FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 2008
This publication is a preliminary report for 2008 on
commercial and recreational fisheries of the United
States with landings from the U.S. territorial seas, the 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), with the generous cooperation of the coastal
states, collected and compiled data on U.S. commercial
landings and processed fishery products.
The NMFS Fisheries Statistics Division in Silver Spring,
MD, managed the collection and compilation of recre-
ational statistics, in cooperation with various States and
Interstate Fisheries Commissions, and tabulated and
prepared all data for publication. Sources of other data
appearing in this publication are: U.S. Census Bureau,
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 Agricul-
ture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA
Data on U.S. commercial landings, employment, prices,
production of processed products, and recreational
catches are preliminary for 2008. Final data will be
published in other NMFS Current Fishery Statistics
publications.
The Fisheries Statistics Division of NMFS takes this
opportunity to thank states, industry, and foreign nations
who provided the data that made this publication pos-
sible. Program leaders of the field offices were: Ted
Hawes, Joan Palmer and Joan Barry for the New
England, Middle Atlantic, and Chesapeake; Scott Nelson,
U.S. Geological Survey, Great Lakes States; David
Gloeckner, Guy Davenport, and Jay Boulet for the
South Atlantic and Gulf States; BiUJacobson, for Califor-
nia; David Hamm, for Hawaii and Pacific Islands; Geoff
White at the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistical
Program, Brad Stenberg, data extracted from PacFIN
for Oregon and Washington; and Robert Ryznar and
Camille Kohler of the Alaska Fisheries Information
Network for Alaska.
NOTES
The time series of U.S. catch by species and distance from
shore included in this year's "Fisheries of the U.S." is
estimated by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
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 mol-
lusks 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, deflated exvessel prices are
shown. The deflated value was computed using the
Gross Domestic Products Implicit Price Deflator using
a base year 2000; 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
and insurance from the foreign country to the United
States. 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
The Fisheries Statistics Division wishes to provide the
kinds of data sought by users of fishery statistics, and
welcomes comments or suggestions that will improve
this publication.

U.S. LANDINGS
Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by U.S.
fishermen at ports in the 50 states were 8.3 billion pounds
or 3.8 million metric tons valued at $4.4 billion in 2008 —
a decrease of 983.4. million pounds (down 1 1 percent)
and an increase of $191.6 million (up 5 percent) com-
pared with 2007. Finfish accounted for 87 percent of the
total landings, but only 51 percent of the value. The 2008
average exvessel price paid to fishermen was 53 cents
compared to 45 cents in 2007.
Catches of Alaska pollock, Pacific whiting and other
Pacific groundfish that are processed at-sea aboard U.S.
vessels in the northeastern Pacific are credited as "land-
ings" to the state nearest to the area of capture. Informa-
tion on landing port or percentage of catch transferred
to transport ships for delivery to foreign ports is unavail-
able. These at-sea processed fishery products, on a round
(live) weight basis, exceeded 1.1 million metric tons in
2008 and comprised less than 30 percent of the total
domestic landings in the 50 states.
Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports outside
the 50 states along with Internal Water Processing (IWP)
agreements (see glossary) provided an additional 250.9
million pounds (113,886 metric tons) valued at $89.9
million. This was an increase of 58 percent, or 92.6
million pounds (42,048 metric tons) in quantity and $27.4
million (44 percent) in value compared with 2007. Most
of these landings consisted of tuna, and swordfish landed
in American Samoa and other foreign ports.
Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 states were 6.6
billion pounds (3.0 million metric tons) in 2008 — a
decrease of 856,700 thousand pounds (389 metric tons)
compared with 2007.
Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes
were 1.7 billion pounds (767,639 metric tons) in 2008 —
a decrease of 7 percent compared with 2007.
The 2008 U.S. marine recreational finfish catch (including
fish kept and fish released (discarded)) on the Atlantic,
Gulf, and Pacific coasts was an estimated 463.9 million
fish taken on an estimated 84.8 million fishing trips. The
harvest (fish kept or released dead) was estimated at
196.7 million fish weighing 247.6 million pounds.
WORLD LANDINGS
In 2007, the most recent year for which data are available,
world commercial fishery landings and aquaculture pro-
duction were 140.4 million metric tons — an increase of
3.2 million metric tons compared with 2006.
China was the leading nation with 32.8 percent of the total
harvest followed by India and Peru with 5.2 percent.
Indonesia was the fourth leading producer with 4.5
percent and the United States was fifth with 3.8 percent.
PRICES
The 2008 annual exvessel price index for edible fish
increased by 57 percent, shellfish increased 8 percent
and industrial decreased 12 percent comparing with
2007. Exvessel price indices increased for 26 out of 32
species groups being tracked, decreased for 5 species
groups, and unchanged for 1 species groups. The
yellowfin tuna price index had the largest increase (158
percent) while haddock price index showed the largest
decrease (24 percent).
PROCESSED PRODUCTS
The estimated value of the 2008 domestic production of
edible and nonedible fishery products was $7.6 billion,
$794.9 million less than in 2007. The value of edible
products was $7.0 billion — a decrease of $748.7 million
compared with 2007. The value of industrial products
was $565.8 million in 2008 — a decrease of $46.2 million
compared with 2007.
FOREIGN TRADE
The total import value of edible and nonedible fishery
products was $28.5 billion in 2008 — a decrease of
$320.5 million compared with 2007. Imports of edible
fishery products (product weight) were 5.2 billion pounds
valued at $14.2 billion in 2008 — a decrease of 120.4
million pounds but an increase of $474.6 million com-
pared with 2007. Imports of nonedible (i.e., industrial)
products were $14.3 billion — a decrease of $795.1
million compared with 2007.

