PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 1988

This publication is a preliminary report for
1988 on commercial and recreational fisheries of
the United States and foreign catches in the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This annual report
provides timely answers to frequently asked
questions for the previous year.

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 field offices compiled data on
the foreign catch from reports submitted by
designated foreign officials. The NMFS Fisheries
Statistics Division In Silver Spring, MD, managed the
collection and compilation of recreational statistics,
and tabulated and prepared all data for
publication. Sources of other data appearing In this
publication are: U.S. Bureau of the Census, U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.
Customs Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (Rome),
and the countries fishing In the U.S. EEZ.

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA

Data on U.S. commercial and recreational
landings, foreign catches, employment, prices, and
production of processed products are preliminary
for 1988. Final data will be published In Fishery
Statistics of the United States and other NMFS
Current Fishery Statistics publications.

DEFINITIONS - (See Glossary)

As in past issues of this publication, 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 commercial catch Is
exvessel; 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 (Tariff
Commission) and reported by the U.S. Bureau of the
Census.

IMPORTANT FACTS

U.S. LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and
Industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 states
were a record 7.2 billion pounds (3.3 million metric
tons) valued at $3.5 billion in 1988--an Increase of
296.8 million pounds (134,600 metric tons) in
quantity, and an increase of $405.5 million in value
compared with 1987. Landings of major finflsh
species such as Atlantic and Pacific cod, flounders,
Alaska pollock, salmon and tuna increased. The
1988 average exvessel price per pound paid to
fishermen of 49 cents was slightly above the 45
cents they received in 1987. Finflsh accounted for
82 percent of total landings but only 57 percent of
the total value of finflsh and shellfish.

Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at
ports outside the 50 states or transferred in the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) onto foreign vessels
(joint ventures) were an additional 3.8 billion pounds
(1 .7 million metric tons) valued at $489.8 million. This
was a 5 percent, or 209.2 million pound (94,900
metric tons), decrease in quantity and a $47.6
million (11 percent) Increase in value compared
with 1987. Most of these landings consisted of tuna
landed at canneries in Puerto Rico, American
Samoa and other foreign ports and joint venture
catches of Alaska pollock.

Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50
states were 4.6 billion pounds (2.1 million metric
tons) In 1988-an Increase of 642.0 million pounds
(291,200 metric tons) compared with 1987. Landings
of shrimp and clams decreased, but there were
Increases In Alaska pollock, crabs, Atlantic and
Pacific cod, flounders, salmon and tuna.

Landings for reduction and other industrial
purposes were 2.6 billion pounds (1.2 million metric
tons) in 1988-a decrease of 12 percent compared
with 1987.

JOINT VENTURE CATCH IN THE U.S. EEZ. Joint venture
catches by U.S. fishermen unloaded onto foreign
vessels were 3.2 billion pounds (1.5 million metric
tons) valued at $221.1 million. This was a 3 percent
decrease in quantity over 1987, when 3.3 billion
pounds (1.5 million metric tons) were caught,
valued at $202.1 million. The major species were
cod, flounders Pacific hake, and Alaska pollock.

FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. EEZ. The foreign catch of
fish (excluding tunas) and shellfish In the U.S. EEZ
was 61,600 metric tons (135.8 million pounds) in
1988, a 59 percent decrease compared with 1987
and 93 percent below the average for the
preceding 5 years. The U.S. EEZ catch off the North
Atlantic supplied the largest share of foreign catch
(70 percent) followed by California, Oregon and
Washington (30 percent). There were no foreign
catches in the U.S. EEZ off Alaska in 1988.

Atlantic mackerel comprised 70 percent of the
foreign catch; Pacific hake, 29 percent; and other
fish and shellfish the remainder.

Poland was the leading nation fishing In the
U.S. EEZ with a catch of 28.1 thousand metric tons,
46 percent of the total foreign catch. The German
Democratic Republic was the second leading
nation fishing in the U.S. EEZ, with 21.1 thousand
metric tons representing 34 percent of the catch In
1988.

