PREFACE
This report contains a review of U.S. commercial fishery statistics for the calendar year 1975.
These statistics include data on the volume and value of landed catches, employment, quantity of gear
operated, and number of fishing craft. Also included are data on the volume and value of production of
processed fishery products, freezings and cold storage holdings, and foreign trade in fishery commodities.
Landings data do not include production of artificially cultivated fish or shellfish, except oysters.
Landings data include neither the marine or freshwater catches made for sport or personal use including those
by Aleuts, Eskimos, and Indians, nor landings by foreign fishing vessels in U.S. ports, nor imports. They
include landings made by U.S. fishing vessels at foreign ports for transshipment to the United States under
bond or as "Products of American Fisheries."
Unless otherwise noted, landings data are only for the 50 States. Landings in Puerto Rico are shown
separately in Section 11. Data on production of processed products are for the 50 States, Puerto Rico, and
American Samoa.
Weights in all of the U.S. landings tables in this report, except the one entitled, "U.S. Landings,
1975-Live Weight Basis," are in round (live) weight, excluding weight of shells. Weights shown for univalve
and bivalve mollusks (conchs, clams, oysters, scallops, et al.) represent the weights of meats. The weight of
shells omitted from the catch in 1975 was about 1.2 billion pounds. It should be noted, however, that the data
in the table "World Landings of Fish, Crustaceans, Mollusks, et al., by Countries" are shown on a live weight
basis with shell weights included.
Values of the landings are gross dollar returns to the fishermen, and are known as "exvessel prices."
The values shown for the processed fishery products are the gross amounts received by the producer at the
production point; no deductions are made for commission or expenses.
All appropriate records coOected by the various State fishery agencies were used in assembling data
on the fisheries. In certain areas, information complete enough to be used by the statistical agents was
available from State agencies, and in these States, only partial surveys were made. Information on the means
of collecting the data and an explanation of terms used may be found in Section 14 of this publication.
Complete statistical surveys covering the fisheries of the United States were made by the National
Marine Fisheries Service in aU areas for 1970-75. The first complete survey of the fisheries of the United
States was made by the Bureau of Census for 1908. Others were made by the Bureau of Fisheries and the Fish
and WildUfe Service for the years 1931, 1950, 1954-60, and 1962-69.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

SECTION 1 - GENERAL REVIEW
In 1975, commercial fishery landings at U.S. ports were 4.9 billion pounds worth a record $976.6
million. The volume landed was 2 percent less than in 1974, but the value was 5 percent greater than in 1974
and 4 percent greater than in 1973, the former record year. Landings declined for several major species such
as menhaden, albacore and yeUowfin tuna, shrimp, chum and silver salmon, yellowtail flounder, clams,
alewives, and Atlantic ocean perch. However, landings of bluefin tuna, anchovies, whiting, and jack mackerel
increased significantly.
U.S.-flag vessels also landed 184.1 million pounds valued at $52.5 at ports outside the United
States in 1975. These landings consisted principally of tuna at ports in Puerto Rico and shrimp at ports in the
Caribbean area.
Fishermen took 931.5 million pounds of shellfish worth $492.2 million, an average of 53 cents
per pound— 10 cents per pound more than in 1974. Shellfish accounted for 50 percent of the value, but only 19
percent of the volume of landings of fish and shellfish in the United States. The value of shellfish landings
exceeded the value of finfish landings in the Atlantic, Gulf,and the Pacific. Data on shellfish landings do not
include the weight of the shells of clams, oysters, and other mollusks. (See Section 1.— General Review, "U.S.
landings, live weight basis.")
Per capita consumption. The per capita consumption of commercially caught fish and shellfish was 12.1
pounds of fish (edible weight) in 1975, down slightly from the 12.2 pounds in 1974. For the fourth consecutive
year, fish consumption remained above 12 pounds per person.

Note:— Per capita consumption represents the pounds consumed of edible U.S. production
from both domestically caught and imported fish and shellfish adjusted for the beginning
and ending inventories, imports, exports, and military purchases, divided by the civilian
resident population of the United States on July 1 of each year. These consumption
figures refer only to consumption of fish and shellfish entering commercial channels, and
do not include amounts harvested and consumed by recreational fishermen.
Principal States. Louisiana again led the nation in volume of landings with 1.1 billion pounds— 23 percent of
all U.S. landings. California was second with 875.0 million pounds, followed by Virginia with 444.8 million
pounds; Alaska, 444.1 million pounds; Mississippi, 309.6 million pounds; and Massachusetts, 273.8 million
pounds.
California led aU States in exvessel value of landings with $134.7 million— 14 percent of the
totaL Alaska was next with $129.7 million; followed by Texas with $93.6 million; Louisiana, $89.0 million;
and Massachusetts, $82.9 million.
Principal ports. San Pedro, Calif., led all ports in volume of landings with 606.8 million pounds. Cameron,
La., was second with 395.0 million pounds, followed by Pascagoula-Moss Point, Miss., 242.6 million pounds;
Dulac-Chauvin, La., 204.2 million pounds; Empire, La., 176.9 million pounds; Morgan City, La., 140.2 million
pounds; and Gloucester, Mass., 126.4 million pounds.
GENERAL REVIEW
Fishermen and vessels. In the United States, 168,013 fishermen operated 16,211 vessels (5 net tons or more)
and 86,983 other craft in 1975. This was an increase of 6,652 fishermen, 320 vessels, and 1,638 other craft
compared with 1974.
Processed products. See "Processed fishery products" in this section.
Alewives. Landings were 58.9 million pounds valued at $1.2 million, down 16 percent in volume and 19
percent in value compared with 1974. Production in Lake Michigan of 35.2 million pounds declined 23
percent; Chesapeake, 12.1 million pounds, 18 percent; South Atlantic, 6.0 million pounds, 5 percent; and
Middle Atlantic, 25,000 pounds, declined 4 percent. Landings in the New England States were 5.6 million
pounds, up 55 percent from 1974. The Gulf States had no production of alewives in 1975.
Anchovies. See Section 7.— Pacific Coast Fisheries.
Clams. Landings yielded 113.4 million pounds (meat weight) valued at $43.4 millionja decrease of 7 percent in
volume, but an increase of 5 percent in value compared with 1974. The principal reason for the decline in
harvest was a decline of 9 million pounds (10 percent) in surf clam landings.
Surf clams were 77 percent of the total clam landings but only 29 percent of the value. Virginia
led in surf clam landings with 39.1 million pounds, 33 percent less than in 1974. New Jersey was second with
35.6 million pounds of meats, up 57 percent from the previous year. Virginia and New Jersey accounted for
86 percent of the total surf clam landings in 1975.
Hard clams led in value of landings with 49 percent of the total, but only accounted for 13
percent of the total volume. Surf clams were second in value with 29 percent of the total. Soft clams were
third in both volume (8 percent) and value (20 percent). The remaining 2 percent of clam landings consisted
of cockle, geoduck, ocean quahog, razor, and mixed clams. The Middle Atlantic States led in both volume (47
percent) and value (51 percent) of landings followed by the Chesapeake States with 41 percent of the total
volume and 21 percent of the total value.
Crabs. Landings of all species of crabs were 306.1 million pounds valued at $81.0 million, down 8 percent in
volume and 5 percent in value compared with 1974. Landings of all species of crabs declined except for
dungeness, king, and rock crabs. Landings of hard blue crabs were 134.7 million pounds— down 10 percent
from 1974, the record year. In the Chesapeake States, landings of hard blue crabs (59.1 million pounds)
decreased 10 percent; landings in the South Atlantic States (30.5 million) decreased 20 percent; and landings
in the Gulf States (38.7 million pounds) decreased 4 percent. However, landings from the Middle Atlantic
States of 6.4 million pounds increased 29 percent over 1974. Virginia led in production with 34.8 million
pounds, followed by Maryland with 24.3 million and Louisiana with 17.1 million pounds. The three States
together accounted for 25 percent of the total landings of hard blue crabs. Dungeness crab landings were 18.4
million pounds worth $11.4 million— 31 percent more in volume and 23 percent more in value than 1974.
Landings of king crab (97.6 million pounds) increased 3 percent, and were the highest since 1968. The snow
crab fishery (46.9 million pounds) showed a 27-percent decrease in landings in 1975, mainly because of poor
market conditions and high inventories in cold storage. A price dispute between fishermen and buyers almost
halted snow crab fishing during part of the 1975 fishing season.
Flounders. Landings were 161.6 million pounds valued at $44.3 million, a decrease of 815,000 pounds, but an
increase of $8.5 million compared with 1974. The value increase was attributed mainly to the scarcity of the
yeUowtail flounder which caused prices to rise from an average of 25 cents per pound in 1974 to 36 cents per
pound in 1975. Landings from the Atlantic States accounted for 64 percent of the total flounder catch,
followed by the Pacific Coast States with 35 percent and the Gulf States with 1 percent. Landings of Pacific
flounders were 56.6 million pounds worth $8.6 million, an increase of 2.1 million pounds in volume and
$517,000 in value. Almost all of the U.S. catch of Atlantic flounders is taken in waters subject to the
regulations by the International Convention for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) catch
recommendations. The U.S. catch of yellowtail flounder, which has fallen steadily from 72.0 million pounds in
1972 to 42.9 million pounds in 1975, has been the subject of great concern. The ICNAF has sharply reduced
the yellowtail catch quota for aU nations and given the United States almost all (99 percent) of the total
allowable catch in 1975 and 1976 in waters off the U.S. Atlantic Coast.
Groundfish. Landings of Atlantic groundfish (Atlantic ocean perch, cod, cusk, haddock, hakes, pollock, and
whiting) were 182.0 million pounds valued at $29.5 million, an increase of 6 percent in volume and 25 percent
in value over 1974. Larger landings of haddock (up 97 percent) and whiting (up 43 percent) were responsible
for the increase. Cod was the leading groundfish in both volume and value. Landings of Atlantic cod were
GENERAL REVIEW
56.1 million pounds valued at $13.2 million, down 4 percent in volume but up 17 percent in value compared
with 1974. Atlantic ocean perch landings of 32.1 million pounds declined 23 percent compared with 1974 and
was the lowest since 1935.
Landings of Pacific groundfish (cod, Pacific hake. Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes,
pollock, lingcod, and sable^ish) were 83.0 million pounds valued at $10.1 million, an increase of 1.5 million
pounds in volume and $275,000 in value. Landings of cod, lingcod, and sablefish increased in 1975, but
landings of all other species declined.
Imports of groundfish fillets (including blocks) were 513.8 million pounds worth $278.4 million,
up 82.4 million pounds in volume and $27.9 million in value compared with 1974. The available supply (U.S.
production plus imports) of groundfish fillets and blocks was 556.0 million pounds, an increase of 71.7 million
pounds compared with 1974.
Halibut. Landings on the Pacific Coast accounted for all but 171,000 pounds landed in New England. (See
Section 7.— Pacific Coast Fisheries.)
Jack mackerel. See Section 7.— Pacific Coast Fisheries.
Lobsters, American. Landings were 30.2 million pounds valued at a record $51.4 million, an increase of 6
percent in volume and 19 percent in value over 1974. Fishermen received an average exvessel price of $1.70
in 1975 compared with $1.52 in 1974. Landings increased in the New England States, but declined in the
Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake States. In Maine, the principal producing State, landings of 17.0 million
pounds were 550,000 pounds more than in 1974. The available supply (U.S. domestic landings of American
lobsters plus imports from Canada) were 48.5 million pounds in 1975 compared with 46.1 million pounds in
1974.
Lobsters, spiny. The spiny lobster harvest declined to 7.6 million pounds worth $10.3 million, down 31
percent in volume and 25 percent in value from 1974. Florida accounted for 97 percent of the total spiny
lobster production. Landings in Florida were 7.4 million pounds in 1975, down 32 percent from 1974. This
decrease from 1974 was the result of smaller catch being taken from the Florida Keys and the permanent
closing of Bahama waters. The closure of the Bahama waters is expected to curtail the Florida fishing
industry for years to come. The California commercial harvest of 201,000 pounds was 5 percent more than in
1974.
Menhaden. Landings were 1.8 billion pounds worth $49.4 million, a decrease of 10 percent in volume and 26
percent in value compared with 1974. The sharp drop in value reflects a decline in prices for fish meal and
fish oil from the abnormally high levels in 1974.
Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1.2 billion pounds in 1975, down 99.0 million pounds compared
with 1974, but the fourth largest on record. Fishing effort in the Gulf in terms of thousands of vessel ton
weeks was the highest on record, but poor fishing weather during the season may have been one factor that
held down landings.
Landings of Atlantic menhaden were 606.7 million pounds in 1975, down 14 percent from 1974.
Fishing effort was down slightly, and there was a poor showing of fish in New England, Middle Atlantic, and
Chesapeake fishing grounds.
About 98 percent of the Atlantic and Gulf landings were used for reduction to fish meal, oil, and
solubles in 1975. Most of the rest was used for bait except for a small quantity canned for animal food.
Production of menhaden meal (191,400 tons) was down 6 percent, menhaden oil (213,300 pounds) was down 2
percent, and menhaden solubles (84,000 tons) was down 18 percent.
Oysters. Landings yielded 53.2 million pounds of meats worth $45.0 million, an increase of 6 percent in
volume and 10 percent in value over 1974. Production increased in the Middle Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific
Coast States, but declined in the New England, Chesapeake, and South Atlantic States. The Chesapeake
States led in production with 22.6 million pounds of meats, followed by the Gulf States with 19.3 million. The
Chesapeake and Gulf States accounted for 79 percent of the landings. In the Chesapeake fishery, Maryland
was first in production with 16.4 million pounds, down 10 percent compared with 1974. Recruitment in the
Maryland fishery has been poor in recent years. In the Gulf States, Louisiana led in production with 13.7
million pounds, up 37 percent over 1974.
GENERAL REVIEW
Salmon. Virtually aU landings were on the Pacific Coast. (See Section 7.— Pacific Coast Fisheries.)
Scallops. Landings yielded 13.7 million pounds of meats worth $23.0 million, a gain of 51 percent in volume
and 82 percent in value compared with 1974. The exvessel price per pound of $1.68 increased 29 cents
compared with 1974.
Landings of aU species of scallops increased. The production of sea scallops were 10.1 million
pounds of meats worth a record $18.3 million, an increase of 56 percent in volume and 85 percent in value
over 1974. New England landings (7.1 million pounds) accounted for 70 percent of the total production. Bay
scaUop landings were 1.6 million pounds valued at $3.4 million, an increase of 10 percent in volume and 62
percent in value compared with 1974. Landings of calico scallops at Florida ports yielded 2.0 million pounds
of meats valued at $1.2 million, up 76 percent in volume and 102 percent in value over 1974.
Sea herring. Landings of sea herring were 130.9 million pounds worth $6.3 million, up 2 percent in volume,
but down 3 percent in value compared with 1974. Landings increased along both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. The Atlantic catch of 79.7 million pounds valued at $2.7 million accounted for 61 percent of the total
landings. Maine was the leading State with 38.2 million pounds, Massachusetts followed with 32.2 million
pounds. Small landings in Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia accounted
for the rest. Pacific landings were 51.2 million pounds valued at $3.6 million. Alaska landings of 35.5 million
pounds were 69 percent of the Pacific Coast production.
Shrimp. Landings of 346.7 million pounds (heads-on) were worth a record $225.7 million to the fishermen.
This was a decline of 7 percent in volume, but an increase of 25 percent in value compared with 1974. The
Gulf States accounted for 49 percent of the total volume and 79 percent of the total value. Landings along
the Gulf Coast of 170.1 million pounds valued at $178.3 million declined 9 percent in volume, but increased 29
percent in value. Similarly, landings in the South Atlantic States of 24.9 million pounds valued at $30.3
million declined 8 percent in volume, but increased 65 percent in value. Exvessel prices paid to fishermen in
the South Atlantic and Gulf States increased from 73 cents per pound in 1974 to a record $1.07 in 1975.
Shrimp landings in the Pacific Coast States of 140.1 million pounds valued at $13.9 million declined 2 percent
in volume and 25 percent in value compared with 1974. Alaska led in volume with 99.0 million pounds
followed by record landings in Oregon (23.9 million pounds) and Washington (10.0 million pounds). New
England landings of 11.7 million pounds worth $3.1 million declined 34 percent in volume and 45 percent in
value compared with 1974. The decline was due to a number of factors including overfishing in the previous
seasons, price disputes, and closure by Maine officials of the Maine summer shrimp fishery to help restore
depleted stocks.
U.S. imports of shrimp (including fresh or frozen, canned, and cured) were 201.5 million pounds
(import weight), a decrease of 27.5 million pounds (12 percent) compared with 1974, the record year. Mexico
continued as the leading country exporting shrimp to the United States.
Tuna. Landings in the United States were 392.5 million pounds valued at $106.8 million^an increase of 304,000
pounds, but a decline of $12.4 million compared with 1974, the record year in value. Landings in 1975 were
the second highest on record. Landings of aU species of tuna increased except albacore and yellowfin.
Landings of albacore tuna were 49.0 million pounds, down 11 percent; landings of yellowfin tuna were 242.0
million pounds, down 5 percent from 1974. Landings of bluefin tuna (21.3 million pounds) increased 52
percent, and skipjack tuna (79.5 million pounds) increased 16 percent. Landings of bigeye and little tuna also
increased.
Landings of tuna in Puerto Rico were a record 177.1 million pounds valued at $44.4 million, up 7
percent in volume, but down 3 percent from the record value in 1974. The greater harvest resulted
principaUy from increased landings of yellowfin tuna (99.6 million pounds), up 12 percent. Landings of bluefin
tuna (760,000 pounds) increased 442,000 pounds, and skipjack tuna (76.7 million pounds) increased 616,000
pounds. However, the value of skipjack tuna ($17.8 million) declined 13 percent because exvessel prices
dropped from $2.69 per pound in 1974 to $2.32 per pound in 1975.
In 1975 the pack of canned tuna, 27.0 million standard cases (529.4 million pounds) valued at
$652.6 million, was the fourth highest pack on record and the third in value. When compared with the record
year 1974, the pack decreased 20 percent and the value 21 percent. Canned tuna available for consumption
(U.S. pack from domestic landings plus U.S. pack from imported tuna) was 581.1 million pounds in 1975
compared to a record 713.1 million pounds in 1974.
GENERAL REVIEW
World landings. In 1975, world landings were 69.9 million metric tons (154.1 billion pounds), down 1 percent
from the 1974 production of 70.5 million metric tons (155.4 billion pounds). Japan, with 15 percent of the
total landings, continues to be the world leader in fishery landings, followed by the U.S.S.R. with 14 percent.
The Peoples Republic of China was third with 10 percent; followed by Peru, 5 percent; and the United States,
4 percent. The United States was fifth for the third consecutive year.
Other information. Summaries of landings statistics for certain States have been published previousy in the
Current Fishery Statistics series of bulletins. A preliminary review titled "Fisheries of the Unites States,"
available each April, contains current information on many aspects of the fisheries such as domestic and
world landings, per capita consumption, price indexes, foreign trade, and supplies, together with comparative
data for the previous year. "Fisheries of the United States" is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents,