■■mMHM^^^B
Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery
products was $23.4 billion in 2008 — an increase of $3.3
billion compared with 2007. United States firms ex-
ported 2.7 billion pounds of edible products valued at
$4.3 billion — a decrease of 219.3 million pounds and a
decreace $1 1.8 million compared with 2007. Exports of
nonedible products were valued at $19.1 billion, $3.3
billion more than 2007.
SUPPLY
The U.S. supply of edible fishery products (domestic
landings plus imports, round weight equivalent, minus
exports) was 11.8 billion pounds in 2008 — a decrease of
655.6 million pounds compared with 2007. The supply
of industrial fishery products was 1.1 billion pounds in
2008 — an increase of 50.2 million pounds compared
with 2007.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION
U.S. consumption of fisher}' products was 16.0 pounds
of edible meat per person in 2008, down 0.3 pound
from the 2007 per capita consumption of 16.3 pounds.
CONSUMER EXPENDITURES
U.S. consumers spent an estimated $69.8 billion for
fishery products in 2008. The 2008 total includes $46.8
billion in expenditures at food service establishments
(restaurants, carry-outs, caterers, etc.); $22.7 billion in
retail sales for home consumption; and $389.4 million
for industrial fish products. By producing and marketing
a variety of fishery products for domestic and foreign
markets, the commercial marine fishing industry contrib-
uted $35.0 billion (in value added) to the U.S. Gross
National Product.

(1) Landings are reported in round (live) weight for all items except univalve and bivalve mollusks such as clams,
oysters, and scallops, which are reported in weight of meats (excluding the shell). Landings for Missisippi River
drainage are not available.
(2) Less than 500 LB, .5MT,or $500. (3) Revised.
2008 does not include Connecticut cultured clam and oyster landings.
NOTE: — Data are preliminary. Landings of Alaska pollock, Pacific whiting, and other Pacific groundfish that are
caught in waters off Washington, Oregon and Alaska and are processed at-sea aboard U.S. vessels are credited
to the State nearest to the area of capture. Data for the current year does not include New Jersey depuration clams
and Rhode Island inshore lobsters. Totals may not add due to roundings. Data do not include landings by U.S.-
flag vessels at Puerto Rico and other ports outside the 50 States. Therefore, they will not agree with "U.S. Com-
mercial Landings" beginning on page 8. Data do not include aquaculture products, except oysters and clams.

Note:-Table may not add due to rounding. Clams, oysters and mussels are reported as meat weights
(excludes shell) while all other species such as shrimp and finfishes are reported as whole (live) weights.
Some clam and oyster production are reported with U.S. commercial landings. Weights and values represent
the final sales of products to processors and dealers. The "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.

