Dalton, Assistant Administrator For sale by die Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 PREFACE FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 1998 This publication is a preliminary report for 1998 on commercial and recreational fisheries of the United States with landings from the U.S. territorial seas, U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and on the high seas. This annual report provides timely answers to frequently asked questions. SOURCES OF DATA Information in this report came from many sources. Field offices of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), in cooperation with various States, collected and compiled data on U.S. commercial landings and processed fishery products. The NMFS Fisheries Statistics and Economics 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, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. As in past issues of this publication, the units of quantity and value are defined as follows unless otherwise noted: U.S. landings are shown in round weight (except mollusks which are in meat weight); quantities shown for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census; the value of the U.S. domestic commercial landings 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. SUGGESTIONS PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA Data on U.S. commercial landings, employ- ment, prices, production of processed products, and recreational catches are preliminary for 1998. Final data will be published in other NMFS Current Fishery Statistics publications. The Fisheries Statistics and Economics Division wishes to provide the kinds of data sought by users of fishery statistics, and welcomes comments or suggestions that will improve this publication. Address all comments or questions to: The Fisheries Statistics and Economics Division of NMFS takes this opportunity to thank states, industry, and foreign nations who provided the data that made this publication possible.

Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 states were 9.2 billion pounds or 4.2 million metric tons valued at $3.1 billion in 1998--a decrease of 649.3 million pounds (down 7 percent) and a decrease of $319.1 million (down 9 percent) compared with 1997. The volume of 1998 U.S. landings decreased, especially in Pacific waters affected by El Nino, for the following major species: cod, yellowfin flounder, herring, rockfish, squid and seaweed (kelp). The decreased value in 1998 was associated with decreased landings of several major species and lower prices for cod, herring, menhaden, pollock (walleye), tuna and some species of flounders. Finfish accounted for 86 percent of the total landings, but only 46 percent of the value. The 1998 exvessel price paid to fishermen was 34 cents compared to 35 cents in 1997. Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports outside the 50 states or transferred onto foreign vessels (joint ventures) provided an additional 400.8 million pounds (181,800 metric tons) valued at $165.9 million. This was a 6 percent, or 22.2 million pounds (10,100 metric ton) increase in quantity, but a decrease of $19.6 million (23 percent) in value compared with 1997. Most of these landings consisted of halibut, sea herring, Atlantic mackerel, snapper and tuna landed in Canada, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and other foreign ports. Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 states were 7.2 billion pounds (3.3 million metric tons) in 1998-a decrease of 75 million pounds (34,000 metric tons) compared with 1997. Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes were 2.0 billion pounds (916,500 metric tons) in 1998-a decrease of 22 percent compared with 1997. The 1998 U.S. marine recreational finfish catch (including fish caught and released alive (discarded)) on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts was an estimated 312.3 million fish taken on an estimated 60.3 million fishing trips. The harvest (fish kept) was estimated at 135.5 million fish weighing 194.7 million pounds. There were significant reductions in the 1998 landings of many Pacific coast fisheries that may be associated with El Nino. The 1997-98 El Nino was the strongest on record and had spectacular impacts on weather, marine ecosystems and fisheries. El Nino, Spanish for little boy or Christ child, is the name associated with the appearance of unusually warm eastern and central tropical Pacific ocean waters. The El Nino phenomena results from interactions between the surface layers of the ocean and atmospheric circulation. During an El Nino the western Pacific trade winds are weak and don't produce the upwelling of cool, nutrient rich waters in the eastern Pacific. This causes a rise in sea surface temperature which reduces