The 1988 foreign catch in the Pacific U.S. EEZ
was 18,300 metric tons, 32,100 metric tons (64
percent) less than 1987. Pacific whiting, 18,000
metric tons (98 percent of the total), was the
leading species followed by rockfishes, 149.1 metric
tons (1 percent). Poland was the only country
fishing In the California, Oregon, and Washington
area In 1988.

Foreign catches In the North Atlantic U.S. EEZ In
1988 were 43,300 metric tons, 13,700 metric tons (46
percent) more than the 1987 catch of 29,500 metric
tons. The German Democratic Republic had the
highest catch with 21,100 metric tons (49 percent),
followed by the Netherlands with 12,400 metric tons
(29 percent). Atlantic mackerel catches amounted
to 42,900 metric tons (99 percent).

U.S. VS. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. EEZ. The combined
catch by U.S. and foreign vessels in the U.S. EEZ was
3.0 million metric tons in 1988, similar to 1987.
However, the U.S. share was 93 percent of the
total, down 2 percentage points from 1987.

WORLD LANDINGS. In 1987, the most recent year
for which data are available, world commercial
fishery landings were a record 93.0 million metric
tons-an increase of 631,000 metric tons (1 percent)
compared with 1986. Japan continued to be the
leading nation with 13 percent of the total catch;
the USSR, second with 12 percent; China, third with
10 percent; followed by the United States with 6
percent; and Chile with 5 percent.

PRICES. The procedure for calculating the Index of
Exvessel Prices for all fish and shellfish was reviewed
and modified In 1986. The Index has been
recalculated with a new market basket and 1986 as
the base year. The 1988 annual exvessel price
Index for edible fish and shellfish Increased 31
percent from 1987. The annual Index for Industrial
fish decreased 2 percent from 1987.

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The 1988 estimated value of
the domestic production of edible and nonedible
fishery products was $5.4 billion, $582.5 million (10
percent) less than the $6.0 billion in 1987. The value
of edible products was $5.0 billion— a decrease of

IMPORTANT FACTS

$613.5 million (11 percent) compared with 1987.
The value of Industrial products was $328.3 million In
1988~an Increase of $31,0 million (10 percent)
compared with 1987.

FOREIGN TRADE. The total Import value of edible
and nonedlble fishery products was a record $8.9
billion In 1988-an Increase of $54.3 million (1
percent) compared with 1987. Imports of edible
fishery products (product weight) were 3.0 billion
pounds (1.3 million metric tons) valued at $5.5 billion
in 1988-a decrease of 230.2 million pounds (7
percent) In quantity and $251.8 million (4 percent)
in value compared with 1987. Imports of nonedlble
(Industrial) products also set a value record In 1988,
with products valued at $3.4 bllllon-an Increase of
$306.1 million (10 percent) compared with 1987.

Total export value of edible and nonedlble
fishery products of domestic origin was a record
$2.3 billion In 1988-an increase of $614.2 million (37
percent) compared with 1987. United States firms
exported 1.1 billion pounds (482,500 metric tons) of
edible products valued at $2.2 blllion-an Increase
of 280.9 million pounds (127,400 metric tons) In
quantity and $584.0 million in value compared with
1987. Exports of nonedible products were valued at
$113.0 million. $30.2 million more than 1987. The
$221.1 million received for U.S.-flag vessel catches
transferred onto foreign vessels In the U.S. EEZ In joint
venture operations are not Included In the export
statistics.

SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight
equivalent) was 10.5 billion pounds (4.8 million
metric tons) In 1988-a decrease of 56.0 million

pounds (1 percent) compared with the record
supply In 1987. The change reflects a decrease of
1 1 percent In Imports and an increase of 1 6
percent In domestic commercial landings. The
supply of industrial fishery products was 4.1 billion
pounds (1.9 million metric tons) In 1988-a decrease
of 1.1 billion pounds (20 percent) compared with
1987. Domestic commercial landings for Industrial
products of 2.6 billion pounds (1.2 million metric
tons) were 597.0 million pounds less than the record
of 3.2 billion pounds set In 1983.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of
fishery products was 15.0 pounds of edible meat
per person In 1988, down 0.4 pound from 1987.