U.S. Marine Recreational Fisheries
DATA COLLECTION. 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, 1 996 (PL
104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conserva-
tion and Management Reauthorization Act of 2007 (PL
109-479). In 1981, following 2 years of preliminary
surveys, the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of
marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes
(private/rental boat, party/charter boat, and shore), and
including estuarine and brackish water. Although the
annual recreational harvest is only about 9 percent of the
total U.S. harvest of finfish for states covered by this
program, the fishing activities of millions of anglers are
important to monitor because they are directed at
relatively few species. Marine recreational fishing signifi-
cantly impacts the stocks of many finfish species, and
recreational catches surpass commercial landings of
some species (see figure on preceding page).
METHODS. On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the
US, the recreational fisheries statistics program consists
of a coastal household telephone survey (CHTS), a
telephone survey of for-hire fishing vessel operators
(charter and party boats; FHS), and a field intercept
survey of angler fishing trips. Additional information is
also obtained from state or regional logbook programs
and is used to supplement survey data to produce more
robust catch and effort estimates. The CHTS collects
data on the number of marine recreational fishing trips by
residents of coastal counties. The intercept survey collects
data on the proportion of fishing trips by residents of
non-coastal counties, the species composition of catches,
catch rates by species, and lengths and weights of landed
fish. These data are combined to produce estimates of
catch and effort. Catch estimates are separated into two
categories — harvested catch and catch released alive.
Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported
as dead. Whenever possible, field interviewers identify,
count, weigh, and measure landed fish that are available
in whole form. Angler reports are obtained for catch
released alive and for all other harvested catch, such as
catch released dead, used for bait, or filleted fish. Catch
estimates are stratified by subregion, state, wave (bi-
monthly sampling period), species, fishing mode (pri-
vate/rental boat, party/charter boat, and shore), primary
area fished, and catch type. In addition, estimates of
participation are produced. Texas estimates are from
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recreational survey
data. Alaska conducts an annual mail survey in place of
the NMFS' program.
On the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and California, effort
for the party/charter fishing mode is now estimated
through For- Hire Surveys (FHS). These surveys differ
from the CHTS because they use a telephone survey of
boats as the primary method for estimating fishing
effort. The weekly survey uses directories of charter and
party (head) boats as the sampling frames. These
telephone surveys estimate the number of angler-trips on
boats included in the sampling frames. Dockside and
on-board angler-intercept surveys collect catch data. The
total catch of any one species is calculated as the product
of the adjusted estimate of total angler trips and the
estimated mean catch per trip. Although the FHS
produces separate estimates for charter boat and party
boats on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, for-hire fishing
vessels are not designated by type in California. This
effort methodology was initiated in 2000 on the Gulf
coast, in 2001 on the Pacific coast, and in 2005 on the
Atlantic coast. FHS numbers are included here for the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts and California.
In place of the CHTS, Oregon and Washington conduct
ocean boats surveys to produce catch and effort esti-
mates. Oregon's Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS)
and Washington's Ocean Sampling Program (OSP)
consist of a field intercept survey for effort and catch of
passenger and private boats. Estimates of mean catch per
boat, catch per angler, total angler trips and boat trips are
produced for each port inlet or port group stratified by
time period, type of boat, type of trip and water area.
Catch estimates in numbers of fish and weight are
produced for each species of fish. Shore fishing modes
have not been covered in Oregon and Washington since
2003. Puget Sound estimates for 2003 onward have not
been released
COVERAGE. In 2008, the recreational fishing statistics
program conducted by the NMFS included the Atlantic
coast (ME-East FL), Gulf coast (LA-West FL), Puerto
Rico and Hawaii. Detailed information and access to the
data are available on the Fisheries Statistics web page
(www.st.nmfs.gov/stl). Care is advised when compar-
ing catch estimates across an extended time series because
of differences in sampling coverage through the years.
In the South Atlantic and Gulf sub-regions (NC- LA)
party boat catch data have not been collected since 1985,
so estimates for these sub-regions only include charter
20