primary productivity, adversely affecting higher trophic levels of the food chain including commercial fisheries. Ocean temperatures averaging 4-8 degrees F above normal were recorded in an area exceeding 9.5 million square miles during one El Nino month. These anomolies force fish to migrate in search of cooler waters and food. Many fish, unable to migrate, die from lack of food or unbearable temperature elevation. Those species that are able to migrate may also suffer because of drastic temperature changes when they are in water not affected by El Nino. These temperature- and food- driven changes in species distributions result in marlin, swordfish, mackerel and turtles being caught in waters they normally do not inhabit such as off of the Pacific northwest coast of the U.S. WORLD LANDINGS. In 1 997, the most recent year for which data are available, world commercial fishery landings and aquaculture were 122.1 million metric tons--an increase of 2.2 million metric tons (up 2 percent) compared with 1996. REVIEW China was the leading nation with 28.7 percent of the total harvest; Peru, second with 6.4 percent; Japan third with 5.5 percent; Chile, fourth with 5.0 percent; and United States, fifth with 4.5 percent. PRICES. The 1998 annual exvessel price index for edible fish and shellfish declined 5 percent while industrial fish remained unchanged when compared with 1997. Exvessel price indices decreased for 20 of the 33 species groups being tracked, increased for 10 species groups and were not calculated for calico scallops. The snow crab price index had the largest increase (29 percent) while the 'other shrimp' price index showed the largest decrease (147 percent). PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The estimated value of the 1998 domestic production of edible and nonedible fishery products was $7.4 billion, $748.3 million less than the $8.1 billion in 1997. The value of edible products was $6.8 billion--a decrease of $748.4 million compared with 1997. The value of industrial products was $579.1 million in 1998-an increase of $39,000 compared with 1997. FOREIGN TRADE. The total import value of edible and nonedible fishery products was $15.6 billion in 1998--an increase of $1.1 billion compared with 1997. Imports of edible fishery products (product weight) were 3.6 billion pounds (1 .7 million metric tons) valued at $8.2 billion in 1998-an increase of 308.2 million pounds and $418 .9 million compared with 1997. Imports of nonedible (i.e., industrial) products were $7.4 billion— an increase of $685.4 million compared with 1997. Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery products was $8.7 billion in 1998-a decrease of $648.2 million compared with 1997. United States firms exported 1.7 billion pounds (766,100 metric tons) of edible products valued at $2.3 billion-a decrease of 329.9 million pounds, and $445.1 million compared with 1997. Exports of nonedible products were valued at $6.4 billion, $203.1 million less than 1997. SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of edible fishery products (domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent, minus exports) was 10.5 billion pounds (4.7 million metric tons) in 1998-an increase of 1.4 billion pounds (15 percent) compared with 1997. The supply of industrial fishery products was 1.5 billion pounds (700 million metric tons) in 1998-a decrease of 939.0 million pounds (38 percent) compared with 1997. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of fishery products was 14.9 pounds of edible meat per person in 1 998, up 0.3 pound from the 1 997 per capita consumption of 14.6 pounds. CONSUMER EXPENDITURES. U.S. consumers spent an estimated $49.3 billion for fishery products in 1998. The 1998 total includes $32.4 billion in expenditures at food service establishments (restaurants, carry-outs, caterers, etc.); $16.6 billion in retail sales for home consumption; and $250.9 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 $25.4 billion (in value added) to the U.S. Gross National Product.

NOTE:--Table may not add due to rounding. Clams, oysters and mussels are reported as meat weights (excludes shell) while other identified species such as shrimp and finfishes are reported as whole (live) weights. Some clam and oyster aquaculture production are reported with U.S. commercial landings. Weights and values represent the final sales of products to processors and dealers. "Miscellaneous" includes ornamental/tropical fish, alligators, algae, aquatic plants, eels, scallops, crabs, and others. The high value and low production of "Miscellaneous" occurs because production value, but not weight, are reported for many species such as ornamental fishes.