GENERAL REVIEW
U.S. LANDINGS, 1975 - LIVE WEIGHT BASIS
In the annual digest it has been the practice of NMFS to show the landings of univalue and
bivalve moUusks on the basis of the weight of meats. Insofar as possible, all other fish and shellfish items are
shown on a live weight basis.
Since world fishery statistics published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations represent the live weight of landings of all items of fish and shellfish, it has been necessary to
provide that organization .with information on domestic landings of all species on a live weight basis. Data
released by the Food and Agriculture Organization, therefore, indicate that U.S. landings in 1975 were 1.2
billion pounds greater than the figure appearing in NMFS publications. The increase is due to the inclusion of
the weight of the shells of univalve and bivalve mollusks in the Food and Agriculture Organization data.
Data are included in the report showing the entire domestic landings on a live weight basis.
Information is also included on landings of fishery products in the principal countries of the world so that the
relative importance of the domestic fisheries can be determined. Tables containing these data follows:

GENERAL REVIEW
PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1975
The production of processed fishery products (fresh and frozen, canned, cured, and industrial) in the
United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was worth $2,651.0 million in 1975. Fresh and frozen items
were 49 percent of the total value; canned, 40 percent; cured, 4 percent; and industrial, the remaining 7
percent. The Pacific Coast States accounted for $835.2 million or about 32 percent of the total value of
processed fishery products. The Gulf Coast States ranked second with $418.2 million or 16 percent, and the
New England States, third, with $391.7 million or 15 percent. California was the leading State for processed
fishery products with $472.3 million, followed by Puerto Rico with $304.3 million. Canned tuna was by far
the most important fishery product produced in both California and Puerto Rico.
The 1975 production of fresh and frozen processed products, mainly fillets, steaks, fish sticks and
portions, and breaded shrimp was $1,309.0 million, compared with $1,128.8 million in 1974.
The pack of canned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was 49.0
million standard cases (1,382.4 million pounds), valued at $1,067.1 million by the canning companies. Included
in the total were 36.8 million standard cases, valued at $914.8 million for human consumption, and 12.2
million standard cases valued at $152.3 million for bait and animal food. Compared with 1974, the total
output declined 15 percent in quantity and 18 percent in value. The U.S. pack of canned tuna produced from
both domestic and imported raw tuna was the leading canned product in 1975.
Production of cured fishery products in 1975 was $101.5 million, compared with $113.7 in 1974. The
value of salted products was $43.9 million; smoked,$55.7 million; and sun-dried, $1.9 million. The value of
salted and smoked fishery products declined by $5.9 and $6.6 million when compared with 1974, but the value
of sun-dried products increased by $228,000 in 1975.
The value of industrial fish products (including sealskins and other items further processed) was $173.4
million in 1975, compared with $207.9 million in 1974. The quantity of fish meal produced in 1975 was
290,431 tons— 11,000 tons less than 1974. The production of oil reached 245.7 million pounds, 3 percent more
than in 1974 and the highest since 1971. Domestic production of fish solubles was 128,000 tons, down 7
percent in quantity from 137,000 tons produced in 1974.
A total of 3,606 wholesaling sind processing establishments reported selling or processing fishery items
in 1975 compared with 3,534 in 1974. In 1975, fishery products were processed by 1,700 firms,— a decline of
38 firms from 1974. Peak monthly employment for aU firms in 1975 was 92,310 compared with 92,118 in
1974; and average monthly employment was 71,006 in 1975 compared with 70,750 in 1974. Peak monthly
employment in the processing segment of the industry was 78,983 in 1975 and 80,666 in 1974; average monthly
employment was 60,281 in 1975 compared with 61,114 in 1974.

Employment is reported by each plant for each month for the payroll period that includes the 12th of the month. Employment
for the season is based on the greatest number of employees working during the payroll period that included the 1 2th of each month.
Employment for the year is obtained by adding the number of employees recorded as working during the payroll period that included
the 12th of each month, and dividing by 12.

Note:--Totals are correct. Table will not add because of rounding. Some of the above items have been processed from raw
products imported from foreign countries; therefore, the production cannot be correlated directly with landings. Certain items^
such as salted alewives and mild-cured salmon, are shown in an intermediate and also a more advanced stage of processing. The
lime and poultry feed processed shell products were processed from live and reef mollusk shells that are not included in the
landings statistics.

GENERAL REVIEW
CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1975
The 1975 pack of canned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was
the smallest since 1971. The total pack for human consumption and for bait and animal food was 49.0 million
standard cases (1,382.4 million pounds) with a value reported by the canning companies of $1,067.1 million,
down 15 percent in quantity and 18 percent in value compared with 1974. The largest declines were in tuna,
salmon, clams, and shrimp for human consumption.
Salmon. The 1975 pack of salmon was the smallest since 1906. The pack was 1.6 million standard cases
valued at $110.7 million, a decline of 273,588 standard cases and $26.5 million compared with 1974. The pack
in Washington and Oregon registered declines in 1975, while the pack in Alaska increased by 40,646 standard
cases. Pink salmon registered the only increase in the 1975 pack of salmon, from 527,237 standard cases in
1974 to 616,942 standard cases in 1975. Chum salmon showed the sharpest decline, 55 percent from 409,446
standard cases in 1974 to 225,659 standard cases in 1975. A better than expected run of reds in Bristol Bay
moderated the drop in the pack of red salmon to a 2-percent decline.
Despite the small 1975 pack, exports of canned salmon increased from 8.3 million pounds in 1974 to
22.5 million pounds in 1975.
Sardines. The pack of Maine sardines (sea herring) was 1.1 million standard cases valued at $24.9 million, up 3
percent in quantity and 15 percent in value compared with 1974.
Tuna. In 1975 the domestic pack of tuna was 26.8 million standard casses (529.4 million pounds) valued at
$652.6 million— the fourth highest pack on record and the third in value. The pack was down 20 percent in
quantity and 21 percent in value compared with the record year, 1974.
The pack of white meat (albacore) comprised 19 percent of the pack in 1975, down 39 percent from
1974. The pack of lightmeat tuna (skipjack, yellowfin, bluefin, and bigeye) comprised 81 percent (21.8 million
standard cases) in 1975, down 3.4 million cases compared with 1974. The canning plants in Washington,
Oregon, California, and Maryland packed 49 percent of the total; the rest was packed by plants in American
Samoa, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
Canned tuna packed from landings by U.S. fishermen was a record 269.1 million pounds, up 9 percent
from 1974. The pack of tuna from imported raw tuna was 260.3 million pounds down 37 percent from 1974.
The year 1975 was the first since 1961 that the pack from domestic landings was greater than from imports.
The explanation of this was that in order to reduce their inventories of canned tuna, tuna canning companies
cut back on their use of imported raw tuna. Inventories toward the end of 1974 had reached record levels, in
part because of record U.S. production of canned tuna in that year. Following the cutback on the use of
imported raw tuna, prices paid to U.S. fishermen were reduced, beginning in about April 1975; by July
inventories has been reduced, and prices of raw tuna had been stabilized at levels appreciably below 1974. In
July 1975 the exvessel price of albacore was $675 per ton, down 18 percent from December 1975; bluefin,
$480 per ton, down 14 percent; skipjack, $450 per ton, down 17 percent; and yellowfin, $500 per ton, down 13
percent. At these prices U.S. tuna fishermen succeeded in landing a record amount of tuna and this
prevented any substantial increase in the use of raw tuna imports during the rest of 1975.
Clams. The 1975 pack of clams and clam products was 3.0 million cases valued at $41.8 million, 12 percent
less in quantity and 3 percent less in value than in 1974. This decline was due to a drop in the pack of canned
chowder and juice, which more than offset a small gain in the pack of whole and minced clams.
Shrimp. The 1975 natural pack of shrimp was 1.8 million standard cases valued at $27.7 million, down 44
percent in volume and 38 percent in value compared with 1974. This large decline was due to a number of
factors, among which were heavy inventories carried over from 1974 and rising costs of operation. In Alaska,
which accounts for almost half the U.S. pack, more shrimp was diverted to the frozen product than in the
previous year.
Animal (pet) food. In 1975 the pack of pet food (10 pounds of fish per standard case of 48 1-pound cans)
was 12.1 million standard cases valued at $147.8 million. This was 147,765 standard cases and $26.8 million
less than in 1974. Tuna trimmings are used in producing a substantial part of the U.S. pack of canned animal
(pet) food, and with the production of canned tuna down, the pet food pack was lower also.

GENERAL REVIEW
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1975
The value of the 1975 production of industrial fishery products in the United States, American Samoa,
and Puerto Rico was $162.3 million— $36.5 million less than the $198.8 million produced in the previous year.
In terms of value, the leading producing State was Louisiana ($49.8 million), followed by California ($42.1
million), and Virginia ($13.2 million).
Fish meal and scrap. Domestic production including shellfish meal was 290,431 tons— 10,283 tons less than
the previous year. Menhaden meal (191,443 tons) accounted for 66 percent of the fish meal production and
was 12,416 tons less than the 203,859 tons produced in the previous year. Production of tuna and mackerel
meal (a byproduct of canning) was 37,209 tons in 1975 compared with 48,244 tons in 1974. This reduction was
attributed to a drop in the production of canned tuna.
Fish oils. The United States production of fish oils reached 245.7 million pounds, 3 percent more than a year
earlier and the highest since 1971. A sharp increase in the production of anchovy oil contributed to this
improvement.
Fish solubles. Domestic production of fish solubles was 128,000 tons valued at $8.8 million, down 7 percent in
quantity and 25 percent in value compared with 1974.
Other industrial products. Oyster shell grit and lime were valued at $5.8 million in 1975 compared with $4.7
million in 1974. The value of other industrial products was $49.6 million compared with $48.9 million in 1974.
These other industrial products included agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells processed for food
serving, fish pellets, Irish moss extract, kelp products, shark leather, liquid fertilizer, and pearl essence.

GENERAL REVIEW
FROZEN FISHERY TRADE
Freezings. The 1975 production of frozen fish and shellfish by firms reporting to NMFS was 299.7 million
pounds— a decline of 12 percent compared with 1974 and well below the record 410.4 million pounds frozen in
1973. The decline was caused primarily by decreased freezings of crabs (down 37 percent) and bait and
animal food (down 30 percent). Not included were freezings by firms not reporting to NMFS on a monthly
basis and a considerable volume of frozen fillets and steaks produced by firms operating plate freezers at the
end of fillet production lines. It is estimated that landings of 468.8 million pounds (live weight) of fish and
shellfish were required for the frozen production in 1975.
The New England area led all other areas in freezings with 82.6 million pounds (28 percent of the
total); followed by Pacific with 63.7 million and South Central with 61.8 million (21 percent each); South
Atlantic with 48.3 million (16 percent); and Alaska with 28 million pounds (9 percent).
Cold Storage Holdings. Monthly holdings of frozen fish and shellfish by cold storage warehouses reporting to
NMFS were at a high of 401.8 million pounds on January 31 and a low of 296.4 million pounds on June 30.
Holdings of frozen shrimp products (raw, headless, breaded, peeled, and unclassified) were highest on January
31 when 75.3 million pounds were in storage and lowest on August 31 when 46.7 million pounds were in
storage.
Cured Fish Cold-Storage Holdings. Monthly average holdings of salted and smoked fish were 6.1 million
pounds. Salted herring (4.5 million pounds) and mild-cured salmon (980,000 pounds) accounted for 91 percent
of the monthly average cold storage inventories of cured fish.
Information on the freezings and holdings of fishery products for 1975 by firms supplying monthly data
on their operations and a list of these firms were published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No. 6906.
Data on freezings and holdings were also published in preliminary and final monthly reports,
Frozen Fishery Products, also in the Current Fishery Statistics Series.

FOREIGN FISHERY TRADE, 1975
Total U.S. imports (for consumption) of edible and nonedible fishery products were $1,637.1 million. A
decrease of 4 percent compared with record imports of $1,710.9 million in 1974. Exports of domestic fishery
products were a record $304.7 million in 1975, an increase of 16 percent over 1974.
Imports of edible products were 1,913.1 million pounds valued at $1,367.2, down 353.8 million pounds
(16 percent) and $128.2 million (9 percent) compared with 1974. Decreased receipts of fresh and frozen tuna
contributed to much of the loss in the 1974 imports. Imports of fresh and frozen tuna (including loins and
discs) were 478.6 million pounds, down 310.8 million pounds (39 percent) compared with the 1974 imports of
789.4 million pounds. There were also decreases in total imports of all types of shrimp (10 percent), canned
salmon (62 percent )jand canned sardines (55 percent). Imports of canned tuna dropped slightly (2 percent).
Imports of fresh and frozen fillets increased to 367.9 million pounds, up 17 percent compared with 1974, and
were the third largest on record. Imports of regular and minced blocks were 313.5 million pounds in 1975, up
18 percent over 1974, and also were the third largest on record.
Exports of domestic edible fishery products were 218.2 million pounds valued at a record $267.4
million— up 23 percent in quantity and 37 percent in value compared with 1974. Most of this increase was due
to increased exports of salmon products. Exports of fresh and frozen salmon were 48.2 million pounds valued
at $66.9 million, an increase of 72 percent in quantity and 91 percent in value compared with 1974. Exports
of canned salmon were 22.5 million pounds valued at $34.6 million in 1975, up 170 percent in quantity and 161
percent in value. These increased exports reflected declines in the 1975 catch of salmon by other salmon
exporting countries.
Exports of domestic nonedible products were $37.4 million, a decrease of 44 percent compared with
1974. A sharp drop in exports of fish oil was responsible for much of the decline in total exports. A primary
factor in this decline was the greater availability of fish oil from competing exporting countries.
Exports of foreign fishery products increased in 1975. Edible products were $32.3 million compared
with $21.9 million in 1974, and nonedible products were $467,000 compared with $313,000. Increases occurred
in exports of fresh and frozen cod, salmon, and shrimp, and canned salmon and sardines.
No,
Data on foreign fishery trade for 1974-75 have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics

SECTION 2
NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES
In 1975, commercial fishermen of the New England States (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, and Connecticut) landed 498.4 million pounds of fish and shellfish worth a record $154.1 million.
This was a decline of 24.1 million pounds (5 percent), but an increase of $29.8 million (24 percent) compared
with 1974. Landings of yellowtail flounder, ocean perch, menhaden, shrimp, and species used for bait or
reduction were significantly less. Species with important increases in landings were alewives, haddocl<, sea
herring, whiting, American lobsters, and sea scallops.
Compared with 1974, landings in New Hampshire and Massachusetts increased slightly, but landings
in the other States declined. Massachusetts led all States in volume with 273.8 million pounds (55 percent);
followed by Maine, 138.4 million pounds (28 percent); and Rhode Island, 79.5 million pounds (16 percent).
Connecticut with 3.7 million pounds and New Hampshire with 3.1 million pounds accounted for 1 percent. The
value of landings increased in all States except Connecticut. Massachusetts led in value with $82.9 million
(54 percent), Maine was second with $48.5 million (31 percent), followed by Rhode Island, $18.9 million (12
percent). New Hampshire with $1.3 million and Connecticut with $2.6 million accounted for the rest.
Fishermen and vessels. The New England fisheries had 31,685 full-time and part-time fishermen using 770
vessels (5 net tons or more), 15,499 motorboats, and 269 other craft. This was an increase of 2,274 fishermen,
37 vessels, 1,087 motorboats, and 78 other boats over 1974.
Processed products. The value of processed seafood items was a record $391.7 million— $32.2 million more
than in 1974 and $20.9 million more than the record value in 1973. Massachusetts led with products valued at
$263.3 million, foUowed by Maine with $91.1; New Hampshire, $32.7; Rhode Island, $3.9 million, and
Connecticut, $700,000.
New England Fisheries Development Program. This NMFS program was implemented late in 1973 to use
fish and shellfish that were marketed infrequently or discarded at sea by fishermen. It is felt that use of
these fish would be substantially profitable and at the same time would enable heavily fished species to be
conserved. Use of squid, red crab, ocean quahog, sea mussels, and sand dabs among others has been studied,
and plans have been made for marketing them. Squid may prove to be the most feasible of this group,
because it is very abundant both on the inshore grounds and offshore grounds during certain seasons. Foreign
fleets have caught large quantities of squid in the deeper waters off southern New England and the Middle
Atlantic.
International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF). The 25th Annual Meeting of
ICNAF was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in June 1975; 175 members attended from all 17 member countries.
The main purpose of the meeting was to establish national quotas for 1976 for the major fish stocks in the
Northwest Atlantic and to consider improvements to existing regulations relating to the management of fish
stocks in the joint enforcement scheme.
Final regulations for 1975 covering fishing on the high seas in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean north
of Cape Hatteras became effective in May 1975. The regulations contained provisions for quotas, licensing of
fishing vessels, record keeping (logs), and size limitations on certain species of fish.
Catch and effort data as well as length and age frequency samples for major species were collected
from the commercial fishing fleet for research programs in the ICNAF areas. Groundfish surveys were
carried out in the spring and fall in cooperation with other countries. Data on catch of all species, age and
length-frequency samples, hydrographic observations, and plankton samples were routinely taken for about
300 stations.
American lobster. Landings were 28.5 million pounds valued at a record $48.1 million to the fishermen
compared with the 1974 landings of 26.3 million valued at $39.4 million. In Maine, the principal producing
area, landings of 17.0 million pounds were 550,000 pounds more than in 1974. In Massachusetts landings of 6.7
million pounds increased 28 percent and were the second highest on record. The American lobster accounted
for 31 percent of the value of all landings in New England making it the area's most valuable species.
The inshore pot catch (from 0 to 12 miles) accounted for 83 percent of the lobster catch; the rest
was taken by offshore draggers and offshore pot boats. Lobster draggers work seasonally, but much of their
catch is incidental to finfishing.

