PREFACE
This report contains a review of U.S. commercial fishery statisties for the calendar year 1976. 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 te 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, 1976—
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 1976 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 collected 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 13 of this publication.
Complete statistical surveys covering the fisheries of the United States were made by the National
Marine Fisheries Service in all areas for 1970-76. 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 Wildlife Service for the years 1931, 1950, 1954-60, and 1962-69.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The data in this edition of "Fishery Statistics of the United States" were collected in cooperation with
the various States and tabulated by the staff of the Resource Statistics Division under the direction of Joseph
Pileggi and B.G. Thompson. The material was prepared for publication by Thelma I. Bell and Anne D. Rinn.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL REVIEW
In 1976, commercial fishery landings at ports in the United States were a record 5.4 billion pounds
(round weight) valued at a record $1.3 billion to the fishermen—increases of 10 percent in volume and 38
percent in value over 1975. There were record landings of several major species such as Pacific flounders,
shrimp, snow crab, spanish mackerel, and tuna. Landings of sea herring, menhaden, and salmon also increased
significantly. However, landings of anchovies and surf clams declined sharply.
U.S. flag vessels also landed tuna and shrimp at ports outside the United States. These landings
consisted of 174.3 million pounds of tuna valued at $50.0 million, landed principally at Puerto Rico, and 7.8
million pounds of shrimp valued at $15.1 million, landed at Caribbean ports.
Fishermen took 1.0 billion pounds of shellfish worth $697.4 million, up 9 percent in volume and 42
percent in value over 1975. Shellfish accounted for 52 percent of the value, but only 19 percent of the
volume of landings in the United States. The value of shellfish landings exceeded the value of finfish landings
in the Atlantic and Gulf. 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.")
Disposition of landings. In 1976, about half the total landed (2.8 billion pounds) was used for human food.
Landings were the largest since 1952 and 14 percent above the average for the previous 5 years. The NMFS
statisticians estimated that 1,802 million pounds (65 percent) of the fish used for human food were fresh or
frozen, 918 million pounds (33 percent) were canned, and 55 million pounds (2 percent) were cured. Landings
at U.S. ports of species used for reduction to meal and for other industrial purposes were 2.6 billion pounds.
This quantity, 7 percent greater than in 1975 and 5 percent above the average for the previous 5 years, was
short of the record amount landed in 1962. In 1976, 2,353 million pounds (90 percent) of the fish for industrial
purposes were converted to meal and oil; 133 million pounds (5 percent), canned for animal food; and 95
million pounds (4 percent) used as bait; and most of the small remainder used for fresh or frozen animal food
or processed into such items as shell buttons and novelties.
Per capita consumption. U.S. per capita consumption of commercially caught fish and shellfish in 1976 was a
record 13.1 pounds (edible meat) in 1976, up 0.7 pounds from the 12.3 pounds in 1975.