Menhaden, Pacific Hake, Atlantic Sea Hearing and Pacific Sardine were excluded from the commercial landings because they are industrial fisheries and recreational anglers do not target them. 26 U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES DATA COLLECTION. Data on commercial fisheries were collected for many years, yet before 1979 there was no continuous, systematic collection of marine recreational fishery data. In 1979, NMFS began the comprehensive Marine Recreational Fishery Statistical Survey (MRFSS). Data collected through the MRFSS show that recreational fisheries have tremendous impacts on fish stocks. For several important species recreational landings surpass commercial landings (see figure on preceding page). Detailed information on. marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management and development purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law 94- 265. The MRFSS consists of an intercept survey of anglers in the field and a telephone survey of coastal county households. The intercept survey collects data on species composition, catch rates, and fish lengths and weights. The telephone survey collects data on the number of marine fishing trips. These independent data are combined to produce estimates of catch, effort, and participation. Catch is divided into three categories - type A, type B1 and type B2. Type A catch is fish that were caught, landed whole and were available for identification, enumeration, weighing and measuring by trained MRFSS field personnel. Type B1 catch includes fish that were caught, filleted, released dead, given away, or disposed of in some other way so that the interviewer could not verify the species, sizes, or numbers reported. Fish that were caught and reported as released alive are in Type B2 category. Estimates are generated by subregion, state, wave (bimonthly sampling period), species, mode, primary area fished and catch type. In addition, economic and demographic data are also obtained. The MRFSS is being conducted in 1999 along the coast of the entire continental United States, except the states of Texas and Alaska. Sampling coverage varies across the time series (see coverage section). Detailed information and access to the data are available on the Fisheries Statistics and Economics web page (www.st.nmfs.gov/st1). Data from other NMFS and state surveys (SE head boats, Texas, California Passenger Fishing Vessels, Oregon/Washington ocean boats, Pacific salmon, Alaska) are not included in this report. DATA TABLES. The estimated number of fish caught and weight of the harvest are presented for 128 commonly caught species. The estimated total harvest includes a) fish brought ashore in whole form that were identified, weighed, and measured (A1); and b) fish that were not available for identification (B1). The latter type includes fish used for bait, discarded, filleted or released alive. Harvest does not include fish that were released alive (B2). Estimated catch and harvest is presented by subregion and primary fishing area: inland [sounds, rivers, bays], state territorial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore, except for Florida's Gulf coast, where state territorial seas extend to 10 miles from shore], and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) [ocean from the edge of the state territorial seas to 200 miles from shore]. The total number of estimated trips and participants are presented by state. 1998 MRFSS DATA. In 1998, over 7.5 million people made 60 million marine recreational fishing trips to the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The estimated marine recreational finfish catch was 312 million fish. Over 55 percent of the number caught were released alive. The estimated total weight of the harvest was 195 million pounds. The Atlantic and Gulf coasts accounted for 77 percent of the participants, 88 percent of the fishing trips, and 91 percent of the marine recreational finfish catch. Most ( 56 percent) of the catch came from inland waters, 34 percent from state territorial seas, and 10 percent from the EEZ. The distribution is different for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts versus the Pacific coast. On the Atlantic and Gulf the majority of the trips were from inland waters, while on the Pacific coast more trips were from the state territorial seas. ATLANTIC AND GULF. In 1998, 5.8 million marine recreational fishing participants took 53 million trips and caught a total of 284 million fish. The estimated number of Atlantic and Gulf coast trips decreased from a five-year high of 61 million trips in 1997 to 53 million in 1998. The estimated number of people engaged in marine recreational fishing on the Atlantic and Gulf coast ranged from a low of 5.8 million in 1998 to a high of 7.6 million in 1994. By subregion, the Gulf of Mexico accounted for the highest