boats in the for-hire sector. Marine recreational fishing
in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department and has not been surveyed by the NMFS'
survey program since 1985. Prior to 1998, on the Pacific
coast, ocean boat trips and salmon trips were not
sampled during certain waves because they were sur-
veyed by state natural resource agencies. Alaska conducts
an annual mail survey in place of the NMFS' program.
Harvest, effort and participation data are included, but
not available for the current year. West Pacific U.S.
territories have not been included in the national survey
program since 1981. Hawaii was not surveyed between
1981 and 2002. The U.S. Caribbean was not surveyed
between 1981 and 2000. The numbers reported for
Washington and Oregon for 2005 & 2006 include only
private boat and for-hire-fisheries. Data from other
NMFS and state surveys are not included in this report.
Historically, only about five percent of the annual recre-
ational catch on the Adantic and Gulf coasts is taken
during Wave 1 (J an/ Feb). Costs to sample these months
are very high due to low fishing activity. Therefore, in
Jan/Feb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any
region. In 1982, Jan/Feb data collection resumed on the
Pacific and Gulf coasts and also on the Adantic coast of
Florida. With a few exceptions the recreational statistics
program has not collected data in Jan/Feb on the
Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980.
Time periods when the marine recreational statistics
program has not been conducted: Nov/Dec (ME &
NH) - 1987 to present; Mar/ Apr (ME & NH) - 1986 to
present; Jan/Feb (Northern CA & OR) - 1994; Jan/Feb
(Southern CA & OR) - 1995 Nov/Dec (OR) - 1994;
Nov/Dec (WA shore modes) - 2003; July - Dec (OR
shore modes) - 2003; All Waves (CA - WA) - 1990 to
1993, 2004 to present; All Waves (WA) - 1993 to 1994.
DATA TABLES. The estimated harvests (numbers
and weight of fish) for the continental U.S. and Hawaii
are presented. Numbers of fish harvested and released
alive are also presented for many important species
groups. Estimated harvests are presented by subregion
and primary fishing area: inland [sounds, rivers, bavs],
state territorial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore, except
for Florida's Gulf coast, where state territorial seas
extend to 1 0 miles from shore], and Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) [ocean from the outer edge of the state
territorial seas to 200 miles from shore]. The total
numbers of estimated trips and participants are pre-
sented by state.
2008 MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING
DATA. In 2008, almost 12 million anglers made nearly
85 million marine recreational fishing trips on the Atlan-
tic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The estimated total marine
recreational catch was nearly 464 million fish, of which
almost 58 percent were released alive. The estimated total
weight of harvested catch was almost 248 million pounds.
The Atlantic coast accounted for the majority of trips
(more than 61 percent) and catch (54 percent). The Gulf
coast accounted for almost 30 percent of trips, and nearly
42 percent of the catch. The Pacific coast accounted for
5 percent of trips, and almost 3 percent of the catch.
Nationally, most (nearly 63 percent in numbers offish) of
the recreational catch came from inland waters, nearly 29
percent from state territorial seas, and 8 percent from the
EEZ. The majority of Adantic, Gulf and Pacific trips
fished primarily in inland waters.
ATLANTIC In 2008, nearly 7.5 million residents
participated in marine recreational fishing. All partici-
pants, including visitors, took 52 million trips and caught
a total of over 251 million fish. Almost 22 percent of the
trips were made in east Florida, followed by nearly 14
percent in North Carolina, 13 percent in New Jersey,
more than 1 1 percent in New York, almost 9 percent in
Massachusetts, almost 7 percent in Virginia, and almost
7 percent in Maryland. Together, South Carolina, Con-
necticut, and Rhode Island accounted for almost 12
percent of the trips, and Georgia, Delaware, Maine, and
New Hampshire accounted for the remaining percent-
age. The most commonly caught non-bait species (in
numbers offish) were summer flounder, Adantic croaker,
bluefish, spot, and black sea bass. The largest harvests b\
weight were striped bass, bluefish, dolphinfish, summer
flounder, and Atlantic croaker.
From 1999 to 2008, total annual catch of striped bass has
averaged more than 1 8 million fish. Catch increased until
2006 but has decreased in subsequent years. From the
total catch in 2008 (14 million fish), over 85 percent were
released alive. Over the last ten years, the total annual
catch of summer flounder increased overall from more