1/ Beginning in 1973, data included consumption of artificially cultivated catfish.
2/ Canned fish consumption is based on production reports, packer stocks, and foreign
frade statistics for individual years.
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 led all States in volume of landings with 1.2 billion pounds—23 percent of all U.S.
landings. California was second with 917.0 million pounds, followed by Alaska with 617.0 million pounds;
Virginia, 528.9 million pounds; and Mississippi, 291.8 million pounds. Alaska led all States in value of landings
with $239.5 million—18 percent of the total. California was next with $186.6 million; followed by Louisiana
with $138.4 million; Texas, $128.1 million; and Massachusetts, $95.8 million.
i GENERAL REVIEW
Principal ports. San Pedro, Calif., led all ports in volume of landings with 599.9 million pounds. Cameron,
[a., was second with 386.4 million pounds, followed by Dulac-Chauvin, La., 236.9 million pounds; Pascagoula-
Moss Point, Miss., 218.6 million pounds; Empire, La., 214.0 million pounds, and Morgan City, La., 163.8 million
pounds. Tuna was the principal species landed at San Pedro, and menhaden was the principal species landed at
the other five ports.
Fishermen and vessels. In the United States, 173,610 fishermen operated 16,868 vessels (5 net tons or more)
and 95,946 boats in 1976. This was an increase of 5,597 fishermen, 657 vessels, and 1,037 boats compared
with 1975.
Processed products. (See "Processed fishery products" in this section.)
Alewives. Landings were 53.7 million pounds valued at $1.1 million, down 9 percent in volume and 8 percent
im value from 1975. Production in Lake Michigan (39.2 million pounds or 73 percent of the U.S. production)
inereased 11 percent, and South Atlantic (6.5 million pounds) increased 8 percent. Landings in New England
were 3.5 million pounds (down 36 percent); Chesapeake, 4.4 million pounds (down 64 percent); and Middle
Atlantic, 12,000 pounds (down 52 percent). The Gulf States had no production of alewives in 1975, but there
were 125,000 pounds landed in 1976.
Anchovies. (See Section 7.—Pacifie Coast Fisheries.)
Clams. Landings of all species yielded 82.5 million pounds of meats valued at $64.3 million—a decline of 27
percent in volume, but an increase of 48 percent in value compared with 1975. Once again, as in 1975, the
principal reason for the decline in harvest was a sharp decline in landings of surf clams. Most other species
showed slight increases in landings over 1975. The fishery for ocean quahogs is expanding yearly in Rhode
Island and New Jersey; 5.6 million pounds were landed in 1976 compared with 1.3 million pounds in 1975.
Surf clam landings of 49.2 million pounds valued at $23.4 million were down 43 percent in quantity, but
up 86 percent in value compared with 1975. Surf clams were 60 percent of the volume, but only 36 percent of
the value of all species of clams. The fishery was centered off New Jersey, because the Virginia grounds are
becoming depleted. New Jersey landings were 24.4 million pounds—down 31 percent from 1975, partly
because bottom dwelling shellfish were killed off during the summer. The kill was attributed to low oxygen
levels. Surf clam landings in Virginia were 14.1 million pounds—down 64 percent from 1975.
Hard clams led in value of landings with 40 percent of the total, but only 18 percent of the total
volume. Landings yielded 15.3 million pounds of meats valued at $25.8 million—increases of 2 percent in
volume and 21 percent in value over 1975. New York was the leading State with 9.0 million pounds of meats,
followed by Rhode Island with 1.5 million pounds.
Landings of soft clams were 10.5 million pounds valued at $12.3 million—increases of 14 percent in
volume and 42 percent in value over 1975. Maine landings were 7.4 million pounds or 70 percent of the total
catch. Landings in Maryland (1.8 million pounds) were 40 percent better than 1975, because of the discovery
of a new area in Pocomoke Sound in early 1976.
Crabs. Total landings of crabs were 346.5 million pounds valued at $134.5 million. Increased landings of all
species except blue and green crabs brought the total to 13 percent more than the previous 5-year-average.
Landings of hard blue crabs were 115.4 million pounds valued at $23.6 million—down 14 percent in
volume, but up 16 percent in value over 1975. Chesapeake led with landings of 45.2 million pounds—a decline
of 24 percent from 1975. Some Chesapeake Bay watermen and scientists blame the smaller landings on
declining stands of eel grass, which produce habitat and food for crabs. Landings in the Gulf (36.6 million
pounds) decreased 6 percent; South Atlantic (27.4 million pounds) 10 percent; and the Middle Atlantie (6.3
million pounds) 2 percent. Virginia led in production with 25.8 million pounds, followed by Maryland with 19.4
million pounds, and Louisiana, 15.2 million pounds.
Dungeness crab landings were 34.4 million pounds valued at $20.8 million, increases of 88 percent in
volume and 83 percent in value over 1975. California accounted for most of the increase. Landings were 15.7
million pounds in 1976 compared with 3.9 million pounds in 1975. Landings in Washington and Oregon were
also good. The sizeable increase in landings can be attributed to a strong incoming year class, which
attracted more boats to the fishery.
GENERAL REVIEW 3
Alaska catch of king crab was 105.9 million pounds worth $68.7 million—increases of 8 percent in
volume and 80 percent in value over 1975. Landings were the highest since 1967 and 22 percent above the
1971-75 average. The average price-per-pound for king crabs was 65 cents in 1976 compared with 39 cents in
1975 and 41 cents in 1974.
Landings of snow crab were a record 80.8 million pounds valued at $16.2 million—up 72 percent in
volume and 130 percent in value over 1975. The entire catch was in Alaska. Rising market demand and
consumer acceptance improved the market outlook for this product in 1976.
Flounders. Landings were 169.4 million pounds valued at $52.4 million—up 5 percent in volume and 18 percent
In value over 1975. The New England States had 47 percent of the landings; the Pacific Coast, 36 percent;
South Atlantic, 7 percent; Middle Atlantic, 6 percent; and the rest was landed in the Chesapeake and Gulf
States. Yellowtail was the principal species taken in New England waters. Landings were 37.4 million
pounds—a decline of 10 percent from 1975 and the smallest landings since 1960. Various species of "sole"
were 56.2 million pounds or 91 percent of the total flounder landings in the Pacific Coast States. Landings of
"sole" were up 6 percent over 1975.
Groundfish. Landings of Atlantic groundfish (Atlantic ocean perch, cod, cusk, haddock, hakes, pollock, and
whiting) were 189.3 million pounds valued at $33.8 million—increases of 4 percent in volume and 14 percent in
value over 1975. Cod was the leading groundfish in both volume and value. Landings of Atlantic cod were
56.0 million pounds valued at $14.6 million—down only 104,000 pounds, but up $1.4 million. Landings of
haddock (12.8 million pounds) declined 21 percent and cusk (2.8 million pounds) declined 10 percent from 1975.
Landings of hakes (14.1 million pounds) increased 26 percent; pollock (23.8 million pounds), 14 percent;
whiting (47.7 million pounds), 13 percent; and Atlantic ocean perch (32.1 million pounds), less than 1 percent.
Pollock landings were the highest since 1959, and white hake were the highest since 1953, but ocean perch
was 35 percent below the average for the previous 5 years.
Landings of Pacifie groundfish and similar species (cod, hakes, ocean perch, and rockfishes) were 66.8
million pounds valued at $8.7 million, increases of 23 percent in volume and 39 percent in value over 1975.
Pacific cod (12.9 million pounds) increased 6 percent; ocean perch (5.4 million pounds), 38 percent; and
rockfishes (44.3 million pounds), 27 percent.
Halibut. Landings on the Pacifie Coast accounted for all but 128,000 pounds landed in New England. (See
Section 7.—Pacifie Coast Fisheries.)
Jack mackerel. (See Section 7.—Pacifie Coast Fisheries.)
Lobster, American. Landings were 31.5 million pounds valued at $51.9 million in 1976. This was an increase
of I.3 million pounds and $499,000 over 1975. Fishermen received an average price of $1.65 per pound in
1976—5 cents less than in 1975. Landings declined 22 percent in the Middle Atlantic States, but increased in
the New England and Chesapeake States. In Maine, the principal producing State, landings of 19.0 million
pounds were 2.0 million pounds more than in 1975.
Under the Fisheries Conservation and Management Act of 1976, foreign fishing for American lobsters
is prohibited in.the U.S. Fisheries Conservation Zone (FCZ). To avoid domestic lobster pots being damaged by
foreign trawlers a narrow strip between 100 and 200 fathoms, roughly from Georges Bank to Cape Hatteras, is
closed to foreign fishing while domestic lobster pots are in place. Although foreign fishermen are allowed to
fish within other specified areas, or "windows" in the 200-mile FCZ, they will not be allowed to trawl in any
place where U.S. lobstermen are fishing their pots and have reported those locations to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Lobster, spiny. The spiny lobster harvest was 5.6 million pounds valued at $9.3 million—declines of 26
percent in volume and 10 percent in value from 1975. Florida accounted for 95 percent of the total
production of spiny lobster. Landings in Florida of 5.3 million pounds were the lowest since 1967. After
hitting a peak of 11.4 million pounds in 1972, annual lobster landings began a gradual downward slide and then
dropped sharply in 1975 when the Bahamian Government banned outside fishermen from the Bahamian
Continental Shelf. During the record year in 1972, more than half of the lobster landings were taken from
Bahamanian waters. The California commercial harvest was 293,000 pounds in 1976—an increase of 46
percent over 1975.
f : GENERAL REVIEW
Menhaden. Landings of Gulf and Atlantic menhaden were 2.0 billion pounds valued at $67.2 million—inereases
Of 256.5 million pounds and $17.8 million compared with 1975. Ninety-seven percent of the production was
used for reduction into meal, oil, and solubles, the rest was used for bait or eanned for pet food.
Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1.2 billion pounds—up 3 percent over 1975. Poor weather in the early
part of the season held down landings in the Gulf States. Fishing effort in the purse seine fishery increased;
82 vessels fished, and the industry expects more effort in 1977. Age-1 menhaden dominated the catch (65 to
76 percent), as they did in 1974 and 1975. Landings of Atlantic menhaden in 1976 were 801.7 million pounds,
an increase of 32 percent over 1975. Of the 801.7 million pounds landed, 92 percent was processed into meal
and oil. The strong showing of fish in Chesapeake Bay and in Middle Atlantic and North Atlantic waters was
in contrast to the less than average catch of menhaden in the South Atlantic area in 1976. Total fishing
effort was less in the Atlantic area in 1976 than in 1975, even though more vessels were active. Age-2
menhaden dominated landings along most of the coast (55 percent). Age-2 fish were about half the catch in
the South Atlantic area. Landings in the North Carolina fall fishery were about the same as they were in
1975. Louisiana was the principal State using menhaden for reduction, followed by Virginia, Mississippi, and
North Carolina.
Oysters. Landings yielded 54.4 million pounds of oyster meats worth a record $54.4 million—inereases of 2
percent in volume and 21 percent in value over 1975. Production declined in the New England and
Chesapeake States, but increased in all other oyster-producing areas. For the first time since 1968, the Gulf
States led in production with 21.6 million pounds of meats. Chesapeake States were next with 21.0 million
pounds. The Gulf and Chesapeake States accounted for 78 percent of the landings. Louisiana was first in
production with 12.3 million pounds—down 10 percent from 1975. Landings in Maryland were 14.9 million
pounds—a decline of 9 percent from 1975. In Virginia, landings were 6.1 million pounds, a decrease of only 2
percent despite the winter ban on the taking of market and seed oysters in the James River, because of
pollution by the pesticide Kepone.
Salmon. Virtually all landings were on the Pacific Coast. (See Section 7—Pacifie Coast Fisheries.)
Scallops. Total landings of all species of scallops yielded 23.7 million pounds worth $39.6 million—gains of 73
percent in volume and 72 percent in valued over 1975. Landings were 32 percent above the 5-year average of
10.2 million pounds. The sharp increase in total scallop landings was primarily attributable to an increase in
abundance of sea scallops. Sea scallops accounted for 85 percent of the total landings; bay scallops, 11
percent; and calico scallops, 4 percent.
Sea scallop landings were 19.9 million pounds valued at $35.0 million in 1976, almost twice the quantity
and value landed in 1975. Abundance was greater on scallop beds off Long Island and New Jersey; commercial
amounts reappeared on the fishing grounds off Cape Cod; and as a result. many vessels were attracted to the
fisher y.
Bay scallop landings were 1.6 million pounds of meats valued at $3.0 million in 1976—decreases of 4
percent in volume and 12 percent in value from 1975. The average price per pound declined from $2.06 per
pound in 1975 to $1.89 in 1976.
Calico seallop landings (2.3 million pounds of meats) were the largest since the fishery began in 1959
when productive beds were first located off North Carolina. Surveys off Cape Canaveral in the Spring of
1976 by the NOAA vessels Bowers and Oregon Il indicated a large incoming year class.
Sea herring. Landings of sea herring were 154.0 million pounds worth $8.2 million—inereases of 18 percent in
volume and 32 percent in value over 1975. Landings of Atlantic sea herring accounted for 72 percent of the
total U.S. landings. The harvest of 10.5 million pounds was the largest since 1963. Maine was the leading
State with 70.2 million pounds—32.0 million pounds or 84 percent more than in 1975. Massachusetts landings
of 39.7 million pounds increased 24 percent, but Rhode Island landings were only 394,000 pounds compared
with 9.0 million pounds in 1975. American and foreign fisheries for Atlantic sea herring in offshore waters
were subject to regulation by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) in
1976. The United States, which withdrew from ICNAF, effective December 31, 1976, placed foreign fisheries
in the Fishery Conservation Zone (FCZ) under U.S. control effective March 1, 1977.
GENERAL REVIEW 5
Landings of Pacific sea herring were 43.5 million pounds valued at $3.9 million—down 15 percent in
volume, but up 8 percent in value compared with 1975. About 75 percent of this total was landed in Alaska,
14 percent in Washington, 11 percent in California, and a small remainder in Oregon. Foreign fishing for
Pacific sea herring in the FCZ of the Eastern Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific became subject to a
preliminary Fishery Management Plan on March 1, 1977.
Shrimp. Landings were a record 406.4 million pounds (heads-on), an increase of 17 percent over 1975 and 3
percent better than the 1971 record year. Shrimp landings were valued at a record $331.1 million to the
fishermen, up 47 percent from 1975, the previous record year.
Alaska led all States in landings for the fifth consecutive year with a record 128.7 million pounds—up
30 percent from 1975. Louisiana was second in production and value with 82.4 million valued at $79.7 million.
Texas was first in value with $119.9 million and third in volume with 74.8 million pounds.
The Gulf States accounted for 52 percent of the total production with increased landings in all States
except Florida. Landings were 210.2 million pounds valued at $275.2 million, up 24 percent in volume and 54
percent in value over 1975. Despite closing of Mexican waters to the shrimp fleet in 1976, high landings of all
species of shrimp were recorded at Gulf ports during the year. Low rainfall, high salinities, and no cold spells
provided an excellent year for shrimp production. The Pacific Coast States production was 167.9 million
pounds valued at $20.1 million, up 20 percent in volume and 45 percent in value over 1975. Landings in the
South Atlantic States were 26.1 million pounds, a slight increase of 5 percent over 1975. New England
landings declined drastically to 2.5 million pounds in 1976 compared with 11.7 million pounds in 1975. The
shrimp in Maine failed to appear in any significant number this year, and the fishermen turned their efforts to
the more lucrative groundfish fishery.
Tuna. Landings in the United States were a record 490.6 million pounds valued at a record $151.4 million—
Increases of 25 percent in volume and 42 percent in value over 1975. Landings of all species of tuna increased
except albacore. Yellowfin tuna landings were 284.7 million pounds or 58 percent of the total tuna landings—
up 18 percent over 1975. Landings of skipjack tuna (138.7 million pounds) increased 74 percent, and bluefin
tuna (22.8 million pounds) increased 7 percent. Landings of bigeye and other tunas in 1976 were 3.2 million
pounds—an increase of 2.4 million pounds over 1975. Ninety-eight percent of all tuna landings were in the
Pacific Coast States. (See Section 7.—Pacifie Coast Fisheries.)
Landings of tuna in Puerto Rico by U.S. fishermen were 174.3 million pounds valued at $50.0 million.
Landings were down 2 percent in voiume from the record established in 1975, but the value was up $5.4
million.
In 1976, the pack of tuna was 30.3 million standard cases (598.2 million pounds), valued at a record
$853.8 million, the highest since the record year of 1974 when 33.4 million standard cases were packed. The
pack was 3.5 million standard cases and $201.2 million more than the pack in 1975.
World landings. In 1976, world landings were a record 72.1 million metric tons (159 billion pounds), up 5
percent over 1975. Japan was the leading nation with slightly over 15 percent of the total. The U.S.S.R. was
a close second with almost 14 percent; China (mainland) and Peru each accounted for 6 percent; Norway, 5
percent; and the United States, 4 percent.
Other information. Summaries of landings statistics for certain States have been published previously in the
Current Fishery Statistics series of bulletins. A preliminary review titled Fisheries of the United 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,

U.S. LANDINGS, 1976 - LIVE WEIGHT BASIS
In the annual digest it has been the practice of NMFS to show the landings of univalve and bivalve
mollusks 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 1976 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 Oganization 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 follow:

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1976
Fishery products (fresh and frozen, canned, cured, and industrial) processed in the United States,
American Samoa, and Puerto Rico were worth $3.5 billion in 1976. Fresh and frozen items were 50 percent of
the total value; canned, 41 percent; cured, 3 percent; and industrial, the remaining 6 percent. The Pacific
Coast States accounted for $1.1 billion or about 33 percent of the total value of all processed fishery
products. The Gulf Coast States ranked second with $662.6 million or 19 percent, and the New England
States, third, with $467.0 million or 13 percent. California was the leading State for processed fishery
products with $616.2 million, followed by Alaska with $384.7 million and Puerto Rico with $364.7 million.
Canned tuna was by far ihe most important fishery product in both California and Puerto Rico, and salmon
the most important in Alaska.
The value of fresh and frozen processed products, mainly fillets, steaks, fish sticks and fish portions,
and breaded shrimp, was $1.8 billion in 1976 compared with $1.3 billion in 1975. The 1976 U.S. production of
raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks was 142.6 million pounds valued at $167.1 million, up 8 percent in
quantity and 21 percent in value, compared with 131.9 million pounds and $137.9 million in 1975. Fillets of
flounder, the most important item among fillets and steaks, reached 48.2 million pounds, up 15 percent over
the 42.0 million pounds in 1975. The production of groundfish fillets and steaks, cod, cusk, haddock, hake,
Atlantic ocean perch, and Atlantic pollock was 40.6 million pounds compared with the 36.8 million pounds in
1975. The production of sea herring fillets, which ranked third after flounder and cod, has grown steadily in
recent years; almost all herring fillets are exported to Europe.
The combined production of fish sticks and fish portions was 439.0 million pounds valued at $359.4
million in 1976, up 13 percent in quantity and 29 percent in value over 1975. The 344.8 million pounds of fish
portions set a new record, exceeding the 1975 production of 295.6 million pounds by 17 percent. The 1976
production of breaded shrimp in 65 plants was 95.9 million pounds valued at $203.0 million, compared with
98.0 million pounds valued at $176.7 million produced by 67 plants in 1975. Breaded, raw and cooked fillets,
fish cakes, dinners, cooked crab meat, raw headless shrimp, and shucked oysters and clams made up the
remaining value in the fresh and frozen category.
The 1976 pack of canned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was
54.8 million standard cases (1.6 billion pounds), valued at $1.4 billion—increases of 5.9 million standard cases
(12 percent) and $351.4 million (33 percent) over the 1975 pack. Included in the 1976 total were 41.1 million
standard eases (904.5 million pounds) for human consumption and 13.8 million standard cases (660.7 million
pounds) for bait and animal food. The largest increases were in the packs of canned tuna, up 3.5 million
standard cases; natural salmon, up 1.1 million standard cases; and animal food up 1.6 million standard cases.
The packs of shrimp and crab meat were larger, but the packs of mackerel, Maine sardines, tunalike fish, and
clams were smaller.
Cured production was 50.7 million pounds valued at $101.9 million in 1976, compared to 55.4 million
pounds and $101.6 million in 1975. Salted and pickled products in 1976 were 27.7 million pounds and $40.0
million; smoked, 21.7 million pounds and $59.0 million; and sun-dried, 617,000 pounds and $2.2 million. All
types of cured products increased in value; salted and pickled and sun-dried was up 16 percent and smoked up
6 percent compared with the 1975 values.
The value of industrial fish products (including sealskins, and other further processed items) was $184.8
million in 1976, compared to $173.4 million in 1975. The production of fish meal in 1976 was 309,694 tons,
19,263 more than the 290,431 tons in 1975. The production of fish oil was 204.6 million pounds valued at
$31.2 million—41.1 million pounds and $1.4 million less than the 245.7 million pounds and $32.6 million in
1975. Domestic production of fish solubles in 1976 was 133,107 tons valued at $14.3 million—5,257 tons and
$5.5 million more than the 127,850 tons and the $8.8 million in 1975.
A total of 3,617 wholesaling and processing establishments reported selling or processing fishery
products in 1976, compared with 3,606 in 1975. Fishery products were processed by 1,624 firms in 1976—a
decline of 76 firms when compared with 1,700 in 1975. Peak monthly employment for all firms in 1976 was
93,609 compared with 92,310 in 1975. Average monthly employment was 71,696 in 1976 compared with
71,006 in 1975. Peak monthly employment in fish processing was 79,679 in 1976 and 78,973 in 1975. Average
monthly employment was 60,379 in 1976 compared with 60,281 in 1975.

Note:--Data has been estimated in some Mississippi River States, and for the State of Alaska. Employment is reported by 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 12th 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.

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 landing statistics.

x GENERAL REVIEW
CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1976
The 1976 pack of eanned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was
54.8 -million standard cases (1.6 billion pounds) valued at $1.4 billion, an increase of 5.9 million standard cases
(12 percent) and $351.4 million (33 percent) over the 1975 pack. Included in the 1976 total were 41.1 million
standard eases (904.5 million pounds) for human consumption and 13.8 million standard cases (660.7 million
pounds) for bait and animal food. The largest increases were in the packs of canned tuna, up 3.95 million
standard cases; natural salmon, up 1.1 million standard cases; and animal food, up 1.6 million standard cases.
The packs of shrimp and crab meat were larger, but the packs of mackerel, Maine sardines, tunalike fish, and
clams were smaller.
Salmon. The pack of Pacific salmon (excluding smoked salmon and specialties) was 2.6 million standard cases
valued at $192.9 million. This was an increase of 1.1 million standard cases and $82.4 million or 69 percent in
quantity and 75 percent in value over 1975. The Alaska pack had the sharpest increase, from 1.5 million
standard cases in 1975 to over 2.5 million in 1976. Exports of fresh and frozen salmon were 6.3 million pounds
less than in 1975. Canned salmon exports were 2.9 million pounds less than in 1975.
Sardines. The pack of Maine sardines (sea herring) was 1.1 million standard cases valued at $24.5 million in
1976, 44,322 standard cases and $439,000 less than 1975. Herring specialties packed in 1976 were 138,859
standard cases valued at $6.5 million compared with 83,119 standard cases valued at only $3.3 million in 1975.
Imports of eanned sardines during 1976 were 53.9 million pounds compared with 31.1 million pounds during
1975. This increase can be attributed to a good harvesting season in both Norway and South Afriea. The
majority of sardine imports are shipped from these countries.
Tuna. In 1976 the pack of tuna was 30.3 million standard cases (599.2 million pounds) valued at a record
$850.5 million, the highest since the record year 1974 when 33.4 million standard cases were packed. The
pack was 3.5 million standard eases and $200.8 million more than the pack in 1975. The pack of white meat
(albacore), 6.0 million standard cases, comprised 20 percent of the pack. This was 952,104 standard cases
more than the 1975 pack. Lighmeat tuna (skipjack, yellowfin, bluefin, and bigeye) comprised the remaining
24.3 million standard cases. Plants in the continental United States packed 15.9 million standard cases (53
percent). The remaining 14.4 million standard cases were packed in American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and
Hawaii.
Canned tuna packed from landings by U.S. fishermen was a record 289.6 million pounds, 20.5 million
pounds more than the previous record pack in 1975. Over 601.9 million pounds (round weight) of fresh and
frozen tuna was imported in 1976 compared with 486.8 million pounds in 1975. Landings by the U.S. fishing
fleet were a record 659.9 million pounds, 91.6 million pounds more than in 1975. Prices at the exvessel,
wholesale, and retail levels contined to increase as fishermen were receiving $100 per ton or more for
yellowfin and skipjack a year ago. In the albacore fishery, the relatively low landings and continued high
price of imports caused prices to jump. Japanese-caught Atlantic albacore for delivery to Puerto Rico rose
to $1,500 a ton during the year.
Clams. The pack and value of clams and clam products (excluding specialty products) declined in 1976. Only
57f million standard cases valued at $39.3 million were packed in 1976, compared with the 3.0 million
standard eases valued at $41.8 million in 1975. The pack of whole and minced clams was 517,180 standard
eases—386,578 standard cases or 43 percent less than the 903,758 standard cases packed in 1975. The packs
of chowder and juice were 1.9 standard cases, 191.667 standard cases or 9 percent less than the 2.1 million
standard cases packed in 1975. These smaller packs of clams and clam products were caused by a 28-percent
decline in the 1976 landings of clams. Surf clam landings declined from 86.9 million pounds in 1975 to only
49.1 million pounds in 1976. Clam specialty products were 113,589 standard cases valued at $5.6 million in
1976, a slight increase over the 1975 production of 113,272 standard cases in 1975, and well above the $3.5
million in 1975.
Shrimp. The 1976 natural pack of shrimp was 2.8 million standard cases valued at $49.8 million, up 982,981
Standard cases (53 percent) in quantity and $22.1 million (80 percent) in value over 1975. Of the total pack,
1.7 million standard eases were canned in Louisiana and Mississippi; the rest was canned in Washington,
Oregon, and Alaska. Rising costs of operation, and the practice of diverting shrimp into a frozen product
kept the pack below the 1973 record year when over 3.7 million standard cases were packed.
Pet food. In 1976, the pack of pet food (10 pounds of fish per standard case of 48 one-pound cans) was 13.8
Million standard cases valued at a record $195.8 million, only 125,215 standard cases less than the record pack
of 13.9 million standard cases packed in 1972. Tuna trimmings are used in producing a substantial part of the
U.S. pack of canned animal (pet) food. In 1976 tuna trimmings comprised 42 percent of the pet food pack.

INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1976
The value of industrial fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico in 1976
was $184.8 million—$22.5 million more than the $162.3 million in 1975. In terms of value, the leading
producing States were Louisiana ($63.9 million), Maine ($27.3 million), Virginia (22.4 million), and California
($20.9 million).
Fish meal and scrap. Domestic production, including shellfish meal, was 309,694 tons—19,263 tons more
than the 290,431 tons in 1975. Menhaden meal (212,553 tons) accounted for 69 percent of the total production
and was 21,110 tons more than the 191,443 tons in 1975. Tuna meal increased by 2,850 tons to 40,059 tons in
1976 compared with 37,209 tons in 1975. Anchovy meal in 1976 was 22,164 tons—5,540 tons (20 percent) less
than the 27,704 tons in 1975. Meal from alewife, thread herring, and unclassified fish was 19,896 tons in
1976, compared with 19,241 tons produced in 1975. The 10,684 tons of shellfish meal in 1976 was 569 tons
less than the 1975 production of 11,253 tons. Meal from crabs and shrimp was 1,670 and 587 tons,

pounds and $1.4 million less than the 245.7 million pounds and $32.6 million in 1975. The production of all fish
oils decreased in 1976, except for sea herring oil, which increased 477,000 pounds. Menhaden oil (186.4
million pounds) declined 26.9 million pounds compared with 1975. With a decline in the production of fish oils
(other than liver), imports increased from 11.3 million pounds in 1975 to 20.9 million pounds in 1976.
Fish solubles. Domestic production of fish solubles was 133,107 tons valued at $14.3 million, up 5,257 tons
and $5.5 million compared with 1975. The 95,313 tons of menhaden solubles contributed 72 percent of the
total 133,107 tons produced in 1976, compared with 83,624 tons and 65 percent of the total 127,850 tons in
1975.