numbers of fish caught (44 percent) followed by the Mid-Atlantic (29 percent). Thirty percent of the recreational fishing trips were made in the South Atlantic, 30 percent in the Gulf of Mexico, 27 percent in the Mid-Atlantic, and 13 percent in the North Atlantic. U.S. RECREATIONAL FISHERIES 27 The most commonly caught non-bait species (numbers of fish) were Atlantic croaker, spotted sea trout, summer flounder, striped bass, bluefish, and black sea bass. Top-ranked non-bait species (catch in numbers) by subregion were striped bass in the North Atlantic, summer flounder in the Mid-Atlantic, spot in the South Atlantic, and spotted sea trout in the Gulf of Mexico. By weight, the largest harvests were striped bass, summer flounder, bluefish, dolphin, red drum, spotted sea trout, and king mackerel. The average weight for all fish combined was 1.4 pounds while the average weights for the top species were 2.9 pounds for bluefish, 9.3 for striped bass, 4.5 for red drum, 6.4 for dolphin, 1.2 for spotted sea trout, 1.8 for summer flounder, and 9.0 for king mackerel. The catch of striped bass increased steadily and dramatically since 1990 with a catch of nearly 16.5 million fish in 1998. Over 91 percent of striped bass were released alive in 1998. Spotted sea trout, bluefish and Atlantic croaker catches remained relatively steady from 1994-1998. Summer flounder catches increased from 16 million in 1995 to nearly 22 million in 1998. PACIFIC. In 1998, 1.7 million marine recreational fishing participants took 7.0 million trips and caught a total of 28 million fish. Seventy percent of the trips were made in California, followed by 21 percent in Washington, and 9 percent in Oregon. The most commonly caught non-bait species (numbers of fish) were Pacific (chub) mackerel, surf smelt, kelp bass, Pacific barracuda, black rockfish and barred sand bass. By weight, the largest harvests were yellowtail, black rockfish, Pacific barracuda, lingcod, California halibut and blue rockfish. The average weight for all fish combined was 1.7 pounds. Average weights for some of the top species were: 8.9 pounds for California halibut, 2.1 pounds for black rockfish, 8.5 pounds for yellowtail, 4.6 for Pacific barracuda and 8.0 pounds for lingcod. Surf smelt jumped from the 1993-1995 average of a little over a million fish to almost 5 million fish in 1998. Pacific barracuda catch has shown no real trend since 1994, ranging from a low of 584,000 fish in 1 996 to a high of 1 .8 million fish in 1994. Pacific mackerel reached a 4-year high in 1996 with 6.0 million fish caught. Ten percent of the catch on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts came from the EEZ. The most commonly caught species in federally managed waters were black sea bass, red snapper, summer flounder, dolphin, striped bass, bluefish and Atlantic cod. Fifteen 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 were Pacific mackerel, yellowtail, Pacific barracuda, barred sand bass, blue rockfish, kelp bass, and yellowtail rockfish. The percent of the catch from the state territorial sea was about 43 percent in 1998, while the inland catch increased from 13-17 percent in the early 1990's to 42 percent for 1998. 28 U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES Coverage of MRFSS Survey 1979-1998 The Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey provides coverage of saltwater sport fishing (including estuarine and brackish water) from private/rental boats, charter and head boats, and the shore on the Atlantic Coast (Maine-East Florida), Gulf Coast (Louisiana-West Florida), and Pacific coast (Washington through California). Washington Oregon Northern California Southern California North Atlantic Mid-Atlantic South Atlantic Gulf of Mexico Special care is advised when comparing catch estimates for the MRFSS time series because of differences in sampling coverage. In the South Atlantic and Gulf sub-regions (NC-LA) the MRFSS has not collected catch data from head boats since 1985, so estimates for these sub-regions now only include charter boats in the for-hire sector. Marine recreational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife and has not been surveyed by the MRFSS since 1985. On the Pacific coast, ocean boat trips during certain waves (bimonthly sampling periods) and salmon trips are not sampled because they are surveyed by the state natural resource agencies. Alaska conducts an annual mail survey and has never been surveyed by the MRFSS. The U.S. Caribbean and West Pacific territories have not been surveyed by the MRFSS since 1981 and their data are not included in currently available data. There are other exceptions where the following areas were not sampled during the period specified: Exceptions to MRFSS Coverage: Jan/Feb - All regions - 1981 Nov/Dec - ME & NH - 1987-present CA-WA- 1990-1992 Jan/Feb - No.CA-OR - 1994 Nov/Dec -OR- 1994 Jan/Feb - ME-GA - 1982-present Mar/Apr - ME & NH - 1996-present WA- 1993-1994 Jan/Feb - So.CA-OR - 1995 U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES 29 U.S. RECREATIONAL HARVEST (A+B1), BY SPECIES, 1997 AND 1998 Species 1997 1998 Average (1993-97) Thousand Metric Total Thousand Metric Total Thousand pounds tons Numbers (thousands) pounds tons Numbers (thousands) pounds Anchovies" Northern Anchovy d) (1) 58 (1) (D (1) (1) Other Anchovies (1) (1) (1) - - - 0) Barracudas 1,698 770 160 1,104 501 142 1,606 Bluefish 14,490 6,574 5,553 12,534 5,687 4,359 14,574 California Scorpionfish 206 93 243 185 84 160 242 Cartilaginous Fishes Dogfish Sharks** 546 248 157 545 247 166 427 Skates/Rays** 263 120 114 101 46 69 160 Other Sharks** 3,204 1,454 288 2,604 1,182 276 4,892 Catfishes** Freshwater Catfishes 560 254 312 783 355 444 634 Saltwater Catfishes 1,303 591 590 855 388 507 1,057 Cods And Hakes Atlantic Cod 2,621 1,189 474 2,952 1,339 463 3,558 Pacific Cod (1) (1) d) (1) (1) (D (1) Pacific Hake (1) 0) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) Pacific Tomcod 5 2 16 (1) (1) (1) (1) Pollock 432 196 152 280 127 183 488 Red Hake 471 214 341 138 63 113 221 Other Cods/Hakes 119 54 58 151 69 77 160 Croakers California Corbina 15 7 13 32 15 15 27 Queenfish 9 4 40 10 5 42 22 White Croaker 328 149 583 162 74 434 346 Other Croakers 204 93 138 221 100 119 213 Dolphins** 22,740 10,317 2,255 1 1 ,778 5,344 1,829 15,935 Drums Atlantic Croaker 8,076 3,664 1 1 ,928 8,120 3,684 9,886 6,150 Black Drum 2,351 1,067 632 2,489 1,129 655 2,131 Kingfishes 1,936 878 3,155 1,573 714 2,740 1,742 Red Drum 12,807 5,811 2,503 9,445 4,285 2,107 1 1 ,584 Sand Seatrout 1,452 659 2,337 1,739 789 2,663 1,993 Silver Perch 41 19 226 162 74 549 128 Spot 2,702 1,226 6,321 2,971 1,348 6,781 3,053 Sported Seatrout 10,805 4,903 8,972 9,377 4,255 7,613 10,893 Weakfish** 3,686 1,672 2,809 3,991 1,811 2,352 2,855 Other Drum 185 84 457 99 45 170 120 Eels** 16 7 24 2 1 12 11 Flounders California Halibut** 875 397 97 939 426 106 1,237 Gulf Flounder 424 192 283 203 92 152 225 Rock Sole 38 17 39 13 6 14 14 Sanddabs 155 70 446 99 45 259 108 Southern Flounder 1,483 673 934 1,112 505 746 1,457 Starry Flounder 9 4 9 19 9 17 11 Summer Flounder 1 1 ,878 5,389 7,178 12,567 5,702 6,965 9,941 Winter Flounder 1,500 681 1,271 700 318 631 1,391 Other Flounders** 798 362 135 858 389 174 447 See footnotes at end of table. 30 U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES U.S. RECREATIONAL HARVEST (A+B1), BY SPECIES, 1997 AND 1998 Species 1997 1998 Average (1993-97) Thousand Metric Total Thousand Metric Total Thousand pounds tons Numbers (thousands) pounds tons Numbers (thousands) pounds Greenlings Kelp Greenling 164 74 142 117 53 98 130 Lingcod 878 398 126 1,283 582 160 1,011 Other Greenlings 19 9 31 7 3 12 21 Grunts Pigfish 396 180 1,098 318 144 896 457 White Grunt 1,546 702 2,063 1,182 536 1,713 1,727 Other Grunts 582 264 1,275 288 131 672 343 Herrings** 1,853 841 35,647 915 415 25,443 1,109 Jacks Blue Runner 889 403 1,428 1,195 542 1,786 935 Crevalle Jack 1,575 715 939 772 350 449 1,404 Florida Pompano 458 208 384 632 287 486 380 Greater Amberjack 1,694 768 82 1,242 564 86 1,906 Yellowtail 3,233 1,467 648 5,697 2,585 673 2,037 Other Jacks 243 110 1,366 389 177 485 343 Mullets" 2,410 1,093 2,792 2,410 1,093 2,842 2,362 Pacific Barracuda 1,699 771 374 2,057 933 450 1,854 Porgies Pinfishes 1,803 818 8,361 2,517 1,142 7,254 1,724 Red Porgy 85 39 79 66 30 69 136 Scup** 1,205 547 1,923 870 395 1,205 1,651 Sheepshead 4,850 2,201 2,056 4,012 1,820 1,606 5,411 Other Porgies** 393 178 385 106 48 157 216 Puffers 151 69 280 67 30 145 112 Rockfishes Black Rockfish 1,173 532 592 2,459 1,116 1,178 1,414 Blue Rockfish 651 296 651 859 390 841 596 Bocaccio 116 53 64 124 56 40 190 Brown Rockfish 109 50 99 92 42 81 92 Canary Rockfish 178 81 114 185 84 107 197 Chilipepper Rockfish 3 (1) (1) (1) 0) (1) 30 Copper Rockfish 166 75 98 241 109 157 210 Greenspotted Rockfish 32 14 42 33 15 40 91 Olive Rockfish 74 34 56 110 50 77 90 Quillback Rockfish 79 36 44 97 44 53 53 Rockfishes 56 25 69 78 35 102 95 Widow Rockfish 59 27 48 98 44 67 44 Yellowtail Rockfish 450 204 349 447 203 274 304 Other Rockfishes** 650 295 757 751 341 1,108 1,235 Sablefishes 15 7 2 (1) (D (1) (D Sculpins Cabezon 195 89 65 293 133 91 219 Sculpins 18 8 73 18 8 38 21 Sea Basses Barred Sand Bass 790 359 523 685 311 408 1,043 Black Sea Bass 5,074 2,302 5,696 1,656 751 1,684 4,929 Epinephelus Groupers** 910 413 147 975 442 153 1,462 Kelp Bass 767 348 467 511 232 326 930 Mycteroperca Groupers** 3,489 1,583 498 4,327 1,963 635 3,290 Spotted Sand Bass 66 30 52 22 10 17 76 Other Sea Basses 109 49 497 100 45 310 129 See footnotes at end of table.