than 21 million fish (1999) to almost 25 million fish
(2008). In 2008, summer flounder catch (almost 25
million fish) was more than 6 percent above the 10-year
average of 23 million fish. The species most commonly
caught on Atlantic coast trips that fished primarily in
federally managed waters were black sea bass. Atlantic
cod, dolphinfish, summer flounder, and bluefish. Al-
21
U.S. Marine Recreational Fisheries
most 29 percent of the total Atlantic catch came on
saltwater trips that fished primarily in the state territorial
seas, and nearly 63 percent came on trips that fished
primarily in inland waters.
GULF OF MEXICO. In 2008, nearly 3.2 million
residents participated in marine recreational fishing. All
participants, including visitors, took 25 million trips and
caught nearly 194 million fish. Over 67 percent of the
trips were made in west Florida, followed by 1 8 percent
in Louisiana, almost 7 percent in Alabama, over 4
percent in Texas, and nearly 4 percent in Mississippi. The
most commonly caught non-bait species (numbers of
fish) were spotted seatrout, red drum, gray snapper,
sand seatrout, and gag. The largest harvests by weight
were for spotted seatrout, red drum, sheepshead, red
snapper, gag, and black drum.
From 1 983 to 2008, total annual catch of red snapper has
averaged 1 .2 million fish. Catch declined to a low in 1 990
but has been increasing. From the total catch in 2008
(almost 2.7 million fish), nearly 72 percent were released
alive. Over the last ten years, the total annual catch of king
mackerel declined to a low in 1989 but has been
increasing. In 2008, king mackerel catch (nearly 385,000
fish) was almost 82 percent above the 10-year average of
212,000 fish. The species most commonly caught on
Gulf of Mexico trips that fished primarily in federally
managed waters were red grouper, gag, red snapper,
white grunt, and gray snapper. Over 25 percent of the
total Gulf catch came on trips that fished primarily in the
state territorial seas, and more than 67 percent came on
trips that fished primarily in inland waters.
PACIFIC. In 2008, almost 1.1 million marine recre-
ational fishing participants took almost 4.3 million trips
and caught a total of almost 13 million fish. Almost 95
percent of the trips were made in California, followed by
3 percent in Oregon, and more than 2 percent in
Washington. The most commonly caught non-bait
species (in numbers of fish) were Pacific sardine, black
rockfish, kelp bass, barred surfperch, and barred sandbass.
By weight, the largest harvests were black rockfish,
albacore, California halibut, lingcod, Chinook salmon,
and Pacific halibut.
Over the last ten years, the total annual catch of Chinook
salmon decreased overall from over 778,000 fish in 1 999
to almost 76,000 fish in 2008. In 2008, Chinook salmon
catch (almost 76,000 fish) was nearly 87 percent below
the 10-year average of almost 573,000 fish. From 1999
to 2008, total annual catch of coho salmon has averaged
553,000 fish. Catch increased until 2001 but has de-
creased in subsequent years. From the total catch in 2008
(96,000 fish), nearly 27 percent were released alive. The
most commonly caught Pacific coast species in federally
managed waters were California scorpionfish, Pacific
sanddab, barred sandbass, kelp bass, and vermilion
rockfish. Almost 76 percent of the total Pacific catch
came from trips that fished primarily in the state territorial
seas, and almost 19 percent came from trips that fished
primarily in inland waters.
ALASKA. In 2007, 988,000 marine recreational fishing
participants took nearly 1 .5 million trips and caught a total
of almost 2.5 million fish. Commonly caught fishes
included pacific halibut, rockfishes, lingcod, pacific cod,
and the salmons: chinook, chum, coho, pink and sockeye.
The most abundandy harvested of the salmons were
coho salmon and sockeye salmon. Current year statistics
are not available.
HAWAII. In 2008, nearly 329,000 marine recreational
participants took 2.5 million trips and caught a total of
nearly 4.7 million fish. The most commonly caught non-
bait species (in numbers of fish) were skipjack tuna,
yellowfin tuna, yellowstripe goatfish, hawaiian flagtail,
and bluefin trevally. By weight, the largest harvests were
yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, dolphinfish, wahoo, blue
marlin, and giant trevally.
PUERTO RICO. In 2008, almost 150,000 marine
recreational participants took almost 799,000 trips and
caught a total of 1.5 million fish. The most commonly
caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish) were
dolphinfish, lane snapper, yellowtail snapper, blue run-
ner, and white grunt. By weight, the largest harvests were
dolphinfish, king mackerel, skipjack tuna, lane snapper,
yellowtail snapper, and litde tunny/ Adantic bonito.

