Frank, Administrator National Marine Fisheries Service Terry L. Leitzell, Assistant Administrator for Fisheries PREFACE FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES This is a preliminary report for 1978 on commercial and marine recreational fisheries of the United States- and the foreign catches in the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ). This annual report provides timely answers to frequently asked questions for the previous year. All data in this publication are consistent with the provisions of the Federal Reports Act of 1942. PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA Data on U.S. commercial landings are preliminary for 1976, 1977, and 1978. All data on foreign catches are preliminary. Data on U.S. cold storage holdings, employment, prices, and production of processed products are preliminary for 1978. Final data on these subjects will be published in annual summaries (see section on publications, p. 96 ) and later in the Fishery Statistics of the United States. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING A section of this publication shows selected data from the 1970 Salt- Water Angling Survey and from other reports. SOURCES OF DATA Information in this report came from many sources. Regional offices of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), in cooperation with various States, compiled and collected data on U.S. commercial landings and processed fishery products. NMFS Regional Offices compiled data on the foreign catch from reports by designated foreign officials. The NMFS Washington, D.C., office of the Resource Statistics Division tabulated and prepared the 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 Defense, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. General Services Administration, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, and the countries fishing in the U.S. FCZ. Citations of notices in the Federal Register (FR) are abbreviated with the volume number followed by the first page of the notice, as follows: 42 FR 12386. Distribution of the Federal Register is made only by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE As in past issues of this report, the units of quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S. landings and foreign catch are shown in round weight (mollusk shells excluded) 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 catch is exvessel (see Glossary); 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.

Total catches from all areas by U.S. commercial fishermen and catches by foreign fishermen in the U.S. FCZ reached 4.6 million metric tons (10.0 billion pounds) in 1978, up 11 percent compared with 1977. This total excludes the weight of mollusk shells and estimated catches by recreational fishermen. The increase in the catch was due to a moderate increase in U.S. landings and a slight increase in the foreign catch. All of the foreign catch (exclusive of tunas) of 1,754,000 metric tons in 1978 was caught in the U.S. FCZ. The U.S. catch (exclusive of tunas) in this zone was 641,000 metric tons in 1978, down 7 percent from 1977. The U.S. catch declined mainly because of a drop in catches in the U.S. FCZ of anchovy, a species used in making fish meal. If this species is excluded, U.S. catches in the U.S. FCZ would be 653,000 metric tons in 1978, up 8 percent compared with 1977. U.S. COMMERCIAL LANDINGS. Commercial landings from freshwater and marine fisheries by domestic fishermen at ports in the United States were a record 6.1 billion pounds (round weight) valued at a record $1.9 billion in 1978. The quantity landed in 1978 was 16 percent more than in 1977, and the value was 22 percent more. The reason for the increase in quantity was a sharp increase in landings of menhaden for fish meal and other industrial- purposes from territorial waters. This upsurge in U.S. landings together with a reported downturn in Norwegian landings probably will put the United States ahead of Norway in world landings in 1978, and into fourth place behind Japan, the U.S.S.R., and mainland China. Commercial landings of edible species in the United States were 3.2 billion pounds valued at a record $1.7 billion in 1978, up 10 percent in quantity and 23 percent in value from 1977. The quantity of edible fish and shellfish landed was the largest since 1951. The principal reason for the increase was higher landings of tuna, salmon, cod and other groundfish, crabs, and oysters. Landings of shrimp and clams declined. Commercial landings at U.S. ports of fish used for reduction to meal and for other industrial purposes were a record 2.9 billion pounds valued at a record $121 million in 1978, up 24 percent in quantity and 9 percent in value compared with 1977. The increase was attributed entirely to record landings of menhaden, which more than offset sharply lower landings of anchovy. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. In 1978 the foreign catch of fish (excluding tunas) and shellfish in the U.S. FCZ was 1,754,000 metric tons, up 3 percent from 1977, but several hundred thousand tons short of final allocations. The U.S. FCZ off Alaska was by far the most important, accounting for 91 percent of the total. The U.S. FCZ off Washington, Oregon, and California accounted for 6 percent, and the Atlantic FCZ for 3 percent. About 97 percent of the 1978 foreign catch was finfish; snow (tanner) crabs and various species of squids and snails made up the remainder. Alaska pollock was by far the most important fish species, accounting for 62 percent of the total catch. MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. The most recent data available are for 1970. In that year, U.S. marine recreational fishermen caught an estimate of 1.6 billion pounds of marine (saltwater) finfish, or about the same as the average amount of edible finfish landed by commercial fishermen in recent years. WORLD LANDINGS. In 1977, the most recent year for which data are available, world landings were 73.5 million metric tons (162 billion pounds), down 2 percent compared with the record 74.7 billion pounds reported for 1976. Japan was the leading nation with 15 percent of the total. The U.S.S.R. was second with 13 percent; mainland China was third with 9 percent; Norway, fourth with 5 percent; and the United States, fifth with 4 percent. PRICES. In 1978, U.S. exvessel prices (prices received by fishermen and vessel owners for their landings) for almost all species moved upward. The index (1967=100) for edible fish stood at 384.4 for 1978, up 12 percent from 1977. Among the exceptions to this upward trend were the exvessel prices for haddock, chum salmon, and hard blue crabs, all of which declined. The index for industrial fish was 293.6 for 1978, up less than 1 percent compared with 1977. PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The value of domestic production of processed fishery products was $4.6 billion in 1978, 20 percent above 1977. The value of edible products increased to $4.2 billion, up 19 percent from 1977. The value of all categories of edible products increased, including fresh and frozen, canned, and cured. The value of industrial products was $481 million in 1978, up 29 percent compared with 1977. Increases in the value of both bait and canned animal food and fish meal, oil, and solubles more than offset a decrease in the value of "other" industrial products. FOREIGN TRADE. The total value of U.S. imports of edible and nonedible fishery products was a record $3.1 billion in 1978, up 18 percent from 1977. Both edible and nonedible imports of fishery products increased. Edible imports were 2.4 billion pounds valued at $2.3 billion in 1978, up 11 percent in quantity and 9 percent in value compared with 1977. Nonedible imports were a record $824.6 million in 1978, up 52 percent from 1977. Total U.S. domestic exports of edible and nonedible fishery products were $905.5 million in 1978, up 74 percent from 1977. Exports of both edible and nonedible products increased. Exports of edible products were 448.3 million pounds valued at $831.7 million in 1978, up 35 percent in quantity and 76 percent in value over a year earlier. Exports of nonedible products were $73.9 million in 1978, up 57 percent compared with 1977. SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of commercial fishery products (domestic landings plus imports, round-weight equivalent) was 11.5 billion pounds in 1978, an increase of 9 percent compared with 1977. Because of near- record domestic landings of edible fish and shellfish together with record imports, the supply of edible products was a record 8.1 billion pounds. The supply of industrial products was 3.4 billion pounds, up 7 percent from 1977. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. In 1978, U.S. per capita consumption of fishery products was a record 13.4 pounds of edible meat per person, up from 12.8 pounds in 1977.