Clams. Landings yielded 11.4 million pounds of meats worth $10.8 million— increases of 12 percent in volume
andT? percent in value compared with 1974. Landings increased for all species of clams. Soft clams were 67
percent of the total New England production; hard clams, 21 percent; ocean quahog, 11 percent; and razor and
surf were 1 percent.
Soft clams landings of 7.7 million pounds of meats increased 5 percent compared with 1974. Maine
was the leading producer of soft clams with 6.5 million pounds of meats (up 11 percent), followed by
Massachusetts with 1.1 million pounds (down 15 percent), and Rhode Island with 18,000 pounds (down 73
percent). There was no production in Connecticut or New Hampshire.
Landings of hard clams yielded 2.4 million pounds of meats, up 15 percent compared with 1974.
Landings of 1.1 million pounds in Rhode Island increased 33 percent. Maine landings (8,000 pounds) also
increased; however, Connecticut with 120,000 pounds and Massachusetts with 1.1 million pounds had slight
decreases. The average price per pound paid to fishermen was $1.40 in 1975 and $1.45 in 1974.
Flounders. Landings were 77.4 million pounds worth $26.9 million— 3.8 million pounds less than in 1974, but
worth $6^1 million more to the fishermen. Landings were the smallest since 1961 and 15.4 million pounds
below the average for the previous 5 years. AU species of flounders increased in landings except yellowtail.
Landings of yellowtail flounders were 41.5 million pounds, a decline of 22 percent compared with 1974 and the
smallest since 1953.
Almost all of the U.S. catch of Atlantic flounders is taken in waters subject to ICNAF catch
recommendations. The declining U.S. catch of yellowtail flounder has been the subject of great concern.
ICNAF has sharply reduced the yellowtail catch quota for all nations and given the United States almost all
(99 percent) of the total allowable catch in 1975 in waters off the U.S. Atlantic Coast.
Groundfish. Landings of groundfish (cod, cusk, haddock, pollock, white hake, and Atlantic ocean perch) were
135.8 mllHon pounds valued at $25.3 million— a decrease of 2.6 million, but a gain of $4.6 million. Cod and
white hake were down slightly, but landings of Atlantic ocean perch had sizable declines. Landings of cusk
and pollock had small increases, but haddock increased sharply.
Landings of cod (55.4 million pounds) declined 4 percent compared with 1974, and landings of white
hake (8.1 million pounds) declined 3 percent. Atlantic ocean perch landings (32.1 million pounds) declined 23
percent to the lowest level since 1935.
Landings of cusk (3.1 million pounds) were up 5 percent compared with 1974, and pollock (20.9
million pounds) increased 7 percent with the largest catch since 1961. Landings of haddock were 16.2 million
pounds, an increase of 7.9 million pounds (96 percent) over the record low catch in 1974.
Menhaden. Landings in 1975 of 50.9 million pounds declined 28 million pounds (35 percent), but was still 19
percent above the previous 5-year average. Menhaden purse seiners landed chiefly at the ports of Gloucester,
Pt. Judith, and Portland in 1975.
Sea herring. Landings were 79.4 million pounds valued at $2.6 million, up 7.9 million pounds and $69,000
compared with 1974. The catch of sea herring in New England accounted for 60 percent of the total U.S.
landings. Massachusetts landings of 32.2 million pounds increased 83 percent, and Rhode Island landings of 9.0
million pounds were up 40 percent. Landings in Maine (38.2 million pounds) declined 19 percent and were only
48 percent of the total catch in 1975 compared with 66 percent in 1974.
In Maine, where small immature sea herrings are used to pack sardines, landings were 48 percent of
the total production for all States compared with 66 percent in 1974. The 1975 pack of Maine sardines was
1.1 million standard cases valued at $24.9 million, up 3 percent in quantity and 15 percent in value compared
with 1974.
Sea scallops. Landings were 7.1 million pounds of edible meats valued at $13.4 million— increases of 54
percent in volume and 87 percent in value compared with 1974. The 1975 production was the largest since
1968 and 62 percent above the average for the previous 5 years. Prices received by fishermen were $1.89 per
pound in 1975 compared to $1.56 in 1974. About 72 percent of the New England catch was made by 20 vessels
fishing out of New Bedford.
NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES
Landings in New Bedford, the leading sea scallop port, were up sharply in 1975, because of increased
landings from the Middle Atlantic grounds off New Jersey. These grounds, which in past years provided about
6 months' fishing, were fished for up to 10 months by regular sea scallop vessels in 1975.
Scallop imports were 19.7 million pounds of meats valued at $37.2 million. This was an increase of 1.6
million pounds and $9.1 million from the previous year. Most of the imports were from Canada indicating
that Georges Bank was very productive.
Northern shrimp. The northern shrimp fishery in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts continued to
have problems as the overall catch declined from 17.5 million pounds valued at $5.6 million in 1974 to 11.6
million pounds valued at $3.1 million in 1975. The quantity landed was 53 percent below the average for the
previous 5 years. The decline was due to a number of factors, including overfishing in the previous season,
price disputes, and closure by Maine officials of the Maine summer shrimp fishery to help restore depleted
stocks. The average price per pound paid to fishermen dropped from 31.8 cents per pound in 1974 to 26.3
cents in 1975, because of the unusually small shrimps.
Maine led other States with a catch of 7.0 million pounds— 60 percent of the total, but still 2.8 million
pounds less that in 1974. Massachusetts catch was 4.6 million pounds (39 percent of the total) compared with
7.7 million pounds in 1974. New Hampshire landings were 65,000 pounds compared with 81,000 in 1974.
Whiting. Landings of whiting were 33.2 million pounds valued at $2.8 million, increases of 12.7 million pounds
(62 percent) and $1.1 million (68 percent) compared with 1974. Landings in Massachusetts increased 115
percent and were 80 percent of the total New England catch. Landings at Maine ports declined 58 percent,
the lowest since 1938. At one time the whiting fishery was one of Maine's most productive fisheries.
Unclassified industrial fish. Landings of unclassified species of fish for processing into industrial products
have been trending downward since 1967. In 1975, landings were 13.2 million pounds, a decline of 14.4 million
pounds compared with 1974. Most of the industrial fishes is caught incidental to fishing for edible stocks.
Other information. Condensed summary data on the operating units and landings, by States, appearing in the
following pages have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No. 7405. Additional data may

MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES
Commercial landings of fish and shellfish at ports in the Middle Atlantic States (New York, New
Jersey, and Delaware) during 1975 were 188.1 million pounds valued at $49.8 million at dockside. This was a
11-pereent decrease in volume, but a 14-percent increase in value compared with 1974. Principal cause of
the decline in landings was reduced menhaden catches in New Jersey. Among the species that had increased
landings were fluke flounder, gray sea trout, scup, whiting, hard blue crabs, and surf clams.
Fishermen and vessels. There were 16,119 full-time and part-time commercial fishermen operating 492
vessels (5 net tons or more), 11,356 motorboats, and 40 other boats. This was an increase of 421 fishermen,
32 vessels, 306 motorboats, and 3 other boats compared with 1974. New York led in number of fishermen
(12,561) and motorboats (9,452). New Jersey had the largest number of vessels (303) and other boats (24).
Processed products. The total value of processed fishery products in the Middle Atlantic area (including
Pennsylvania) was $221.2 million— a decrease of $20.1 million (9 percent) compared with 1974. New York led
with products valued at $74.0 million, followed by New Jersey with $62.8 million; Pennsylvania, $50.7 million;
and Delaware, $23.7 million. An average of 6,144 persons a month were employed in 380 processing and
wholesaling establishments operating in the four States— a decrease of 7 employees, but an increase of 3
seafood establishments over 1974.
Clams. Hard clams are the most valuable species of either shellfish or finfish in the Middle Atlantic States.
Landings of hard clams yielded 10.3 million pounds of meats worth a record $16.0 million— increases of 5
percent in both volume and value over 1974. New York accounted for 84 percent of the area total with
landings of 8.7 million pounds of meats valued at $14.3 million. This represented increases of 8 percent in
volume and 7 percent in value over 1974. Great South Bay on Long Island provided 90 percent of the New
York landings and 76 percent of the Middle Atlantic landings. New Jersey landings yielded 1.6 million pounds,
down 7 percent in volume from 1974. Landings were the smallest since 1963 and 26 percent below the
average for the previous 5 years.
Surf clam landings yielded 42.4 million pounds of meats valued at $5.8 million— increases of 31 percent
in volume and 32 percent in value compared with 1974. New Jersey accounted for 84 percent of the landings
with 35.6 million pounds— up 57 percent compared with 1974. During the latter half of the year many vessels
that had been clamming off southern Virginia returned to New Jersey waters because of reduced landings in
Virginia. Most New Jersey surf clams (81 percent) were taken within 3 miles off the beach in an area south of
Atlantic City. New York landings of 4.6 million pounds increased 16 percent to the largest landings since
1949. All the New York landings were taken within 3 miles of the beach. Delaware landings were 2.3 million
pounds in 1975, down 60 percent from the previous year and 31 percent below the 1970-74 average. Vessels
made only intermittent landings there this year, because they began to land more trips in New Jersey.
Soft clam landings yielded 232,000 pounds of meats valued at $217,000— increases of 23 percent in
volume and 17 percent in value over the 1974 production. New Jersey landings increased 94 percent in
volume compared to 1974, because of the operation of a new depuration plant allowing the harvesting of soft
clams from impure waters. New York landings (63,000 pounds) declined 38 percent compared with 1974.
Hard blue crabs. Landings reached 6.4 million pounds valued at a record $1.4 million— gains of 29 percent in
quantity and 33 percent in value over the 1974 catch. Landings were the largest since 1950 and 85 percent
above the average for the previous 5 years. Landings in all three States were higher than they had been for
years. Delaware with 3.6 million pounds increased 58 percent, the highest landings since 1957. New Jersey
landings of 2.9 million pounds increased 5 percent over the 1974 total, the highest since 1939. New York
landings were 16,000 pounds in 1975 compared with 3,000 pounds in 1974. The average price per pound paid to
fishermen declined 2 cents per pound in New Jersey and 8 cents in New York, but increased 4 cents in
Delaware.
Other Species. Landings of sea trout were 6.0 million pounds valued at $868,000— increases of 37 percent in
volume and 21 percent in value over 1974. New Jersey fishermen landed 72 percent of the catch in the area.
Trawlers landing at Cape May accounted for 68 percent of the New Jersey sea trout landings. Bluefish
landings, 2.2 million pounds valued at $352,000, increased 5 percent in volume and 34 percent in value
compared with 1974. New Jersey with 1.3 million pounds or 59 percent of the total bluefish landings
increased 28 percent in volume; New York with 889,000 pounds declined 17 percent. Landings in Delaware
MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES
117
increased from 6,000 pounds to 15,000 pounds. Landings of butterfish were 2.1 million pounds valued at
$484,000 an 18-percent increase in volume and 11 percent in value over 1974. Landings of Atlantic mackerel
of 1.9 million pounds valued at $206,000 were up 69 percent in volume and 39 percent in value compared with
1974. Striped bass landings were 1.6 million pounds valued at $857,000— a 30-percent decline in volume, but
an 11-percent increase in value compared with 1974. Squid landings, 1.5 million pounds valued at $308,000,
declined 33 percent in volume and 26 percent in value compared with 1974.
Flounders. Landings of all species of flounders were 9.7 million pounds valued at $3.4 million, up 10 percent
in quantity and 36 percent in value compared with 1974. Fluke or summer flounder was 78 percent of the
total flounder landings in the area. Landings were a record 7.6 million pounds worth $2.9 million— increases
of 26 percent in quantity and 47 percent in value over 1974. Landings of yellowtail flounder were 1.4 million
pounds valued at $364,000— down 32 percent in quantity and 12 percent in value compared with 1974. From
1967 to 1973 yellowtail had been the most prominent species of flounder landed in the Middle Atlantic region.
American lobsters. Landings were 1.5 million pounds valued at $3.0 million— declines of 21 percent in volume
and 11 percent in value compared with 1974. Landings were the lowest since 1966. New Jersey landings
(851,000 pounds) declined 29 percent below 1974 and 39 percent below the previous 5-year average. New
York lobster landings (669,000 pounds) declined 8 percent.
Menhaden. Landings of 67.0 million pounds were 40.9 million pounds (38 percent) less than in 1974. For the
past 3 years (1972-74), landings had averaged over 100 million pounds of menhaden a year. New Jersey with
65.9 million pounds accounted for 98 percent of the production, mostly by purse seines. The New Jersey
fishery had six purse seiners in 1975, three less than the previous year. Landings in New York (1.1 million
pounds) increased 87 percent. Pound nets took 76 percent of the landings in New York, the rest were taken by
gill nets. The 20,00() pounds landed in Delaware were taken by gill nets. Menhaden Ismded in New York and
Delaware are used mostly for bait.
Oysters. Total landings yielded 3.3 million pounds of meats valued at $6.3 million. Compared with 1974, this
was an increase of 20 percent in volume and 28 percent in value. Landings increased 36 percent in New York
and 11 percent in Delaware, but declined 4 percent in New Jersey. New York with 2.1 million pounds of
meats accounted for 64 percent of the volume and 82 percent of the value in the area. This is the eighth year
of increased oyster production in New York attributed to aquaculture operations. New Jersey oyster landings
of 972,000 pounds of meats was a 4-percent decline in volume and 12 percent in value from 1974. A shortage
of seed oysters is contributing to reduced landings. Landings of seed oysters in Delaware decreased 68
percent in quantity.
Scallops. Landings of bay scallops yielded 444,000 pounds of meats valued at $713,000— a decline of 36
percent in volume and 18 percent in value compared with 1974. New York was the only State which had a
production of bay scallops in 1975. Most of the landings were made from Gardiners and Peconic Bays by
dredgers. Fishermen received $1.70 to $2.00 per pound (of meats) in the fall and $1.25 to $1.40 in the spring.
Landings of sea scallops yielded 981,000 pounds of meats worth $1.8 million— increases of 84 percent in
volume and 118 percent in value over 1974. New Jersey vessels accounted for 72 percent of the total catch in
1975 compared with 61 percent in 1974. The practice of catching the scallops by trawler and landing them in
the sheU to be shucked ashore contributed to the rise in New Jersey landings. About 52 percent of the New
Jersey sea scallops were taken by trawler in 1975 compared with only 2 percent in 1974. The New York
landings were all by dredge vessels at New York City.
Scup. Landings were 10.1 million pounds valued at $2.5 million, a 4-percent increase in quantity and 42
percent in value over 1974. Landings were the largest since 1965 and 79 percent higher than the average for
the previous 5 years. Average exvessel prices rose from 18 cents per pound in 1974 to 24 cents in 1975. New
Jersey landings (6.3 million pounds) increased 4 percent over 1974 and New York landings (3.8 million pounds)
increased 5 percent.
Tuna. Landings of all species were 2.5 million pounds valued at $633,000, increases of 184 percent in volume
and 167 percent in value over 1974. Landings were the second best harvest since the inception of the tuna
purse seine fishery in 1963. Of the total landings, 99 percent were bluefin tuna. Three purse seine vessels
made 13 trips this year, 1 more trip than in 1974, with all landings made at Cape May, New Jersey.

MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES
Whiting. Landings were 9.1 million pounds worth $961,000, a 1-percent gain in volume and 15 percent in value
over 1974. New Jersey with 6.5 million pounds or 71 percent of the total landings declined 8 percent. The
leading ports in New Jersey for whiting were Point Pleasant (59 percent of the catch) and Belford (28
percent). Landings in New York (2.6 million pounds) increased 33 percent compared with 1974; Delaware
increased from 8,000 pounds to 13,000 pounds.

SECTION 4
CHESAPEAKE FrSHERIES
The commercial landings of fish and shellfish in the Chesapeake States (Maryland and Virginia)
were 509.1 million pounds valued at $56.0 million— a decline of 88.1 million pounds (15 percent) and $2.1
million (4 percent) compared with 1974. Reduced landings of alewives, menhaden, surf clams, blue crabs, and
oysters were the principal cause of the decline in volume. There were moderate increases, however, in
landings of croaker, fluke flounder, gray sea trout, sea bass, and sea scallops.
Virginia landings of 444.8 million pounds worth $33.1 million were 87 percent of the volume and
59 percent of the value in the Chesapeake area. Menhaden was 71 percent of the volume in Virginia and 23
percent of the value; surf clams were 9 percent of the volume; and hard blue crabs, 8 percent of the volume.
Maryland landings were 64.3 million pounds valued at $22.9 million. In Maryland hard blue crabs accounted
for 38 percent of the total volume; oysters, 26 percent; menhaden, 9 percent; and surf clams, 8 percent. In
December the entire James River in Virginia was closed to all finfishing and shellfishing, because of the
presence of kepone, an insecticide that a chemical firm had discharged into the upper river at Hopewell.
These discharges were made over a number of years.
Fishermen and vessels. There were 24,274 full-time and part-time fishermen operating 1,911 vessels of 5 net
tons or over, 16,052 motorboats, and 372 other boats. Compared with 1974, this was an increase of 1,088
fishermen, 13 vessels, and 719 motorboats, but a decline of 333 other boats.
Processed products. The value of processed fishery products in the Chesapeake States was $160.8 million— an
increase of $10.8 million compared with 1974. Maryland firms packed processed products valued at $97.7
million— 61 percent of the area total. In Virginia, processed products were worth $63.1 million. In Maryland,
Virginia, and the District of Columbia, 367 processing and wholesaling establishments employed a monthly
average of 7,991 persons.
Alewives. Landings of 12.1 million pounds valued at $422,000 declined 18 percent in volume and 9 percent in
value compared with 1974. The Virginia production of 11.4 million pounds (down 15 percent) was 94 percent
of the Chesapeake landings. Maryland landings of 718,000 pounds were 48 percent less than 1974, and the
smallest on record.
Clams. Landings of surf clams were 44.4 million pounds of meats valued at $6.7 million— declines of 30
percent in volume and 14 percent in value compared with 1974, the record year for volume and value.
Virginia led the Nation for the fourth consecutive year in surf clam landings with 39.1 million pounds of meats
or 45 percent of the U.S. total production. In 1974, surf clam landings in Virginia were a record 58.2 million
pounds or 61 percent of the total U.S. production. The once highly productive area east of the Virginia Capes
has become depleted owing to extensive fishing. In 1975, the vessels were required to take longer trips to
land the same number of clams as in previous years. The Maryland surf clam fishery declined only 1 percent
in volume from the previous year; the size of the fleet has remained stable.
Landings of heird clams were 1.2 million pounds of meats valued at $1.1 million— decreases of 22
percent in quantity and 21 percent in value compared with 1974. Virginia fishermen landed 94 percent of the
total, 1.1 million pounds of meats. Seaside bays off the Atlantic Ocean yielded 35 percent of the Virginia
total; the James River, 32 percent; the York River, 26 percent; and the Chesapeake Bay, 7 percent. The
Maryland catch was made from two areas, Chincoteague Bay and Pocomoke Sound. The soft clam fishery,
which is in Maryland waters, had landings of 1.2 million pounds of meats valued at $1.2 million— down 41
percent in volume and 34 percent in value from the 1974 landings. During the first 6 months of the year, soft
clamming was fair, and exvessel prices stable at $10 per bushel. In July and August the vessels were hard put
to reach their 15-bushel-per-day limit on landings. Many vessels could only bring in 5 to 8 bushels per day.
Exvessel prices were $18 to $20 per bushel. In December the discovery of an untapped bed of mostly large-
sized soft clams discovered in Pocomoke Sound brought a rush of boats to that area.
Crabs. Landings of hard blue crabs were 59.1 million pounds valued at $9.3 million— a decline of 10 percent in
volume, but an increase of 12 percent in value compared with 1974. Virginia crabbers caught 59 percent of
the total with 34.8 million pounds landed. Pot fishermen landed 30.2 million pounds or 87 percent of the
Virginia totaL Dredge vessels in the winter fishery took most of the remainder. Maryland landings, 24.3
million pounds, valued at $4.3 million, declined 2 percent in volume and increased 5 percent in value
compared with 1974. Maryland crab pots took about 64 percent of the catch; trot lines took most of the rest.
The average exvessel price for hard blue crabs was 17.6 cents per pound in Maryland and 14.4 cents per pound
in Virginia.

CHESAPEAKE FISHERIES
Lobsters, American. Landings were 150,000 pounds valued at $270,600— declines of 52 percent in both
quantity and value compared with 1974. The quantity landed was the smallest since 1968. Virginia landings
declined from 274,000 in 1974 to 91,000 in 1975; however, Maryland landings (59,000 pounds) increased 59
percent. Virginia fishermen landed 61 percent of the total, taken almost exclusively by pots. Vessels in
Virginia made 44 trips during 1975 compared to 83 trips in 1974. The major company in this fishery had sold
the last of its vessels and ceased operations by the end of 1975.
Menhaden. Landings of 321.9 million pounds declined 16 percent compared with 1975 and were 30 percent
below the average of the previous 5 years. The value of menhaden landings was $7.9 million— 31 percent less
than in 1974. Purse seines took 87 percent of the landings; pound nets caught most of remaining landings.
Purse seines operated mostly in Chesapeake Bay, but worked in the Atlantic Ocean in the fall. About 16
percent of the purse seine catch was taken in the ocean.
Other finfish. Landings of bluefish were 3.6 million pounds valued at $272,000— declines of 4 percent in
quantity and 11 percent in value compared with the record landings in 1974. These were the second largest
landings on record for bluefish in this area. Croaker landings, 5.4 million pounds valued at $565,900,
increased 231 percent in quantity and 154 percent in value over 1974. After many years of reduced landings
the fishery for this species appears to be coming back to its former quantities. Striped bass landings were 4.2
million pounds valued at $1.8 million in 1975. Compared with 1974, this was a 30-percent decrease in volume,
but a 17-percent increase in value. The average price per pound at dockside increased from 25 cents in 1974
to 42 cents in 1975. Landings of 5.0 million pounds of gray sea trout valued at $633,000 increased 43 percent
in volume and 21 percent in value over the previous year. Fluke landings, 4.3 million pounds valued at $1.2
millionj increased 13 percent in quantity and 30 percent in value compared with 1974. Shad landings were 1.3
million pounds valued at $354,000, a 26-percent decline in quantity, but a 29-percent increase in value. Shad
landings are the lowest on record for this area.
Oysters. Landings were 22.6 million pounds valued at $18.1 million— a 10-percent decrease in volume, but a
3 -percent increase in value compared with 1974. The volume was the smallest since 1965. Oyster landings in
Maryland (16.4 million pounds) declined 10 percent compared with 1974. This drop in volume can be
attributed to a very poor spat faU in 1972 due to the effects of tropical storm Agnes' dumping too much
freshwater and silt into the bay at the height of the spawning season. That year class would have entered the
fishery in the fall of this year. Virginia landings of 6.2 million pounds declined 7 percent in quantity, but
increased 3 percent in value. The reduced catches are reflected in the increase in exvessel prices. In the
fall, exvessel bushel prices rose $1 to $2 above the spring prices and averaged $5 to $7 per bushel. Wholesale
gallon prices also increased an average of $2 per gallon in the fall and averaged $12.50 for standard oysters.
The Virginia seed oyster fishery harvested 478,470 bushels valued at $880,610. Compared with
1974, this was a 2-percent decrease in quantity and 20-percent in value.
Sea scallops. Landings of 1.3 million pounds of meats valued at $2.3 million increased 46 percent in volume
and 83 percent in value compared with 1974. Almost all the scallops were landed in Virginia, where dredge
vessels made 116 trips and took 70 percent of the catch and trawl vessels made 61 trips and caught 30
percent.

EXCLUSIVE OF CHESAPEAKE BAY, WHICH DRAIN INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
SECTION 5
SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES
Commercial landings of fish and shellfish at ports of the South Atlantic States (North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, and the East Coast of Florida, including freshwater areas of Florida) were 333.1 million
pounds worth a record $63.6 million. The quantity landed was the largest since 1968 and 22 percent above the
average of the previous 5 years. The larger volume was caused principally by heavier landings of menhaden.
Landings of croaker, spemish mackerel, spot, and thread herring also increased significantly. The 25-percent
increase in value was caused by higher exvessel prices paid for shrimp in aU four States.
North Carolina led aU States with landings of 238.3 million pounds, 15 percent higher than the previous
year and 42 percent higher than the 5-year average for 1970-74. Landings in South Carolina (20.1 million
pounds) increased 6 percent, but landings in Georgia (17.7 million pounds) declined 2 percent, and Florida,
East Coast (56.9 million pounds) declined 6 percent. Florida, East Coast was the only State that had a decline
in value compared with 1974.
Fishermen and Vessels. There were 10,242 full-time and part-time fishermen operating 1,546 vessels of 5
gross tons or over, 5,406 motorboats, and 250 other boats. Compared with 1974, this was an increase of 251
fishermen, 23 vessels, 290 motorboats, and 74 other boats.
Processed products. The value of processed fishery products was $130.3 million, an increase of $14.3 million
compared with 1974. Georgia led with products valued at $48.3 million, followed by Florida, East Coast with
$46.7 million; North Carolina, $26.9 million; and South Carolina, $8.5 million. The four States had a monthly
average of 6,138 persons employed in 520 wholesaling and processing plants.
Hard blue crabs. Landings of 30.5 million pounds valued at $4.1 million decreased 20 percent in volume and
10 percent in value compared with 1974, the record year for value. The volume landed was the smallest since
1956 and 19 percent below the average of the previous 5 years. Landings declined in all four States. North
Carolina landings of 11.1 million pounds were down 16 percent; South Carolina, 6.4 million, down 15 percent;
Georgia, 8.9 million, down 12 percent; and Florida, East Coast, 4.2 million pounds, down 44 percent. The
value of landings declined in all States except North Carolina.
North Carolina landings were the lowest since 1956, but the value was 6 percent above the previous
year. Crabs were generally in short supply with good demand. Exvessel prices averaged a record 13 cents per
pound in 1975 compared with 10 cents in 1974. Wholesale and retail prices for crabmeat and other products
from hard blue crabs also reached record highs in North Carolina during the year.
Food finfish. Landings of edible finfish were 88.2 million pounds, an increase of 6.3 million pounds compared
with 1974. Several major species including alewives, catfish and bullheads, flounders, and black mullet
declined in volume. Landings of alewives were the smallest on record. Flounder landings were 11.8 million
pounds, 2 percent below the record catch in 1974; black mullet, 5.2 million pounds, declined 9 percent.
Species with notable increases in 1975 were croaker (up 67 percent); gray sea trout (up 11 percent); Spanish
mackerel (up 115 percent); and spot (up 38 percent). Croaker and spot had record landings, and Spanish
mackerel had the third largest landings on record. Alewives, croaker, and Spanish mackerel had lower
exvessel prices in 1975. Flounder landings, which had dropped to the lowest exvessel price since 1970,
increased 7 cents a pound in 1975.
Spiny lobsters. Landings were 2.3 million pounds valued at $3.0 million, a decline of 1.8 million pounds and
$2.0 million compared with 1974. The quantity landed was the smallest since 1967 and 51 percent below the
previous 5-year average. All landings were made at Florida, East Coast ports.
Menhaden. Landings were 166.9 million pounds, an increase of 33.1 million pounds (25 percent) compared with
1974. North Carolina with 92 percent of the total landings had 153.8 million pounds— an increase of 27
percent compared with 1974. Biological studies by NMFS indicate that fishing effort for Atlantic menhaden
is excessive relative to current stock size. Also, the capture of juvenile menhaden is reducing the
contribution these small fish could make towards improved landings in the next few years. Intense effort and
the capture of juveniles have reduced current levels of production for the entire Atlantic fishery to about
one-half the maximum sustainable yield.

SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES
Oysters. Landings yielded 1.6 million pounds of meats worth $1.0 million, a decline of 14 percent in both
volume and value compared with 1974. Landings and value declined in all States, and the total quantity
landed was the smallest since 1880. South Carolina, the leading producer, declined 7 percent; North Carolina,
24 percent; Florida, East Coast, 19 percent; and Georgia, 32 percent. Georgia landings were the smallest on
record, and Florida, East Coast landings were the lowest since 1962. The average price per pound remained
about the same in North Carolina and South Carolina, but increased 4 cents a pound in Georgia and 10 cents a
pound along the east coast of Florida.
Calico scaUops. Landings yielded 1.4 million pounds of meats worth $899,000— an increase of 313,000 pounds
and $280,000 compared with 1974. Florida, East Coast accounted for the entire production. North Carolina,
usually the leading producer, had no calico scallop production in 1974 and 1975.
Shrimp. Landings of 24.9 million pounds (heads-on) valued at a record $30.3 million were 2.2 million pounds
less, but $12.0 million more than in 1974. Excellent consumer demand combined with the moderate catch
kept prices high and made 1975 a good year for the shrimp fishery. Fishermen received an average price of a
record $1.22 per pound compared with 68 cents in 1974.
South Carolina led with 8.9 million pounds, an increase of 19 percent compared with 1974. Landings in
Georgia (8.1 million pounds) increased 12 percent, but Florida, East Coast (2.8 million pounds) and North
Carolina (5.2 million pounds) declined 30 and 39 percent, respectively. The average price per pound for
shrimp increased 43 cents in North Carolina; 57 cents in South Carolina; 53 cents in Georgia; and 59 cents in
Florida, East Coast.
A comparison of the species composition in the South Atlantic catch in 1974 and 1975 (heads-off)
shows a substantial decrease in landings of brown shrimp, down 2.7 million pounds; pink shrimp, down 58,500
pounds; and rock shrimp, down 167,500 pounds. Landings of white shrimp increased 1.6 million pounds and
royal red shrimp, 25,900 pounds. Landings of brown shrimp were 26 percent of the total landings compared to
40 percent in 1974, and white shrimp were 65 percent compared to 50 percent. Pink, royal red, and rock
shrimp remained about the same.
Other information. Condensed summary data on the operating units and landings, by States, appearing in the
following pages have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No. 7408. Additional data may
be found in the monthly and annual landings bulletins for North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida
published in the Current Fishery Statistics series by the Data Management and Statistics Division in
cooperation with the respective States.

