation with 17.3 percent
of the total catch; Peru, second with 8.3 percent; Japan,
third with 8.0 percent; Chile, fourth with 6.0 percent;
United States, fifth with 5.9 percent; and Russia, sixth
with 4.4 percent.

PRICES. Exvessel price indices increased for 23 of the
32 species groups being tracked, and decreased for the
remaining 9 species groups. The chum salmon price
index had the largest decrease (39 percent) while the
snow crab price index had the largest increase (85
percent). The 1994 annual exvessel price index for
edible fish and shellfish increased 26 percent from
1993. The annual index for industrial fish increased 20
percent.

REVIEW

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The estimated value of the
1994 domestic production of edible and nonedible
fishery products was $7.8 billion, $632.9 million (7
percent) less than the $8.5 billion in 1993. The value of
edible products was $7.3 billion--a decrease of $667.7
million (8 percent) compared with 1993. The value of
industrial products was $573.3 million in 1994--an
increase of $34.8 million (6 percent) compared with
1993.

FOREIGN TRADE. The total import value of edible and
nonedible fishery products was $12.0 billion in 1994--an
increase of $1.4 billion (13 percent) compared with
1993. Imports of edible fishery products (product
weight) were 3.0 billion pounds (1.4 million metric tons)
valued at $6.6 billion in 1994--an increase of 117.7
million pounds (4 percent), and $796.4 million (14
percent) compared with 1993. Imports of nonedible
(i.e., industrial) products were $5.3 billion--an increase
of $568.1 million (12 percent) compared with 1993.

Total export value of edible and nonedible
fishery products was $7.4 billion in 1994--an increase of
$456.1 million (7 percent) compared with 1993. United
States firms exported 2.0 billion pounds (897,400 metric
tons) of edible products valued at $3.1 billion--a
decrease of 7.5 million pounds (3,400 metric tons) but
increased $49.3 million compared with 1993. Exports
of nonedible products were valued at a record $4.3
billion, $406.8 million more than 1993.

SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight
equivalent) was 13.7 billion pounds (6.2 million metric
tons) in 1994--a decrease of 107.0 million pounds (1
percent) compared with 1993. The change in edible
reflects a decrease of 3 percent in domestic
commercial landings. The supply of industrial fishery
products was 5.6 billion pounds (2.5 million metric
tons) in 1994--a decrease of 918.0 million pounds
(14 percent) compared with 1993. The change in
industrial reflects a decrease of 1.2 billion pounds (28
percent) in imports.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of
fishery products was 15.2 pounds of edible meat per
person in 1994, up 0.2 pound from the 1993 per capita
consumption of 15.0 pounds.

CONSUMER EXPENDITURES. U.S. consumers spent
an estimated $39.4 billion for fishery products in 1994.
The 1994 total includes $26.4 billion in expenditures at
food service establishments (restaurants, carry-outs,
caterers, etc.); $12.5 billion in retail sales for home
consumption; and $487.4 million for industrial fish
products. By producing and marketing a variety of
fishery products for domestic and foreign markets, the
commercial marine fishing industry contributed $20.2
billion (in value added) to the U.S. Gross National
Product.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

The NMFS calculation of per capita
consumption is based on a ‘“disappearance"
model. The total U.S. supply of imports and landings
is converted to edible weight and decreases in
supply such as exports and inventories are
subtracted out. The remaining total is divided by a
population value to estimate per capita
consumption. Data for the model are derived
primarily from secondary sources and are subject to
incomplete reporting; changes in source data or
invalid model assumptions may each have a
significant effect on the resulting calculation.

U.S. per capita consumption of fish and
shelifish was 15.2 pounds (edible meat) in 1994. This
total was 0.2 pounds more than the 15.0 pounds
consumed in 1993. Per capita consumption of fresh
and frozen products was 10.4 pounds, an increase
of 0.2 pounds from 1993. Fresh and frozen finfish

accounted for 6.4 pounds while fresh and frozen
shellfish consumption was 3.8 pounds per capita.
The fresh and frozen finfish includes approximately
0.8 pounds of farm raised catfish. Consumption of
canned fishery products was 4.5 pounds per capita
in 1994, the same as in 1993. Imports of edible
seafood made up 54% of the consumption.