CONSUMER EXPENDITURES. U.S. consumers spent an
estimated $28.8 billion for fishery products In 1988.
The total Includes $19.7 billion In expenditures In
food service establishments (restaurants, carry-outs,
caterers, etc.); $8.9 billion In retail stores (for home
consumption); and $214.0 million for Industrial fish
products. In producing and marketing a variety of
fishery products for domestic and foreign markets,
the commercial marine fishing Industry contributed
$17.0 billion (In value added) to the U.S. Gross
National Product (GNP).

The estimates of consumer expenditures and
Industry contribution to GNP are derived from a
model developed for NMFS. The model replaces
an earlier version which was the basis for estimates
last published In "Fisheries of the U.S., 1982." The
latter estimates were for 1981 and showed $13.5
billion In consumer expenditures on fishery products,
and a $7.6 billion Industry contribution to GNP.

$8.8 billion of fishery products were Imported,

EXPORTS. U.S. exports of edible fishery products of
domestic origin were a record 1.1 billion pounds
valued at a record $2.2 billion, compared with 782.9
million pounds at $1.6 billion exported In 1987. The
$221.1 million received for U.S.-flag vessel catches
transferred onto foreign vessels In the U.S. EEZ In joint
venture operations are not included In the export
statistics. Fresh and frozen items were 940.3 million
pounds valued at $1.8 billion, an Increase of 245.6
million pounds and $501.6 million compared with
1987. Fresh and frozen exports consisted principally
of 294.1 million pounds of salmon valued at $830.4
million and 94.0 million pounds of herring valued at
$94.9 million. Canned Items were 62.2 million
pounds valued at $142.1 million, up 8.6 million
pounds and $21.8 million from 1987 levels. Salmon
was the major canned item exported, with 32.9
million pounds valued at $91 .6 million. The dramatic
Increase of canned sardines, 8.6 million pounds
valued at $7.9 million In 1988 as compared to the
1987 volume of 999,000 pounds valued at $688,000,
Is due to an aberration In the methodology of
tracking exports to and reentry from a foreign
nation. Cured Items were 60.7 million pounds
valued at $182.8 million, an Increase of 26.4 million
pounds. Cured exports consisted mainly of salmon
and herring roe, which amounted to 36.1 million
pounds valued at $124.6 million.

Exports of nonedlble products were valued at
$113.0 million - $30.2 million more than the $82.8
million exported In 1987. Exports of fishmeal
amounted to 246.3 million pounds valued at $23.4
million. Increases of 142.9 million pounds and $10.2
million compared with 1987. Fishmeal exports
accounted for 21 percent of the value of total
nonedlble exports In 1988. The total value of edible
and nonedlble exports was $2.3 billion - an
Increase of $614.2 million compared with 1987.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

DATA COLLECTION. While data on commercial
fisheries have been collected for many years,
detailed statistical information on marine
recreational fishing is also required to support a
variety of fishery management and development
purposes. These include the objectives of the
Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, Public Law 94-265, as amended. However, the
lack of a continuous or systematic collection of
marine recreational fishery data had prevented the
accomplishment of these goals. Therefore, NMFS
began a new comprehensive Marine Recreational
Fishery Statistical Survey (MRFSS) In 1979. Surveys
have been conducted in the following areas and
years:

Atlantic and Gulf, 1979 through 1988
Pacific, mid-1979 through 1988
Western Pacific, 1979 through 1981
Caribbean, 1979, 1981

Preliminary estimates of catch and trips from the
MRFSS for the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coast for
1988 are presented In the tables below. Summary
graphs for 1979-1988 catch and trips are also
shown. The survey Is being conducted In 1989
along the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts.