SECTION 6 - GULF FISHERIES
189
Total commercial landings of fish and shellfish at ports in the Gulf States (West Coast of Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas) were 1.7 billion pounds worth a record $270.6 million, a decrease
of 7 percent in quantity, but an increase of 12 percent in value compared with 1974. Smaller landings of
menhaden and shrimp was the principal reason for the volume decline. The increased value resulted from the
record exvessel prices that fishermen received for shrimp in 1975.
The Gulf States had 34 percent of the volume and 28 percent of the value of U.S. landings and
exceeded all other areas in volume. Louisiana led in volume of landings with 1.1 billion pounds (67 percent);
followed by Mississippi with 305.8 million (18 percent); Florida, West Coast, 115.8 milion (7 percent); Texas,
86.0 million (5 percent); and Alabama, 31.6 million pounds (2 percent). Compared with 1975, landings declined
in all States except Mississippi, which had a 2- percent increase in volume.
Fishermen and vessels. The Gulf States had 26,560 full-time and part-time fishermen operating 4,670 vessels
(5 net tons or more), 10,142 motorboats, and 61 pther boats. Compared with 1974, this was an increase of
1,071 fishermen, 693 motorboats, and 3 other boats, and a decrease of 11 vessels.
According to records of the U.S. Department of Transportation, 121 vessels with home ports in the
Gulf of Mexico received first documents as fishing vessels in 1975 compared with 245 vessels in 1974.
Processed products. In 1975 the value of processed seafood at the plant level was $418.2 million, a decrease
of $16 million compared with 1974. Frozen packaged items accounted for 65 percent of the total value of
processed products— an increase of 8 percent over the previous year. Louisiana led with products valued at
$133.5 million; followed by Florida, West Coast, $109.6 million; Texas, $75.6 million; Mississippi, $58.3
million; and Alabama, $41.2 million. The five States had a monthly average of 11,034 persons employed in
723 wholesaling and processing plants.
Hard blue crabs. Landings of 38.7 million pounds valued at a record $5.5 million decreased 1.6 million
pounds, but increased $179,000 compared with 1974. Landings increased in Florida, West Coast, but declined
in all other States. Florida, West Coast landings were 12.8 million pounds, up 26 percent from 1974.
Louisiana landings were 17.1 million pounds (down 17 percent); Texas, 6.0 million (down 2 percent); Alabama,
1.6 million (down 10 percent); and Mississippi, 1.1 million pounds (down 32 percent).
Food finfish. Compared with 1974, landings of most major species decreased. Landings of black mullet were
25.3 million pounds (down9 percent); croaker, 12.8 million (down 12 percent); king mackerel, 2.6 million (down
57 percent); Spanish mackerel, 6.1 million (down 28 percent); spotted sea trout, 6.2 million (down 11 percent);
and red snapper, 7.8 million pounds (down 8 percent). Landings of groupers (7.3 million pounds) increased 13
percent, and catfish and bullheads (6.1 million pounds) increased 22 percent.
Spiny lobster. Landings of 5.1 million pounds valued at $6.8 million declined 24 percent in volume and 18
percent in value compared with 1974, the record year for value. AU but 100 pounds were landed at Florida,
West Coast ports. Fishermen received an average price of $1.34 per pound, 10 cents more than in 1974.
Menhaden. Landings of 1.2 billion pounds worth $35.5 million were down 99.0 million pounds (8 percent) and
$12.9 million (27 percent) compared with 1974. Fishing effort in the Gulf in terms of thousands of vessel-ton
weeks was the highest on record, but poor fishing weather during the season may have been one factor that
held landings down. Louisiana landings (984.1 million pounds) declined 9 percent; Mississippi (212.1 million
pounds), 2 percent; and Florida, West Coast (466,000 pounds), 34 percent. The Gulf menhaden fishery had 66
purse seines operating in 1975, the same number that operated in 1974.
Oysters. The production of 19.3 million pounds of shucked oyster meats valued at $10.9 million increased 30
percent in volume and 11 percent in value compared with 1974. The harvest was the best since 1971.
Landings increased 291 percent in Mississippi, 37 percent in Lousiana, and 41 percent in Texas. Landings
declined 20 percent along the west coast of Florida and 13 percent in Alabama.
Louisiana had 71 percent of the total oyster landings with a record 13.7 million pounds. Most of
the catch was taken from private bottom and used by the fresh oyster trade. The canned oyster pack was 27
percent above 1974, but well below the record pack of 1961.
GULF FISHERIES
Shrimp. Landings of 170.1 million pounds valued at a record $178.3 million decreased 9 percent in volume,
but increased 29 percent in value compared with 1974. The quantity landed was the lowest since 1962 and 20
percent below the average of the previous 5 years. The Gulf States accounted for 49 percent of the total
shrimp landings and 79 percent of the total value in 1975. Brown shrimp, the mainstay of the industry in
recent years, declined 12.0 million pounds (17 percent) compared with 1974. Gulf States biologists said that
flood waters, which caused low salinity and abnormally low water temperatures during the postlarval stage,
were responsible for the low survival of the juvenile brown shrimp. Short supplies caused exvessel prices to
increase steadily throughout the year. Fishermen received an average price of $1.05 per pound compared
with 74 cents in 1974. Because many raw shrimp processors increased their processing capability to meet the
increasing demand for small peeled shrimp, the market became more competitive at the fishermen level. In
the past, canning plants were the primary volume users of small shrimp.
Landings declined in aU five States in 1975. Texas with 70.6 million pounds was down 10 percent;
Louisiana, 53.1 million, down 11 percent; and Mississippi, 4.0 million pounds, down 25 percent. Landings of
28.2 million pounds in Florida, West Coast, and 14.1 million pounds in Alabama were down less than 1 percent.
Fishing declined on most major grounds. The Sanibel and Tortugas grounds yielded 11.0 million
pounds (down 9 percent from 1974); Pensacola to Mississippi River, 9.2 million (down 5 percent); Mississippi
River to Texas, 38.6 million (down 10 percent); Texas Coast, 35.3 million (down 8 percent); off Mexican Coast
west of long. 94°, 5.6 million (down 14 percent); and off Obregon and Campeche, 1.8 million pounds (down 50
percent). Increases occurred in waters off the Apalachicola area, 5.5 million pounds (up 1.5 million pounds);
and Atlantic Ocean, 13,500 pounds (up 11,200 pounds).
The species composition was much the same as in 1974. Brown shrimp was 54 percent of the total
landings; white shrimp, 26 percent; pink shrimp, 15 percent; sea bobs, 4 percent; and royal red and rock
shrimp together, 1 percent.
Other information. Condensed summary data on the operating units and landings , by States, appearing in
the following pages have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No. 7409. Additional data
may be found in the monthly and annual landings bulletins for Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Texas published in the Current Fishery Statistics series by the Data Management and Statistics Division in
cooperation with the respective States.

SECTION 7
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
Landings by U.S. commercial fishermen in the Pacific Coast States of Alaska, California,
Oregon, and Washington were 1.6 billion pounds valued at $352 million in 1975, up 12 percent in quantity, but
down 8 percent in value compared with 1974. The increase in quantity m&inly was due to record landings of
anchovies in California. The decrease in value primarily was caused by depressed exvessel prices for most
species.
Alaska led the other States in value of landings with $129.7 million, followed closely by
California with $134.7 million. Washington landings were $61.6 million, and Oregon landings were $26.0
million. In terms of quantity, however, California led with 875.0 million pounds; followed by Alaska, 444.1
million pounds; Washington, 146.0 million pounds; and Oregon, 86.2 million pounds.
Tuna was the leading species in terms of quantity, but second to salmon in value. Landings of
tuna were 380.5 million pounds valued at $100.6 million. Landings of salmon were 202.0 million pounds valued
at $107.0 million. Salmon ranked third in quantity behind anchovies (329.4 million pounds).
The total foreign catch in 1975 from Pacific Coast waters was 2.0 million metric tons (4.4
billion pounds), down 11 percent from 1974, but still almost three times the domestic catch. This was the
fourth year that foreign catches have declined since 1971, the peak year. The catch of all foreign countries
declined; and the catch declined in aU areas except the Gulf of Alaska where it increased slightly.
Two factors have been at work to reduce foreign catches in recent years. The first, and
probably most important, was a market reduction in abundance of Alaska pollock and other target species.
The second factor was the decision by various foreign governments to reduce fishing. In part this decision
was a result of reduced catches caused by low abundance and in part a result of international agreements
between the fishing nations and the United States to reduce fishing to preserve the stocks.
In 1975, Japan was the leading nation, accounting for 66 percent of the foreign catch off Pacific
Coast States; the U.S.S.R. accounted for 31 percent; Poland, 3 percent; and Canada, South Korea, and China
(Taiwan) for less than 1 percent. Catches from waters off Alaska accounted for almost 89 percent of the
foreign catch off Pacific Coast States; catches off California, Oregon, and Washington accounted for the
remainder.
Alaska pollock was the leading species in the foreign catch, accounting for more tonnage than
all other species combined. In 1975, the foreign catch of Alaska pollock was 2.9 billion pounds (1,295,000
metric tons). The catch of Pacific hake was 434 million pounds (197,000 metric tons); flounders, turbots, and
other flatfish, except halibut, 299 million pounds (136,000 metric tons); rockfishes, except ocean perch, 129
million pounds (58,000 metric tons); cod, 128 million pounds (58,000 metric tons); Pacific ocean perch, 103
million pounds (47,000 metric tons); atka mackerel, 92 million pounds (42,000 metric tons); sablefish, 72
million pounds (33,000 metric tons); sea herring, 38 million pounds (17,000 metric tons); and snow (tanner)
crab, 22 million pounds (10,000 metric tons). The bulk of the remainder consisted of miscellaneous groundfish
species. Catches of salmon and shrimp were negligible.
Fishermen and craft. The Pacific Coast fleet of fishing vessels (craft of 5 net tons or over) continued to
increase in number and total tonnage, a trend unbroken since 1964. The number of fishing boats (craft of less
than 5 net tons) and fishermen on boats and shore, however, declined for the second year in a row.
In 1975, the number of fishing vessels was 7,031 with a total tonnage of 269,413, up 5 percent in
number and 2 percent in tonnage over 1974. The number of fishermen aboard these vessels in 1975 rose to
22,741, up 7 percent compared with the previous year. The number of boats declined to 13,336 in 1975, down
10 percent from 1974. The number of fishermen on boats and shore in the Pacific Coast States declined to
22,099 in 1975, down 5 percent from 1974.
Processed products. Pacific Coast production of processed fishery products was $835.2 million in 1975, down
8 percent from 1974. California accounted for over half of the total with $472.3 million; Alaska was next
with $240.4 million; Washington, $75.6 million; and Oregon, $46.9 million. The production of canned products,
mainly tuna and salmon, was $514.4 million in 1975 and accounted for 62 percent of the total. Of the total
value, frozen products accounted for 25 percent; industrial, 6 percent; fresh, 4 percent; and cured, 3 percent
of the total.
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
The decline in the total value of processed products in the Pacific Coast States was due to a 20
percent decline in canned production, mainly tuna. and salmon, which more than offset increases in the value
of fresh or frozen edible products and industrial products.
The Pacific Coast States had 451 processing plemts in 1975 employing 16,891 persons on a
regular basis and 23,821 at the season's peak. In the same year, 136 wholesale establishments employed 1,344
persons on a regular basis. Compared with 1974, the number of processing plants declined by 26, but the
number of wholesale establishments increased by 18.
Anchovy. In 1975, Pacific Coast landings of anchovy (northern anchovy) were a record 329.4 million pounds
valued at $11.9 million— an increase of 86 percent in quantity, but a decrease of 19 percent in value compared
with 1974. Virtually aU U.S. landings of anchovy are caught in California waters and are primarily reduced to
fish meal and oil; a small amount (5-8 percent) is used for bait. Anchovy fishing for reduction is closely
controlled by the State of California. In 1975, the 1974-75 season ended May 15; landings were 13,000 tons
short of the extended 130,000-ton quota.
The 1975-76 season opened August 1, 1975, in the northern area (north of Point Conception) and
September 15, 1975, in the southern area (south of Point Conception). The overall quota was set at 115,000
tons, equal to the initial quota set the previous season. Prices at the beginning of the season were $35 per
ton, but declined to $29.50 by the end of the season.
Bonito. Record landings of bonito in California totaled 31.9 million pounds valued at $3.9 million, surpassing
the 1970-74 average annual landings by 62 percent in quantity and 52 percent in value. The previous high of
30.8 million pounds was in 1973. All landings were made at California ports, although 28.5 million pounds
were caught in waters south of California.
Prices dropped for fish over 4 pounds— from $270 per ton in 1974 to $240 per ton in 1975. For
fish under 4 pounds, prices went from $185 to $240 per ton in 1974 to $210 per ton in 1975. This price
decrease is attributed to increased supply.
Flounders. Landings of Pacific flounders and turbot were 56.8 million pounds valued at $8.7 million in 1975,
up 4 percent in quantity and 6 percent in value compared with 1974. Over 94 percent of the landings
consisted of "sole", namely dover sole, english sole, petrale sole, and rex sole. The most important of these is
dover sole. California was the principal State, accounting for 62 percent of the total flounder and turbot
landings. Oregon was second with 22 percent. Washington had 16 percent, and Alaska, less than 1 percent.
Halibut. Landings of Pacific halibut were 21.6 million pounds (live weight) valued at $16.3 million in 1975, up
20 percent in quantity and 35 percent in value over 1974. This was the first increase In quantity since 1970.
Landings in Alaska accounted for 93 percent of the total, and landings in Washington for almost all the
remainder. The highlight of the 1975 halibut season was the exvessel price, which averaged almost 90 cents a
pound (dressed weight), for the year, and reached a record high of $1.38 for large halibut during the latter
part of the season.
Management of the Pacific halibut fishery of the United States and Canada is coordinated
through the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC). Halibut stocks have been in a depleted
condition for a number of years, and IPHC had reduced catch quotas to remedy this. The large incidental
catch of foreign vessels using otter trawl nets has been an important cause of this depletion. In 1973, Japan
agreed to keep its fishermen out of an important Bering Sea nursery ground for 3 months. This was raised to
5-1/2 months in 1975. The U.S.S.R. agreed for the first time in 1975 to limit trawling in the Gulf of Alaska
during certain critical months.
Jack mackerel. Pacific Coast landings of jack mackerel were 36.8 million pounds valued at $1.7 million in
1975, up 44 percent in quantity and 13 percent in value over 1974. All Pacific Coast catches of jack mackerel
are made at California ports and consist of fish taken near these ports. A large majority of these landings are
canned, primarily for human consumption, but a substantial share also is canned for use as pet food. The
increase in landings probably was due largely to the rebuilding of a major canning plant in San Pedro that was
severely damaged by fire in 1973.
Lingcod. Pacific Coast landings of lingcod were 9.2 million pounds valued at $1.2 million in 1975, up 3
percent in quantity, but down 6 pecent in value compared with 1974. Washington was the leading State with
46 percent of the total; California was next with 35 percent; then Oregon, 18 percent; and Alaska, 1 percent.
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
221
This is the third year in a row that landings have been above those of most previous years. The 1975 landings
were the highest since 1948.
Pacific cod. U.S. landings of Pacific cod were 12.2 million pounds valued at $1.4 million in 1975, up 22
percent in quantity and 10 percent in value over 1974. Washington led the other States with 92 percent of the
total; Oregon accounted for 5 percent and Alaska 3 percent. The great bull< of the Washington landings were
caught in waters off British Columbia and landed at Puget Sound ports.
The foreign catch of Pacific cod off U.S. shores was 128 million pounds in 1975, down 8 percent
from 1974. All or almost all of the foreign catch was taken in Alaska waters, principally the Bering Sea and
Aleutians area. Japan was the principal catching nation.
Pacific hake. U.S. landings of Pacific hake were 3.4 million pounds valued at $50,000 in 1975, down 35
percent in quantity and 54 percent in value compared with 1974. This quantity was the lowest since 1965.
Almost 99 percent of the total landings in 1975 were made at Washington ports. As in other recent years
almost all the landings were sold directly for animal food or processed into meal and oil.
Foreign catches of hake principeilly off Oregon and Washington, were 434.2 million pounds. The
U.S.S.R. was the principal catching nation with 79 percent of the total; Poland followed with 21 percent.
Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes. Total U.S. landings of Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes
were 38.9 million pounds valued at $4.8 million in 1975, down 6 percent in quantity and 4 percent in value
compared with 1974. Landings of other rockfishes, although down slightly compared with 1974, were above
the average for the previous 5 years. Landings of Pacific ocean perch, on the other hand, have declined in
recent years and in 1975 were the lowest since 1951. California was the principal landings State for other
rockfisiies; and Washington was the principal State for Pacific ocean perch.
The foreign catch of Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes was 231.5 million pounds in 1975,
down 20 percent compared with 1974. Japan was the principal taking nation with 55 percent of the total;
followed by the U.S.S.R., 40 percent; Republic of Korea, 3 percent; Poland, 2 percent; and Canada, less than 1
percent.
Sea herring. U.S. landings of Pacific sea herring were 51.2 million pounds valued at $3.6 million in 1975,
down 9 percent in quantity and 6 percent in value compared with 1974, but substantially above the average of
31.1 million pounds for the previous 5 years. Of the total, Alaska accounted for 69 percent; Washington, 26
percent; and California, 5 percent. About 66 percent of Pacific sea herring landings was used for human
consumption. The remainder was used as bait in other fisheries.
The foreign catch of sea herring off U.S. Pacific shores was 37.8 million pounds in 1975. Japan
and the U.S.S.R. were the only catching nations. All the foreign catch was taken from the Bering Sea and
Aleutian area, whereas almost all domestic landings were caught in the Gulf of Alaska area.
Sablefish. U.S. landings of sablefish (black cod) were 19.3 million pounds valued at $2.6 million in 1975, up 23
percent in both quantity and value compared with 1974. Both quantity and value in 1975 were a record.
Landings of sablefish have been at a relatively high level since 1972, because of heavy landings in California.
Of the 1975 landings, California accounted for 73 percent of the total; Alaska, 13 percent; Washington, 10
percent; and Oregon, 4 percent. About half of the California catch is made by a greatly expanded pot fishery.
The market in California, which has been exceptionally good in recent years, has been strengthened by large
exports to Japan of prime-quality frozen sablefish.
Foreign catches of sablefish off the U.S. Pacific Coast were 72.0 million pounds in 1975, down 6
percent from 1974. Catches in the Gulf of Alaska were 54.0 million pounds; in Bering Sea and Aleutians, 9
million pounds; and in Washington, Oregon, and California, 9 million pounds. Of the total, Japan accounted
for 81 percent; Republic of Korea, 18 percent; and Poland, 1 percent.
Salmon. Domestic landings of Pacific salmon were 202.0 million pounds valued at $107.0 million in 1975, up
less than 1 percent in quantity, but down 11 percent in value compared with 1974. The decrease in value was
due to lower prices, chiefly in Alaska. Alaska accounted for 68 percent of the total landings; Washington, 23
percent; Oregon, 6 percent; and California, 3 percent.
222
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
Salmon landings in Alaska were 137.5 million pounds valued at $55.6 million in 1975, up 4
percent in quantity, but down $9.8 million (15 percent) in value. Southeast Alaska, an area that in the past 5
years has contributed 35 percent of the total annual Alaska landings, had its lowest salmon landings since the
turn of the century. The State, for the first time, closely regulated the troU fishery in the Southeast. The
gill net and purse seine fisheries, which take mainly pinks and chums, were closed for most of the season, but
were opened after August 8 when late runs improved. Bristol Bay, which had been declared a disaster area in
1974, had the highest catch since 1971 — 5.2 million salmon. The most encouraging aspect of the 1975 season
was the sockeye escapement to the spawning grounds.
Tuna. Pacific Coast landings of all species of tuna were 380.5 million pounds valued at $100.6 million for
1975, down less than 1 percent in quantity and 12 percent in value from 1974, and just 9.4 million pounds
below the record of 389.9 million pounds in 1950. California has 90 percent of the total Pacific Coast
landings; followed by Oregon, 6 percent; and Washington, 4 percent.
Although fluctuating by 50 million pounds or more, landings have been at or near record levels
since 1969, averaging 355.2 million pounds from 1969 to 1975. The 25-year average for 1944 to 1968 was
288.3 million pounds. These near-record landings were mainly attributable to increased landings of yellowfin.
In 1975, yellowfin (including bigeye) accounted for 63 percent of the Pacific Coast landings; followed by
skipjack emd black skipjack, 20 percent; albacore, 13 percent; and bluefin, 4 percent.
Albacore tuna landings were 48.9 million pounds, valued at $16.2 million in 1975, down 11
percent in quantity from 1974 and just 7 percent above the 25-year average. For the fourth consecutive year,
most of the albacore was caught off Oregon and Washington. Previously, California usually received the bulk
of Pacific Coast albacore landings. In 1975, landings in Oregon were the largest with 17.2 million pounds,
followed by Washington with 16.3 million pounds, and California with 15.4 million pounds. The season began
in June,but fishermen and buyers had a price disagreement that kept many vessels in port. Fishing began in
earnest on July 8 after a price of $675 per ton was agreed on. The 1975 price was 18 percent below the price
of $820 a ton prevailing in 1974.
Bluefin tuna landings were 16.4 million pounds, valued at $4.0 million, up 41 percent in quantity
and 22 percent in value from 1974, but about average compared with recent years. The 25-year average for
landings of bluefin tuna on the Pacific Coast was 17.1 million pounds. Prices decreased from $555 per ton in
1974 to $480 per ton in 1975. As in other years, catches were made by purse seine vessels and landed at
California ports. The fish were caught in waters off Mexico (74 percent) and California (26 percent).
Landings of skipjack and black skipjack tuna at Pacific Coast ports were 74.5 million pounds, up
22 percent from 1974, but still 12.3 million pounds below the 25-year average. Landings of yellowfin at
Pacific Coast ports were 240.4 million pounds, a decrease of 5 percent from last year's record 252.8 million
pounds. Exvessel prices for skipjack and yeUowfin decreased about 15 percent and 8 percent, respectively,
from 1974 levels. Skipjack started the year at $540 per ton, ranged between $450 and $540 per ton in AprU,
and fell to $450 per ton in June, where it remained for the rest of the year. Similarly, skipjack under 5
pounds fell from $518 to $432 per ton and yellowfin declined from $580 to $500 per ton. The average price
for black skipjack in 1975 was $107 per ton.
In accordance with recommendations by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (lATTC),
yellowfin tuna fishing by U.S. fishermen is closely regulated by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard in a major
producing area of the eastern Pacific Ocean known as the Commission's Yellowfin Regulatory Area (CYRA).
In CYRA, the quota for all countries was 175,000 short tons with allowances for two 10,000-ton increments
should data from the fishery warrant such increases. Fishermen of member nations easily reached this quota.
The season was closed on March 13, 1975. The U.S. share of the CYRA catch was 61.5 percent of the
yellowfin catch and 52.8 percent of the skipjack catch. Thirteen other countries reported landings of tuna
caught in CYRA.
Crabs, dungeness. Pacific Coast landings of dungeness crabs were 18.4 million pounds valued at $11.4 million
in 1975, up 31 percent in quantity and 23 percent in value compared with 1974. Landings of dungeness crabs
in the last 3 years (1973-75) have been at very low levels compared with landings from 1968 to 1972 when
they averaged 45.3 million pounds.
Crabs, king. U.S. landings of king crabs were 97.6 million pounds valued at $38.3 million in 1975, up 3
percent in quantity, but down 2 percent in value because of lower prices received by fishermen. The 1975-76
Alaska season opened on August 15, 1975, but because of a strike for higher prices by central and westward
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
Alaska fishermen, king crab vessels were tied up until September 15, 1975. Fishermen and processors reached
a price settlement of 42 cents per pound at Kodiak and 38 cents at Bering Sea ports.
Crabs, snow (tanner). U.S. landings were 46.9 million pounds valued at $7.0 million in 1975, down 27 percent
in quantity and 46 percent in value compared with 1974. Depressed market conditions in 1974 left large
inventories at the beginning of the 1975 season. In January, February, and March, the United States and
Japanese market demand was poor. As a consequence, fewer Alaska fishermen and vessels entered the
fishery than in 1974. The number of pots used in this fishery dropped from about 48,000 in 1974 to 37,000 in
1975.
The foreign catch of snow crabs in U.S. waters off Alaska was 22.5 million pounds in 1975, down
sharply from the 34 million pounds taken in 1974. In both years Japan was the only taking nation.
Oysters. The yield of oyster meats in the Pacific Coast States in 1975 was 5.8 million pounds valued at $7.5
million, up 15 percent in quantity and 23 percent in value over 1974. The increase in quantity was
attributable to greater production in Washington, the principal producing State.
Shrimp. Landings of Pacific Coast shrimp (excluding brine shrimp and sand shrimp) were 138.3 million pounds
valued at $13.6 million in 1975, down 2 percent in quantity and 26 percent in value compared with 1974. The
quantity was the third highest on record. Sharply lower exvessel prices in Alaska were responsible for the
decline in value. Landings in Washington, Oregon, and California increased in 1975, but not enough to offset
the decrease in Alaska, the leading producing State. Alaska landings in 1975 were 99.0 million pounds, down 9
percent; Washington landings were 10.0 million pounds, up 8 percent; Oregon landings were 23.9 million
pounds, up 18 percent; and California landings were 5.3 million pounds, up 97 percent.
Pacific Coast production of brine shrimp was 1.8 million pounds valued at $330,000 in 1975, up
11 percent in quantity and 41 percent in value compared with 1974. California was the only producing State.
Pacific Coast landings of sand shrimp, fished commercially only in Oregon, were 20,000 pounds valued at
$30,000.