DOMESTIC LANDINGS Menhaden landings of 2,595 million pounds (1,177 metric tons) made up 43 percent of the commercial landings in the United States. Crabs were the second most important species in quantity and value. Shrimp was the most important species in value and third in quantity. Salmon was the third most important species in terms of value and fourth in quantity. Tuna landings of 156.8 million pounds in Puerto Rico and other foreign ports comprised 93 percent of all landings made by U.S. craft at ports outside the United States. Landings of shrimp by U.S. fishing vessels at Central and South American ports accounted for the rest. Cameron, Louisiana, led all other U.S. ports in quantity of commercial fishery landings. The second most important port in terms of quantity was Pascagoula-Moss Point, Mississippi, followed by San Pedro, California; Dulac-Chauvin, Louisiana; and Empire-Venice, Louisiana. The principal species landed was menhaden at all ports except San Pedro where tuna was the principal species. Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was the leading U.S. port in terms of value, followed by Kodiak, Alaska; San Pedro, California; San Diego, California; and New Bedford, Massachusetts. Louisiana led all States in volume of landings with 1,673.9 million pounds, followed by Alaska with 745.6 million pounds; California, 722.3 million pounds; Virginia, 538.9 million pounds; and Mississippi, 377.5 million pounds. Alaska led all States in value of landings with $438.6 million, followed by California with $228.2 million; Louisiana, $190.2 million; Massachusetts, $152.3 million; and Texas, $148.9 million. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ Final 1978 fishing allocations to foreign nations in the U.S. FCZ were 2,084,371 metric tons, an increase of less than one-half of 1 percent (9,525 tons) compared with 1977. A sharp drop in the 1978 North Atlantic allocations and a small decline in the Washington, Oregon, and California allocations were offset by increases in 1978 allocations for foreign fishing in the Alaska FCZ. In 1979, however, total initial allocations are lower than in 1978, chiefly because of a 135,000-ton "reserve" in the Gulf of Alaska and a 42,000-ton "reserve" in the Washington, Oregon, and California area for joint ventures between U.S. fishing vessels and foreign factory ships. In 1.977 the United States collected in advance $10.2 million in poundage fees from foreign nations based on initial allocations. At the end of 1977, the United States refunded $3.0 million, because foreign nations were unable to catch all that had been allocated to them. In 1978, the United States collected in advance $11.8 million in poundage fees from foreign nations. Refunds of 1978 payments for catches that were short of allocations have not been completed. In 1978, foreign nations had permits for 692 catching vessels, down 7 vessels or 1 percent from 1977. The number of processing vessels dropped from 21 in 1977 to 10 in 1978. VI REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES ALASKA POLLOCK AND OTHER ALASKA TRAWL FISH. Landings in 1978 by U.S. fishermen at Alaska ports of Alaska pollock and other trawl fish (cod, flounders, and rockfishes) were 5.5 million pounds valued at $729,000, up 98 percent in quantity and 115 percent in value from 1977. All were caught in the Gulf of Alaska. Landings of Alaska pollock of 2.6 million pounds in 1978 were five times the 1977 landings. Landings of cod in 1978 of 1.5 million pounds were slightly over double those of 1977. The total foreign catch of trawl fish in the Alaska FCZ was 1.5 million metric tons (3.4 billion pounds) in 1978, up 16 percent from 1977. This total was considerably under the 1978 allocations of almost 1.8 million metric tons. About 90 percent of the catch came from the Bering Sea; the rest was caught in the Gulf of Alaska. The principal species in the foreign trawl catch were Atka mackerel, Alaska pollock, Pacific cod, yellowfin sole and other flounders, ocean perch and other rockfishes, and miscellaneous groundfish. Of these species, Alaska pollock was by far the most important. In 1978, the foreign catch of Alaska pollock was 1.1 million metric tons, up 64,000 tons or 6 percent from 1977. Catches of other trawl fish except rockfishes increased. Catches of flounders were 250,000 metric tons in 1978, up 78 percent from 1977. The catch of cod of 58,000 tons was 49 percent greater. The catch of Atka mackerel of 44,000 tons was up 125 percent. The catch of Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes was 18,000 metric tons, down 45 percent compared with 1977. NORTH ATLANTIC GROUNDFISH, FLOUNDERS, AND OTHER TRAWL FISH. Total U.S. trawl landings of the principal North Atlantic groundfish species were 374.4 million pounds valued at $109.1 million in 1978, up 12 percent in quantity and" 26 percent in value from 1977. The principal trawl species are cod, cusk, flounders, haddock, red and white hake, Atlantic ocean perch, pollock, and whiting. Total annual landings of these species have risen steadily since reaching a low of 264.0 million pounds in 1974. Domestic landings of cod were 86.5 million pounds in 1978, up 15 percent from 1977, and the largest since 1946. Domestic landings of haddock were 39.5 million pounds, up 39 percent from 1977, and the highest since 1969. Atlantic pollock landings were 39.1 million pounds in 1978, up 36 percent over 1977. Atlantic pollock landings in 1978 were the second highest on record, and were exceeded only by landings in 1938 of 40.3 million pounds. Flounder landings of 103.6 million pounds in 1978 were about the same as in 1977 because of a large increase in landings of "other flounders" which offset declines in landings of the principal flounders— blackback, fluke, and yellowtail. Landings of whiting were 51.1 million pounds in 1978, up 13 percent from 1977, and the largest since 1968. The U.S. fishery for cod, haddock, and yellowtail flounder has been under an FMP since March 1977. Emergency actions in response to a rapid influx of vessels into the fishery and strong market demand for catches characterized the management of this FMP. The emergency regulations of July 19, 1978, were designed to limit landings through a combination of quarterly (3-month) quotas, annual allocations by vessel size, and other restrictions. Despite these limits, several annual allocations were reached in less than a year. As a result, the New England Fisheries Management Council advanced the beginning of the 1979 fishing season from January 1, 1979, to October 1, 1978, but again several vessel class quotas were exceeded, and these fisheries were shut down before the end of the quarter. The fishery was reopened at the beginning of the second quarter, January 1, 1979. Canadian catches of groundfish, flounders, and other trawl fish in the U.S. FCZ were 58.0 million pounds in 1978, up 92 percent over 1977. Heavier Canadian catches of cod and haddock accounted for most of the increase. Canadian fishing vessels are the only foreign vessels allowed to fish for these species. Total trawl catches of other foreign countries were only 21,500 metric tons (47.4 million pounds), down from 123,000 tons in 1977, and far short of the final allocations for 1978 of 130,300 metric tons. Catches by other foreign countries dropped for red hake and silver hake (whiting); species for which there was a directed fishery. Incidental catches of butterfish, mackerel, and river herring were small. The catch of silver hake (whiting) was 14,400 tons in 1978, down 74 percent from 1977. The catch of red hake was 2,100 tons in 1978, down 59 percent compared with 1977. PACIFIC GROUNDFISH, FLOUNDERS, AND OTHER TRAWL FISH. Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen in Washington, Oregon, and California of groundfish, flounders, and other trawl fish were 212.2 million pounds valued at $32.8 million in 1978, down 41 percent in quantity, but up 31 percent in value. Included in these data are landings of Alaska pollock, cod, flounders, Pacific hake, Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes, and jack mackerel. The principal reason for the decline in quantity was a sharp reduction in the catch of jack mackerel from 110.2 million pounds in 1977 to 68.0 million pounds in 1978. Catches were up markedly for Pacific hake, Alaska pollock, and flounders. The total foreign trawl catch off Washington, - Oregon, and California was 98,700 metric tons (217.6 million pounds) in 1978, down 19 percent compared with 1977. This fishery is under a PMP that only allows a directed fishery for Pacific hake and jack mackerel. Catches of Pacific hake were 96,800 metric tons in 1978, down 18 percent compared with 1977; catches of jack mackerel were 900 metric tons in 1978, down 68 percent compared with 1977. The incidental catch of flounders, rockfishes, sablefish, and other species dropped to 1,000 metric tons in 1978 compared with 1,400 metric tons in 1977. ANCHOVY. Total U.S. landings of anchovy were 35.4 million pounds, down 85 percent in 1978. Of this amount, 22.3 million pounds (63 percent) was reduced to meal, oil, and solubles. Another 12.0 million pounds (34 percent) were sold as live bait. The remaining 1.1 million pounds were used in canned pet food. Most of the anchovies landed were caught in purse seines, although small amounts for the reduction fishery were landed with lampara nets. In 1978, the exvessel value of anchovies sold as bait was $5.0 million. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES The significant decline in landings is attributable partly to a price dispute in the early part of the year, which kept the boats tied up until April. Additionally, a lack of legal-sized fish in the fall forced fishermen to direct their effort toward other species, such as mackerel and squid. HALIBUT. U.S. landings of halibut were 17.7 million pounds (round weight) valued at $18.5 million, slightly less (11,000 pounds) in volume, but $1.2 million more in value compared with 1977. The Atlantic fishery accounted for 204,000 pounds valued at $289,000 in 1978. The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) reported the abundance of halibut, as indicated by the catch per unit of effort, increased again in Area 3 where the quota was set at 11 million pounds (dressed weight) in 1978. However, abundance was nearly the same as in 1977 in Area 2 (quota, 9 million pounds) where an increase in southeastern Alaska waters was offset by a decrease in British Columbia waters. The evidence of stock improvement is encouraging, but abundance is still far below the optimum level. HERRING, SEA. U.S. commercial landings of sea herring were 154.4 million pounds valued at $17.2 million. Compared with 1977, this was 1.4 million pounds less in quantity, but worth $5.6 million more in value. Landings of Atlantic sea herring were 111.3 million pounds. Despite heavy catches in the summer months, the Atlantic fishery declined 302,000 pounds from 1977 because of a late start in the juvenile fishery and the complete lack of juvenile herring in the Casco Bay area of Maine. This area supplies large numbers of juveniles to the sardine plants in the western part of the State. Low abundance of Atlantic sea herring in 1977 resulted in a zero TALFF in 1978 for foreign fishing under the sea herring PMP. The PMP was replaced by an FMP on December 20, 1978. Under the FMP, the New England Fishery Management Council determined that the expected domestic catch for 1978 would equal the optimum yield. Accordingly, a quota was established at 18,000 metric tons (39.7 million pounds), and the TALFF was set at zero for the fishing year beginning July 1, 1978, and ending June 30, 1979. The quota-applies to mature herring only. Landings of Pacific sea herring decreased from 44.2 million pounds in 1977 to 43.1 million pounds in 1978, but the average exvessel price increased from 15 cents per pound in 1977 to 24 cents in 1978. In the Pacific, the foreign catch of sea herring was 8,434 metric tons in 1978, down sharply from the catch of 18,736 tons in 1977. The decline was the result of a sharp reduction in the TALFF for the Bering Sea, the only Pacific region where foreign fishing for this species is permitted. The U.S.S.R. took 72 percent of the catch, and Japan caught the rest. MACKEREL, ATLANTIC. Landings of Atlantic mackerel were 3.6 million pounds with an exvessel value of $776,000, an increase of 555,000 pounds and $251,000 compared with 1977. The foreign catch of Atlantic mackerel in the U.S. FCZ was 330 thousand metric tons (726.6 million pounds) in 1978, up from 53 thousand metric tons (117.1 million pounds) in 1977. MENHADEN. Atlantic and Gulf menhaden landings were a record 2,595.0 million pounds valued at a record $98.3 million. This was 798.9 million pounds more than 1977, and 247.1 million pounds more than 1962, the previous record year. Ninety-eight percent of the landings were reduced into meal, oil, and solubles. The rest was used for bait or canned for pet food. Louisiana was the principal State using menhaden for reduction, followed by Virginia, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1,808.5 million pounds— 83 percent more than in 1977 when 986.5 million pounds were landed. Gulf Coast landings in June were the largest on record (545.1 million pounds). Eighty vessels participated in the fishing in 1978; a few of these were inactive for short periods, and tropical storms reduced fishing for parts of several weeks at most ports. Age-2 menhaden dominated the catch (60-75 percent) in 1978, but in 1977, age-1 fish accounted for most of the catch. Age-1 fish were most of the balance in 1978, but a few age-3 menhaden were landed. Landings in the western ports, especially at Cameron, La., contained a higher portion of age-1 fish than in the central Gulf ports. Eastern Gulf ports also contained a higher proportion of age-1 fish in 1978; age-2 menhaden contributed substantially to the excellent fishing in this area. Landings along the Atlantic Coast were 786.5 million pounds worth $20.2 million— declines of 23.2 million pounds and $8.7 million when compared with 1977. Ninety-three percent of the Atlantic Coast catch was used by plants processing menhaden into meal and oil. Monthly landings of Atlantic menhaden . indicated that April and May were poor, June fair, and July were below the previous month and similiar to the 1977 landings. Fishing recovered in August and almost duplicated the 1977 pattern. Forty-seven vessels participated in fishing in 1978 compared to 51 the previous year. Age-1 (17 percent) and age-2 fish (68 percent) have dominated landings in recent years, but age-3 fish (14 percent) are contributing substantial amounts in some areas. Age-2 fish were most of the landings in the Chesapeake Bay area, and the rest were age-1 fish. There is no foreign fishing for menhaden under the provisions of the FCMA. PACIFIC SALMONS. U.S. commercial landings of Pacific salmons were 404.5 million pounds valued at a record $254.5 million, an increase of 68.8 million pounds (20 percent) and $32.7 million (14 percent). Excellent runs of pink salmon in Alaska were the major reason for the increased landings. Alaska had 86 percent of the total landings; Washington, 9 percent; Oregon, 3 percent; and California, 2 percent. A small amount (1,000 pounds) of silver salmon was landed in the Great Lakes. Landings in Alaska were 349.3 million pounds, up 27 percent (74.0 million pounds) compared with 1977, and the largest since 1940. Pink salmon landings (194.9 million pounds) were the second largest on record, only 837,000 pounds less than 1918, the record year. Red salmon landings (89.7 million pounds) increased 13 percent, and chinook salmon landings (12.8 million pounds) increased 16 percent. Lighter landings were recorded for chum salmon (37.3 million pounds), down 33 percent; and silver salmon (14.7 million pounds), down 10 percent compared with 1977. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES Landings of salmon in Washington were 38.1 million pounds valued at $58.5 million. Compared with 1977, landings were down for all species except chum salmon. Landings of chum salmon were 13.2 million pounds, up 11.3 million pounds compared with 1977. Salmon landings in Oregon were 10.5 million pounds valued at $15.0 million, a decline of 14 percent in volume and 22 percent in value compared with 1977. Chinook salmon landings (4.3 million pounds) declined almost 50 percent, and larger landings of silver salmon (6.2 million pounds) were not enough to offset the lower Chinook catch. California landings of salmon increased from 4.5 million pounds in 1977 to 6.6 million pounds in 1978. California landings were higher from the troll fleet in 1978, because the northern Oregon and Washington waters were closed to trolling in the spring and early summer season to meet fish allocation demands imposed by court decisions. Thus, troll ers that would normally have fished those waters and whose landings would have been recorded in Washington were forced southward to compete with California and southern Oregon boats. SABLEFISH. U.S. commercial landings of sablefish were a record 29.2 million pounds valued at $8.3 million. This was 3.8 million pounds (15 percent) above 1977, the previous record year, and 11.2 million pounds above the 1973-77 average. California landings were 19.0 million pounds (down 5 percent); Alaska, 4.8 million (up 92 percent); Oregon, 2.8 million (up 275 percent); and Washington, 2.6 million pounds (up 23 percent). Expanded effort in the Gulf of Alaska resulted in increased catches. Of the 14.7 thousand metric tons of sablefish allocated to foreign nations in 1978, 9.2 thousand metric tons (20.2 million pounds) were caught, down 56 percent from 1977. Japan took 90 percent of the catch, and the Republic of Korea took 8 percent. TUNAS. Total landings of tunas by U.S. fishermen at ports in the United States, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa were 565.7 million pounds valued at $239.0 million in 1978, up 21 percent in quantity and 32 percent in value over 1977. The quantity landed in 1978 was slightly above the average for the previous 5 years, but below the record 659.9 million pounds landed in 1976. The principal reason for the increase in total landings in 1978 was a sharp rise in landings of skipjack to a record 243.4 million pounds— almost double the 1977 catch, and far above the average for the previous 5 years of 149.6 million pounds. Xellowfin—iuna landings were 267.9 million pounds in 1978, down 6 percent from T977. Inadvertent kills of porpoises by tuna fishermen while seining for yellowfin were estimated at 15,000 in 1978, down sharply from the 27,000 figure reported for 1977, and far below the 1978 quota allowed by NMFS of 51,945. Albacore landings were 37.3 million pounds in 1978, up 18 percent over 1977. Bluefin landings were 14.2 million pounds in 1978, down 18 percent compared with 1977. Slightly more than 70 percent of tuna landings were made at ports in the continental United States, principally California. Most of the rest were landed in Puerto Rico. Landings in Puerto Rico were 147.4 million pounds in 1978, up 19 percent over 1977. NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard closely regulate fishing for yellowfin tuna by U.S. fishermen in a major producing area of the eastern Pacific Ocean known as the Commission's Yellowfin Regulatory Area (CYRA). The regulation is in response to recommendations of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). The total yellowfin quota in the CYRA for member nations in 1978 was 210,000 short tons. In 1978, the season for fishing yellowfin within the CYRA opened on January 1 and closed on May 6. Shown below are preliminary data of the yellowfin catch by the international tuna fleet taken in the CYRA. The U.S. share decreased from 59 percent of the 1977 catch to 57 percent of the 1978 catch.