Per Capita Use. Per capita use is based on the
supply of fishery products, both edible and non-
edible (industrial), on a round-weight equivalent
basis without considering beginning or ending
stocks, defense purchases, or exports. The per
capita use of all edible and industrial fishery
products in 1994 was 74.1 pounds, down 4.7 pounds
compared with 1993.

18 U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

DATA COLLECTION. While data on commercial fisheries
have been collected for many years, detalled
statistical Information on marine recreational fishing Is
also required to support a variety of fishery
management and development purposes. These
Include the objectives of the Magnuson Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, Public Law 94-
265, as amended. However, prior to 1979, the lack of
a continuous and systematic collection of marine
recreational fishery data prevented the
accomplishment of these goals. Therefore, NMFS
began a new comprehensive Marine Recreational
Fishery Statistical Survey (MRFSS) In 1979. Data
collected through the MRFSS show that recreational
fisheries can have a tremendous impact on fish stocks.
For several important management species
recreational landings surpass commercial landings.
Surveys have been conducted In the following areas
and years:

Atlantic and Gulf, 1979 through 1994;
Pacific, mid-1979 through 1989, 1993,1994;
Western Pacific, 1979 through 1981;
Caribbean, 1979, 1981.

Preliminary estimates of catch and trips from
the MRFSS for the Atlantic/Gulf and Pacific coasts for
1994 are presented In the following tables. Summary
graphs for 1986-1994 (Atlantic/Gulf) and 1982-1994
(Pacific) catch and trips are also shown. Historical
data shown In these graphs differ from previously
published data due to data revisions. These revisions
which Involved changes in _ statistical estimation
procedures and cleaning the data thoroughly have
Improved the accuracy and overall quality of the
MRFSS estimates. The survey is being conducted in
1995 along the coast of the entire continental United
States except the states of Washington and Texas.

The MRFSS data collection consists of an
Intercept survey of anglers in the field and an
Independent telephone survey of coastal county
households. These Independent components, along
with census Information, are combined to produce
estimates of recreational catch, fishing effort, and
participation. Estimates are generated by subregion,
state, species, mode and area of fishing. In addition,
Information on catch rates and measurements of fish
lengths and weights are obtained.

The MRFSS Is only one of several NMFS
programs which collect data on recreational fisheries.
Specialized surveys which target important
management species are also conducted.

DATA TABLES. The total number of fish caught Is
presented for twenty commonly caught species groups
on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Total number
caught Includes those fish which were brought ashore
in whole form and were avallable for identification,
weighing, and measuring as well as those fish which
were not available for Identification. This latter
category includes those fish which were used for bait,
discarded, filleted or released alive. Each species
group may contain one or more species, genera, or
families.

Total catch Is distributed by subregion, fishing
area and mode. The fishing areas are; ocean 3 miles
or less from land, ocean more than 3 miles from land,
and inland (sounds, rivers, bays). However, ocean
data for the Gulf coast of Florida are reported as 10
miles or less from land and more than 10 miles from
land.

The fishing modes are; shore (man-made
structures and beach/bank), party/charter boat, and
private/rental boat. In 1994 partyboats were not
sampled by the MRFSS in the South Atlantic and Gulf
subregions; therefore estimated catches are given for
charterboats only for these subregions.

Trip estimates and participation estimates are
presented for coastal residents (generally residing within
25 miles of the coast), non-coastal residents, and non-
residents fishing outside of their home state. Estimated
number of trips are also shown by fishing mode.

The 1994 survey did not include the states of
Texas or Washington. Sampling was not conducted
during January/February In the Atlantic coast states
north of Florida, or in November/December in states
north of Massachusetts. More detalled Information will
be avallable In a separate MRFSS report to be
published later.