SECTION 8
GREAT LAKES FISHERIES
United States and Canadian commercial fishermen, operating in the five Great Lakes and in
three of the five International Lakes of northern Minnesota and Canada, landed 104.6 million pounds of
freshwater fish in 1975— a decrease of 23.8 million pounds compared with 1974. Most of the decrease was in
Lake Erie (down 19 percent) and Lake Michigan (down 24 percent). In the United States, production from the
International Lakes decreased 14 percent; in Canada, landings increased 3 percent.
Canada produced 42.9 million pounds of fish during 1975, a decrease of 7.3 million pounds
compared with the previous year. This catch constituted 41 percent of the total production from both
countries. As in previous years, smelt and yellow perch dominated the Canadian catch, accounting for 62
percent of the total landings in 1975.
The U.S. landings of 61.7 million pounds valued at $9.3 million decreased 16.5 million pounds and
$1.5 million compared with 1974. In 1975, U.S. fishermen received an average price of 15.0 cents per pound—
a gain of 1.3 cents compared with 1974. Alewives, taken only in Lake Michigan, were 57 percent of the total
U.S. catch. Landings of this species were 35.2 million pounds, 10.3 million pounds below the record harvest in
1974. Decreases for other major species were carp, down 5 percent; chubs, 50 percent; lake herring, 12
percent; smelt, 33 percent, suckers, 19 percent; white bass, 42 percent; and yellow perch, down 23 percent.
Increases for the more important species were burbot, up 14 percent; lake trout, 25 percent; sheepshead, 22
percent; and whitefish (common), up 3 percent. U.S. landings from Lake Michigan were 45.3 million pounds;
followed by Lake Erie, 8.5 million; Lake Superior, 4.7 million; Lake Huron, 1.9 million; International Lakes,
1.0 million pounds; and Lake Ontario, 232,600 pounds. Wisconsin, with 38.8 million pounds, led in volume of
landings followed by Michigan with 12.0 million; Ohio, 7.3 million; Minnesota, 2.2 million pounds; New York,
598,100 pounds; Pennsylvania, 312,400; Illinois, 240,100; and Indiana, 198,400 pounds.
Fishermen and vessels. In 1975, 1,201 fishermen operated 220 vessels (5 net tons or more) and 554 smaller
craft in the U.S. commercial fisheries of the Great Lakes and International Lakes. Compared with 1974, this
was a decrease of 188 fishermen, 20 vessels, and 114 small craft.
Processed products. The value of processed seafood items was $69.6 million, an increase of $13.0 million
compared with 1974. Ohio led with products valued at $46.0 million; followed by Illinois, $12.2 million;
Wisconsin, $5.7 million; and Michigan $4.4 million. New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota supplied the
remaining $1.3 million. The 160 wholesaling and processing plants in the eight States employed 2,175 persons.
U.S. landings by lake.
Lake Ontario. The 1975 production of 232,600 pounds was 91,100 pounds lower than in 1974.
Landings were the smallest since 1965 when 217,000 pounds were produced. Landings of bullheads, eels, and
white and yellow perch were 76 percent of the total harvest. The average price per pound for all species in
1975 was 42.4 cents compared with 36.0 cents in 1974.
Lake Erie. Landings were 8.5 million pounds worth $2.0 million, a decrease of 1.3 million
pounds and $123,054 compared with 1974. White bass (1.7 million pounds) and yellow perch (1.9 million
pounds) declined 1.2 million pounds and 464,300 pounds, respectively. Landings of carp (3.2 million pounds)
increased 110,600 pounds and sheepshead (853,800 pounds) was up 161,100 pounds. U.S. landings accounted for
22 percent of the Lake Erie production. Canada has outproduced the United States since 1954.
Lake Michigan. Landings were 45.3 million pounds worth $4.6 million, a decrease of 14.2
million pounds and $1.7 rnillion compared with the record volume and value in 1974. Alewives constituted 78
percent of the entire lake's landings. Compared with 1974, landings of several major species had significant
declines in production: alewives (35.2 million pounds), down 23 percent; carp (2.9 million), down 11 percent;
chubs (924,300 pounds), down 72 percent; smelt (1.2 million pounds), down 33 percent; suckers (340,800
pounds), down 33 percent; and yellow perch (793,900 pounds), down 39 percent. Landings of whitefish (3.6
million pounds) have been increasing since 1966; however, for the first time in 10 years the production of this
species decreased, but only by 91,400 pounds. Biologists state that the abundance of this species is still high.
Since 1971, the coho salmon fishery has been closed, because contaminants DDT and PCB (polychlorinated
byphenyl— a DDT-like compound) were present. The fishery began in 1967 as a result of the State of
Michigan's propagation efforts. In 1967 the production of this species was 1.5 million pounds; by 1970, 2.2
million pounds were harvested.
Lake Superior. Landings of 4.7 million pounds valued at $1.8 million declined 14 percent in
volume, but increased 14 percent in value compared with 1974. Landings of chubs (1.5 million pounds)
GREAT LAKES FISHERIES
279
declined 6 percent; lake herring (509,900), 11 percent; smelt (1.4 million), 34 percent; and suckers (51,000), 66
percent. Lake herring production has been steadily decreasing since 1941, when nearly 18 million pounds were
caught. The average price per pound for all species in 1975 was 37.9 cents; a 9.4 cents per pound increase
compared with 1975.
Commercial fishing for yellow pike has been banned in Ohio and Michigan since April 1970
because of polluted waters in their areas of the lake. Production from the State of Michigan resulted from
test netting operations to monitor the mercury content of fish.
Lake Huron. Commercial fishermen landed 1.9 million pounds valued at $629,865— an increase
of 139,700 pounds and $166,129 compared with 1974. The production was 8 percent above the all-time low
harvest of 1974. Carp was the only major species that declined in 1975. Landings declined 55,000 pounds to
the lowest level since 1930. Whitefish (common) landings of 405,100 pounds increased 50 percent compared
with 1974 and was more than double the 10-year average (1965-74). Landings of yellow perch (269,000
pounds) increased 17 percent and catfish (282,900 pounds) increased 4 percent compared with 1974. It is
illegal to take chubs in Lake Huron. Since 1961, when 3.2 million pounds were landed, catches of this species
have been declining. The average price per pound for all species increased from 27.0 cents in 1974 to 33.9
cents in 1975.
International lakes. In 1975, 95 percent of the total landings from these waters came from Lake
of the Woods. Burbot; suckers, tuUibee, and yellow pike constituted 88 percent of the catch. The average
price per pound is 20.0 cents compared to 15.0 cents in the Great Lakes.
Factors affecting the fisheries. Biologists reveal that in 1975 Lake Erie had a very good hatch of yellow
pike, but a very poor one for yellow perch. The outlook for yellow perch is not good. Consideration is being
given to raising the size limit from 8 to 8-1/2 inches. About 400,000 pounds annually are caught in Lake
Ontario with Canada landings over 75 percent. It is not known when and if this species will be allowed to be
caught commercially.
Lake Michigan .las a partial ban on chub fishing. According to biologists, chubs are at a very
low level of abundance (about 2 percent of the 1960-61 level). However, the average weight of chubs in 1975
has doubled since 1960-61.
Other information. Condensed summary data on the landings by Lakes and States appearing in
the following pages have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No. 7410.

SECTION 9
MISSISSIPPI RIVER FISHERIES
Commercial landings of fish and shellfish from the waters of the Mississippi River and tributaries
were 72.5 million pounds valued at $15.0 million, a decrease of 2.9 million pounds and $700,000 compared with
1974. Landings decreased for most major species of fish and shellfish. Landings of buffalofish (23.4 million
pounds) decreased 7 percent; carp (15.4 million), 9 percent; catfish and bullheads (13.0 million), 8 percent;
sheepshead (5.4 million), 11 percent; and mussel shells (2.1 million pounds), 37 percent. Landings of crawfish
(6.6 million pounds) increased 85 percent compared with 1975.
Buffalofish, carp, catfish and bullheads, sheepshead, crawfish, and mussel shells accounted for 91
percent of the volume and 94 percent of the value. The landings were made by 12,993 fishermen, using 12,211
motorboats and 280 other boats. This was a decrease of 58 fishermen and 65 motorboats, but an increase of
21 other boats compared with 1974.
Louisiana was the leading State in volume with 13.4 million pounds, followed by Arkansas (9.4
million) and Tennessee (6.5 million pounds). Arkansas led in value of landings with $3.0 million, followed by
Louisiana ($2.9 million) and Tennessee with ($1.4 million).
The value of processed products was $61.3 million— $20.2 million (49 percent) more than in 1974.
Frozen packaged fishery products valued at $38.5 million were 63 percent of the total value of processed
items. There were 2,601 persons employed in 352 wholesaling and processing plants in 22 States in 1975.

SECTION 1 0 - HAWAII FISHERIES
Landings of commercially caught fish and shellfish in the State of Hawaii were 9.2 million
pounds worth $6.3 million, a decline of 1.8 million pounds (16 percent), but an increase of $284,000 (5 percent)
compared with 1974. Landings were the smallest since 1970 and 35 percent below the average for the
previous 4 years (1971-74). A smaller harvest of skipjack tuna was the principal reason for the decline.
Landings of skipjack was 5.0 million pounds in 1975—32 percent less than in 1974. Landings of bigeye also
declined moderately, but landings of albacore, bluefin, little, and yellowfin increased.
Fish and shellfish were landed at six of the eight principal islands in the State of Hawaii. Oahu
led the islands with a production of 6.2 million pounds. Hawaii was next with 2.2 million pounds, followed by
Maui with 456,000 pounds. The rest of the landings were made at Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai.
Other Information. Condensed summary data on the operating units and landings of the State of Hawaii, by
islands, appearing in the foUowing pages have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No.
7412.
Acknowledgments. The data in this section were assembled and prepared for publication by NMFS area
office, Honolulu, Hawaii, largely from information collected by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural
Resources, Division of Fish and Game.