Mexico withdrew from IATTC, effective November 1978. Withdrawal of Costa Rica will be effective in April 1979. Negotiations are underway for a new treaty to manage tunas in the eastern Pacific Ocean. In response to recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT), NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard closely control fishing of bluefin tuna by U.S. anglers and commercial fishermen in the Atlantic Ocean. Regulations are designed to protect undersized fish (under 14 pounds) and the prime spawning size fish (115-299 pounds). The catch of other sizes is restricted to amounts taken in recent years. Commercial fishing for yellowfin tuna of less than 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms) is prohibited. Landings of bluefin by commercial fishermen at New England and other Atlantic Coast ports were 3.3 million pounds valued at $2.6 million in 1978, down 15 percent in quantity, but up 36 percent in value compared with 1977. Under the FCMA, foreign nations are not required to report catches of tunas to the U.S. Government. It is believed that foreign vessels. catch tuna in several areas of the U.S. FCZ, but estimates for recent years only are available for the Gulf of Mexico FCZ. Japanese catches of bluefin tuna in the U.S. FCZ from Key West, Florida, to Brownsville, Texas, are estimated to be as follows: 1976—2,915 metric tons; 1977—2,626 metric tons; and 1978—2,331 metric tons. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES CLAMS. Landings of hard, ocean quahog, soft, surf, and other clams were 87.7 million pounds of meats worth $74.1 million. Compared with 1977, landings decreased 9 percent in volume, but were about the same in value. The average exvessel price per pound increased from 77 cents in 1977 to 84 cents in 1978. Surf clam landings were 39.2 million pounds of meats, down 23 percent from 1977 landings of 51.0 million pounds. This was the first full year this fishery operated under the FMP for surf clams and ocean quahogs prepared by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council. The FMP included quarterly quotas, effort restrictions, closed areas, and a moratorium on entry of vessels into the fishery. New Jersey landings (15.2 million pounds) decreased 34 percent, Virginia landings (12.8 million pounds) decreased 19 percent, and Maryland landings (8.4 million pounds) were about the same compared with 1977. The ocean quahog fishery produced 23.0 million pounds of meats, up 22 percent from 1977 landings. With reduced quotas on surf clams, more vessels turned to this fishery as an alternative to the market previously served by surf clams. New Jersey was the leading producer in the United States, accounting for 75 percent of the total landings. Maryland was second with 12 percent of the total, followed by Rhode Island, almost 12 percent, and Massachusetts, 1 percent. Landings from the hard clam fishery produced 13.3 million pounds of meats valued at $29.7 million, a decrease of 2.1 million pounds, but an increase of $1.5 million compared with 1977. Landings in the Middle Atlantic region (mostly New York) were 8.1 million pounds; New England, 2.9 million pounds; South Atlantic, 1.2 million pounds; Pacific, 606,000 pounds; and the Chesapeake region, 518,000 pounds. Landings of soft clams yielded 10.1 million pounds of meats, about the same as the 1977 landings of 10.7 million pounds. Maine landings were 6.0 million pounds, down 23 percent from the 7.8 million pounds landed in 1977. Landings in Maryland (3.4 million pounds) increased 1.8 million pounds compared with 1977. CRABS. Landings of all species of crabs were a record 449.1 million pounds valued at a record $285.0 million. This was an increase of 50.6 million pounds and $82.5 million compared with 1977, the previous record year. Landings for all species increased except dungeness crabs. Landings of hard blue crabs were 138.2 million pounds valued at $28.2 million. Compared with 1977, this was an increase of 7 percent in quantity and 2 percent in value. Production increased 52 percent over 1977 in the South Atlantic States (47.1 million pounds), but decreased 8 percent in the Chesapeake States States (52.0 million pounds). The spring and early summer catches were disappointing because of a severe winter kill. Production in the Gulf States (37.9 million pounds) decreased 6 percent. In early October, Louisiana health officials traced several cases of cholera to crabs landed in their State. Although crabbing was not banned in Louisiana, sales were down, and health officials cautioned consumers to use proper cooking and hygiene procedures for crabs. Dungeness crab landings were 39.3 million pounds worth $28.5 million, a decrease of 21.1 million pounds compared with the 1977 record landings, but were 10.7 million pounds above the previous 5-year average. Compared with 1977, the exvessel value increased $2.7 million or an average 30 cents per pound. Landings in California were down 54 percent; Washington, down 41 percent; and Oregon, down 39 percent. Landings were down in Washington and Oregon despite strong fishing effort in the first half of the season. Many fishermen left the fishery for other fisheries and did not return. Because of higher prices, the fishermen who stayed had a profitable year. Landings in Alaska increased 6.2 million pounds but were not enough to offset decreases in the other Pacific Coast States. The Alaska increase was attributed to greater fishing effort because of higher prices. U.S. landings in 1978 of king crabs were 130.2 million pounds valued at $168.1 million to the fishermen. This was the second largest harvest in the history of this fishery, surpassed only by the 1965 landings of 159.2 million pounds. Landings from the Bering Sea were 113.3 million pounds with 91 million pounds landed at Dutch Harbor. Because exvessel prices reached an all-time high of $1.70 per pound at the port of Kodiak, much Bering Sea king crab was landed there. Snow (tanner) crab landings were a record 129.5 million pounds valued at $52.6 million, an increase of 32 percent in volume and 70 percent in value. The fishery of the Bering Sea continued to expand in 1978 with 119 vessels taking a record 71 million pounds, primarily Chionoecetes bairdi. In 1978, U.S. processors made their first attempt to harvest and process the smaller C. opilio species of snow (tanner) crab. Over 1 million pounds were landed with an exvessel price of 30 cents per pound. Landings from the Gulf of Alaska were 58.5 million pounds with an exvessel value of 38 cents per pound compared with 45.2 million pounds landed in 1977 with a value of 35 cents per pound. Foreign catches of snow (tanner) crab in the U.S. FCZ were 14,962 metric tons (33.0 million pounds) in 1978, up 20 percent over 1977, but still within the 1978 quota of 15,000 tons. Japan was the only foreign nation fishing in the zone, and all of the catch came from north of 58° N. Almost all of the catch was Chionoecetes opilio, the smaller and less valuable snow (tanner) crab. In 1979, the quota remained the same. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES LOBSTER, AMERICAN. Landings of American lobsters were 34.4 million pounds valued at a record $64.6 million, an increase of 2.7 million pounds in volume and $6.9 million in value compared with 1977. The average price per pound increased from $1.82 in 1977 to $1.88 in 1978. Compared with 1977, Maine landings (19.1 million pounds) increased 3 percent, and Massachusetts landings (9.8 million pounds) increased 33 percent. Rhode Island landings (2.8 million pounds) were down 20 percent from 1977. The Northeast Marine Fisheries Board adopted a comprehensive plan to manage this fishery. Members of the Board (fishery administrators from 10 coastal States and NMFS) must endorse the plan before it takes effect. The plan calls for an increase in the legal minimum size that may be taken and the development of long-range programs designed to reduce current high levels of lobster fishing effort and excessive rates of exploitation of the resource. LOBSTER, SPINY. U.S. landings of spiny lobsters were 4.6 million pounds valued at $9.7 million, a decrease of 854,000 pounds in volume but an increase of $102,000 compared with 1977. The 1978 landings were 57 percent below the average for the previous 5 years. The average exvessel price per pound in 1978 was $2.10 compared with $1.75 in 1977. Florida landings were 99 percent of the total landings, and Hawaii, 1 percent. OYSTERS. Total U.S. landings yielded 51.0 million pounds of meats valued at $60.9 million, an increase of 5.0 million pounds and $8.4 million compared with 1977. The harvest increased in all regions compared with 1977. The Chesapeake States led in production with 21.5 million pounds of meats, followed by the Gulf States with 18.2 million pounds. The fishery in Maryland and Virginia fared well, because scientists reported the best spat set since 1965 on natural oyster bars along the Eastern Shore. Gulf Coast landings (18.2 million pounds) increased slightly compared with 1977 (18.1 million pounds). The harvest in Louisiana was down about 1 million pounds, because the oysters were extremely small possibly caused by pollution or improper salt balance in the water. Pacific Coast landings were 5.8 million pounds of meats, an increase of 4 percent over 1977. SCALLOPS. U.S. landings of all species yielded a record 33.3 million pounds of meats worth $81.8 million. This was an increase of 20 percent in volume and 78 percent in value compared with 1977. Canadian catches of Atlantic sea scallops in the U.S. FCZ were 12,123 metric tons of meats (26.7 million pounds) in 1978, up 3 percent over 1977. U.S. bay scallop landings yielded 1.4 million pounds valued at $4.2 million, a decrease of 332,000 pounds and $260,000 compared