PRELIMINARY 1994 MRFSS DATA. The U.S. marine
recreational finfish catch in 1994 (excluding Alaska,
Hawail, Washington, Texas, and Pacific coast salmon)
was an estimated 361.9 million fish. Approximately one-
half of these fish were released alive. The total marine
recreational finfish harvest (excluding fish released
alive) was an estimated 173.2 million fish weighing an
estimated 199.0 million pounds. These fish were taken
on an estimated 66.1 million fishing trips. Seventy-nine
percent of these trips were taken by residents of the
state the fishing trip was made from.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES 19

The Atiantic and Gulf coasts accounted for
over 91 percent of the total U.S. marine recreational
finfish catch by number and for 87 percent of the
fishing trips.

The private/rental boat mode accounted for
61 percent of the total U.S. marine recreational finfish
catch by number while shore and party/charter modes
made up 30 and 9 percent, respectively.

Atlantic and Gulf. Commonly caught species In 1994
were herrings (primarily used for balt), Atlantic croaker,
spotted seatrout, spot, summer flounder, pinfish, and
saltwater catfish. Top-ranked nor-balt species by
subregion were striped bass in the North Atlantic,
Atlantic croaker in the Mid-Atiantic, spot In the South
Atlantic, and spotted seatrout In the Gulf of Mexico.
By subregion the Gulf of Mexico accounted for the
highest numbers of fish caught (44%) followed by the
Mid-Atlantic (27%).

Thirty-four percent of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast recreational fishing trips were made In South
Atiantic, thirty percent In Gulf of Mexico, twenty-four
percent in Mid-Atlantic, and ten percent in North
Atiantic. Fifty-six percent of all Atlantic and Gulf trips
were made from boat modes while 44 percent were
shore based trips.

The most commonly caught non-balt species
In 1994 by mode were spot from shore mode, spotted
seatrout from charterboat mode (South Atlantic and
Gulf only), black sea bass from party/charterboat
mode (North and Mid- Atiantic subregions only), and
spotted seatrout from private/rental boat mode.
Private/rental boat trips accounted for 50 percent of all
fish caught recreationally on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts.

Ten percent of the total marine recreational
catch on the Atiantic and Gulf coasts came from the
EEZ. The most commonly caught species in federally
managed waters were red snapper, black sea bass,
Atlantic cod, scup, and bluefish.

Pacific. Commonly caught species In 1994 were
Pacific mackerel, kelp bass, barred sand bass, blue
rockfish, and surf smelt. Top-ranked species by
subregion were Pacific mackerel in Southem California,
surf smelt In Northem Callifomia, and black rockfish In
Oregon. By subregion Southem Callfomia accounted
for the highest numbers of fish caught (79%) followed
by Northem Callifomia (16%) and Oregon (5%).

Skty-elght percent of the Pacific coast
recreational fishing trips (excluding Washington and
salmon trips) were made In Southem Callifomia. Over
two-thirds of all Pacific coast trips were taken from boat
modes while 32 percent were from the shore.

The top ranked species In 1994 by mode were
surf smelt from the shore mode, kelp bass from the
party/charterboat mode, and Pacific mackerel from
the private/rental boat mode. Private/rental boat trips
accounted for 38 percent of all fish caught
recreationally on the Pacific coast.

Twenty percent of the total marine recreational
catch on the Pacific coast came from the EEZ. The
most commonly caught Pacific coast species in
federally managed waters for 1994 were Pacific
mackerel, kelp bass, and boccaclo. Seventy percent
of the Pacific coast marine recreational catch came
from the ocean within three miles from shore (state
waters).

Note:--Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 176 countries or areas. The
total value of exports is consistently less than the total value of imports, probably because
charges for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value but not
in the export value. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1. Fish,
fresh, chilled or frozen; 2. Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3. Crustaceans and mollusks,
fresh, dried, salted,, etc.; 4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight
containers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk products and preparations, whether or not in airtight
containers; 6. Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic animal origin; and 7. Meals,
solubles and similar animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.