e GENERAL REVIEW
FROZEN FISHERY TRADE
Freezings. The 1976 production of frozen fish and shellfish by firms reporting to NMFS was 321.7 million
pounds—an increase of 22.0 million pounds (7 percent) over 1975. Frozen shrimp (raw, headless; breaded;
peeled; and unclassified) were 103.0 million pounds and accounted for 32 percent of the total production.
Other items frozen in considerable quantities during the year were round salmon (24.9 million pounds); crabs
(11.7 million pounds); headed and gutted whiting (7.7 million pounds); squid (6.1 million pounds); and bait and
animal food (53.8 million pounds). 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 507.8 million pounds (round weight) of fish and
shellfish were required for the frozen production in 1976.
The New England area led all other areas in freezings with 92.8 million pounds (29 percent of the
total); followed by Pacifie with 71.8 million pounds and South Central with 70.0 million pounds (22 percent
each); South Atlantic with 47.7 million pounds (15 percent); and Alaska with 30.6 million pounds (10 percent).
The rest were frozen in the Middle Atlantic; North Central, East; and North Central, West States.
Cold storage holdings. Monthly holdings of frozen fish and shellfish by cold storage warehouses reporting to
NMFS were a low of 289.6 million pounds on May 31 and a high of 381.0 million pounds on November 30.
Inventories of cod blocks declined from 30.1 million pounds on January 1, 1976 to 14.5 million pounds on
December 31, 1976. Lower imports toward the end of the year and a substantial price increase depleted
supplies of cod blocks to a low in December. Holdings of frozen shrimp products (raw, headless; breaded;
peeled; and unclassified) were at a low of 43.4 milion pounds on May 31, 1976, and a high of 80.0 million
pounds on November 30, 1976.
Cured fish cold storage holdings. Monthly average holdings of salted and smoked fish were 5.8 million
pounds. Salted herring (4.9 million pounds) and mild-cured salmon (535,000 pounds) accounted for 93 percent
of the monthly average cold storage inventories of cured fish.
Data on freezings and holdings for 1976 have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics
No. 7206.

GENERAL REVIEW 2
FOREIGN FISHERY TRADE, 1976
Total U.S. imports of edible and nonedible fishery products were a record $2.3 billion in 1976, an
increase of 39 percent over 1975. Exports of domestic fishery products were a record $384.7 million in 1976,
an increase of 26 percent over 1975.
Imports of edible fishery products were 228.5 million pounds valued at $1,861.4 in 1976—up 315.4
million pounds (16 percent) and $494.2 million (36 percent) compared with the previous year. Imports of fresh
and frozen tuna (including loins and dises) were 607.4 million pounds—up 128.8 million pounds (27 percent)
compared with 1975 imports of 478.6 million pounds. There were also increases in regular and minced blocks
(21 percent), groundfish and Atlantic ocean perch fillets and steaks (14 percent), other fillets and steaks (10
percent), fresh and frozen shrimp (14 percent), and scallops (28 percent).
Exports of domestie edible fishery products were 240.9 million pounds valued at a record $329.8
million—up 10 percent in quantity and 23 percent in value compared with 1975. Domestic edible products
increased slightly in 1976, owing to small gains in fresh and frozen and canned fishery products. Exports of
fresh and frozen products were 174.7 million pounds in 1976, up 10 percent over 1975. Exports of canned
products were 52.8 million pounds, up 7 percent over 1975.
Exports of domestie nonedible products were $54.9 million in 1976—39 percent more than the $39.5
million exported in 1975. All major categories of domestic nonedible products showed increases in value in
1976.
Exports of foreign fishery products also increased in 1976. The edible exports were $53.2 million in
1976 compared with $32.3 million in 1975. Increases occurred in exports of fresh and frozen shrimp, cod, and
canned salmon.

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES
Commercial fishery landings by U.S. fishermen in the New England States (Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) were 547.5 million pounds valued at a record $174.1 million in
1976—inereases of 49.1 million pounds and $20.0 million over 1975. The quantity landed was the highest since
1968 and 13 percent above the average of the previous 5 years. Larger landings for fluke flounder, menhaden,
sea herring, and sea scallops were responsible for the increase. A few important species such as haddock,
yellowtail flounder, and shrimp were down.
Compared with 1975, landings inereased in all States except Rhode Island. Massachusetts led all
States in volume with 289.0 million pounds (53 percent); followed by Maine, 177.8 million pounds (32 percent);
and Rhode Island, 72.5 million pounds (13 percent). Connecticut and New Hampshire together accounted for
the rest. The value of landings increased in all States except Connecticut. Massachusetts led in value with
$95.8 million (55 percent); Maine was second with $53.8 million (31 percent); followed by Rhode Island, $21.0
million (12 percent); Connecticut, $2.2 million (1 percent); and New Hampshire, $1.3 million (1 percent).
Gloucester led all New England ports in landings with 142.8 million pounds while New Bedford led in value
~ with $21.3 million.
Fishermen and vessels. In 1976, 30,474 full-time and part-time fishermen operated 855 vessels (5 gross tons
or more), 15,285 motorboats, and 307 boats not powered by a motor. Compared with 1975, this was an
inerease of 85 vessels and 38 other boats, but a decrease of 1,211 fishermen and 214 motorboats. The number
of vessels increased in all States except Rhode Island.
Processed products. The value of processed fishery products was a record $467.0 million. This surpassed last
year's record by $75.2 million. Massachusetts led with products valued at $320.4 million, followed by Maine
with $99.8 million; New Hampshire, $40.9 million; Rhode Island, $5.1 million; and Connecticut, $700,000. The
five States had a monthly average of 8,482 persons employed in 503 wholesaling and processing plants. Fish
sticks and portions in Massachusetts led in production of all items with $125.8 million. Maine sardine plants
produced $24.5 million despite closures of the plants by the Environmental Protection Agency for failure to
comply with standards for waste water treatment.
International Commission for the Northwest Atlantie Fisheries (ICNAF). Established in 1950, ICNAF had
18 member countries to govern the conservation and management of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries. The
United States resigned from ICNAF, effective December 31, 1976, potentially leaving 2 unregulated months
in 1977. Meetings of the Commission were held in June and September of 1975 to establish national quotas
for 1976 for the major fish stocks in the Northwest Atlantic. Acting on the recommendations of ICNAF, the
National Marine Fisheries Service adopted regulations that were then published in the Federal Register on
January 6, 1976. These regulations covered commercial fishing in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean north of
Cape Hatteras. The regulations contained provisions for quotas, licensing of fishing vessels, record keeping,
size limitations, and catch limitations on certain species. ;
Federal Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (FCMA). Public Law 94-265, which became law on
April 13, 1976, provides for a national program for the conservation and management of fishery resources
within a declared Fishery Conservation Zone (FCZ), contiguous to the territorial sea of the United States.
The FCZ extends from the seaward boundary of the territorial sea (3 nautical miles from shore) to 200
nautical miles from shore. All species, except for the highly migratory bluefin tuna, will be under the control
of Regional Fishery Management Councils. The New England Regional Fishery Management Council, chosen
in August 1976, comprises 17 voting and 4 nonvoting members. The council will prepare Fishery Management
Plans (FMP) before March 1, 1977, the day the Act goes into effect. One problem developing is a dispute over
the water boundary with Canada. A compromise will have to be reached concerning the rich fishing grounds
of Georges Bank to which both countries lay claim.
American lobster. Landings were 30.0 million pounds valued at a record $48.8 million—up 1.4 million pounds
and $600,000 over 1975. The American lobster was 28 percent of the value of all landings in New England
making it the area's most valuable species. Maine led in production with 63 percent of the total landings, all
by the inshore pot fishery. Landings of 19.0 million pounds were 2.0 million pounds more than in 1975, but
landings declined in all other States. The inshore pot fishery (from 0 to 12 miles) produced 84 percent of the
landings. The remaining landings were made by the offshore pot and otter trawl fisheries, which operated in
the deepwater canyon areas of Southern New England. Landings of lobster declined the last 2 months of 1976
when exceptionally poor weather set in. ;
NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES 69
Clams. Landings yielded 12.7 million pounds of meats worth $13.8 million—inereases of 12 percent in volume
and 27 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings increased for all species of clams. Soft clams were 66
percent of the total production; hard clams, 21 percent; ocean quahog, 12 percent; and razor and surf clams
were 1 percent.
Landings of soft clams yielded 8.5 million pounds of meats, an increase of 11 percent compared with
1975. Maine was the leading producer of soft clams with 7.4 million pounds or 70 percent of the total U.S.
catch. Landings in Maine were up 13 percent over 1975. In Massachusetts, landings of 1.1 million pounds of
soft clams increased slightly, but in Rhode Island, landings of 3,000 pounds were down 83 percent compared
with 1975. Connecticut and New Hampshire had no production.
Landings of hard clams yielded 2.6 million pounds of meats, up 11 percent over 1975. Landings in
Rhode Island (1.5 million pounds) was up 37 percent, but declined in Massachusetts (947,000 pounds) and Maine
(3,000 pounds).
The State of Maine was fortunate in 1976 when both the green crab and the "red tide", Gonyaula
tamarensis, failed to appear in the concentrations of recent years. The green crab is a natural predator of
The clam beds. The "red tide", formed by highly toxie microscopic organisms, produces paralytic shellfish
poisoning. The "red tide" caused far fewer closures in Maine this year than in the last 4 years.
Flounders. Landings were 79.8 million pounds worth $31.8 million, up 2.5 million pounds (3 percent) and $4.9
Million (18 percent) over 1975. Landings of yellowtail flounders were 37.4 million pounds, a decline of 10
percent compared with 1975. Landings were the smallest since 1960. Noting that yellowtail are no longer as
abundant as in 1960's, a number of otter trawlers took part in the lucrative scallop fishery. Fluke landings
(10.9 million pounds) increased 122 percent over 1975. Fluke was found in abundance off New York and
Nantucket Sound in the summer. Landings of blackback flounder decreased 6 percent, and gray sole
decreased 12 percent; but dab increased 42 percent and sand flounders increased 5 percent.
Groundfish. Landings of six groundfish species (cod, cusk, haddock, pollock, white heke, and Atlantic ocean
perch) were 135.9 million pounds valued at $29.2 million—increases of 67,000 pounds and $3.9 million.
Landings of haddock (12.8 million pounds) were down 21 percent from 1975, but cod (55.2 million pounds) and
cusk (2.8 million pounds) were down slightly. Landings of pollock, 23.8 million pounds, white hake, 9.1 million
pounds and ocean perch, 32.1 million pounds had small gains in 1976. Pollock landings were the highest since
1959, and white hake were the highest since 1953, but ocean perch was 35 percent below the previous 5-year
average.
Menhaden. Landings in 1976 of 59.0 million pounds increased 16 percent over 1975. The highly unpredictable
Menhaden again proved true to form. They completely bypassed Rhode Island on its northward run, finally
concentrating in Maine waters. While on the southward run, vast schools settled in Newport, R.I. which had
substantial landings creating problems for processing. Newport has no processing facilities for the oil-laden
menhaden, so the fish were pumped out and trucked to the fleet's respective ports.
Sea herring. Landings were 110.4 million pounds valued at $4.4 million, increases of 31.0 million pounds and
$1.7 million compared with 1975. The volume was the largest since 1963 and 49 percent above the average
for the previous 5 years. Maine accounted for 64 percent of the total production with landings of 70.2 million
pounds—32.0 million pounds or 84 percent more than in 1975. The inshore fleet of stop seiners took 79
percent of the Maine landings; the rest were taken by purse seines (15 percent) and weirs (6 percent).
Massachusetts landings of 39.7 million pounds increased 24 percent, but Rhode Island landings were only
394,000 pounds in 1976 compared with 9.0 million pounds in 1975. In Massachusetts, inshore fishing by purse
seiners and pair trawlers was the rule to avoid closures under ICNAF regulations pertaining to international
waters. Of the total landings for New England, about 87 percent was caught within territorial waters. Rhode
Island's catch of herring was minimal with the species bypassing the State.
American and foreigh fisheries for Atlantic sea herring in offshore waters were subject to
regulation by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) in 1976. The United
States, which withdrew from ICNAF, effective December 31, 1976, placed foreign fisheries in the Fishery
Conservation Zone (FCZ) under U.S. control effective March 1, 1977.
2 NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES
Sea scallops. One of the highlights of the 1976 fishing year was the sea scallop fishery. Landings were 12.0
Million pounds valued at a record $22.2 million—increases of 69 percent in quantity and 66 percent in value
over 1975. The 1976 production was the largest since 1965 and 145 percent above the average for the
previous 5 years. Prices received by fishermen were slightly lower in 1976—$1.86 per pound compared to
$1.89 in 1975.
Fishing effort was divided between the productive beds off New York and New Jersey and a new
area off Chatham on Cape Cod. The discovery of the Chatham beds allowed the fleet to switch over from the
New York and New Jersey beds which had been worked heavily for nearly 2 years.
Bluefin tuna. Landings were 1.7 million pounds valued at $927,000—decreases of 27 percent in volume and 20
percent in value compared with 1975. Fishing for bluefin tuna by U.S. commercial fishermen is closely
controlled by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard in response to recommendations of the International
Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT). Regulations are designed to protect undersize
fish (under 14 pounds) and the prime spawning size fish (115-299 pounds). The catch of other sizes is
restricted to amounts taken in recent years. The 1976 regulations included purse seine quotas of 1,000 short
tons of fish weighing between 14 and 115 pounds and 180 short tons of fish weighing more than 300 pounds.
For other than purse seine fishermen, a quota of 2,000 fish with 150 fish available for harvest west of a line
extending south from Gay Head, Mass. For fish in excess of 300 pounds, the regulations also included a daily
bag limit of one fish per day per vessel through August 13 and then seven fish per week per vessel for the rest
of the season. Regulations for 1975 included a quota of 2,250 fish of over 300 pounds caught by fishermen
other than purse seiners, who had no bag limits.
Northern shrimp. The northern shrimp fishery in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts continued to
decline in 1976. Landings were the smallest since 1965. The overall catch was 2.3 million pounds valued at
$764,000 in 1976 compared with 11.7 million pounds valued at $3.1 million in 1975. The quantity landed was
89 percent below the average for the previous 5 years. The average price per pound paid to fishermen
inereased from 26.3 cents in 1975 to 33.9 cents in 1976.
Maine led all other States with a catch of 1.4 million pounds—60 percent of the total, but still 5.6
million pounds less than in 1975. The shrimp in Maine failed to appear in any significant numbers this year;
and the fishermen turned their efforts to the more lucrative groundfish fishery. Landings in Massachusetts
(877,000 pounds) declined 3.7 million pounds and New Hampshire (16,000 pounds) declined 49,000 pounds.
Whiting. Landings of whiting were 37.2 million pounds valued at $2.9 million, increases of 4.0 million pounds
and $180,000 over 1975. Landings increased in all States except Maine where the 408,000 pounds landed were
the smallest since 1935. Landings in Rhode Island (7.3 million pounds) were a record high, and Massachusetts
landings (29.4 million pounds) were the highest since 1968.
An unusual amount of whiting was landed in the first 4 months of 1976. Landings of whiting at this
time helped the depletion caused by the decline in the northern shrimp fishery by creating added winter
employment in the generally slowed down processing plants. Exvessel prices remained low during the winter,
because dealers had surplus whiting in freezers from the previous summer.
Argo Merchant. No review of New England fisheries for 1976 is complete without mention of the oil tanker,
Argo Merchant, which grounded and-subsequently split on the Nantucket Shoals. This area, 27 miles off of
Nantucket, is the traditional yellowtail flounder grounds. But the hazard was not confined just there. The 7.6
million gallons of No. 6 crude (Bunker C) fuel oil carried by the Liberian registered tanker formed a 150-mile-
long oil slick that endangered the lucrative groundfish and shellfish grounds on Georges Bank. This highly
viscous mass had the potential of decimating spawning grounds and feed if it sank. An intense research
investigation was undertaken to monitor, attempt to control, and if possible clean up this disastrous
occurrence. While fouling of gear, catches, and wildlife was reported, only after months of monitoring will
the full impact of this tragedy be determined. The oil spill again focused attention on oil interests. With
exploratory oil drilling taking place and plots for further drilling being leased in the vicinity of Georges Bank,
a cry for tighter rstrictions or total banning was heard.