with 1977. Landings in Massachusetts, the leading producing State, were down 33 percent in 1978. Landings of calico scallops were 948,000 pounds of meat valued at $1.3 million in 1978. Compared with 1977, this was a decrease of 163,000 pounds (15 percent), but an increase of $275,000 (27 percent) in value. Early in the year a new scallop bed was discovered off the South Carolina-Georgia coast, and most of the landings (698,000 pounds) were made in the two States. SHRIMP. U.S. shrimp landings were 422.9 million pounds (heads on) valued at $385.5 million. Compared with the 1977 record year, this was 53.8 million pounds less in volume, but $30.3 million more in value. Landings in the Gulf States were 248.3 million pounds, a decrease of 17.6 million pounds (7 percent) compared with 1977. Landings declined in all Gulf States except in Louisiana where the 104.4 million pounds were slightly more than the 104.0 million pounds landed the previous year. Texas landings (84.6 million pounds) were 8 percent less. The shrimp were smaller and therefore more effort had to be expended to meet the quantities caught the previous year. Pacific Coast landings (154.4 million pounds) were 20 percent less than in 1977 and 3 percent below the 1973-77 average. Alaska landings of shrimp were 74.5 million pounds, a decrease of 42.5 million pounds (36 percent) compared with 1977. Several factors appear to have decreased stocks in the Kodiak, Chignik, and South Peninsula areas: changes in oceanographic conditions (water temperature, plankton blooms), distribution of the fishing effort, increases in cod and pollock populations, and premature egg losses. XI REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES Landings of shrimp in Oregon continued to escalate in 1978 with 57.0 million pounds compared with 48.6 million pounds in 1977. The New England shrimp fishery was almost negligible with only 7,000 pounds landed in Massachusetts. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission continued its ban on shrimping in the Gulf of Maine in 1978. SQUID. U.S. commercial landings of squid were a record 41.1 million pounds valued at $4.9 million, an increase of 16.3 million pounds and $2.8 million compared with 1977. U.S. exports of this product were 10.6 million pounds compared with 5.0 million pounds in 1977. California landings were 37.4 million pounds, almost double the amount taken in 1977. Because of difficulties in the anchovy fishery (price disputes and fish under legal-size), California fishermen concentrated on the squid fishery instead. Atlantic Coast landings of 3.7 million pounds were 1.7 million pounds less than in 1977. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. per capita consumption of edible fishery products in 1978 reached a record of 13.4 pounds (edible meat) per person. This was 0.6 pound more than the 12.8 pounds consumed in 1977. Most of the increase in 1978 was in canned fishery products, which rose to 5.0 pounds per person, up 0.4 pound from 1977. Canned tuna increased 0.4 pound and canned salmon, 0.1 pound; however, canned shellfish items decreased 0.1 pound. Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen fish and shellfish increased to 7.9 pounds in 1978, up only 0.1 pound from 1977. However, fresh and frozen finfish increased 0.4 pound owing to an increase of 0.3 pound in the consumption of blocks and groundfish fillets and steaks. There was also a 0.1-pound increase in consumption of other fish. Offsetting most of the increase in fresh and frozen finfish was a decline of 0.3 pound in consumption of fresh and frozen shellfish from 2.6 pounds per person in 1977 to 2.3 pounds in 1978. Fresh and frozen shrimp, clams, and crabs each declined 0.1 pound. Cured consumption increased to 0.5 pound in 1978, up 0.1 pound compared to last year. In addition to consumption of commercially caught fish and shellfish, recreational fishermen catch a considerable amount estimated to be 3 to 4 pounds (edible meat) per person. PER CAPITA USE. The per capita use of all fishery products, both edible and industrial, was 52.7 pounds (round weight) in 1978, up 3.9 pounds (8 percent) from 1977. The reason for the increase was that both U.S. production and imports were up. The per capita use of edible fishery products rose 8.8 percent and industrial use increased 5.5 percent. PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS FRESH AND FROZEN FISH FILLETS AND STEAKS. In 1978, the U.S. production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks was 161.3 million pounds valued at $208.9 million, up almost 1.0 million pounds in quantity but over $17.0 million in value compared with 1977. Once again flounder fillets led all species produced with 41.7 million pounds or 25.9 percent of the total production. Production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, Atlantic pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) was 62.4 million pounds compared with 59.9 million pounds produced in 1977. Landings of all groundfish species were higher than in the previous year. FISH BLOCKS. The U.S. production of blocks is not reported by species, but is included with the production data on fillets to avoid disclosure of individual operations. Total U.S. block production was 2.1 million pounds valued at $1.7 million in 1978, compared with 2.1 million pounds valued at $1.5 million in 1977. FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. Production of fish sticks and portions was 479.8 million pounds valued at $497.0 million in 1978, up 37.1 million pounds and $86.5 million compared with 1977. The production of fish portions alone of 386.6 million pounds valued at $412.0 million set new records in 1978. The production of cooked batter-coated fish portions (86.5 million pounds) registered a significant increase of 28.4 million pounds, when compared with the 1977 production of 58.1 million pounds. Raw breaded portions (180.0 million pounds) and unbreaded portions (32.4 million pounds) increased slightly over the same period; however, cooked breaded portions (87.7 million pounds) declined 5.1 million pounds. Fish stick production increased from the 1977 production of 87.2 million pounds valued at $68.7 million to 93.2 million pounds valued at $85.0 million in 1978. BREADED SHRIMP. Data for 1978 are not available for all plants that produce breaded shrimp. The 44 plants reporting to NMFS on a quarterly basis produced 108.0 million pounds valued at a record $251.8 million. In 1977, these same plants produced 94.1 million pounds valued at $209.5 million; however, 13 additional firms reporting on an annual basis produced 3.3 million pounds valued at $7.1 million in 1977. FROZEN FISHERY TRADE. In 1978, stocks of frozen fishery products in cold storage were at a low of 319.1 million pounds on April 30 and at a high of 427.4 million pounds on October 31. Cold storage holdings of shrimp products were 92.4 million pounds on January 31, dropped to 58.7 million pounds by June 30, and ended the year at 64.8 million pounds on December 31. Fish block holdings were 88.6 million pounds on September 30 because of larger imports of cod and pollock for the month. By the end of the year, these stocks had dropped to 71.9 million pounds. Record landings of snow (tanner) crabs in 1978 contributed to the all-time high total crab products in storage of 51.3 million pounds on May 31. XII REVIEW PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1978 pack of canned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico, was a record 60.0 million standard cases (1.7 billion pounds) valued at a record $2.0 billion— increases of 8.3 million standard cases (229.6 million pounds) and $405.0 million over the 1977 pack. The 1978 pack included a record 47.6 million standard cases (1,070.3 million pounds) for human consumption and 12.4 million standard cases (595.6 million pounds) for bait and animal food. The packs of salmon, Maine sardines, tuna, fish roe and caviar, squid, and animal food increased in 1978, but the packs of jack mackerel, tunalike fish, clam and clam products, oysters, and shrimp declined. CANNED SALMON. The 1978 U.S. pack of Pacific salmon was 3.4 million standard cases valued at $248.4 million, an increase of 279,500 standard cases or 9 percent in volume compared with the 3.1 million standard cases packed in 1977. The Alaska pack of 3.4 million standard cases was 496,000 standard cases more than the 2.9 million standard cases packed the previous year and was 99 percent of the U.S. salmon pack. Pink salmon, with the highest pack since 1968, was over one-half the total salmon pack in 1978. The 1978 production of red or sockeye salmon (999,300 standard cases) was 55,400 standard cases less than the 1977 pack of 1,054,700 standard cases. The pack of chum salmon also declined and was 16 percent less than in 1977. Nearly 18,000 standard cases of salmon were produced in Washington and Oregon— the lowest pack on record. CANNED SARDINES. The pack of Maine sardines (sea herring) was 1.1 million standard cases valued at a record $35.6 million, increases of 123,100 standard cases and $8.4 million compared with 1977. In 1978, the pack of herring and herring specialties was 95,020 standard cases valued at $5.8 million compared with the 1977 pack of 138,862 standard cases valued at $7.1 million. CANNED TUNA. The 1978 U.S. pack of tuna was a record 35.9 million standard cases (707.4 million pounds) valued at a record $1.3 billion. The pack was 8.2 million standard cases more than the 1977 pack of 27.7 million standard cases, and exceeded the previous record 33.4 million standard cases produced in 1974 by 2.5 million standard cases. The pack of albacore (white meat tuna), 7.1 million standard cases, was 20 percent of the 1978 pack and 836,000 standard cases more than the 6.2 million cases