Note:-- Data for 2003-2006 are revised. Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 205
countries or areas. The total value of exports is consistently less than the value of imports, probably
because charges for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value, but not in
the export value. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1 . Fish, fresh, chilled or
frozen; 2. Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3. Crustaceans and mollusks, fresh, dried, salted, etc.;
4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk
products 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.

Processed Fishery Products
FRESH AND FROZEN
FISH FILLETS AND STEAKS. In 2008 the U.S.
production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks,
including blocks, was 575.3 million pounds-56.9 million
pounds less than the 632.2 million pounds in 2007 due
primarily to a large decrease in Alaska Pollock. All fillets
and steaks were valued at $1 .3 billion. Despite a decrease
of 1 16.7 million pounds from the 2007 volume, Alaska
pollock fillets and blocks led all species with 284.2 million
pounds— 49 percent of the total. Production of ground-
fish fillets and steaks (see Glossary Section-Groundfish)
was 391.5 million pounds.
FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. The combined
production offish sticks and portions was 286.7 million
pounds valued at $429.6 million compared with the 2007
production of 267.9 million pounds valued at 1405.1
million. The total production offish sticks amounted to
82.3 million pounds valued at $120.0 million. The total
production of fish portions amounted to 204.3 million
pounds valued at $309.5 million.
BREADED SHRIMP. The production of breaded
shrimp in 2008 was 74.2 million pounds valued at $1 59.3
million. This represents a decline from the 2007 produc-
tion of 86.1 million pounds valued at $200.1 million.
CANNED PRODUCTS
CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The pack of
canned fishery products in the 50 states, American
Samoa, and Puerto Rico was 1.3 billion pounds valued
at $1.4 billion — increases from the 2007 pack of 1.1
billion pounds valued at $1.3 billion. The 2008 pack
included 71 3.8 million pounds with a value of $1 .2 billion
for human consumption and 600.5 million pounds
valued at $229.6 million for bait and animal food.
CANNED SALMON. The 2008 U.S. pack of salmon
was 123.9 million pounds valued at $225.3 million,
decreases from the 2007 levels of 142.4 million pounds
valued at $273.5 million.
CANNED TUNA. The U.S. pack of tuna was 473.9
million pounds valued at $844.9 million — strong in-
creases of 37.6 million pounds in quantity and $142.5
million in value compared with the 2007 pack. The pack
of albacore tuna was 180.4 million pounds comprising
38 percent of the tuna pack in 2008. Lightmeat tuna
(bigeye, bluefin, skipjack, and yellowfin) comprised the
remainder with a pack of 293.5 million pounds.
CANNED CLAMS. The 2008 U.S. pack of clams
(whole, minced, chowder, juice, and specialties) was
105.3 million pounds valued at $95.4 million. The pack
of whole and minced clams was 26.6 million pounds.
Clam chowder and clam juice was 77.4 million pounds
and made up the majority of the pack.
OTHER CANNED ITEMS. The pack of pet food and
bait was 600.5 million pounds valued at $229.6 million —
a large increase in volume but a small decrease in value
from the 2007 levels of 371.0 million pounds worth
$233.6 million.
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. The value
of the domestic production of industrial fishery prod-
ucts was $309.8 million — a decrease of $30.1 million
compared with the 2007 value but still above recent
historical levels.
FISH MEAL. The domestic production of fish and
shellfish meal was 492.8 million pounds valued at $1 82.0
million— decreases of 70.4 million pounds and $36.3
million compared with 2007. Most of this production
was fish meal (491.8 million pounds) while shellfish meal
production was 1.1 million pounds — a decrease of 1.0
million pounds from the 2007 level.
FISH OILS. The domestic production offish oils was
190.0 million pounds (approximately 24.5 million
gallons) valued at $63.2 million— increases of 37.8
million pounds and $3.6 million in value compared
with 2007 production.

products, together with agar- agar, animal feeds, crab and
clam shells processed for food serving, fish pellets, Irish
moss extracts, kelp products, dry and liquid fertilizers,
and mussel shell buttons were valued at $64.6 million.

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is
based on a "disappearance" model. The total U.S.
supply of imports and landings is converted to edible
weight and decreases in supply such as exports are
subtracted out. The remaining total is divided by a
population value to estimate per capita consumpdon.
Data for the model are derived primarily from second-
ary sources and are subject to incomplete reporting;
changes in source data or invalid model assumptions may
each have a significant effect on the resulting calculation.
U.S. per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was
16.0 pounds (edible meat) in 2008. This total was 0.3
pounds less than the 16.3 pounds consumed in 2007. Per
capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was
11.8 pounds, 0.3 pound less than in 2007. Fresh and
frozen finfish accounted for 6.2 pounds while fresh and
frozen shellfish consumption was 5.6 pounds per capita.
Consumption of canned fishery products was 3.9 pounds
per capita in 2008, the same as in 2007. Cured fish
accounted for 0.3 pound per capita, the same as in
previous years. Imports of edible seafood made up 83
percent of the consumption.
PER CAPITA USE. Per capita use is based on the
supply of fishery products, both edible and non-edible
(industrial), on a round-weight equivalent basis without
considering beginning or ending stocks, defense pur-
chases, or exports. The per capita use of all edible and
industrial fishery products in 2008 was 63.2 pounds,
down 4.7 pounds compared with 2007.
WORLD CONSUMPTION The FAO calculation
for apparent consumption is based on a disappearance
model. The three year average considers, on a round
weight equivalent basis, a countries landings, imports,
and exports. The 2003-2005 average data indicates that
the United States ranks as the third largest consumer of
seafood in the world.