SECTION 1 1
PUERTO RICO FISHERIES
Landings in Puerto Rico are not included in the United States landings table in the General
Review or Review of Certain Major Fisheries sections.
Puerto Rico landings were a record 181.1 million pounds worth $46.8 million— an increase of
12.6 million pounds (7 percent) but a decline of $986,000 (2 percent) compared with 1974. The increase in
volume resulted principally from record landings of tuna, the most important species landed in Puerto Rico.
The value of tuna landings ($44.4 million) declined 3 percent compared with the record value in 1974.
Tuna landings of 177.1 million pounds were 12.1 million (7 percent) more than in 1974.
YeUowfin tuna predominated with landings of 99.6 million pounds— compared with 88.6 million in 1974.
Landings of yellowfin tuna were 56 percent of the total tuna production. Landings of sl<ipjack tuna were 76.7
million pounds— a gain of 616,000 pounds compared with 1974. Bluefin tuna landings of 760,000 pounds
increased 442,000 pounds compared with 1974.
Landings made by local fishermen, consisting largely of marine fish and shellfish, were 4.0
million pounds worth $2.3 million— an increase of 14 percent in volume and 29 percent in value compared with
1974. Fish were 86 percent of the total local landings. At least 1,230 fishermen operated 865 boats, an
increase of 48 fishermen and 30 boats compared with the previous year. The fishing gear consisted principally
of fish pots (57 percent), and hand and troU lines (29 percent). The pot fishery was concentrated mainly in the
western region. Cabo Rojo, the fishing center with the most fish pots, was also the area showing the greatest
production.
Data on local Puerto Rico fisheries are from statistics published by the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, Department of Agriculture.

SECTION 12
REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
331
In this Section, there are complete data on the commercial landings of certain major species of
fish and shellfish tal<en in the U.S. fisheries. Additional information is presented on the operating units for
many of these fisheries. Most of the major species are taken by several types of fishing gear operated in two
or more States; because of this, the casual reader of the digest may have difficulty in locating complete data.
The information contained in this Section includes operating units and the volume and value of the catch by
types of gear, by States, or by districts.
ATLANTIC OCEAN PERCH FISHERY, 1975
Landings of Atlantic ocean perch were 32.1 million pounds worth $3.3 million, a decline of 9.4
million pounds and $44,000. The production was the smallest since 1935 and 20.0 million pounds below the
average for the previous 5 years.
Maine landings of 21.5 million pounds valued at $2.0 million was 67 percent of the volume and
60 percent of the value. Massachusetts accounted for 10.5 million pounds worth $1.3 million. The remainder
was landed in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Virginia.
Ninety-nine percent of the catch was taken by fish otter trawls.
and lobster otter trawls, gill nets, and lines.
The rest were taken by shrimp

U.S. COD FISHERY, 1975
Landings of cod were 68.4 million pounds valued at $14.6 million— a decline of 300,000 pounds,
but an increase of $2.0 million compared with 1974. Landings at Massachusetts ports were 69 percent of the
total, followed by Washington with 17 percent; Maine, 8 percent; and Rhode Island, 3 percent. The remainder
was landed in eight other Atlantic and Pacific Coast States.
Eighty-one percent of the catch was taken by otter trawls, 13 percent by lines, 6 percent by gill
nets, and the remainder was taken by purse seines, midwater trawls, pound nets, beam trawls, floating traps,
pots and traps, and dredges.

PACIFIC COAST SALMON FISHERY, 1975
Landings of salmon at Pacific Coast ports were 202.0 million pounds worth $107.0 million, an
increase of 530,000 pounds but a decline of $13.2 million. The harvest vuas the second smallest since 1915 and
76.4 million pounds below the previous 5-year average. Landings of pink salmon increased 45 percent; red
salmon, 7 percent; and Chinook salmon increased 5 percent. The increase in these three species offset the 22-
percent decline in chum and the 32-percent decline in silver salmon.
Landings in Alaska (137.5 million pounds) increased 4 percent and Washington (45.2 million
pounds) increased 2 percent. Landings in Oregon (12.4 million pounds) declined 19 percent,and California with
6.9 million pounds declined 21 percent.
Gill nets took 100.6 million pounds of the landings of Pacific salmon (50 percent); purse seines,
69.7 million pounds (35 percent); and lines, 28.8 million pounds (14 percent). The remaining 1 percent was
taken by haul seines, otter trawls, pound nets, floating traps, pots, dip nets, reef nets, and wheels.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN AAAJOR FISHERIES
341
ATLANTIC COAST TUNA FISHERY, 1975
Landings of tuna along the Atlantic Coast of 4.9 million pounds valued at $1.8 million were up
2.5 million pounds (102 percent) and $797,000 (80 percent) over 1974. Larger landings of bluefin tuna in
Massachusetts and New Jersey were the reason for the increase in volume. Landings of bluefin tuna in
Massachusetts (2.2 million pounds) increased 78 percent and in New Jersey (2.5 million pounds) increased 188
percent. Fishermen received an average price of 37 cents a pound for bluefin tuna in 1975 compared to 41
cents in 1974.
Purse seines took 72 percent of the harvest; lines, 15 percent; harpoons, 12 percent. An
negligible amount was taken by haul seines, otter trawls, midwater trawls, pound nets, floating traps, and gill
nets.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
PACIFIC TUNA FISHERY, 1975
Domestic landings of tuna at Pacific Coast and Hawaii ports were 387.6 million pounds worth
$105.1 million, decreases of 2.2 million pounds and $13.2 million compared with 1974. Landings of albacore
tuna (49.0 million pounds) ueelined 11 percent and yeUowfin (242.0 million pounds) declined 5 percent.
Landings of bluefin tuna (16.4 million pounds) increased 41 percent and skipjack tuna (79.5 million pounds)
increased 16 percent.
The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (lATTC) set an international quota for the
yeUowfin tuna fishery in the regulatory area of the eastern Pacific Ocean for 1975 of 175,000 short tons with
allowances for the increments of 10,000 tons each should data from the fishery warrant such increases. In
1975 the season on yeUowfin opened on January 1. The quota was easily reached, and the season was closed
March 27. During the closed season the lATTC allowed small vessels (400 tons carrying capacity, all member
nations) to catch 6,000 tons of yeUowfin. The commission also granted permission to one member nation to
catch an additional 10,000 tons of yeUowfin during the closed season.
Purse seines, the principal gear used in taking yeUowfin, skipjack, and bluefin accounted for 81
percent of the landings. Hand and troU lines, "used mainly in taking albacore, accounted for almost all the
rest. Gill nets and other unspecified gears took a negligible quantity.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
U.S. MENHADEN FISHERY, 1975
Menhaden landings of 1.8 billion pounds worth $49.3 million declined 197.8 million pounds and
$17.6 million compared with 1974. The sharp drop in value reflects a decline in prices for fish meal and fish
oil from the abnormally high levels of 1974.
Menhaden landings in the Gulf States were 1.2 billion pounds in 1975, down 99 million pounds
compared with 1974, but the third largest on record. Landings of Atlantic menhaden were 606.2 million
pounds in 1975, down 98.8 million pounds. The Gulf States accounted for 66 percent of the total landings,
followed by the Chesapeake States (18 percent); the South Atlantic States (9 percent); the Middle Atlantic
States (4 percent); and New England States (3 percent).
Purse seines accounted for 82 percent of the landings in 1974.
123 vessels, and ''15 boats employed in the menhaden purse seine fishery.
There were 1,906 fishermen,

U.S. CLAM FISHERY 1975
Total U.S. landings of all species of clams in 1975 were 113.4 million pounds worth a record
$43.4 million. This was 8.3 million pounds less, but $2.0 million more than in 1974, the record year for
quantity. The reason for the decline in harvest was the 10 percent or 9 million pounds decline in landings of
surf clams.
Surf clams, landed mainly in Virginia and New Jersey, accounted for 77 percent of the U.S.
production; hard clams, 13 percent; and soft clams, 8 percent. The remainder consisted of cockle, geoduck,
ocean quahog, razor, and mixed clams.
The Middle Atlantic States were the major producers of clams with 47 percent of the catch,
followed by the Chesapeake States with 41 percent; the New England States with 10 percent; and the South
Atlantic and Pacific Coast States with the remaining 2 percent.
Dredges accounted for 81 percent of the U.S. landings of all species, followed by hoes, 7
percent; rakes, 5 percent; and tongs, 4 percent. The rest were taken by otter trawls, midwater trawls, gill
nets, shovels, picks, diving outfits, and by hand.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
U.S. CRAB LANDINGS, 1975
The U.S. catch of crabs was 306.1 million pounds worth $81.0 million, decreases of 8 percent in
volume and 5 percent in value compared with 1974. All species of crabs declined in volume except for
dungeness, king, and rock crabs. However, the principal reason for the lower volume was a 27-percent decline
in landings of snow crabs, mainly because of poor market conditions and high inventories in cold storage.
Landings of snow crabs (landed only in Alaska) were 46.9 million pounds value at $7.0 million in 1975
compared with a record 63.9 million pounds valued at $13.1 million in 1974. A price dispute between
fishermen and buyers almost halted snow crab fishing during part of the 1975 fishing season. The average
price per pound for snow crabs was 15 cents in 1975 and 20 cents in 1974. Hard blue crabs with 134.7 million
pounds or 44 percent of the total production declined 10 percent.
The Pacific Coast States led in volume with 164.3 million pounds (54 percent of the total),
followed by the Chesapeake States, 61.5 million pounds (20 percent); the Gulf States, 41.0 million pounds (13
percent); and the South Atlantic States, 30.6 million pounds (10 percent). The rest were taken in the New
England and Middle Atlantic States, and Hawaii.
Fishermen took 283.2 million pounds (93 percent of the total) with pots and 10.3 million pounds
(3 percent) with lines. Otter trawls and dredges each took 5.4 million pounds (2 percent). The remainder was
taken by haul seines, purse seines, pound nets, gill nets, dip nets, lift nets, scrapes, and brush traps.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
U.S. OYSTER FISHERY, 1975
The U.S. oyster fishery produced 53.2 million pounds of meats worth $45.0 million, an increase
of 2.7 million pounds and $3.7 million compared with 1974.
The Chesapeake States led in production with 22.6 million pounds (43 percent of the total),
followed by the Gulf States with 19.3 million (36 percent); the Pacific Coast States, 5.8 million (U percent);
and the Middle Atlantic States, 3.3 million pounds (6 percent). The New England and South Atlantic States
accounted for the rest.
.Dredges took 30.0 million pounds (56 percent) of the oyster landings, and tongs 21.1 million
pounds (40 percent). The rest were taken by rakes, or gathered by hand.
In Section 13 of this Digest is a table which gives the volume of the bushel measures used for
oysters in the various Atlantic and Gulf States and the average yield per bushel. Supplementary shellfish
tables appear after the summary table for each Atlantic and Gulf regional section.

SECTION 13
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
"Fishery Statistics of the United States" (Statistical Digest) is prepared by the Resource
Statistics Division/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U .S . Department of Commerce,
and is a continuation of a series inaugurated by predecessor organizations in the Department of
Interior, Commerce, and Commerce and Labor, and the U.S. Fish Commission. The Statistical
Digest contains detailed statistics and analytical textual reviews on the commercial fisheries of
the United States. Included are data on the quantity and value of the commercial landings of
fishery products by States, larger geographic regions and gear; and the number of persons, ves-
sels, boats, and fishing gear engaged in the fisheries. In the sections on the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River, the catch is also tabulated by water bodies. The Statistical Digest also con-
tains data on the volume and value of processed fishery products, freezings and cold storage
holdings, foreign trade, and other related information.
Following is a brief history of the statistical surveys that have been conducted in the United
States and a description of the procedures used to collect the different kinds of data in the var-
ious geographical areas of the country.
History — The first comprehensive statistical study of the fisheries and fishery industries
of the United States was made for the year 1880 by George Brown Goode, Assistant Director of
the U.S. National Museum, and associates, with the cooperation of the Commissioner of Fisher-
ies and the Superintendent of the Tenth Census. Data for specific fisheries or geographic areas
for years prior to 1880, also were collected in the early survey and recorded in Mr. Goode's re-
ports. The survey for 1880, however, did not include the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
Periodic general surveys of a limited number of States or limited areas of the United States were
made for the years from 1880 to 1907 and from 1909 to 1928. The first complete statistical can-
vass of the entire United States was made for 1908 by the Bureau of the Census. The next gen-
eral survey of the entire United States was not made until 1931, although complete data for all
areas, excluding the Mississippi River and its tributaries, were collected for 1929 and 1930.
Complete data on the catch and operating units for these same sections were also collected for
1932. In the latter survey, however, lack of sufficient funds prohibited collection of data on
the wholesale and manufacturing operations except those data collected as a part of the canned
fishery products and byproducts survey. Various geographic areas were surveyed during the years
from 1933to 1949, inclusive, A complete survey of all sections of the country was made for 1950,
Since 1951, all of the coastal areas have been canvassed annually, and catch records have been
obtained for the Great Lakes area. Complete operating unit and catch data have been obtained for
all areas since 1954, except that only a partial survey of the Mississippi River and its tributaries
was made for 1961, Data on the wholesale and manufacturing industries were collected in all of
the surveys from 19 33 to 1940, inclusive . In the years from 1941 to 1949, inclusive, and in 1951,
lack of experienced personnel and budgetary limitations precluded the collection of data on whole-
sale and manufacturing firms except for those data collected as part of the canned fishery prod-
ucts, industrial products, and packaged fish surveys.
The chart on page 378 indicates the years for which surveys have been made in the various
sections. Since the surveys of the fisheries have varied in completeness, three legends have
been used for the years shown in the chart to indicate whether complete, partial, or no surveys
were conducted in the individual regions. The designation "complete survey" has been used to
indicate that basic operating unit and catch data were obtained and that complete information was
collected on employment in wholesale and manufacturing establishments and on the production of
manufactured fishery products. The legend "partial survey" usually indicates that operating unit
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
377
and catch statistics were collected, but that no Information was obtained on employment in whole-
sale and manufacturing establishments and that only partial data were obtained on the production
of manufactured fishery products. In some instances the designation "partial survey" is used for
regions in which only catch statistics were collected. The legend "no survey" indicates that a
general canvass was not conducted to obtain operating unit, catch, employment in wholesale and
manufacturing plants, and complete manufactured products data. Although the chart indicates that
in certain regions no surveys were conducted, some information may be available on the landings
at certain important ports. Likewise, information on the catch of certain species, such as men-
haden, may be available as a result of data collected in connection with the annual canned fish
and byproducts survey. Data on the annual production of canned fishery products and byproducts
have been collected for all regions since 1921, while information has been obtained on the pro-
duction of packaged fish for 1926 and annually since 1928.
A bibliography listing the various surveys made since 1880 and the publications in which the
results were published appeared in Statistical Digest No. 43. "Fishery Statistics of the United
States, 1956." Figures for recent years are available from NMFS in bulletin form, but data for the
earlier years are available only in the Fish Commission and Bureau of Fisheries printed reports.
These reports are on file in the Department of Commerce library and in many public libraries.
Field Personnel — The statistics contained in this volume have been collected by trained
fishery reporting specialists of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and, in some cases,
by personnel of State fishery agencies. The fishery reporting specialists are assigned to field
stations, generally in the principal port within their areas, and travel from that station to conduct
their various surveys.
Period Covered — Most of the reporting agents collect statistics on landings for the cur-
rent year and assemble final operating unit, catch,and processed products data for the previous
year. It is usually 3 to 10 months after the end of the calendar year for which they are collect-
ing data before the final figures for the Digest are available. The data are tabulated and prepared
for publication as soon as possible after the end of the year. The figures are collected and pub-
lished on a calendar year basis. Prior to 1930, statistics on the catch of oysters in the Atlantic
and Gulf States were collected for the oyster season; this is, from September to April, inclusive.
Since 1930, they have been collected on a calendar year basis.
Scope — The coastal statistical surveys include canvasses of the commercial fisheries of
the oceans, bays, and coastal rivers as far inland as commercial fishing is important. This usu-
ally coincides with the range of commercial fishing for anadromous species. Statistics on the
fisheries of the Mississippi River include those of the Mississippi River proper as well as all of
its tributaries wherein commercial fishing for either fish, crustaceans, or moUusks is carried on.
Statistics on the fisheries of the Great Lakes cover canvasses of the fisheries of the lakes proper,
adjacent bays, the International Lakes of northern Minnesota, and rivers which sustain a com-
mercial fishery having outlets into these waters. Statistics on the fisheries of Florida include
the commercial fisheries in Lake Okeechobee and other inland lakes. Surveys for statistics of
the wholesale and processing fishing industries cover plants located in the coastal, river, and
lake areas adjacent to the waters mentioned above.
Methods of Collection — There are several methods used to collect fishery statistics,
each of which has been carefully studied to obtain the best results with available personnel and
funds. In the preparation of operating units data, field personnel are supplied with a deck of
prepunched vessel cards obtained from the Bureau of Customs. These cards indicate the name,
official number, rig code, gross tonnage, length, and year built. Field personnel enter the num-
ber of crewmen, and number and type of gear used by the vessel. These data are obtained by
interview. Data on the craft of less than 5 net tons are obtained from State conservation agen-
cies and by contact with firms purchasing fish or shellfish from fishermen. The data thus ob-
tained are machine processed to ensure accuracy.