The table indexes the average annual exvessel value (price per pound) received for each species or group to the average price per pound received for the same species or group in the base year 1982. That number was then divided by the 1982 value to obtain the final index: (100 x Current price X 1982 quantity) = Index 1982 Annual value The exvessel price for each year was obtained by dividing total value for each species or group by its total quantity as reported in the U. S. commercial landings tables on pages 1 through 4. The index for each species or group was obtained by multiplying the current annual price by the total quantity caught in 1982 (the base year). Each index number measures price changes from the 1 982 reference period when the index equaled 100. A species of fish that sold for $0.75 a pound in 1986 and a $1.00 a pound in 1 982 would have an index of 75 in 1 986. In 1 998, if the price of the same species increased to $1 .07, the index in 1998 would be 107.

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 territorial 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 boundaries of Texas, Puerto Rico, and the Gulf coast of Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the Secretary of State, in cooperation with the Secretary of Commerce, negotiates Governing International Fishery Agreements (GIFAs) with foreign nations requesting 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 II of the Magnuson-Stevens Act governs foreign fishing in the EEZ. The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publication. As U.S. fishing capacity grew, foreign participation in directed fisheries, as well as in foreign 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 directed fishing in the EEZ. This marked the achievement of one of the objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, that is, the development of the U.S. fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species, and the displacement of directed foreign fishing effort in the EEZ. As a result of the above, there has been no total allowable level of foreign fishing since 1991, although 1 5,000 mt of Atlantic mackerel and 40,000 mt of Atlantic herring were available for joint venture fishing in 1998. NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertaining to foreign fishing 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-Stevens 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 prepare FMPs that 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 is empowered to prepare FMPs 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, 1998, three Preliminary Fishery Management Plans (PMPs) were in effect, some of which have been amended since first being implemented. The Atlantic swordfish, Atlantic sharks, and Atlantic billfish fisheries are currently being managed by the Secretary under the Magnuson-Stevens Act THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT 101 and the Western Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery is managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act. FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (FMPs) Under section 304 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, all Council-prepared FMPs must be reviewed for approval by the Secretary. After FMPs have been approved under section 304 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, they are implemented by Federal regulations, under section 305 of the Act. As of December 31 , 1 998, there are 39 FMPs in place. Of these, three are Secretarial FMPs for Atlantic highly migratory species. The 36 FMPs the Councils prepared are listed below. The FMPs are amended by the Councils and the amendments are submitted for approval under the same Secretarial review process as new FMPs. Most of the FMPs listed have been amended since initial implementation. Those marked with a double asterisk (**) were amended in 1998.

The documents published include hearing, meeting, correction, and proposed and final rule documents. 102 THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCILS Councils Constituent States Telephone Number Executive Directors and Addresses NEW ENGLAND MID-ATLANTIC SOUTH ATLANTIC (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) (New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina) (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida) 781-231-0422 FAX: 617-565-8937 302-674-2331 FAX: 674-5399 843-571-4366 FAX: 769-4520 Paul J.

These data and summary programs are currently applicable to fisheries conducted in Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters and in the Pacific off of the states of Washington, Oregon, and California; landings for Alaska and Hawaii will be made available at a later date. You can summarize the pounds and dollar value of commercial landings by your choice of years, months, states and species for the years 1990-1997. The volume and value of 1950-1997 landings can be summarized by years, states and species or by years, states, species and fishing gears. You select variable inputs from pull down menus and then click on the "Submit" button to run the summary programs. The "broader" the data request (e.g., the more states or years chosen) the slower the program will run. Simple data requests run in a few seconds while complex queries may take a minute. Please read the caveats associated with these data before using them in any research, report or commercial endeavor. If you have questions about the data or are aware of any errors, write us at our £ mail address We will make other fishery landings, vessel, fishing gear and other information available to users as time permits.