Landings by U.S. commercial fishermen in the Middle Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey, and
Delaware were 268.8 million pounds valued at a record $68.8 million in 1976—up 43 percent in quantity and 38
percent in value over 1975. Landings were the highest since 1965 and 27 percent above the average for the
previous 5 years. The principal reason for the higher volume was a 126-percent increase in menhaden landings
in New Jersey. The increase in value mainly was due to the record exvessel prices for clam meats in 1976.
Fishermen and vessels. In 1976, 17,686 full-time and part-time commercial fishermen operated 580 vessels of
5 net tons or more, 12,399 motorboats, and 57 boats not powered by a motor. Compared with 1975, this was an
increase of 1,567 fishermen, 88 vessels, 1,043 motorboats, and 17 other boats. New York led with 13,821
fishermen, 10,557 motorboats, and 33 other boats. New Jersey had the largest number of vessels (386).
Processed products. The wholesale value of processed products in the Middle Atlantic States (including
Pennsylvania) was $267.4 million—an increase of 27 percent over 1975. New Jersey led with products valued at
$89.3 million, followed by New York with $81.6 million; Pennsylvania, $72.3 million; and Delaware, $24.2
million. The four States had 395 wholesaling and processing plants employing an average of 5,859
employees—an increase of 15 seafood establishments, but a decrease of 285 employees compared with 1975.
Clams. Landings of hard clams yielded 10.6 million pounds of meats valued at a record $19.9 million—inereases
of 2 percent in volume and 24 percent in value over 1975. New York accounted for 85 percent of the area total
with landings of 9.0 million pounds valued at a record $18.1 million—inereases of 4 percent in volume and 27
percent in value over 1975. Landings in New York for 1976 were the second highest on record. Great South
Bay on Long Island provided 93 percent of the New York landings and 80 percent of the Middle Atlantic
landings. New Jersey landings yielded 1.5 million pounds valued at $1.7 million—an 8-percent decrease in
volume, but a 2-percent increase in value compared with 1975.
Landings of surf clams yielded 27.8 million pounds of meats valued at a record $11.9 million—a 34
percent decline in volume, but a 104-percent increase in value compared with 1975. Landings were the lowest
since 1961. Fishermen received $7.28 cents per bushel for surf clams in 1976, an increase of $4.94 cents per
bushel over 1975. The fishery was centered off New Jersey for the first time since 1971, because the Virginia
grounds that were heavily dredged in 1975 became quite depleted during 1976. New Jersey landings were 24.4
million pounds valued at $10.8 million—a 31-percent decline in volume, but a 129-percent increase in value
compared with 1975. New York landings in 1976 were 3.5 million pounds, down 25 percent from the previous
year. Delaware had no landings in 1976, but 2.3 million pounds of surf clams were landed in 1975.
Landings of soft clams yielded 195,000 pounds of meats valued at $234,000—a 16-percent decline in
volume, but an 8-percent increase in value compared with 1975. New Jersey accounted for 76 percent of the
area total with landings of 148,000 pounds. All soft clams were harvested from the Navesink and Shrewsbury
Rivers. Long Island Sound produced 57 percent of the 47,000 pounds of soft clams landed in New York.
Hard blue crabs. Landings were 6.3 million pounds valued at a record $1.9 million—a 2-percent decline in
quantity, but a 35-percent increase in value compared with 1975. Delaware landings of 3.6 million pounds were
slightly higher than in 1975. Pots took about 79 percent of the Delaware landings; dredges took most of the
rest. New Jersey landings of blue crabs (2.7 million pounds) were 6 percent below 1975. Pots took 75 percent
of the New Jersey landings; dredges took the rest. Pots in the Hudson River area took most of the New York
landings of 52,300 pounds.
Other species. Landings of gray sea trout were 7.3 million pounds valued at $923,000—up 21 percent in volume
and 6 percent in value over 1975. New Jersey vessels made 78 percent of the total area catch. Cape May
accounted for 84 percent of the New Jersey landings. Atlantic mackerel landings of 2.1 million pounds valued
at $191,000 increased 13 percent in quantity, but declined 7 percent in value. New Jersey fishermen landed 88
percent of the Atlantic mackerel catch in the area. Landings of bluefish were 1.9 million pounds valued at
$249 ,000—decreases of 13 percent in volume and 29 percent in value compared with 1975. New Jersey landings
were 68 percent of the total Middle Atlantic catch. Landings of black sea bass were 1.9 million pounds valued
at $666,000—up 27 percent in volume and 41 percent in value over 1975. Landings were the highest since 1965
and 123 percent above the 1971-75 average. New Jersey accounted for 78 percent of the landings of black sea
bass. Landings of tilefish have improved each year as more vessels enter this longline winter fishery. Tilefish
landings were 1.6 million pounds valued at $746,000 in 1976 compared with 961,000 pounds valued at $362,000
in 1975. New Jersey had 97 percent of the tilefish landings. There were 1.3 million pounds of butterfish valued
at $357,000 landed in the Middle Atlantic area—declines of 38 percent in volume and 26 percent in value
compared with 1975. New York's 960,000 pounds landed was 74 percent of the total area catch. Landings of
striped bass were 1.1 million pounds valued at $675,000—down 35 percent in quantity and 21 percent in value
from 1975. New York led the catch with 80 percent of the total landings.
MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES n19
Flounders. Landings of all species of flounders were 10.4 million pounds valued at $4.2 million—up 7 percent in
volume and 22 percent in value over 1975. Fluke or summer flounder was 85 percent of the total flounder
landings. Fluke landings were 8.9 million pounds valued at $3.8 million—increases of 17 percent in volume and
31 percent in value over 1975. These were the largest landings since 1953. Landings of yellowtail flounder
were 599,000 pounds—down 57 percent from 1975. From 1967 to 1973 yellowtail had been the most prominent
species of flounder landed in the Middle Atlantic region (averaging 6.5 million pounds).
American lobster. Landings were 1.3 million pounds valued at $2.6 million—decreases of 18 percent in
quantity and 12 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings were the lowest since 1963. New Jersey
landings (646,000 pounds) declined 24 percent below 1975 and 46 percent below the previous 5-year average.
Pot fishermen took 74 percent of the New Jersey landings (63 percent from offshore waters). Offshore potters
had problems, because lobsters crawled away from the areas with low oxygen levels.
Menhaden. Landings were 151.5 million pounds valued at $4.3 million—gains of 126 percent in volume and 147
percent in value over 1975. New Jersey with 150.4 million pounds accounted for 99 percent of the area
production, mostly by purse seines. The New Jersey fishery had seven purse seiners in 1976, one less than in
1975. Most of the catches were made in the Atlantic Ocean off the New Jersey coast and the Long Island
coast. Landings in New York (1.0 million pounds) were 62,000 pounds less than in 1975. Pound nets and gill
nets took 95 percent of the landings in New York, haul seines took the rest. The 35,300 pounds landed in
Delaware were taken by gill nets. Most of the menhaden landed in New Jersey was used for reduction into
meal, oil, and solubles. Menhaden landed in New York and Delaware were used mostly for bait.
Oysters. Total landings yielded 3.6 million pounds of meats valued at $6.5 million—inereases of 9 percent in
quantity and 2 percent in value over 1975. Landings were the best since 1958. New York landings of 1.9
million pounds of meats declined 10 percent in volume compared with 1975. Landings in New Jersey of 1.4
million pounds increased 44 percent, and Delaware with 262,000 pounds increased 34 percent over 1975.
Production of seed oysters in Delaware were 24,425 bushels—up 7,800 bushels from 1975.
Scallops. Landings of sea scallops were 3.6 million pounds of meats valued at $6.0 million—increases of 270
percent in quantity and 239 percent in value over 1975. New Jersey landings of 2.9 million pounds were 79
percent of the total area catch. Trawlers that caught sea scallops and landed them in the shell to be shucked
ashore accounted for 53 percent of the New Jersey catch in 1976. The rest were taken by dredges and shucked
at sea. About 67 percent of the New York catch was by dredge and landed in New York City. Trawlers took
the rest and landed them mostly at Greenport.
Landings of bay scallops yielded 438,000 pounds of meats valued at $816,000—a 1 percent decline in
volume, but a 14 percent increase in value compared with 1975. Bay scallops are landed only in New York.
Dredges made all the catches in Gardners and Peconic Bays.
Seup. Landings totaled 9.2 million pounds valued at $2.0 million—decreases of 9 percent in quantity and 19
percent in value, compared with 1975. New Jersey fishermen accounted for 73 percent of the landings. Cape
May vessels took 77 percent of the New Jersey landings. New Jersey landings (6.7 million pounds) increased 7
percent over 1975, but New York landings (2.5 million pounds) declined 36 percent.