packed in 1977. Lightmeat tuna (bigeye, bluefin, skipjack, and yellowfin) comprised the remaining 28.8 million standard cases. Plants in the continental United States packed 44 percent of the total; American Samoa, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico packed the rest. Canned tuna packed from landings by U.S. fishermen was 258.1 million pounds, 26.9 million pounds less than the record 285.0 million pounds packed in 1976. A record of 449.3 million pounds of tuna from imported fish was packed in 1978. Over 861.8 million pounds (round weight) of fresh and frozen tuna were imported, setting a new record in 1978. This was 191.7 million pounds more than in 1977 when 670.1 million pounds were imported, and 22.9 million pounds more than the previous record of 838.9 million pounds in 1974. CANNED CLAMS. The U.S. pack of clams and clam products, excluding clam specialties, was 2.7 million standard cases valued at $59.6 million in 1978— declines of 176,400 standard cases and $4.9 million. This can be attributed to smaller landings of clams in 1978, 87.7 million pounds of meats compared with 96.2 million pounds in 1977. The 1978 pack of whole and minced clams (689,400 standard cases) represented 26 percent of the total pack with chowder and juice the rest. CANNED SHRIMP. The 1978 pack of shrimp was 2.3 million standard cases valued at $45.8 million— down 1.3 million cases and $25.5 million compared with the 1977 pack of 3.6 million standard cases valued at $71.3 million. Of the 2.3 million standard cases, 1.4 million cases were packed in plants in Louisiana and Mississippi, the remaining 959,000 standard cases in plants in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington. Landings of shrimp declined from 476.7 million pounds in 1977 to 422.9 million pounds in 1978, reflecting a smaller pack in the canned production. OTHER CANNED ITEMS. The U.S. pack of jack mackerel was 579,000 standard cases valued at $7.2 million in 1978, slightly less than 686,000 standard cases valued at $11.9 million packed in 1977. A decline in landings caused this decrease. The pack of tunalike fish (bonito) was 181,000 standard cases in 1978 valued at $3.6 million compared with 473,000 standard cases valued at $10.6 million packed in 1977. The natural pack of oysters was 43 percent less than the 146,700 standard cases packed in 1977. Nine plants canned natural oysters in 1977 while 5 canned in 1978. CANNED PET FOOD. In 1978, the pack of pet food (10 pounds of fish per standard case of 48 one-pound cans) was 12.4 million standard cases valued at $222.6 million, an increase of 1.7 million standard cases and $56.9 million more than the 1977 pack. A larger pack of tuna caused this increase in the pet food production. Xlll REVIEW PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1978 value of the production of industrial fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was a record $253.0 million, $62.4 million more than that produced in 1977. In terms of value, the leading State was Louisiana ($107.4 million); followed by Maine ($32.5 million); and Virginia ($24.4 million). FISH MEAL AND SCRAP. Domestic production in 1978 (including shellfish meal) was a record 362,556 short tons, 80,265 short tons more than produced in 1977, and 50,297 short tons more than produced in 1962, the previous record year. Menhaden meal (276,546 short tons) set a record in 1978, and was 78 percent of the total fish meal production. Production of menhaden meal was 43 percent more than the 193,268 short tons produced in 1977, and exceeded the previous record year 1961 by 29,013 short tons. Production of tuna and mackerel meal set a new record in 1978 of 50,244 short tons. This was 11,016 short tons more than the 1977 production (39,228 short tons), and 2,000 short tons more than in 1974, the previous record year. Anchovy meal production (2,071 short tons) in 1978 declined 16,800 short tons compared with 1977. The lower production was attributed to a serious decline in the landings of anchovies. FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles was a record 167,319 short tons— 44,989 short tons more than the 122,330 short tons produced in 1977 and 1,960 short tons more than the previous record year, 1959, when 165,359 short tons were produced. Menhaden solubles accounted for 79 percent of the production and were a record 132,007 short tons— 23,928 short tons more than the previous record year, 1959, when 108,079 short tons were produced. FISH OILS. The domestic production of fish oils (294.9 million pounds) increased 161.7 million pounds from the 1977 production of 133.2 million pounds. This production, the second highest on record, fell short of the record 299.3 million pounds produced in 1936 by 4.4 million pounds. Production of menhaden oil (284.0 million pounds) once again set a new record and was 96 percent of the fish oil production. Tuna and mackerel oil increased slightly, but anchovy oil production declined to 799,000 pounds, compared with 6.2 million pounds produced a year earlier. OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. Oyster shell products (grit and lime) were valued at $4.5 million in 1978 compared with $6.7 million in 1977. The value of other industrial products declined slightly from $44.4 million in 1977 to $43.1 million in 1978. Items included in this category are agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells for food processing, fish pellets, Irish moss extract, kelp products, liquid fertilizers, pearl essence, and shark leathers. FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS IMPORTS. Total- U.S. imports of fishery products for consumption were $3,099.3 million, $477.1 million (18 percent) more than in 1977. Imports of edible fishery products were 2,420.8 million pounds valued at $2,274.7 million, an increase of 11 percent in quantity and 9 percent in value. Increased receipts of fillets and steaks, regular and minced blocks, fresh and frozen tuna, tuna loins and discs, canned tuna, and oysters accounted largely for the gain. Shrimp, one of the major import items, declined slightly. Other important items showing decreases were scallops, bonito and yellowtail, and canned clams. Imports of nonedible fishery products were valued at $824.6 million, $280.9 million or 52 percent more than in 1977. EXPORTS. U.S. exports of domestic fishery products were a record $905.5 million in 1978, $385.0 million (74 percent) more than the previous year. Exports of edible fishery products were 448.3 million pounds valued at $831.7 million in 1978, compared with 331.1 million pounds valued at $473.4 in 1977. There were major increases in 1978 exports of fresh and frozen king crab, shrimp, and salmon, as well as canned mackerel, salmon, sardines, and canned squid. Exports of fresh and frozen salmon were a record 125.8 million pounds, up 80 percent from 1977. Exports of canned salmon were a record 32.5 million pounds in 1978, up 53 percent from 1977. Exports of fresh and frozen shrimp were a record 34.8 million pounds in 1978, up 33 percent from 1977. Exports of nonedible fishery products were $73.9 million in 1978 compared with $47.1 million in 1977. The increase was attributed to larger exports of menhaden oil— $42.3 million in value in 1978, compared with $18.1 million in 1977. THE FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1976 Th„ Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (FCM A), Public Law 94-265, signed on April 13, 1976, provides for the conservation and exclusive management of all fishery resources within the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ), except highly migratory species of tuna. It also provides for exclusive management authority over Continental Shelf fishery resources and over anadromous species beyond the U.S. FCZ, except during the time they are found within any foreign nation's territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or the equivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone is recognized by the United States. The U.S. FCZ extends from the seaward boundaries of the territorial sea (3 nautical miles from shore for all but 2 States) to 200 nautical miles from shore. The seaward boundaries of Texas and the Gulf Coast of Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS FEES Foreign nations (except Canada) engaged in fisheries subject to U.S. jurisdiction are charged permit fees, a poundage fee, a foreign fee surcharge, and an observer fee. The permit fees are annual charges of $1 per gross registered ton for each vessel engaged in fishing; 50 cents per gross registered ton for each vessel engaged in processing fish (not to exceed $2,500 per vessel); $200 for each ship assisting other vessels in harvesting or processing; and $200 for each vessel in a nonretention fishery. The poundage fee is computed by taking 3.5 percent of the dockside (exvessel) price of fish that are allocated annually to each foreign nation. The value of the fish is based on the dockside price received by U.S. fishermen. For species not landed in the United States, an appropriate foreign dockside price is used. Upon application by a foreign nation at the end of the year, a refund is made for the unused allocations. Under the FCMA, the U.S. Department of State, with cooperation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, negotiates a Governing International Fishery Agreement (GIFA) with foreign countries wishing to fish within the U.S. FCZ. After the GIFA is signed it is transmitted by the President to the Congress for review. FOREIGN FISHING PERMIT After a GIFA is in force, the foreign nation submits a vessel permit application for each vessel to the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. Department of State provides copies of the application to the Congress, the U.S. Coast Guard, the appropriate Regional Fishery Management Council and a copy with recommendations to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries of NMFS. NMFS also receives recommendations from the Regional Fishery Management Councils and the U.S. Coast Guard. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries of NMFS reviews all recommendations pertinent to the application and, after consultation with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Coast Guard, may approve the application. The conditions and restrictions on the approval of the application, and the request for fees, are sent to the foreign nation through the U.S. Department of State. Vessel permits are prepared by NMFS and transmitted through the Department of State to the foreign nation. Beginning in 1979, there will be a surcharge of up to 20 percent on each nation's permit fee and poundage fee, but not on the observer fee. The surcharge is used to capitalize a fund to compensate U.S. fishermen operating in the U.S. FCZ whose vessels are lost or damaged because of foreign vessel activities, or whose fishing gear is lost or damaged by any foreign or domestic vessel or by "Acts of God." The surcharge is in two installments. The first installment is 10 percent, and is payable when the permit fee and poundage fee are paid. The amount of the second installment will be reduced or waived if actual claims experience indicates that the total of claims against the fund is not as high as estimated. The observer fee covers U.S. costs including salary, per diem, transportation, and overhead for U.S. observers on board foreign vessels. The fee is computed on the basis of actual observer trips. FOREIGN ALLOCATIONS The total allowable level of foreign fishing (TALFF), if any, for any fishery subject to the exclusive fishery management authority of the United States, is that portion of the optimum yield (OY) of such fishery that will not be harvested by vessels of the United States. Each assessment of OY and each assessment of the anticipated U.S. harvest will be reviewed during each fishing season. Adjustments to TALFFs will be made based on updated information relating to status of stocks, estimated and actual performance of domestic and foreign fleets, and other relevant factors. xv FCMA PRELIMINARY FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (PMPs) If a foreign nation that has entered into a Governing International Fishery Agreement (GIF A) with the United States applies for permission to fish within the U.S. FCZ, the Secretary of Commerce is empowered to prepare and implement a PMP. PMPs apply only to foreign fishermen, and generally remain in effect until an FMP, prepared by the appropriate Regional Fishery Management Council, goes into effect. As of March 20, 1979, the following PMPs were in effect: Atlantic PMPs Atlantic BUlfishes and Sharks (43 FR 3818, Jan. 27, 1978) Hake Fisheries of the Northwestern Atlantic (42 FR 10146, Feb. 18, 1977) Finfish Caught Incidental to the Foreign Trawl Fisheries of the Northwestern Atlantic (42 FR 9950, Feb. 17, 1977) Mackerel Fishery of the Northwestern Atlantic (42 FR 9552, Feb. 16, 1977) Squid Fisheries of the Northwestern Atlantic (42 FR 9597, Feb. 16, 1977) Pacific PMPs Sablefish Fishery of the Eastern Bering Sea and the Northeastern Pacific (42 FR 8534, Feb. 10, 1977) Seamount Groundfish Fishery of the Pacific (42 FR 8568, Feb. 10, 1977) Shrimp of the Eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska (42 FR 12386, Mar. 3, 1977) Snail Fishery of the Eastern Bering Sea (42 FR 9334, Feb. 15, 1977) Trawl Fisheries and Herring Gillnet Fishery of the Eastern Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific (42 FR 9298, Feb. 15, 1977) Trawl Fisheries of Washington, Oregon, and California (42 FR 8578, Feb. 10, 1977) FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (FMPs) The FCMA requires that Regional Fishery Management Councils (and in certain cases, the Secretary of Commerce) prepare FMPs, and that the Secretary of Commerce approve and implement them. Each Council is authorized to prepare FMPs on fisheries within its geographical area of authority. The Secretary of Commerce has the general responsibility under the Act to implement any FMP or amendment approved or prepared by the Secretary. The Secretary may promulgate such regulations as may be necessary to implement any approved FMP. Enforcement of the FCMA, including the provisions of approved management plans and regulations, is a joint responsibility of the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of the department in which the U.S. Coast Guard is operating. Both foreign and domestic fishing is controlled under FMPs. Currently, foreign fishing is allowed in only two of the FMPs— Commercial Tanner Crab off the Coast of Alaska and Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska. As of March 20, 1979, the FMPs listed below were in force. Atlantic FMPs Atlantic Groundfish Plan for Haddock, Cod, and Yellowtail Flounder (42 FR 14002, Mar. 14, 1977) Atlantic Herring Fishery of the Northwestern Atlantic (43 FR 60479, Dec. 28, 1978) Stone Crab Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (44 FR 18031, Mar. 26,1979) Surf Clam and Ocean Quahog Fisheries (42 FR 60439, Nov. 25, 1977) Pacific FMPs Commercial and Recreational Salmon Fisheries off the Coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California (42 FR 2142, Apr. 26, 1977) Northern Anchovy Fishery (43 FR 31655, July 21, 1978) Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (43 FR 17242, Apr. 21, 1978) Commercial Tanner Crab off the Coast of Alaska (43 FR 21175, May 16, 1978) xvi FCMA a •z.

A total of $10,160,015 was charged to foreign governments at the beginning of 1977, and $3,018,824 was refunded, because foreign fishing vessels were unable to catch all of the fish or shellfish allocated to them. No fees were levied against Canada. Mexico and Romania did not fish in the U.S. FCZ in 1977. Note: — Table may not add because of rounding.

Source: — U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. 70 PRICES RETAIL The Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, collects estimated retail prices of fishery products for use in the food component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The 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 item for which prices are collected. All prices are converted to a standard unit, and population weights are used in obtaining U.S. average prices for all areas combined.

(Continued) VALUE ADDED 73 VALUE ADDED, MARGINS, AND CONSUMER EXPENDITURES FOR EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1977 AND 1978 - Continued FOOTNOTES (1) For imported fishery products, the margin and sales values at different levels are calculated in the same manner as they are done for the domestic production column, except that the markup rate at the processor level is 0.6232 in 1977 and 0.6495 in 1978; at the wholesale level the markup rate is 0.1681 in 1977 and 0.1678 in 1978. The distribution rate is 49 percent in 1977 and 50 percent in 1978 at retail stores; 45 percent in 1977 and 44 percent in 1978 at eating places; and 6 percent at institutions in 1977 and 1978. (2) Value-added rate at each level is the weighted average of all fishery products, expressed as a percentage of its corresponding margin. (3) Multiply each item under the total margin column by its corresponding value under the value-added rate column to get the actual value added as contribution to the economy from all production and distribution levels of the U.S. fishing industry in the food fish sector. (4) Value of landings of fish for industrial purposes is deducted. (5) Exports of unprocessed fish are deducted from the value of the landings after being converted to an equivalent value for domestic landings. (6) Processor's purchase value (or domestic sales at the harvesting level) times the processor's markup rate (weighted average for all fishery products is 1.1447 in 1977 and 1.1262 in 1978) equals the margin at the processor's level. (7) Exports of processed products are deducted at their export value from this level. (8) Wholesale purchase value (processors domestic sales) times the weighted average of markup rates (0.2068 for 1977 and 0.2080 for 1978). (9) In 1977, 36.4 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to retailers and 38.0 percent in 1978. This value times the weighted average of markup rates (0.3043 in 1977 and 0.2870 in 1978) at the retail level equals the margin at retail. (10) In 1977, 58.6 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to eating places and 57.0 percent in 1978. At a markup rate of 1.172 for 1977 and 1.220 for 1978, the margin and sales values at this level are obtained. (11) A wholesale sales value of 5.0 percent is distributed to institutions with a markup rate of 0.6472 in 1977 and 0.6550 in 1978; the margin and sales value at this level are then calculated. (12) Consumer expenditures are the total sales value at retail stores, eating places, and institutions. This total is also the sum of margins of five marketing levels and the landings value after export value is deducted. Note: -The procedure for calculating the data in this table is based on two comprehensive reports: Cost Analyses of U.S. Fish Price Margins. 1972-1977. at Different Production and Distribution Levels and Marketing Bill of U.S. Fish-Food Products, both prepared by Erwin S. Penn (202-634-7111) of the Economic Analysis Group, Office of Policy and Planning, Fx53. 74 U.S. PER CAPITA 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 (see p. 54 )• Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see p. 75 ). 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, defense purchases, 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.