In the Magnuson Act, these species include, but are not limited to, Atlantic and Pacific salmons, steelhead trout, and striped bass. See 42 FR 60682, Nov. 28, 1977. ANALOG PRODUCTS. These include imitation and simulated crab, lobster, shrimp, scallops, and other fish and shellfish products fabricated from processed fish meat (such as surimi). AQUACULTURE. The farming of aquatic organisms in marine, brackish or fresh water. Farming implies private or corporate ownership of the organism and enhancement of production by stocking, feeding, providing protection from predators, or other management measures. Aquaculture production is reported as the weight and value of cultured organisms at their point of final sale. BATTER-COATED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or other forms of fish or shellfish coated with a batter containing a leavening agent and mixture of cereal products, flavoring, and other ingredients, and partially cooked in hot oil a short time to expand and set the batter. BOAT, OTHER. Commercial fishing craft not powered by a motor, e.g., rowboat or sailboat, having a capacity of less than 5 net tons. See motorboat. BREADED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or other forms of fish or shellfish coated with a non-leavened mixture containing cereal products, flavorings, and other ingredients. Breaded products are sold raw or partially cooked. CONSUMPTION OF EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS. Estimated amount of commercially landed fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals consumed by the civilian population of the United States. Estimates are on an edible-weight basis and have been adjusted for beginning and ending inventories of edible fishery products. Consumption includes U.S. production of fishery products from both domestically caught and imported fish, shellfish, other edible aquatic plants, animals, and imported products and excludes exports and purchases by the U.S. Armed Forces. CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RESOURCES. These are living organisms of any sedentary species that at the harvestable stage are either (a) immobile on or under the seabed, (b) unable to move except in constant physical contact with the seabed or subsoil of the continental shelf. The Magnuson Act now lists them as certain abalones, surf clam and ocean quahog, queen conch, Atlantic deep-sea red crab, dungeness crab, stone crab, king crabs, snow (tanner) crabs, American lobster, certain corals, and sponges. CURED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Products preserved by drying, pickling, salting, or smoking; not including canned, frozen, irradiated, or pasteurized products. Dried products are cured by sun or air-drying; pickled or salted products are those products preserved by applying salt, or by pickling (immersing in brine or in a vinegar or other preservative solution); smoked products are cured with smoke or a combination of smoking and drying or salting. DEFLATED VALUE. The deflated values referred to in this document are calculated with the Gross Domestic Products Implicit Price Deflator. The base year for this index is 1 987. BREADED SHRIMP. Peeled shrimp coated with breading. The product may be identified as fantail (butterfly) and round, with or without tail fins and last shell segment; also known as portions, sticks, steaks, etc., when prepared from a composite unit of two or more shrimp pieces whole shrimp or a combination of both without fins or shells. BUTTERFLY FILLET. Two skin-on fillets of a fish joined together by the belly skin. See fillets. CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Fish, shellfish, or other aquatic animals packed in cans, or other containers, which are hermetically sealed and heat-sterilized. Canned fishery products may include milk, vegetables, or other products. Most, but not all, canned fishery products can be stored at room temperature for an indefinite time without spoiling. COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who derives income from catching and selling living resources taken from inland or marine waters. EDIBLE WEIGHT. The weight of a seafood item exclusive of bones, offal, etc. EEZ. See U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. EL NINO. This anomalous ocean warming of the eastern Equatorial Pacific occurs at time intervals varying from 2-10 years. El Nino conditions result in an accumulation of warm water off South America which reduced the upwelling of nutrient-rich water necessary to support fisheries production. These conditions extended northward to the U.S. Pacific Coast. In addition to affecting the food available for fish, El Nino appears to alter the normal ranges, distributions, and migrations of fish populations. EUROPEAN UNION. Belgium and Luxembourg, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and United Kingdom. This was formerly known as European Economic Community (EEC). GLOSSARY 125 EXPORT VALUE. The value reported is generally equivalent to f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value at the U.S. port of export, based on the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation. The value excludes the cost of loading, freight, insurance, and other charges or transportation cost beyond the port of exportation. EXPORT WEIGHT. The weight of individual products as exported, i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, breaded, etc. Includes both domestic and foreign re-exports data. EXVESSEL PRICE. Price received by the harvester for fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals. FISH BLOCKS. Regular fish blocks are frozen blocks or slabs of fillets or pieces of fillets cut or sliced from fish. Minced fish blocks are frozen blocks or slabs of minced flesh produced by a meat and bone separating machine. FISH FILLETS. The sides of fish that are either skinned or have the skin on, cut lengthwise from the backbone. Most types of fillets are boneless or virtually boneless; some may be labeled as "boneless fillets." FISH MEAL. A high-protein animal feed supplement made by cooking, pressing, drying, and grinding fish or shellfish. FISH OIL. An oil extracted from body (body oil) or liver (liver oil) of fish and marine mammals; mostly a byproduct of fish meal production. FISH PORTION. A piece of fish flesh that is generally of uniform size with thickness of 3/8 of an inch or more and differs from a fish stick in being wider or of a different shape. A fish portion is generally cut from a fish block. FISH SOLUBLES. A water-soluble protein byproduct of fish meal production. Fish solubles are generally condensed to 50 percent solids and marketed as "condensed fish solubles." FISH STEAK. A cross-section