Per Capita Consumption
U.S. Use
Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based on the supply of fishery products, both edible and
nonedible (industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without considering the beginning or ending stocks,
defense purchases, or exports.
Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data. Per capita consumption figures
represent edible (for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round weight consumption. In addition,
per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does
not include such allowances.
Per capita use is derived by using total population including U.S. Armed Forces overseas. The per capita
consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

Prices
The Exvessel Price table is an index of changes in the
relative dockside value offish and shellfish sold by fishing
vessels. The table indexes the average annual exvessel
value (price per pound) received for each species or
group to the average price per pound received for the
same species or group in the base year 1982.
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 8 thru 13. 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). That
number was then divided by the 1 982 value to obtain the
final index:
(100 x Current price X 1982 quantity) = Index
1982 Annual value
Each index number measures price changes from the
1982 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 1982 would have an index of 75 in
1986. In 2007, if the price of the same species increased
to $1.07, the index in 2008 would be 107.

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-
agement Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), amended on
January 12, 2007 by Public Law 109-479, provides for
the conservation and management of fishery resources
within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It also
provides for fishery management authority over conti-
nental 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 recog-
nized 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). The EEZ encompasses approximately 3.36
million square nautical miles.
GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY
AGREEMENT
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the Secretary of State,
in cooperation with the Secretary of Commerce, nego-
tiates 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 U.S. waters. The process applied to foreign
fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-
tion. As U.S. fishing capacity grew, foreign participation
diminished 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. Until 2001 ,
the last directed fishing by foreign vessels occurred in
1991. However, in 2001, a small quantity of Atlantic
herring was harvested by foreign vessels. The displace-
ment of directed foreign fishing effort in the EEZ
marked the achievement of one of the objectives of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act: the development of the U.S.
fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized
species.
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-
ing to foreign fishing should there be a situation in the
future in which allowing limited foreign fishing in an
underutilized fishery would be advantageous to the U.S.
fishing industry.
FMPs and PMPs
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, eight Regional Fishery
Management Councils are charged with preparing Fish-
ery 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 implemen-
tation. 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.
The Atlantic swordfish, Atlantic sharks, and Atlantic
billfish fisheries are currently being managed by the
Secretary under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and the
Western Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery is managed under
the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Atlantic Tunas Con-
vention Act.
Under section 304 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, all
Council-prepared FMPs must be reviewed for approval
by the Secretary of Commerce. Approved FMPs are
implemented by Federal regulations under section 305 of
the Act. As of December 31, 2008, there are 45 FMPs
in effect. Of these, one is a Secretarial FMP for Atlantic
highly migratory species. The FMPs are listed below,
under the responsible Council. FMPs may be amended
by the Council and the amendments are submitted for
approval under the same Secretarial review process as
new FMPs. Most of the FMPs have been amended since
initial implementation.

LIBRARY INFORMATION
The NOAA Library and Information Network Catalog
(NOAALINC) represents the automated bibliographic
holdings of the NOAA Central Library in Silver Spring,
Maryland and 27 other NOAA libraries located around
the U.S. Currently, the NOAALINC contains records
for more than 250,000 items with 5,000-10,000 added
each year.
NOAALINC provides several search methods to locate
records of items. Users can search for keywords in titles,
subject headings, authors, or series. Users can browse
indexes of titles, subject headings, authors, series, or call
number. Each bibliographic record shows a brief de-
scription of the item with a list of which libraries hold the
item. The list of libraries will show the call number, the
item's specific information, and whether the item is
available for circulation.
NOAALINC is available to anyone, without restriction,
24 hours a day, every day of the year. Visitors to the NOAA
Central Library can access the catalog through worksta-
tions located throughout the Library. Remote users can
access the catalog through a link from the NOAA Central
Library's homepage at http://www.lib.noaa.gov/.
NOAA personnel may contact their nearest NOAA
Library or the NOAA Central Library and arrange to
borrow materials. Members of the general public
should contact their local library to arrange for an
interlibrary loan. Restrictions apply on circulation of
certain materials.