The reports provide description and analysis of those economic factors affecting markets for fishery products. The narrative includes a review of market trends, both historical and recent, and an outlook for the near future. Statistical tables are presented for landings, production, imports, inventories, supplies, apparent consumption, and prices (exvessel, wholesale, and retail). OPERATION PRICE WATCH is based on an informal NMFS survey of retail prices of fish and other items. The reports are published monthly, and include prices of surveyed items in each of 10 cities, 10-city average prices, and three price indexes (fish, meat, and poultry). Because prices of some items, notably fresh fish, are not regularly available, they are not included in the 10-city averages, nor in the indexes. The three indexes differ from those published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which conducts separate formal surveys of retail prices for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Summaries of the reports shown on this page are published in the NMFS FISHERY MARKET NEWS REPORTS (see page 96).

FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1976, Public Law 94-265 (FCMA). The FCMA became law on April 13, 1976, and was put in force March 1, 1977. The 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. The FCMA established the U.S. Fishery Conservation Zone (FCZ) and a means to control foreign and certain domestic fisheries through PMPs and FMPs. Within the U.S. FCZ, the United States has exclusive management authority over all 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 Act provides further exclusive management authority beyond the U.S. FCZ 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 territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or the equivalent), to the extent that such a sea or zone is recognized by the United States. FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan developed by a Regional Fishery Management Council to manage a fishery resource pursuant to the FCMA. FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN. An individual who spends 50 percent or more of the working year in commercial fishing activities, including port activity, such as vessel repair, and re-rigging. GROSS REGISTERED TONNAGE (GRT). The gross registered tonnage of a vessel is the internal cubic capacity of all space in and on the vessel that is permanently enclosed, with the exception of certain permissible exemptions. GRT is expressed in tons of 100 cubic feet. GROUNDFISH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the sea floor. The term includes a wide variety of bottomfishes, rockfishes, and flatfishes. However, NMFS sometimes uses the term in a narrower sense. In import statistics shown in "Fisheries of the United States," the term applies to the following species: cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch. INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items processed from fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals that are not consumed directly by humans. These items contain products from seaweeds, fish meal, fish oils, fish solubles, pearl essence, shark and other aquatic animal skins, and shells. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES (ICNAF). This convention, which entered into force on July 3, 1950, was for the investigation, protection, and conservation of the fishery resources of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. In 1975, there were 18 member nations. The United States withdrew from ICNAF on December 31, 1976, because continued adherence to the convention was deemed incompatible with the extension of U.S. fishery management jurisdictions to 200 miles under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. See Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO). 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 for some species only the meats are landed, such as sea scallops. Data for all mollusks are published on meat-weight basis. MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish, shellfish, and other living aquatic organisms caught, but not necessarily brought ashore, by recreational marine anglers. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure, amusement, relaxation, or home consumption. If part or all of the catch is sold, the monetary returns constitute an insignificant part of the person's income. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING DAY. A day, or any part of a day, spent fishing for recreational purposes. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING EXPEND- ITURES. Money spent for goods and services used primarily for recreational fishing. Include monies spent for: (1) food and lodging; (2) transportation; (3) auxiliary equipment, including boats and motors; (4) fishing equipment; (5) licenses, tags, and permits; and (6) privilege fees, including party and charter boat fees, and other miscellaneous items related directly to recreational fishing. 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 their catch may be sold and enter commercial channels. GLOSSARY 117 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 determination of MSY, which should be an estimate based upon the best scientific information available, is a biological measure necessary in the development of optimum yield. NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES ORGANI- ZATION (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 of the northwest Atlantic. NAFO will manage 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. United States adherence to the NAFO Convention is anticipated in 1979. MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft having a capacity of less than 5 net tons. See "boat, other." OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the FCMA, 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 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 spends less than 50 percent of the 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. 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. PRELIMINARY FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (PMP). The Secretary of Commerce prepares a PMP whenever a foreign nation with whom the United States has made a Governing International Fishery Agreement (GIF A), submits an application to fish in a fishery, for which there is no fishery management plan (FMP). A PMP is replaced by an FMP as soon as the latter is implemented. A PMP applies only to foreign fishing. 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 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. TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING (TALFF). The TALFF, if any, with respect to any fishery subject to the exclusive fishery management authority of the United States, shall be 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 FCMA. U.S. FISHERY CONSERVATION ZONE (FCZ). The FCMA 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. U.S. TERRITORIAL SEA. A zone extending 3 nautical miles from shore for all States except Texas and the Gulf Coast of Florida where the seaward boundary is 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). USE OF FISHERY PRODUCTS. Estimated disappearance of the total supply of fishery products both edible and nonedible on a round- weight basis without considering 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.

Beef and poultry, as well as many other perishable food items, are federally inspected and graded at various stages of processing to ensure buyers that the product is safe, wholesome, and acceptable. Fishery products have no similar mandatory Federal inspection program; however, the U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC) provides a voluntary inspection program for fishery products. Seafood processors, packers, brokers, and users who are interested in having USDC inspect their products may subscribe voluntarily to the program. Users of the service pay for USDC inspection which evaluates their raw materials, ensures the hygienic preparation of products, and certifies the final quality and condition of the product. The USDC inspector functions as an objective observer in evaluating processing techniques and product quality and condition. Products packed in plants under USDC inspection can carry marks for easy consumer indentifi cation. FEDERAL INSPECTION MARKS. Federal inspection marks are official marks approved by the Secretary of Commerce and authorized for use on brand labels of fishery products. When displayed on product labels, these marks signify that Federal inspectors of the Department of Commerce inspected, graded, and certified the products as having met all the requirements of inspection regulations, and have been produced in accordance with official U.S. grade standards or approved specifications. WHAT DO THE INSPECTION MARKS MEAN? The distinctive inspection marks are symbols that signify two distinct but related functions in guiding the consumer to safe, wholesome products produced in a sanitary environment and packed in accordance with uniform quality U.S. GRADE standards under the supervision of the U.S. Department of Commerce's voluntary inspection service. The functions symbolized by each mark follow: "U.S. GRADE" MARK. Grade" mark signifies that: The "U.S. 1 . The product is clean, safe, and wholesome. 2.

The product was produced in an acceptable establishment with proper equipment and in an appropriate processing environment as required by food control authorities. 4. The product was processed under supervision by Federal food inspectors and packed by sanitary food handlers in accordance with specific Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. 5. The product is truthfully and accurately labeled as to common or usual name, optional ingredients, and quantity. acceptable establishment with appropriate equipment under the supervision of Federal inspectors.

Fishing Vessel Obligation Guarantee Program is available for financing up to 87V4 percent of the cost of constructing, recofls-truefing, or reconditioning fishing vessels of 5 net tons or over. Maturities of -1,5 .to 20 ye'ars are available. The long-term financing available under this program allows fishing vessel owners to stretch the debt service of their vessel construction or refurbishing costs over a period of time equal to the economically useful life of their vessel. Down payments are low and interest costs are reasonable. ■' Fishing Vessel Capital Construction Fund Program allows fishing vessel owners to defer payment of Federal tax on any portion of income earned from the operation of fishing vessels of at least 2 net tons' when that income is reserved for payment toward the cost of vessel construction or reconstruction. This provides an interest-free loan from the U.S. Government equal to the Federal taxes which otherwise would have been paid on vessel income. Deferred taxes are eventually repaid to the U.S. Government through a reduction in the depreciation allowed on vessels constructed or reconstructed with tax deferred funds. The "interest-free loan" character of the tax deferral, thus, continues through the depreciable life of the vessel. This tax -deferral program compensates for vessel owner's general lack of access to the equity capital market by^ reducing the amount that must be initially borrowed from conventional sources to finance vessel construction or reconstruction.