(1) Resident population for 1909 to 1929 and civilian resident population for 1930 to date.
Population estimates for the years 1980 to 1991 are revised to reflect changes between the 1980
and 1990 decennial population enumeration. Changes did not significantly alter pounds consumed
per capita.

(2) Fresh and frozen fish consumption from 1910 to 1928 is estimated. Beginning in 1973, data
include consumption of artificially cultivated catfish. Domestic landings used in calculating
consumption are preliminary after 1977.

(3) Canned fish consumption for 1911 to 1920 is estimated. Beginning in 1921, it is based on
production reports, packer stocks, and foreign trade statistics for individual years.

(4) Cured fish consumption for 1910 to 1928 is estimated.

(5) Data for 1909 estimate based on the 1908 census and foreign trade data.

PER CAPITA 71

U.S. USE

Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based on the supply of fishery products,
both edible and nonedible (industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without considering
beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports.

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data. Per capita
consumption figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round
weight consumption. In addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and
ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does not include such allowances.

Per capita use is derived by using total population including U.S. Armed Forces overseas.
The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

INDEX

74 PRICES
The Exvessel Price table is an Index of changes in base year). That number was then divided by the 1982
the relative dockside value of fish and shellfish sold by value to obtain the final index:

fishing vessels. The table Indexes the average annual
exvessel value (price per pound) received for each

species or group to the average price per pound (100 x Current price X 1982 quantity) = Index
received for the same species or group in the base year 1982 Annual Value
1982.

The exvessel price for each year was obtained Each index number measures price changes
by dividing total value for each species or group by its from the 1982 reference period when the index equaled
total quantity as reported in the U. S. commercial 100. A species of fish that sold for $0.75 a pound in 1986
landings tables on pages 1 and 2. Theindex for each and a $1.00 a pound in 1982 would have an Index of 75
species or group was obtained by multiplying the current in 1986. In 1994, if the price of the same species
anual price by the total quantity caught in 1882 (the Increased to $1.07, the Index In 1994 would be 107.

82 THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION
AND MANAGEMENT ACT

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, Public Law 94-265 as amended
(Magnuson Act), provides for the conservation and
management of all fishery resources within the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It also provides for
fishery management authority over continental shelf
resources and anadromous species beyond the EEZ,
except when they are found within a foreign nation’s
territorlal sea or fishery conservation zone (or
equivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone Is
recognized by the United States.

The EEZ extends from the seaward boundary of
each of the coastal States (generally 3 nautical miles
from shore for all but two States) to 200 nautical miles
from shore. The seaward boundarles of Texas, Puerto
Rico, and the Gulf coast of Florida are 3 marine
leagues (9 nautical miles).

GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS

Under the Magnuson Act, the Secretary of
State, In cooperation with the Secretary of Commerce
negotiates Governing Intemational Fishery Agreements
(GIFAs) with forelgn nations wishing to fish within the
EEZ. After a GIFA Is signed. It Is transmitted by the
President to the Congress for ratification.

FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS

Title Il of the Magnuson Act governs foreign
fishing In the exclusive economic zone. The process
applied to foreign fishing has been described In prior
Issues of this publication. As U.S. fishing capacity grew.
forelgn participation In directed fisheries, as well as In
forelgn Joint ventures in which U.S. vessels delivered U.S.
harvested fish to permitted foreign vessels, in the EEZ
diminished until, In 1991, foreign vessels no longer were
permitted to conduct any harvesting or processing
operations in the EEZ. This marked the achievement of
one of the objectives of the Magnuson Act, that is, the

‘development of the U.S. industry to take, what were in
1976, the underutilized species and the displacement
of the foreign fishing effort In the EEZ in 1991.

As a result of the above, there has been no
total allowable level of foreign fishing since 1991 and.
although 55,000 mt of Atlantic mackerel still were
avallable for Joint venture fishing In 1994, no foreign
nations submitted fishing applications for permits to
conduct such operations. NMFS continues to maintain

all regulations pertaining to foreign fishing, such as the
foreign fishing fee schedule, should there be a situation
in the future In which allowing limited foreign fishing In
an underutilized fishery would be of advantage to the
U.S. fishing Industry.