These survey use an Intercept survey of
fishermen in the field and an Independent
telephone survey of households. Each component
survey provides certain Information that is combined
to produce estimates of recreational catch, fishing
effort and participation. Estimates are generated
by subreglon or state, species, mode and area of
fishing. In addition. Information on catch rates and
fish lengths and weights Is obtained.

The MRFSS is only one of several NMFS
efforts to obtain data on recreational fisheries.
Specialized surveys on particular fisheries or to
obtain socio-economic data are also conducted by
NMFS.

DATA TABLES. The MRFSS catch data show the total
number of fish caught for twenty of the most
frequently caught species groups In each survey
area. Total number caught Includes those fish
brought ashore In whole form which were available
for identification, weighing, and measuring as well
as those not available for identification. This latter
category Includes those fish used for bait,
discarded, filleted or released alive. Each fisheries
group may contain one or more species, genera, or
families.

Several tables show the distribution of total
catch by subreglon, fishing area and mode. The
fishing areas are: ocean 3 miles or less from land,
ocean more than 3 miles from land, and Inland
(sounds, river, bays). However, ocean data for the

Gulf coast of Florida are reported as 10 miles or less
from land and more than 10 miles from land.

The fishing modes are: shore (man-made
structures and beach/bank from previous surveys),
party/charter boat, and private/rental boat.
However, partyboats were not sampled In the South
Atlantic and Gulf subreglons, so party/charter
estimates Include only charterboats in these areas.

The fishing trip table Indicates the estimated
number of trips by coastal residents (generally
residing within 25 miles of the coast), non-coastal
residents of the subreglon bordering saltwater, and
non-residents.

The 1988 survey did not include Texas or
January and February period for Atlantic coast
states north of North Carolina. Pacific coast salmon
fishing trips and catches were not included as a
result of a cooperative arrangement with the
Pacific coast states. These states had ongoing
salmon data collection efforts which estimated a
Pacific coast total salmon catch of approximately
1.2 million fish In 1986. The data presented below
will be finalized in separate marine recreational
fishery reports to be published later this year.

PRELIMINARY 1988 MRFSS DATA. The U.S. marine
recreational finflsh catch In 1988 (excluding Alaska,
Hawaii, and Pacific coast salmon) was an estimated
372.0 million fish. These fish weighed approximately
612.8 million pounds and were taken on an
estimated 79.7 million fishing trips. The estimated
number of U.S. marine recreational fishermen has
been relatively stable over the last few years at 17
million. Excluding catches of freshwater and
Industrial species (such as anchovies and
menhaden), the marine recreational catch
comprised approximately 20 percent of the total
U.S. finfish landings of species used for food In 1988.

The Atlantic and Gulf coasts accounted for
approximately 86 percent of the total U.S. marine
recreational finfish catch by number. Eighty-four
percent of the estimated U.S. trips were made on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Approximately 17 percent of the total U.S.
catch by number was made in the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ), the principal area of NMFS
management authority. However, for some species
(e.g., red snapper) over 70 percent of the catch
was made In the EEZ.

The private/rental boat mode accounted for
68 percent of the total U.S. marine recreational
finfish catch In number. Shore mode catches were
23 percent of the total and party/charter catches
(excluding South Atlantic and Gulf partyboats) were
9 percent of the total.

Atlantic and Gulf. In terms of number of fish,
spotted seatrout was the most frequently caught
species on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts In 1988.
Other frequently caught species In 1 988 were
summer flounder, Atlantic croaker and blueflsh.
Top-ranked species in each subregion In 1988 were
scup In the North Atlantic, summer flounder in the
Mid-Atlantic, spot In the South Atlantic, and spotted
seatrout in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf (40
percent) and Middle Atlantic (32 percent)
subreglons accounted for the highest numbers of
Atlantic and Gulf coast fishes.

The inland, ocean 3 miles or less from shore,
and ocean 10 miles or less from shore areas
accounted for approximately 84 percent of the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts catch in number. The
remaining 16 percent of the catch in number was
from the EEZ.