Glossary
ANADROMOUS SPECIES. These are species of
fish that mature in the ocean, and then ascend streams to
spawn in freshwater. In the Magnuson -Stevens 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, pro-
viding 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 pow-
ered 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.
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 contain-
ers, which are hermetically sealed and heat-sterilized.
Canned fishery products may include milk, vegetables, or
other products. Most, but not all, canned fishery prod-
ucts 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.
CONSUMPTION OF EDIBLE FISHERY
PRODUCTS. Estimated amount of commercially
landed fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals con-
sumed by the civilian population of the United States.
Consumption includes U.S. production of fishery prod-
ucts from both domestically caught and imported fish,
shellfish, other edible aquatic plants, animals, and im-
ported products and excludes exports and purchases by
the U.S. Armed Forces.
CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RE-
SOURCES. These are living organisms of any sedentary
species that at the harvestable stage are either (a) immo-
bile 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 -Stevens 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 pre
served by drying, pickling, salting, or smoking; not
including canned, frozen, irradiated, or pasteurized prod-
ucts. 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 prod-
ucts 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 1987.
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 accu-
mulation of warm water oft South America which
reduced the upwelling of nutrient-rich water necessary to
97
Glossary
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. EU 27 Countries: Austria,
Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom
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 trans-
portation cost beyond the port of exportation.
EXPORT WEIGHT. The weight of individual prod-
ucts 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; mosdy a
byproduct of fish meal production.
FISH PORTION. A piece offish 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 "con-
densed 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 his or her
annual income from commercial fishing activities, includ-
ing 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 "Fisher-
ies 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 prod-
ucts as received, i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc.
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items pro
cessed from fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and
animals that are not consumed direcdy by humans. These
items contain products from seaweeds, fish meal, fish
oils, fish solubles, pearl essence, shark and other aquatic
animal skins, and shells.
98
Glossary
INTERNAL WATER PROCESSING (IWPs). 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.
JOINT VENTURE. An operation authorized under
the (Magnuson -Stevens 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-STEVENS FISHERY CONSER-
VATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT, Public
Law 94-265, as amended. The Magnuson-Stevens 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 fin-
fish, 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 be-
yond 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 consump-
tion.
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
Fishety Statistics Survey, and is not intended to represent
a NMFS policy on the sale of angler-caught fish.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY).
MSY from a fishery is the largest annual catch or yield in
terms of weight of fish caught by both commercial and
recreational fishermen that can be taken continuously
from a stock under existing environmental conditions. A
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 OR-
GANIZATION (NAFO). This convention, 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 be-
tween NAFO management measures in this area and
those adopted by the coastal nations within the limits of
their fishery jurisdiction.
OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the MFCMA
(Magnuson Act), OY with respect to the yield from a
fishery, is the amount of fish that (1) will provide the
greatest overall benefit to the United States, with particu-
lar reference to food production and recreational op-
portunities; and (2) is prescribed as such on the basis ot
maximum sustainable yield from such fishery, as modi-
fied by any relevant ecological, economic, or social
factors.
99
Glossary
PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An
individual who receives less than 50 percent of his or her
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 popula-
tion of the United States on July 1 of each year are used.
These estimates are taken from current population re-
ports, published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
PER CAPITA USE. The use of all fishery products,
both edible and nonedible, in the United States divided
by the total population of the United States.
PRELIMINARY FISHERY MANAGEMENT
PLAN (PMP). The Secretary of Commerce prepares a
PMP whenever a foreign nation with which the United
States has made a Governing International Fishery Agree-
ment (GIFA) submits an application to fish in a fisher}'
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 offish 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 sub-
stances), 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 har-
vested by vessels of the United States, as determined by
provisions of the MFCMA.
U.S. EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ).
The MSFCMA (Magnuson-Stevens Act) defines this
zone as contiguous to the territorial sea of the United
States and extending seaward 200 nautical miles mea-
sured 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 land-
ings 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. Estimated disap
pearance of the total supply of fishery products, both
edible and nonedible, on a round-weight basis without
considering beginning or ending stocks, exports, military
purchases, or shipments to U.S. territories.
VESSEL. A commercial fishing craft having a capacity
of 5 net tons or more. These craft are either enrolled or
documented by the U.S. Coast Guard and have an
official number assigned by that agency.
WHOLESALE FISH AND SHELLFISH
PRICES. Those prices received at principal fishery
markets by primary wholesalers (processors, importers,
and brokers) for customary quantities, free on board
(f.o.b.) warehouse.