FMPs and PMPs

Under the Magnuson Act, eight Regional
Fishery Management Councils are charged with
preparing Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the
fisheries needing management within their areas of
authority. After the Councils develop FMPs which
cover domestic and foreign fishing efforts, the FMPs are
submitted to the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary)
for approval and implementation. The Department,
through NMFS agents and the U.S. Coast Guard, is
responsible for enforcing the law and regulations.

The Secretary of Commerce is empowered to
prepare plans in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for
highly migratory species. Where no FMP exists,
Preliminary Fishery Management Plans (PMPs), which
only cover foreign fishing efforts, are prepared by the
Secretary for each fishery for which a foreign nation
requests a permit. The Secretary Is also empowered to
produce an FMP for any fishery that a Council has not
duly produced. In this latter case, the Secretary’s FMP
covers domestic and foreign fishing.

As of December 31, 1994, five Preliminary
Fishery Management Plans (PMPs) were in effect, many
of which have been amended since first being
implemented.

Foreign Trawi Fisheries of the Northwest
Atlantic

Hake Fisheries of the Northwestem
Atlantic

Bering Sea Herring

Bering Sea Snails

The Atlantic swordfish and Atlantic billfish fisheries are
currently being managed by the Secretary under the
Magnuson Act and the Western Atlantic bluefin tuna
fishery Is managed under the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act.

LIBRARY INFORMATION

The NOAA Library and Information Network Catalog
(NOAALINC) is a CD-ROM microcomputer-based library
catalog of more than one million books, technical reports,
serials and microforms. The collection strengths include
aquatic science, marine ecology, microbiology, oceanography,
meteorology, cimatology, chemistry, geology, remote sensing,
hazardous wastes, pesticides, toxicology, pollution, and law.

NOAALINC implements a keyword searching strategy
to locate information by author, title, subject, and call number.
Records can be displayed using several display formats; brief,
labeled, and full. Each bibliographic record indicates which
library holds the item. NOAA personnel may borrow items by
contacting the nearest NOAA Library or the NOAA

Central Library at (301) 713-2600 or NOAA LIBRARY
(OMNET). The general public should contact their local
library.

The NOAALINC is available to anyone, without
restriction, twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year.
No account is required. To access the system via a
personal computer and modem using ANSI emulation, dial
(301) 713-4544 or 1-(800)-352-7281. Press <enter> at
lease twice to establish a "handshake". At the "USER ID"
prompt, enter ANSI and follow instructions on screen. To
quit, use your software communications exit procedure.

The NOAALINC workstations are also available to
individuals who come into NOAA libraries and information
centers.

MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND
MANAGEMENT ACT, Public Law 94-265, as amended.
The Magnuson Act provides a national program for the
conservation and management of fisheries to allow for
an optimum yield (OY) on a continuing basis and to
realize the full potential of the Nation's fishery
resources, It established the U.S. Exclusive Economics
Zone (EEZ) (formerly the FCZ - Fishery Conservation
Zone) and a means to control foreign and certain
domestic fisheries through PMPs and FMPs. Within the
U.S. EEZ, the United States has exclusive management
authority over fish (meaning finfish, mollusks,
crustaceans, and all other forms of marine animal and
plant life other than marine mammals, birds, and highly
migratory species of tuna). The Magnuson Act provides
further exclusive management authority beyond the
U.S. EEZ for all continental shelf fishery resources and all
anadromous species throughout the migratory range of
each such species, except during the time they are
found within any foreign nation’s teritorial sea or fishery

109

conservation zone (or the equivalent), fo the extent
that such a sea or zone Is recognized by the United
States.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure,
amusement, relaxation, or home consumption.

MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish,
shellfish and other living aquatic organisms caught, but
not necessarily brought ashore, by marine recreational
fisherman.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN. Those people who
fish In marine waters primarily for recreational purposes,
Their catch Is primarily for home consumption, although
occasionally a part or all of thelr catch may be sold
and enter commercial channels. This definition Is used
In the NMFS Marine Recreational Fishery Statistics
Survey, and Is not intended to represent a NMFS policy
on the sale of angler-caught fish.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY). MSY from a fishery
is the largest annual catch or yield In terms of weight of
fish caught by both commercial and recreational
fishermen that can be taken continuously from a stock
under existing environmental conditions. A determi-
nation of MSY, which should be an estimate based
upon the best scientific information avallable, Is a
biological measure necessary in the development of
optimum yield.

METRIC TONS. A measure of weight equal fo 1,000
kilograms, 0.984 long tons, 1.1023 short tons, or 2,204.6
pounds.

officially documented by the Coast Guard. See “boat,
other."

NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES ORGANIZATION (NAFO).
This convention, which entered into force January 1,
1979, replaces ICNAF. NAFO provides a forum for
continued multilateral scientific research and
investigation of fishery resources that occur beyond the
limits of coastal nations’ fishery Jurisdiction In the
northwest Atlantic, and will ensure consistency
between NAFO management measures in this area
and those adopted by the coastal nations within the
limits of their fishery Jurisdiction.

OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the MFCMA (Magnuson Act),
OY with respect to the yield from a fishery, Is the
amount of fish that (1) will provide the greatest overall
benefit to the United States, with particular reference

110 GLOSSARY

to food production and recreational opportunities; and
(2) Is prescribed as such on the basis of maximum
sustainable yield from such fishery, as modified by any
relevant ecological, economic, or social factors.

PACKAGED FISH. A term used In NMFS publications
prior to 1972 to designate fresh or frozen raw fish fillets
and steaks.

PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An Individual who
recelves less than 50 percent of their annual income
from commercial fishing activities.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Consumption of edible
fishery products In the United States divided by the
total civillan 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, serles P-25, published by the U.S.
Bureau of the Census.

PER CAPITA USE. The use of all fishery products, both
edible and nonedible, in the United States divided by
the total population of the United States.

Secretary of Commerce prepares a PMP whenever a
forelgn nation with which the United States has made
a Goveming Intemational Fishery Agreement (GIFA)
submits an application fo fish In a fishery not managed
by an FMP. A PMP Is replaced by an FMP as soon as
the latter Is Implemented. A PMP applies only to
foreign fishing.

entered the U.S. as imports and are subsequently
exported In substantially the same condition as when
orginally imported.

RETAIL PRICE. The price of fish and shellfish sold to the
final consumer by food stores and other retail outlets.

ROUND (LIVE) WEIGHT. The weight of fish, shellfish, or
other aquatic plants Gnd animals as taken from the
water; the complete or full welght 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.

SURIMI. Minced fish meat (usually Alaska pollock)
which has been washed to remove fat and undesirable
matters (such as blood, pigments, and odorous
substances), and mixed with cryoprotectants, such as
sugar and/or sorbitol, for a good frozen shelf life.

TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING (TALFF).
The TALFF, if any, with respect fo any fishery subject to
the exclusive fishery management authority of the
United States, is that portion of the optimum yield of
such fishery which will not be harvested by vessels of
the United States, as determined by provisions of the
MFCMA.

U.S. EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ). The MFCMA
(Magnuson Act) defines this zone as contiguous to the
territorial sea of the United States and extending
seaward 200 nautical miles measured from the baseline
from which the territorial sea is measured. This was
formerly referred fo as the FCZ (Fishery Conservation
Zone).

U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by alll
U.S. fishing vessels regardless of where landed as
opposed to landings at ports in the 50 United States.
These include landings at foreign ports, U.S. territories,

agreements. U.S. law prohibits vessels constructed or
registered in foreign countries to land fish catches at
U.S. ports.