slice cut from a large dressed fish. A steak is usually about 3/4 of an inch thick. FISH STICK. An elongated piece of breaded fish flesh weighing not less than 3/4 of an ounce and not more than 1- 1/2 ounces with the largest dimension at least three times that of the next largest dimension. A fish stick is generally cut from a fish block. FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan developed by a Regional Fishery Management Council, or the Secretary of Commerce under certain circumstances, to manage a fishery resource in the U.S. EEZ pursuant to the MFCMA (Magnuson Act). FISHING CRAFT. COMMERCIAL. Boats and vessels engaged in capturing fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals for sale. FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who receives more than 50 percent of their annual income from commercial fishing activities, including port activity, such as vessel repair and re-rigging. GROUNDFISH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the sea floor. The term includes a wide variety of bottom fishes, rockfishes, and flatfishes. However, NMFS sometimes uses the term in a narrower sense. In "Fisheries of the United States," the term applies to the following species-Atlantic and Pacific: cod, hake, ocean perch, and pollock; cusk; and haddock. IMPORT VALUE. Value of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs Service according to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. It may be based on foreign market value, constructed value, American selling price, etc. It generally represents a value in a foreign country, and therefore excludes U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States. IMPORT WEIGHT. The weights of individual products as received, i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc. 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. INTERNAL WATER PROCESSING (IWPsl An operation in which a foreign vessel is authorized by the governor of a state to receive and process fish in the internal waters of a state. The Magnuson Act refers to internal waters as all waters within the boundaries of a state except those seaward of the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured. 126 GLOSSARY JOINT VENTURE. An operation authorized under the MFCMA (Magnuson Act) in which a foreign vessel is authorized to receive fish from U.S. fishermen in the U.S. EEZ. The fish received from the U.S. vessel are part of the U.S. harvest 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 a meat-weight basis. 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 territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or the equivalent), to 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. 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. METRIC TONS. A measure of weight equal to 1,000 kilograms, 0.984 long tons, 1.1023 short tons, or 2,204.6 pounds. MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft having a capacity of less than 5 net tons, or not 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 (OYV 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 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. 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 their 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. PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who receives 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 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. GLOSSARY 127 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 (PMPl The Secretary of Commerce prepares a PMP whenever a foreign nation with which the United States has made a Governing International Fishery Agreement (GIFA) submits an application to 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. RE-EXPORTS. Re-exports are commodities which have entered the U.S. as imports and are subsequently exported in substantially the same condition as when originally 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 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. 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 to 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 to as the FCZ (Fishery Conservation Zone). U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by all 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, and foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ under joint venture agreements. U.S. law prohibits vessels constructed or registered in foreign countries to land fish catches at U.S. ports. 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.

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. The USDC Seafood Inspection Division al provides HACCP training, plan development, implementation assistance, and verification service to industry (domestic and foreign) for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with FDA's HACCP rule (21 CFR Parts 123 and 1240; regarding "Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish and Fishery Products" which was implemented December 18, 1997. 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 U.S. Department of Agriculture 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. 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 Seafood Inspection Division and in accordance with federal and state regulations regarding advertising and labeling. Products bearing the USDC official marks have been certified 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" MARK. A new USDC Lot Inspected mark was created to replace the "Officially Sampled" and "Accepted Per Specifications" lot inspection marks used on retail labels. The latter marks were no longer allowed/accepted after September 30, 1997. The use of the new mark meets the needs of both industry and consumers by conveying that the products bearing the mark have been examined by the USDC Program. "RETAIL" MARK. In 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 USDC 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 USDC for proper sanitation and handling of fishery products. PROCESSED " UNDER FEDERAL i INSPECTION % USDC HACCP MARK. 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 USDC-certified employee trained in HACCP principles is also required for each facility/site in the program. Compliance ratings determine frequency of official visits. 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. The USDC has made available a HACCP mark and a "banner" to distinguish products that have been produced under the HACCP-based program. The HACCP banner must be used as an attachment to existing inspection grade marks. Establishments meeting HACCP program requirements may use these marks in conjunction with promotional material, packaging, point-of-sale notices, and menus.