and 8 percent in value over 1975. Landings in New Jersey were 7.9 million pounds—76 percent of the total
catch. Point Pleasant was the leading port in New Jersey with 56 percent of the landings; Belford was next
with 30 percent; and Cape May had 14 percent. The leading port in New York was Brooklyn with 53 percent;
Montauk, 33 percent; and Cape May, 14 percent.

CHESAPEAKE FISHERIES
Commercial landings of fish and shellfish in the Chesapeake States of Maryland and Virginia were
587.0 million pounds valued at a record $74.2 million. Compared with 1975, this was an increase of 77.8
million pounds (15 percent) and $18.2 million (32 percent). The increase in quantity was primarily caused by
improved landings of menhaden, sea seallops, bluefish, and croaker. Species having reduced landings were surf
clams, alewives, oysters, and hard blue erabs.
Virginia landings of 528.9 million pounds valued at $43.4 million were 90 percent of the volume and 58
percent of the value of the Chesapeake catch. Leading species in Virginia were menhaden with 83 percent of
the volume; hard blue crabs, 5 percent; and surf clams, 3 percent. Maryland landings were 58.1 million pounds
worth $30.8 million. Hard blue crabs accounted for 33 percent of the Maryland landings; oysters, 26 percent;
surf clams, 12 percent; and menhaden, 9 percent. With minor exceptions, the James River in Virginia
continued to be closed in 1976 to all fishing, because of the presence of Kepone, an insecticide discharged by
a chemical firm into the upper river at Hopewell. Among the exceptions was the transplanting of seed
oysters, which had to remain on the new unpolluted ground for 1 year before harvesting. Shad fishing was
allowed for a short time, but was closed in April. In May harvesting was permitted for channel catfish, hard
clams, and oysters for transplanting. In June a portion of Hampton Roads was open for the capture of female
blue crabs for marketing as picked meat only. /
Fishermen and vessels. In 1976, 24,990 full-time and part-time fishermen operated 1,939 vessels of 5 net
fons and over, 15,245 motorboats, and 163 other boats. Compared with 1975, this was an increase of 716
fishermen and 28 vessels, but a decline of 807 motorboats and 209 other boats.
Processed products. The value of processed products in the Chesapeake States was $226.6 million—an
increase Of $65.8 million over 1975. Products from Maryland plants were worth $128.4 million—57 percent of
the area total. In Virginia, processed products were valued at $98.2 million. Maryland, Virginia, and the
District of Columbia had 373 wholesaling and processing establishments, which employed an average of 7,736
persons per year.
Alewives. Landings of 4.4 million pounds valued at $163,000 declined 64 percent in quantity and 61 percent in
value from 1975. The harvest was the smallest on record—continuing the downward trend that began in 1971.
Declining stocks of fish, reduced market demand, and fewer processors caused the decline. Landings of
alewives in Virginia were 4.2 million pounds—97 percent of the total Chesapeake landings.
Clams. Landings of surf clams were 21.2 million pounds of meats valued at $11.4 million—a decline of 52
percent in quantity, but an inerease of 70 percent in value compared with 1975. The average exvessel price
per pound of meats was 53.6 cents in 1976 compared with 15.1 cents in 1975. Landings in Virginia (14.1
million pounds) declined 64 percent, but landings in Maryland (7.1 million pounds) increased 33 percent
compared with 1975. Virginia landings were 58 percent below the previous 5-year average of 33.7 million
pounds. The Virginia clam beds that were so heavily dredged in 1975 became quite depleted during 1976.
Maryland landings improved, because the fleet started operations off the Delmarva peninsula.
Hard clam landings were 929,000 pounds of meats valued at $902,000—down 20 percent in quantity and
16 percent in value from 1975. Virginia fishermen landed 96 percent of the total volume. Dealers had
problems selling chowder-sized clams, which made up a large portion of the catch. The closing of the James
River seriously affected the production from Virginia's hard clam areas. Of the Virginia landings, seaside
bays off the Atlantic Ocean accounted for 36 percent; the James River, 28 percent; the Poquoson River, 21
percent; and the remainder were from the York River and various areas in the Chesapeake Bay. All of the
Maryland production was from Chincoteague Bay.
Maryland had the entire production of 1.8 million pounds of meats valued at $2.8 million. Compared
with 1975, this was an increase of 40 percent in volume and 134 percent in value. Exvessel prices averaged
$18 to $25 per bushel compared with $12 per bushel in 1975. Pocomoke Sound produced 37 percent of the
clams. In December of 1975 the discovery of an untapped bed of mostly large-sized clams in Pocomoke Sound
brought a rush of boats to that area. In April, much of the soft clam areas in the Choptank River and
Pocomoke Sound were closed, but some portions of the areas were reopened later in the year.
Crabs. Landings of hard blue crabs were 45.2 million pounds valued at a record $9.7 million—a decline of 24
percent in volume, but an increase of 4 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings were the lowest since
1959 and 31 percent below the previous 5-year average. Chesapeake Bay watermen and scientists blame the
smaller landings on declining stands of eel grass which produce habitat and food for crabs. The exvessel price
jumped when blue erabs failed to appear in large numbers in the Chesapeake Bay in July and August. Virginia
erabbers caught 57 percent of the total with 25.8 million pounds landed. Crab pot fishermen accounted for 76
percent of the Virginia landings; dredges, 23 percent; and pound nets, 1 percent. Maryland crab pot fishermen
took 66 percent of the 19.4 million pounds landed in that State. The rest were taken mostly by trot lines.
CHESAPEAKE FISHERIES 11
Landings of soft and peeler blue crabs were 2.2 million pounds valued at $1.6 million. This was a
decline of 7 percent in quantity, but an increase of 30 percent in value. Maryland fishermen accounted for
1.5 million pounds or 66 percent of the total area landings. Scrapes accounted for 73 percent of the Maryland
catch. About 47 percent of the 761,000 pounds landed in Virginia were taken by pound nets and 45 percent by
erab pots.
Lobsters, American. Landings were 261,000 pounds valued at $517,000—increases of 74 percent in volume
and 91 percent in value over 1975. Virginia fishermen took 99 percent of the total in offshore pots. In
Maryland, 97 percent of the catch was taken in offshore pots.
Menhaden. In 1976, landings of 446.1 million pounds valued at $13.2 million increased 39 percent in volume
and 67 percent in value over 1975. Menhaden accounted for 75 percent of the total Chesapeake States
production of all fish and shellfish. Virginia landings of menhaden were 440.8 million pounds—an increase of
40 percent over 1975. Landings in Maryland were 5.4 million pounds, down 12 percent from 1975 and 22
percent below the average for 1971-75. Purse seiners made 91 percent of the Chesapeake menhaden landings;
pound nets took the rest.
Other finfish. Croaker landings of 7.0 million pounds valued at $906,000 were up 30 percent in quantity and
60 percent in value over 1975. Landings were the highest since 1959 and 282 percent above the previous
5-year average of 1.8 million pounds. Virginia accounted for 85 percent of the croaker landings. Striped bass
landings of 2.9 million pounds valued at $1.5 million declined 33 percent in volume and 14 percent in value
compared with 1975. Landings were the lowest since 1957 and 49 percent below the 1971-75 average. Record
landings of bluefish were 4.7 million pounds valued at a record $324,000. Compared with 1975, this was an
inerease of 31 percent in quantity and 19 percent in value. Bluefish landings have been increasing in the
Chesapeake since 1972. Landings of gray sea trout were 4.4 million pounds valued at $670,000, a decline of
11 percent in quantity but an increase of 6 percent in value compared with 1975. Fluke flounder landings
were 4.0 million pounds valued at $1.4 million in 1976—a decline of 7 percent in volume, but an increase of 14
percent in value compared with 1975. Shad landings of 1.0 million pounds was the lowest on record for the
Chesapeake area.
Oysters. The Chesapeake States led in U.S. production with 21.0 million pounds of meats valued at a record
$21.7 million. Compared with 1975 this was a decrease of 7 percent in volume, but an increase of 20 percent
in value. Production was the lowest since 1963 when the Minchinia nelsoni organism caused extensive
mortalities in the lower Chesapeake bay. Landings in Maryland of 14.9 million pounds was a decline of 9
percent from 1975. Poor weather (gale force winds, icy conditions) hampered this fishery late in the year. In
Virginia, landings were 6.1 million pounds—a decrease of 2 percent compared with 1975. The Virginia seed
oyster fishery harvested 652,132 bushels valued at $1.0 million—increases of 36 percent in volume and 16
percent in value compared with 1975. This occurred despite the winter ban on the taking of market and seed
oysters in the James River, because of Kepone pollution.
Sea scallops. Landings were 2.9 million pounds of meats valued at $4.9 million—increases of 127 percent in
Volume and 109 percent in value over 1975. The average exvessel price was $1.69 per pound of meats—down
14 cents from 1975. Almost all the catch was made in Virginia. Dredge vessels made 51 percent of the total
catch in the Chesapeake. The rest of the catch was landed by trawlers, which brought the scallops ashore in
the shell for shucking in shoreside plants. Dredge vessels made 120 trips for an average of 12,300 pounds of
meats per trip. Trawlers made 205 trips for an average of 6,700 pounds of meats per trip.

SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES
Landings of U.S. commercial fishermen in the South Atlantic States of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, and the East Coast of Florida (including freshwater areas of Florida) were 318.5 million pounds
valued at a record $74.0 million. This was a 4-percent decrease in volume, but a 16-percent increase in value
compared with 1975. Landings declined for several major species such as catfish and bullheads, flounders,
menhaden, spot, and hard blue crabs. However, landings of croaker, thread herring, king and spanish
mackerel, black mullet, and gray sea trout increased significantly. The increase in value was caused by
moderate to strong price increases for almost all species of fish and shellfish.
North Carolina led all States with landings of 226.1 million pounds—a decline of 5 percent; Georgia,
14.5 million pounds, declined 18 percent; and Florida, East Coast, 56.4 million pounds, declined less than 1
percent. Landings in South Carolina (21.5 million pounds) increased 7 percent over 1975.
Fishermen and vessels. The South Atlantic States had 10,580 full-time and part-time fishermen operating
1,421 vessels of 5 gross tons or more, 5,752 motorboats, and 264 boats other than motor. Compared with
1975, this was an increase of 338 fishermen, 346 motorboats and 14 other boats, but a decrease of 125 vessels.
Processed products. The value of processed fishery products was $126.7 million, a decline of $3.7 million
from 1975. Georgia led in production with products valued at $48.6 million, followed by Florida, East Coast
with $38.5 million; North Carolina, $29.5 million; and South Carolina, $10.0 million. Florida, East Coast was
the only State which had a decline in value—down 17 percent from 1975. Frozen products with $76.2 million
accounted for 60 percent of the total products. The four States had a monthly average of 5,696 persons
employed in 522 wholesaling and processing plants.
Hard blue crabs. Landings were 27.4 million pounds valued at $5.2 million—a decline of 10 percent in
volume, but an increase of 27 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings were the smallest since 1956
and 22 percent below the average of the previous 5 years. North Carolina landings were 11.7 million pounds
valued at $2.4 million, an increase of only 6 percent in volume but up 65 percent in value over 1975. Strong
demand and lower landings in neighboring States drove exvessel prices to record levels during 1976. South
Carolina landings of 5.7 million pounds were down 10 percent; Georgia, 5.9 million, down 34 percent; and
Florida, East Coast, 4.0 million pounds, down 4 percent.
Food finfish. Landings of edible finfish were 95.0 million pounds—an increase of 6.7 million pounds over
T975. Species with notable increases in 1976 were croaker (up 47 percent), king mackerel (up 31 percent),
spanish mackerel (up 85 percent), black mullet (up 44 percent), and gray sea trout (up 29 percent). Croaker,
king mackerel, gray sea trout, and spanish mackerel had record landings. Black mullet had the highest
landings since 1966. Several major species including catfish and bullheads, flounders, and spot declined in
volume in 1976. Landings of spot were the smallest since 1970 and were 47 percent below the 1971-795
average.
Spiny lobsters. Landings were 987,000 pounds valued at $1.7 million—declines of 57 percent in volume and 43
percent in value from 1975. The quantity landed was the smallest since 1964. The average price per pound
increased from $1.30 in 1975 to $1.76 in 1976. All landings were made at Florida, East Coast ports.
Menhaden. Landings were 145.0 million pounds, a decline of 13 percent from 1975. North Carolina with 93
percent of the total landings had 134.9 million pounds—down 12 percent from 1975. The summer fishery
landings were down 14 percent, but the fall landings were up about 18 percent. Fourteen vessels operated in
the summer fishery, 13 in the fall fishery. The remaining 10.1 million pounds of menhaden in the South
Atlantie area were landed along the east coast of Florida. Landings in Florida, East Coast were 21 percent
below 1975 and the smallest since 1958.
Oysters. Landings yielded 1.7 million pounds of meats worth $1.2 million, an increase of 8 percent in volume
and 16 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings and value increased in every State except North
Carolina. Landings in South Carolina (the leading producer) increased 14 percent; Georgia, 64 percent; and
Florida, East Coast, 42 percent. Landings in North Carolina declined 22 percent in volume and 12 percent in
value from 1975.
Seallops. Total landings of all species of scallops yielded 1.8 million pounds of meats worth $2.0 million—a
decline of 11 percent in volume, but an increase of 42 percent in value compared with 1975. Bay scallop
landings were 248,000 pounds—up 84 percent from 1975. Calico scallop landings were 1.4 million pounds in
1976 compared with 426,000 pounds in 1975. Sea scallops accounted for 62 percent of the total scallop
production. Landings were 1.1 million pounds in 1976, an increase of 686,000 over 1975. Bay scallops and sea
seallops are landed only in North Carolina, while calico scallops are produced only in Florida, East Coast.
SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES 161
Shrimp. Landings of 26.1 million pounds (heads-on) valued at $34.9 million were up 5 percent in quantity and
T5 percent in value over 1975. Fishermen received an average price of a record $1.34 per pound compared
with $1.22 in 1975 and 68 cents in 1974. Landings in South Carolina (8.7 million pounds) declined 2 percent
and Georgia (7.8 million pounds) declined 4 percent from 1975. North Carolina landings of 6.6 million pounds
increased 29 percent and landings along the east coast of Florida increased 8 percent over 1975.
Compared with 1975, brown shrimp landings increased 44 percent and rock shrimp increased 12
percent. Landings of pink shrimp were down 10 percent; white shrimp, 10 percent; and royal red shrimp, 60
percent. White shrimp represented 56 percent of the total catch, brown shrimp, 36 percent, and pink, 7
percent. Royal red and rock shrimp landings made up the remaining 1 percent.