Federal Inspection Marks for Fishery Products

NATIONAL FISHERY PRODUCTS INSPECTION PROGRAM. The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC), National Marine Fisheries
Service, a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, conducts a voluntary seafood inspection program on a fee-for-
service basis. A HACCP-based service is also available. Services provided by the program include vessel and plant sanitation, product
inspection and grading, label reviews, product specification reviews, laboratory analyses, training, education and information. Inspection
and certification services are available nationwide and in U.S. territories for all interested parties. Consultative services are provided in
foreign countries. Inspection and certification services are also provided for imported and exported products.

USERS OF INSPECTION SERVICES. The users of the voluntary seafood inspection service include vessel owners, processors,
distributors, brokers, retailers, food service operators, exporters, importers, and those who have a financial interest in buying and selling
seafood products. The military requires USDC inspected products be purchased for its troop feeding program. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture also recommends that USDC inspected products be purchased for its food feeding programs. The USDC APPROVED LIST
OF FISH ESTABLISHMENTS AND PRODUCTS, published bi-annually, provides a listing of products and participants who contract with
USDC.

USDC INSPECTION MARKS. The official marks authorized for use on products in the USDC inspection program are available from any
of the inspection offices. These marks designate the level and the type of inspection performed by the federal inspector. The marks can
be used in advertising and labeling under the guidelines provided by the Inspection Services Division and in accordance with federal
and state regulations regarding advertising and labeling. Products bearing the USDC official marks have beencertified as being safe,
wholesome, and properly labeled.

"US GRADE A” MARK. The U.S. GRADE A mark signifies that a product has been processed under federal inspection in an approved
facility and meets the established level of quality of an existing U.S. grade standard. The U.S. Grade A mark indicates that the product is
of high quality, uniform in size, practically free from blemishes and defects, in excellent condition and possessing good flavor and odor.

"PROCESSED UNDER FEDERAL INSPECTION" MARK. The PUFI mark or statement signifies that the product has been inspected
in an approved facility and was found to be safe, wholesome and properly labeled according to approved specifications or criteria. The
language within the PUFI mark has been amended to “Processed Under Federal Inspection” to reflect actual inspection procedures and
the regulatory requirements for use of the mark.

“LOT INSPECTED” MARKS. Products inspected on a lot inspection basis, whether in an approved facility or in a warehouse, cold storage
facility or dock, by a federal inspector, can bear an official lot inspection mark. The OFFICIALLY SAMPLED mark signifies that the products
were officially sampled for wholesomeness, condition and other factors as requested. Additionally, the ACCEPTED PER SPECIFICATIONS
mark identifies products which were officially sampled and inspected to conform to approved specifications or criteria. To reduce the
confusion about the meaning of these marks, as well as, the use of private label logos, a new Lot Inspected mark was created to replace
the existing “Officially Sampled” and “Accepted Per Specifications” marks currently used on retail labels. The use of this mark will meet
the needs of both industry and consumers by coveying that the products bearing this mark have been examined by the Federal NMFS
Program.

“RETAIL” MARK. \n response to requests made by industry, a new mark has been created for retail or food service establishments.
Participants qualify for use of the “Retail Mark” by receiving the NMFS HACCP-based service or being under contract for sanitation
services and associated product evaluation. Usage of such a mark will give the retail industry the opportunity to advertise on their banners,
logos, or menus that their facility has been recognized by NMFS for proper sanitation and handling of fishery products.

USDC HACCP-BASED SERVICE The USDC HACCP-based service is available to all interested parties on a fee-for-service basis. Label
approval, record keeping and analytical testing are program requirements. An industry NMFS certified employee trained in HACCP
principles is also required tor each tacility/site in the program. Compliance ratings determine frequency of official visits. Costs are
consistent with current program rates. Benefits to participants include increased controls through a more scientific approach, use of
established marks, increased efficiency of federal inspection personnel, and enhanced consumer confidence. NMFS has made available
a HACCP mark or “banner” to be used as an attachment to existing inspection and grade marks to distinguish that the product was
produced under the HACCP-based program.