Seventy-one percent of the Atlantic and
Gulf coast catches was taken In the private/rental
boat mode in 1988. However, other modes were
Important for particular species such as king
mackerel from the charter boat mode and
klngfishes from the shore mode.

Coastal residents accounted for 73 percent
of the Atlantic and Gulf trips made In 1988. Non-
residents accounted for an additional 22 percent of
the trips. Total trips In the South Atlantic exceeded
all other subreglons. This distribution of trips was
similar to previous years.

Pacific. The catch in number of Pacific mackerel
was the highest of any species on the Pacific coast
in 1988. Top-ranked species groups In each
subregion were Pacific mackerel In Southern
California, rockflshes In Northern California and
Washington, and black rockfish In Oregon. Southern
California accounted for 56 percent of the Pacific
coast catch In number.

The ocean 3 miles or less from shore area had
the highest catch in number (49 percent) on the
Pacific coast In 1988. The Pacific coast portion of
the catch in the ocean more than 3 miles from
shore (21 percent) was similar to the 16 percent for
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts EEZ.

The overall catch among fishing modes was
more evenly distributed on the Pacific coast than
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Percentage
catches in number of fish were 50 percent for
private/rental boats, 27 percent for shore, and 23
percent for party/charter boats.

The percentage of trips by coastal residents (89
percent) was higher on the Pacific coast than the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts (73 percent). Forty-eight
percent of the Pacific coast trips In 1988 were In
the Southern California subregion. Considering that
an additional 32 percent of the trips were made in
the Northern California subregion, 80 percent of the
non-salmon Pacific coast trips in 1988 were made in
California.

U.S. EEZ (joint ventures), and the weight of mollusk shells. (2) Includes diadromous, salmon and other
anadromous fishes, and catadromous fishes such as eels.

Note: — There are 2,204.6 pounds in a metric ton. Prior to 1970, the world commercial catch of whales and

seals is excluded. For the years 1970-1986, data for marine mammals and aquatic plants are excluded. There

is a revision in the total world commercial catch back to 1970 as published in FAO Yearbook of Fishery

Statistics, Vol. 48 and 50. However, prior to 1974, data on freshwater and marine catches were not revised.
Therefore, for the years 1970 to 1973, data will not add to the grand total.

(1) Revised. (2) Estimated by FAO.

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

(2) Fresh and frozen fish consumption from 1910 to 1928 is estimated. Beginning in 1973, data include
consumption of artificially cultivated catfish.

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

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

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

(6) Domestic landings data used in calculating these data are preliminary. *Record.

Note: — These consumption figures refer only to consumption of fish and shellfish enterinq commercial
channels, and they do not include data on consumption of recreat ionally caught fish and shellfish which
since 1970 is estimated to be between 3 to 4 pounds (edible meat) per person annually. The figures are
calculated on the basis of raw edible meat, i.e. excluding bones, viscera, shells, etc. From 1970 through
1980 data, were revised to reflect the results of the 1980 census.

PER CAPITA
U.S. USE

81

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 page 67).

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see page 77). Per capita
consumption figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round weight
consumption. In addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and ending stocks, and
ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does not include such allowances.

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

(1) Data include U.S. commercial landings and imports of both edible and nonedible (industrial) fishery
products on a roundweight basis. "Total supply" is not adjusted for beginning and ending stocks, defense
purchases, or exports.

(2) Domestic landings data used in calculating these data are preliminary.

Note: — From 1970 through 1980, population and per capital utilization data were revised to reflect the results
of the 1980 census.

PRICES

The procedures for calculating the Index of
Exvessel Prices for all fish and shellfish was
reviewed and modified in 1986. Major changes in the
U.S. fishing industry had occurred since the index
was originally designed. The result was that the
"market basket" or group of species used to
calculate the index was no longer representative of
the trends for all fish and shellfish. The index
has been recalculated with a new market basket and
1986 as the base year.