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
379
Data on over 96 percent of the catch are available from summaries of monthly landings bul-
letins and other current records assembled by NMFS or the various States. If complete catch data
are not available from central sources, wholesale dealers and manufacturers of fishery products
are visited, and data are obtained from them on their purchases of fish and shellfish. It is im-
possible for the few Service representatives available for this work to interview each fisherman
in a given locality. However, the more important areas and a sufficient number of areas of les-
ser importance are visited to obtain reliable information on production, the number of fishing
craft engaged, the quantity of gear operated, catch by gear and waters, and the number of per-
sons employed as fishermen.
The Service's role with regard to fishery statistics is principally that of coordinating the col-
lection of information and assembling, analyzing, publishing, and disseminating fishery data.
The State fishery agencies in a number of States have developed relatively complete statistical
systems which greatly facilitate the Service's surveys in these States. In such instances, the
Service conducts only such surveys as may be necessary to make the data comparable with those
of other States .
NMFS obtains from the records of the State fishery agencies most of the catch statistics for
the fisheries of the Great Lakes, the northern Mississippi River area, and the International Lakes
of northern Minnesota. To obtain data on the number of fishermen, boats, vessels, and gear, the
Service conducts such personal surveys among the fishermen as may be necessary to supplement
the State records .
NMFS statistical personnel are stationed at Seattle, Wash., and Terminal Island, Cal . for
the purpose of surveying the fisheries of Washington, Oregon, and Caiifornia . They obtain from
the records of the State fishery departments figures on the volume of the catch and operating
units. The value of the catch is derived from State and dealers' records . In Washington and
Oregon, data for operating units in the offshore fisheries are obtained from the records of various
fishery organizations as well as from records of the State fishery agencies. Statistics on the
wholesale fishery industry for this section are obtained largely by personal interviews.
In many States, NMFS and the fishery agency of the respective States cooperate in the collec-
tion and publication of current monthly and annual data on the catch. These data form the basis
of the annual catch figures published in the Digest for the following States: Maine, Massachu-
setts, Rhodelsland, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin .
In the administration of the Alaska fisheries, the State requires that copies of all receipts for
fish and shellfish purchases from fishermen be furnished to the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game. The data on these tickets are compiled and made available to NMFS. The summary data,
by districts, are reproduced in this report.
Statistics on the volume of the catch of fish in the Great Lakes States usually are shown in
weights as landed, which may be in the round or drawn condition. Statistics on the volume of the
catch of fish taken in the remainder of the United States are usually shown in round weight.
The figures in the tables for shellfish represent the weight of the meats in the case of uni-
valve and bivalve mollusks, and round weight in the case of crustaceans and such cephalopods
as squid and octopus.

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
Shore and Vessel Fisheries — In general, statistics of the shore fisheries collected
by NMFS representatives include data on the number of casual and regular fishermen; number of
motor and other fishing boats (craft of less than 5 net tons capacity are called "boats"); type and
quantity of gear used; and the volume, value, and method of capture of each species for each lo-
cality or group of localities. The availability of data collected by some State fishery agencies
obviates the necessity of detailed surveys by NMFS personnel.
Statistics on the vessel fisheries include data on the number in the crew; rig of vessels;
gross tonnage; kind and quantity of gear used; and volume, value, and method of capture of each
species. Craft having a capacity of 5 net tons or over are called "vessels." As in the shore
fisheries, the availability of figures collected by State fishery agencies may eliminate the neces-
sity of Service agents collecting these data for individual vessels. Information on the year ves-
sels were built was assembled for 1961, 1966, and 1968 to present.
Statistics on the quantity of gear operated indicate the maximum number of units fished at
any one time during the year. Gear carried in reserve for replacement is not reported.
All persons engaged in commercial fishing operations are included as fishermen. In most ar-
eas, fishermen not on vessels have been divided i nt o " full -time" and "part-time ." Full-time
fishermen are defined as those who receive more than one-half their annual income from fishing,
whereas part-time fishermen are those who receive less than one-half their annual compensation
from fishing. It has not been possible to separate full-time from part-time fishermen on the Paci-
fic Coast .
Since 1942, the catch of fish and shellfish has been credited to the port at which it was
landed. Prior to the survey for that year, it was the practice of NMFS to credit the entire catch
of a vessel to the principal port at which fish or shellfish were unloaded, regardless of the ac-
tual home port of the vessels. This policy was discontinued since it quite often resulted in in-
consistencies by crediting landings of some species to areas far removed from localities in which
they are commonly taken. An outstanding example of this is the southern trawl fishery conducted
off the New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina coasts. Some fishing vessels from
New England operate in this fishery for 6 to 10 weeks during the winter season. Prior to the sur-
vey for 1942, the catch of these vessels, consisting principally of fish common to Middle Atlan-
tic waters, was credited to Massachusetts. Under the present system, this catch is credited to
the Middle Atlantic ports where it is landed.
Since 1949 on the Pacific Coast and 1951 for the remainder of the country, craft, fishermen,
and gear have been reported for each State in which they fished. A total exclusive of duplica-
tion is shown for each section and for the United States as a whole. Prior to the surveys for
1949, each craft on the Pacific Coast was credited to its home port unless it did not fish from
that port during the year. In that case, it was credited to the locality where it landed the great-
est portion of its catch. Prior to the survey for 1951, each craft on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts
and Interior waters was credited to the port where it landed the greatest portion of its catch dur-
ing the year. This system was changed to provide more accurate data on the total number of craft
operating in a given State. With the increased mobility of the fishing fleet in recent years, the
number of vessels fishing in more than one State has increased greatly.
Beginning with data for 1951, the reporting of units of gear was standardized so that nets or
lines made up of small units for ease in handling, but fastened together in fishing, were counted
as a single unit rather than as a number of smaller units. Prior to 1951, the small units were
sometimes counted as Individual pieces of gear even though they were combined for fishing.
This rule does not apply to halibut longlines or setllnes on the Pacific Coast. In this fishery,
each skate of gear is counted as one line, even though fastened together in fishing, because the
International Pacific Halibut Commission uses a skate as a unit in its studies of fishing intensity.
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
38 1
Beginning with 1962, only summary data have been shown on the number of fishing gear oper-
ated in the Great Lakes and the International Lakes of northern Minnesota, These data appear in
the General Review section of the Digest in the table "Summary of Operating Units." In detailed
operating unit tables for these lakes, the number and size of gear have been replaced by informa-
tion on the fishing effort expended in the operation of each gear.
Publication of Data — Statistics on employment in the fisheries, craft and gear engaged,
quantity and value of catch, and certain data on industries related to the fisheries are summarized
according to geographic divisions and published in bulletin form as soon as possible after the
completion of each survey. Later, the figures, in more detail, are included in this statistical
report.
Data on the operating units (fishermen, fishing craft, and gear) and catch by counties for the
Atlantic and Gulf States have been included in these annual statistical reports for the years from
1928 to 1938 except for 1932. These data have also been published in the digests for the years
1945, 1950, 1955, and 1960. County data were collected for the State in which surveys were
conducted during the years since 1938, except for Maryland. Between 1942 and 1959, only oper-
ating unit data by counties have been obtained for Maryland. Complete data were obtained for
1960. County data assembled for the years since 1938 which were not published in the Digest
are on file in the Washington Office of the Data Management and Statistics Division.
LOCAL AND SPECIAL SURVEYS
Landings at Certain Massachusetts Ports — Detailed statistics are collected on
the landings of aquatic products by individual fishing craft at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford,
Plymouth, Provincetown, and other Cape Cod ports. Data on the landings at Boston and Glouces-
ter have been collected annually since 1893. Information on landings at New Bedford has been
collected annually since 1938; and at Plymouth, Provincetown, and other Cape Cod ports since
1945. NMFS representatives are stationed at the principal ports. They obtain figures on the
quantity and value of fish landed daily by fishing craft, the dates of departure and arrival of the
craft, the gear used in their capture, the grounds from which the fish were taken, and other re-
lated information. The Service's Office of Resource Research cooperates in the collection of
these data .
Statistics on landings at the above ports are released monthly and annually in bulletin form,
and summary data are published in the annual Statistical Digest.
Shad and Alewife Fisheries — Surveys for statistics on the catch, value of catch,
and operating units in the Hudson and Potomac River shad fisheries are made annually. On the
Potomac River, similar statistics are also obtained for the alewife fishery. Much of the data re-
quired for these surveys is available from the States' fishery agencies.
Annual data on the shad and alewife fisheries are not published separately in bulletin form.
However, a summary is published in various Digests.
Statistics on the Hudson River shad fishery are available for 1896, 1897, 189£, 1901, 1904,
1910, and continuously since 1915 „ Data for the Potomac River shad fisheryare available for
1896, 1901, 1904, 1909, 1915, 1919 to 1942, and 1944 to 197 1 , inclusive . Statistics on the
Potomac River alewife fishery are available for 1896 , 1909, 1915, 1919 to 1942, and 1944 to 1971,
inclusive .
382
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Shrimp F i s he ry - -Detailed statistics on
quantity and value of shrimp, by variety and size, landed at South Atlantic and Gulf ports, have
been collected for the Gulf area since 1955 and the South Atlantic since 1957. Since 1956, NMFS
personnel have also obtained daily information on the number of fishing trips, area and depth
fished, and time spent fishing for craft landing at U.S. ports in the Gulf of Mexico . Various
fishery agencies of the southern States cooperate in the collection of these data.
Detailed monthly and annual summaries of the statistics on shrimp catch and landings are
published in bulletin form and are summarized in the Statistical Digests.
Historical Fishery Statistics — NMFS has in its files and in various reports or pub-
lications, a large volume of historical data on fisheries. Beginning with the 1951 Digest, a sec-
tion entitled "Historical Fishery Statistics," which includes complete historical information on
selected species, has been carried. There is published each year a listing of the titles of the
series of data appearing in earlier editions.
Review of Certain Major Fisheries — For the years 1942-75, tabulations contain-
ing complete data on the catch of certain major species have been included in a section of the
Digest entitled "Review of Certain Major Fisheries." Although the data are included in the de-
tailed catch tables of the various States, they are consolidated in this section to provide a sin-
gle source of data for cod, haddock, menhaden, Atlantic ocean perch, salmon, tuna, oysters,
clams, crabs, and shrimp. Data on operating units in the following fisheries have likewise been
consolidated in this section: salmon purse seine and troll line, Atlantic and Pacific Coast tuna ,
menhaden purse seine, fish and shrimp otter trawls.
Canned Fishery Products and Industrial P ro d u c t s --Since 1921, NMFS has
made annual sectional surveys for statistics on canned and industrial fishery products . These
surveys are started the first week in January of each year for statistics on the production in the
preceding year. So far as possible, the Service obtains by mail, statistics on the annual produc-
tion of each domestic canned and industrial fishery products plant. If it is impossible to obtain
the information by mail, the report is secured by a NMFS representative. Included in the data
obtained are statistics on the yield and value of the canned products by type of commodity, can
size, and area of production. Data on industrial products are obtained by commodity and area of
production. The value shown for canned and industrial products is the gross amount received by
the packer at the production point. No deductions are made for commissions or expenses.
Annual statistical bulletins are issued on this trade, and detailed data are published in the
Statistical Digest. Prior to 1921, canned and industrial products data were not collected for the
entire country. However, data on the production of these products were usually obtained for the
areas in which general canvass surveys were conducted.
Fish Meal and Oil — Data are collected monthly on the domestic production of fish meal,
body oilj and fish solubles. This information is released monthly and annually in the Service's
Current Fishery Statistics series of bulletins.
Fish Fillets and Steaks — Statistics on the annual production and value of fish fillets
and steaks in the United States are obtained in conjunction with the canned and industrial fishery
products survey. These data are released annually in bulletin form and in the annual Statistical
Digest. Statistics on the production of fillets and steaks are available for 1926 and annually
since 1928, except that no data were collected in California for the years 1941 to 1946, inclusive.
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
383
Fish Sticks and Port lo n s --Quarterly Information is collected and published on the pro-
duction and value of breaded, cooked and raw fish sticks, breaded, cooked and raw fish portions,
and unbreaded fish portions . The data are released in the Service' s Current Fishery Statistics series
of bulletins .
Cold-Storaqe Holdings of Fish — Information on the monthly freezings and holdings
of fishery products is obtained from cold storage warehouses by mail and by NMFS employees.
Data are also obtained on the holdings of certain cured fish. Bulletins showing these statistics
are issued monthly and annually.
Detailed cold-storage statistics also are published in the Statistical Digest. Information
regarding cold-storage holdings of fishery products has been published since 1917, while data on
the quantity of fish frozen have been released for the years from 1920 to 1925, inclusive, and
continuously since 1928.
Foreign Fishery Tr a de - -Statistics on foreign trade are obtained from compilations
made by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. Statistics on all known imported or
exported fishery products have been assembled and published annually since 1926 in the Digest.
For earlier years, figures are available in the reports of the Bureau of the Census, Bureau of For-
eign and Domestic Commerce, the Bureau of Statistics, the Department of Commerce and Labor,
or the Treasury Department.
PRACTICES AND TERMS
Certain practices and terms used in this report are explained below.
Operating U n i t s - -Operating units include persons employed in the fisheries, and craft
and gear engaged in the fisheries.
Vessel - -A craft having a capacity of 5 net tons or over.
Boat — A craft having a capacity of less than 5 net tons.
Days Ab se nt - -In computing "days absent" for vessels landing fares at certain Massa-
chusetts ports, the day of arrival, but not the day of departure, is included; thus, a vessel leav-
ing port on the 8th of the month and returning on the 15th of the month will be credited with 7
days'absence . Prior to 1944, "days absent" Included both the day of departure and the day of
arrival .
Days Fished — In computing "days fished" for fishing craft landing shrimp at Gulf of Mex-
ico ports, the total number of hours spent in fishing effort has been divided by 24.
Fish — Tiie term "fish" as used in this report includes all species belonging to the class
Pisces .
Shell fish et al. — A shellfish is an aquatic invertebrate animal having a shell, such as
a mollusk or crustacean. However, in order to reduce the classifications appearing in the catch
tables, all items not properly listed as "Fish" or "Whale Products" have been included under
"Shellfish etal." Accordingly, turtles , frogs , sponges , seaweed, and worms are included under
this classification.
384
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
Incidental Catch --The term "incidental catch" refers to the catch of certain species by
a type of gear which ordinarily does not capture such species.
Percentages- -Percentages are usually shown as whole numbers . Fractions of percents
are dropped if less than five-tenths, anJ the percentage is raised to the next higher integer if the
fraction is greater than five-tenths. If the fraction is exactly five-tenths, odd integers are raised
to the next even figure while even integers remain unchanged.
Converting- -Many of the figures shown in the summary tables published herewith have
converted to thousands of pounds or thousands of dollars. In making these conversions the sum
of the items in a table is raised or lowered to the nearest thousand in accordance with standard
statistical procedures. The individual items are adjusted to conform to the total thus obtained.
Confidential Data --The statistical data collected by thu Service are confidential, and,
unless specific authorization is given, are not released in a manner that would divulge private
enterprise .
CONVERSION FACTORS
It is the policy of the Service to show detailed catch figures of all products in pounds for the
sake of uniformity and for the purposes of comparison. This represents little difficulty in the
case of fish, since in very rare instances are fish reported in units of measure other than pounds.
For shellfish, however, the units of measure may be bushels, sacks, barrels, numbers, gallons
of meats, etc. So many units make standardization difficult, and when combined with the wide
variation in the requirements or definitions of some of these units in the various States, the prob-
lem becomes even more complex.
All univalve and bivalve mollusks {except fresh-water mussel shells) are reported in pounds
of meats in the detailed catch tables presented in this report. In addition, there are included
supplementary tables for most of the sections, which give data on the production in bushels.
These supplementary tables also give the production in number of certain other shellfish, such as
crabs. There also is included in the General Review section of this report a table containing data
on the shell weight of univalve and bivalve mollusks taken.
Oysters- -Probably the greatest problem in the presentation of fishery statistics in uniform
units of measure is in the case of oysters. Usually the production of oysters on the Atlantic and
Gulf Coasts is reported to NMFS personnel in bushels. Prior to the data obtained for the year
1930, bushels were converted to pounds of meats on the basis of a uniform yield of 7 pounds of
meats to the bushel. However, it was found that there was considerable variation in the yield of
oysters per bushel particularly in Southern States where the yield has ranged as low as half the
conversion factor used prior to 1930. There follows a table which gives the measures used for
oysters in the various States and the average yields per bushel. The statistical tables in this
report are based on these average yields.

SECTION 15 - PICTORIAL SECTION
As many of the readers of this publication may not be familiar with all of the species
of fish and shellfish, etc., taken commercially in the United States, illustrations of
many of the various species are included in the following pages . The descriptive mater-
ial appearing with each species includes the areas in which commercial landings are
made in the United States and does not constitute the extreme limits in which they occur.
Similarly, the gear listed for each species do not represent the only types of apparatus
by which these species are obtained, but represent those types which are normally used
in their capture. The gear do not necessarily appear in the order of their importance.
Illustrations of species landed in Hawaii are not included in this section.
For more detailed information on the nomenclature of the fishery products listed
below, the reader is referred to Section 14 of this publication entitled, "Glossary."