In the table that follows, the exvessel price
for any given year was obtained by dividing total
value by total quantity as reported in the catch by
species in the distance from shore tables. The
index for each species or group was obtained by

multiplying the current annual price by the total
quantity caught in 1986 (the base year). That
number was then divided by the 1986 value to obtain
the final index:

(Current price X 1986 quantity)
1986 Annual Value

Index

Each index number calculated for years other
than the base year of 1986 measures price changes
from the reference period (1986) which equals 1.00.
A species of fish that sold for $0.75 a pound in
1982 and a $1.00 a pound in 1986 would have an index
of 0.75 in 1982. In 1988, if the price of the same
species increases 5 percent to $1.05, the index in
1988 would be 1.05.

Note.— The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin, value added, and sales. These measures are
consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions.

Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an
equivalent weight of the product. (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying a purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel
price is considered margin.)

Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process. It is defined as the gross receipts of firms
minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the product. Value added is thereby a measure of the value of production which eliminates double
counting inherent in sales figures of firms active in the marketing channels through which goods are transformed and move to the final consumer. Gross National
Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy. Value added within a sector (e.g. commercial marine fishing)
represents that sector's contribution to GNP.

Value added includes wages, salaries, interest, depreciation, rent, taxes and profit. Value added is part of the margin, but margin includes various purchased
goods (e.g. containers and non-seafood ingredients) and services (e.g. transportation, insurance, repairs) not included in value added.

Annual sales is the value of seafood sales at the various maket levels. Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores
and food service outlets.

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION
AND MANAGEMENT ACT

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act. Public Law 94-266 as amended, provides for the conservation
and management of all fishery resources within the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) except highly migratory species of tuna. 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
twoStates) to 200nautical miles from shore. The seaward bounda-
ries of Texas, Puerto Rico, and the Gulf coast of Florida are 3 marine
leagues (9 nautical miles).

GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS

Under the Magnuson Act, the U.S. Department of State,
with cooperation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce,
negotiates Governing International Fishery Agreements (GIFAs)
with foreign countries wishing to fish within the EEZ. After a GIFA is
signed, it Is transmitted by the President to the Congress for review.

FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS

Vessels of foreign nations which have GIFAs with the
United States may fish in the EEZ for species managed under the
Magnuson Act after receiving an allocation of that species and a
valid fishing permit. After a GIFA is in force, a foreign nation must
submit a permit application to the U.S. Department of State for
each vessel to fish in the EEZ. Permit applications must also be
made for foreign vessels to receive U.S. harvested fish in the EEZ,
and to conduct any other operation in support of the catching,
taking, or harvesting offish in the EEZ. The U.S. Department of State
provides copies of the applications to the Congress, the U.S. Coast
Guard, the appropriate Regional Fishery Management Councils,
and to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries of the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) with its recommendations. The
NMFS also receives recommendations from the Regional Fishery
Management Councils and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as the
general public.

The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries reviews recom-
mendations bearing on approval of each application and, after
consulting with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Coast
Guard, may approve an application in whole or in part. Any
conditions and restrictions on the approval of an application are
sent to the foreign nation through the U.S. Department of State,
and must be accepted by the nation before a permit is issued.

FEES

Foreign nations engaged in fisheries subject to U.S. juris-
diction are charged permit fees, poundage fees, a foreign fee
surcharge, and an observer fee. An incremental fee may also be
charged, which is a percentage of the poundage fee from any
country found not to be cooperating in the conservation and
development of U.S. fishery resources.

The permit fees in 1 988 recovered costs of issuing permits,
based upon a standard administrative charge of $354 for each
foreign permit application. Poundage fees are charged for the
fish harvested by foreign vessels. Poundage fees vary in relation to
the exvessel values of the species harvested by a nation's vessels.

Poundage fees are not currently charged for U.S. harvested fish
received by foreign vessels. Collections from 1988 poundage fees
were expected to continue to decrease as foreign fishing falls to
very low levels.

The surcharge is to capitalize a fund to compensate U.S.
fishermen operating in the EEZ whose vessels or gear are lost or
damaged because of conflicts with foreign vessels. The surcharge
on poundage and permit fees was waived in 1988 because the
fund was fully capitalized.

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.

No incremental fees were paid in 1988.

FOREIGN ALLOCATIONS

The total allowable level of foreign fishing (TALFF), if any,
for any fishery subject to the exclusive fishery management au-
thority 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 is reviewed during each fishing season.
Adjustments to TALFFs are based on updated information relating
to status of stocks, estimated and actual performance of domes-
tic and foreign fleets, and other relevant factors.

FMPsandPMPs

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

The Secretary of Commerce is also empowered to pre-
pare plans. 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 plan covers domestic and foreign
fishing.

As of December 31,1 988, six Preliminary Fishery Manage-
ment Plans (PMPs) were in effect, many of which have been
amended since first being implemented.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (FMPs)

Under section 304 of the Magnuson Act, all Council
prepared FMPs must be reviewed by the Secretary of Commerce.
After FMPs have been approved under section 304 of the Magnu-
son Act, they are implemented by federal regulations, under
section 305 of the Act. During 1988, three new FMPs were adopted
by Councils, submitted for Secretarial review and approved. As
of December 31 , 1988, there are 30 fishery management plans in place.
The FMPs are listed below, and those marked with an asterisk (*) were
approved and implemented during 1988. After implementation, many
FMPs are amended by the Council and submitted for approval under the
same Secretarial review process as new FMPs. Many of the Plans listed
have been amended since initial implementation. Those marked with a
double asterisk (**) were amended in 1988.

tions and rules for foreign fishing. This number includes hearing,

red crab, dungeness crab, stone crab, king crabs,
snow (tanner) crabs, American lobster, certain
corals, and sponges.

CURED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Products preserved by

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.

EXVESSEL PRICE. Price received by the harvester for
fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals.

"FISH AND CHIPS". This United States fisheries policy
links foreign fishing privileges In U.S. EEZ to foreign
country contributions to the development of the U.S.
fishing industry. These Include reductions of foreign
tariff and non-tariff barriers that restrict Importation
of fishery products, and other cooperation In
advancing opportunities for fishery trade. This policy
was incorporated Into the foreign nation species
allocation process as a matter of law by the 1980
amendments to the Magnuson Act.

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

112

GLOSSARY

slabs of minced flesh produced by a meat and

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 jurisdiction to 200 miles
under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act of 1 976 (MFCMA). See Northwest
Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO).

JOINT VENTURE. An operation authorized under the

vessel. 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

GLOSSARY

113

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

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 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.

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
2204.6 pounds.

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.

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."

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

PER CAPITA USE. The use of all fishery products,
both edible and nonedlble. 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 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.

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.

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

114

GLOSSARY

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. gj FISHERY PRODUCTS.

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

Federal Inspection Marks
For Fishery Products

FISHERY PRODUCTS ARE
VOLUNTARILY INSPECTED. Beef
and poultry, as well as many
other perishable food items, are
federally inspected 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 processor,
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 identification.

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 inspectors
licensed by the USDC 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 standards under
the supervision of the USDC's
voluntary inspection service. The
functions symbolized by each
mark follow:

"U.S. GRADE" MARK.

The "U.S. Grade" mark
that:

signifies

1. The product is clean, safe,
and wholesome.

2. The product is of a specified
quality, identified by the
appropriate U.S. Grade
designation, as determined by a
federally-licensed inspector in
accordance with established
requirements in U.S. Grade
Standards.

3. 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 federally-
licensed food inspectors and
packed in accordance with
specific Good Manufacturing
Practice Requirements.

statement signifies that the
properly labeled product is clean,
safe, and wholesome and has
been produced in an
acceptable establishment with
appropriate equipment under the
supervision of federally- licensed
inspectors. The product has not
been graded as to a specific
quality level; rather, it is an
acceptable commercial quality
as determined by Federal
inspectors in accordance with
approved standards or
specifications.