10 SECTION 6 - GULF FISHERIES
Commercial fishery landings at ports in the Gulf States (West Coast of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Texas) were 1.7 billion pounds worth a record $386.4 million—increases of 5 percent in quantity
and 43 percent in value over 1975. Landings of several major species such as menhaden, shrimp, and oysters
inereased in volume. Among the important species that declined in volume were croaker, black mullet, and
hard blue crabs.
Louisiana led in volume of landings with 1.2 billion pounds (70 percent); followed by Mississippi with
288.2 million (17 percent); Florida, West Coast, 110.6 million (6 percent); Texas, 93.4 million (5 percent); and
Alabama, 31.8 million pounds (2 percent). Compared with 1975, landings increased in Louisiana and Texas,
but declined in Florida, West Coast, Alabama, and Mississippi. The value of landings increased in all States.
Fishermen and vessels. In 1976, 28,068 full-time and part-time fishermen operated 5,193 vessels of net tons
or more, 9,982 motorboats, and 54 other boats not powered by a motor. Compared with 1975, this was an
increase of 1,508 fishermen and 523 vessels, but a decrease of 160 motorboats and 7 other boats.
Processed products. The value of processed fishery products was $661.9 million, an increase of $243.7 million
(58 percent) compared with 1975. Frozen packaged items were 70 percent of the total value of processed
products—up 69 percent over 1975. Fresh processed items increased 45 percent in value; canned, 57 percent;
and industrial, 23 percent. Cured products were down 7 percent. The value of processed products increased
in all States. Louisiana led with products valued at $191.3 million (up 43 percent); followed by Florida, West
Coast, $172.5 million (up 57 percent); Texas, $151.2 million (up 100 percent); Mississippi, $73.7 million (up 26
percent); and Alabama, $73.1 million, (up 78 percent). The Gulf States had a monthly average of 12,145
persons employed in 726 wholesaling and processing plants in 1976.
Hard blue crabs. Landings of 36.6 million pounds valued at a record $6.8 million declined 6 percent in
volume, but increased 23 percent in value compared with 1975. Florida, West Coast landings were 12.0
million pounds (down 6 percent); Alabama, 1.3 million (down 21 percent); and Louisiana, 15.2 million pounds
(down 11 percent). Mississippi had landings of 1.3 million pounds (up 17 percent), and Texas had 6.7 million
pounds (up 11 percent). Landings in Alabama were the lowest since 1963. A low fall production of local crabs
in Alabama was partially offset by dealers trucking crabs from out-of-State.
Food finfish. The toal volume of food finfish was 96.6 million pounds in 1976—down 6 percent from the
previous year. Landings of black mullet (18.6 million pounds) declined 27 percent; croaker (8.2 million), 36
percent; groupers (6.9 million), 5 percent; red snapper (7.1 million), 9 percent; and spotted sea trout (5.9
million pounds), 6 percent. Landings of croaker were 38 percent below the average for the previous 5 years.
Landings of black mullet were the lowest since 1908, and landings of red snapper were the lowest since 1951.
Among the species that increased in volume were catfish and bullheads (6.9 million pounds), up 14 percent;
red drum (a record 5.3 million), 21 percent; and spanish mackerel (8.3 million pounds), 36 percent.
Spiny lobster. Landings of 4.4 million pounds valued at $6.9 million were down 731,000 pounds, but up
$15,000 compared with 1975. This was the lowest production since 1968. The entire catch was landed at
Florida, West Coast ports. Fishermen received an average price of $1.57 per pound—23 cents more than in
1975.
Menhaden. Landings of 1.2 billion pounds worth $44.0 million were up 3 percent in volume and 24 percent in
value over 1975. Menhaden was 85 percent of the finfish production in the Gulf. Louisiana led with landings
of 1.1 billion pounds—85 percent of the total harvest. Mississippi was next with landings of 180.2 million
pounds (14 percent), followed by Florida, West Coast with 722,000 pounds (1 percent). No menhaden were
landed in Alabama and Texas. Poor weather in the early part of the season held down landings in the Gulf.
Age-1 menhaden dominated the catch (65 to 76 percent), as they did in 1974 and 1975. Fishing effort in the
purse seine fishery increased; 82 vessels operated in 1976—20 more than in 1975.
Oysters. The production of 21.6 million pounds of shucked oyster meats valued at $16.1 million increased 12
percent in volume and 48 percent in value over 1975. The harvest was the best since 1968 and 23 percent
above the 1971-75 average. Compared with 1975, landings in Florida, West Coast were 2.6 million pounds (up
22. percent); Alabama, 1.2 million (up 94 percent); Mississippi, 1.5 million (up 40 percent); and Texas, 3.9
million pounds (up 121 percent). In Louisiana, landings of 12.3 million pounds were down 10 percent from the
record production in 1975. Louisiana had 57 percent of the total oyster production in the Gulf compared with
71 percent in 1975. The canned oyster pack in Louisiana, mostly oysters taken from State-owned reefs, was
66 percent below 1975.
GULF FISHERIES 191
Shrimp. Landings were 210.2 million pounds valued at a record $275.2 million—increases of 24 percent in
volume and 54 percent in value over 1975. Gulf States had 52 percent of the total production and 83 percent
of the total value in the United States. Despite closing of Mexican waters to the shrimp fleet in 1976, high
landings of all species of shrimp were recorded at Gulf ports during the year. Low rainfall, high salinities,
and lack of cold spells provided an excellent year for shrimp production.
Landings increased in all States except Florida, West Coast. Alabama with 18.7 million pounds
increased 33 percent; Mississippi, 7.6 million, 87 percent; Louisiana, 82.4 million, 55 percent; and Texas, 74.8
million pounds, 6 percent. Florida, West Coast landings were 26.8 million pounds—down 5 percent from 1975.
In 1976, fishing grounds from the Mississippi River to Texas produced 48 percent of the shrimp brought
into ports along the Gulf; the Texas Coast, 28 percent; Pensacola to Mississippi River, 10 percent; Sanibel to
Tortugas, 8 percent; Apalachicola area, 3 percent; and the high seas off foreign coast, 3 percent.
Brown shrimp were 60 percent of the landings, white shrimp, 28 percent, pink shrimp, 11 percent; and
sea bobs, 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. 7704. 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 Resource Statisties Division in cooperation with the
respective States.

SECTION 7 za
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
Landings by U.S. commercial fishermen in the Pacific Coast States of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and
California were 1.8 billion pounds valued at a record $537 million in 1976, up 15 percent in quantity and 56
percent in value compared with 1975. Pacific Coast landings were the largest in quantity since 1950. Sharply
higher landings in Alaska and moderate increases in California and Oregon offset a small decline in
Washington in 1976. The record value was due to a combination of higher prices, as the fisheries recovered
from the economic slump of 1975, and heavier landings of high value species, namely salmon and crabs.
In terms of quantity, California accounted for slightly over half of total Pacific Coast landings in 1976.
Tuna made up by far the largest share in terms of value.
Alaska again led the other States in 1976 with $239 million followed by California with $187 million.
Three high value species made up most of the value of Alaska landings—salmon, king crab, and snow crab.
Tuna made up the bulk of the value of landings in California.
The total foreign catch in 1976 from Pacific Coast waters was 1.9 million metric tons (4.2 billion
pounds) down almost 5 percent compared with 1975, but still more than twice the size of the domestic catch.
This was the fifth year in a row that foreign catches have declined since 1971, the peak year. The catch of
all countries either declined or increased only slightly, except for Korea. The total catch by Korean vessels
in 1976 was more than 6 times greater than in 1975. The total foreign catch declined in all areas of the
Pacific Coast except the Gulf of Alaska, where it increased by 27 percent over the 1975 catch.
Two factors have been at work to reduce foreign catches in recent years. The first, and probably most
important, was a marked 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 1976, Japan with 1.1 million metric tons, accounted for 59 percent of the total foreign catch off the
Pacific Coast States; the U.S.S.R., with 616,000 metric tons, for 32 percent; Korea, with 14,000 metric tons,
7 percent; Poland, with 25,000 metric tons, 1 percent; and Canada, with 3,300 metrie tons, less than 1
percent. Catches from waters off Alaska accounted for more than 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 1976, the foreign catch of Alaska pollock was 2.7 billion pounds (1,237,000 metric tons).
The catch of Pacific hake was 392 million pounds (178,000 metric tons); flounder, turbots, and other flatfish
except halibut, 176 million pounds (80,000 metric tons); Pacific ocean perch, 159 million pounds (72,000
metrie tons); atka mackerel, 134 million pounds (61,000 metric tons); cod, 129 million pounds (59,000 metric
tons); sablefish, 92 million pounds (42,000 metric tons); sea herring, 51 million pounds (23,000 metric tons);
rockfishes, except Pacific ocean perch, 48 million pounds (22,000 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, shrimp, halibut, jack mackerel, and snails were negligible.
Fishermen and craft. The Pacific Coast fleet of fishing vessels (craft of 5 net tons or more) continued to
increase in number and total tonnage in 1976, a trend unbroken since 1964. The number of boats (craft of less
than 5 net tons) however, has shown no upward or downward trend in recent years.
In 1976, the number of fishing vessels was 7,193 with a total tonnage of 284,682, up 2 percent in
number and 6 percent in tonnage compared with 1975. The number of fishermen aboard these vessels rose to
23,702 in 1976, up 4 percent. The number of boats in service rose to 13,838 in 1976, 4 percent more than in
1975. The number of fishermen on boats and shore was 24,661 in 1976, an increase of 12 percent compared
with 1975.
Processed products. The value of Pacific Coast production of processed products was a record $1.1 billion in
TOT6 ap BT percent compared with 1975. California accounted for 54 percent of the total; Alaska, 33
percent; Washington, 7 percent; and Oregon, 6 percent. The production of canned products, mainly tuna and
salmon, comprised 65 percent of the total for the Pacific Coast States; fresh and frozen products, 30 percent;
and cured products made up the remainder.
222 PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
The increase in the value cf processed products was due to sharply higher production levels of fresh,
frozen, and canned products and moderate increases in prices. The Pacific Coast States had 398 processing
plants that employed a total of 17,723 on a regular-basis and 25,988 at the season's peak in 1976. In the same
year, there were 146 wholesale establishments employing 1,711 persons on a regular basis and 2,255 at the
season's peak. Compared with 1975, the number of processing plants declined by 53 and the number of regular
employees by 832. The number of seasonal workers, however, increased slightly.
Anchovy. Pacifie Coast landings of anchovy (northern anchovy) were 263.5 million pounds valued at $6.6
Million in 1976—a decrease of 20 percent in quantity and 45 percent in value compared with the record
harvest in calendar year. Virtually all U.S. landings of anchovy are caught in California waters. Slightly
more than 90 percent of the catch was taken by purse seine vessels and used primarily for reduction to fish
meal and oil. The remainder was caught in lampara nets and sold live for bait..
Although anchovy landings are shown here on a calendar-year basis, the State of California regulated
the anchovy season to begin in August and continue into May of the following year. The record harvest in
1975 was due to a relaxation of these regulations to allow more fishing for reduction purposes. For the new
season beginning in August 1976, however, the California Fish and Game Commmission adopted a more
restrictive policy.
Bonito. Landings of bonito were 8.9 million pounds valued at $1.2 million in 1976, down 72 percent in quantity
and 69 percent in value compared with the record landings of 1975. All landings were made at California
ports; 5.0 million pounds (62 percent) eame from waters south of California, the remainder came from
California waters.
Deliveries to canneries were low all during 1976 despite sharply higher prices than in 1975. At the
beginning of the season in July, 1976, the price offered by canning companies, the principal users, was $280
per ton for bonito larger than 5 pounds. The beginning price in 1975 was much lower, ranging from $210 to
$240 per ton. In November 1976 the price was increased to $290 per ton, but deliveries remained low.
Flounders. Landings of Pacific flounders and turbot reached a record 62.0 million pounds valued at $10.3
million in 1976. This reord was 9 percent more in quantity and 19 percent more in value compared with 1975,
the previous record year. Slightly over 90 percent of the total landings consisted of various species of sole—
dover , english ,petrale, and rex sole. The most important of which was dover sole. California was the
leading State accounting for 57 percent of total flounder and turbot landings. Oregon folllowed with 24
percent; Washington, 18 percent; and Alaska, 1 percent.
Jack mackerel. Pacific Coast landings of jack mackerel were 44.9 million pounds valued at $2.1 million in
, up 22 percent in quantity and 23 percent in value compared with 1975. Jack mackerel landings hit a low
point of 20.7 million pounds in 1973 when a major jack mackerel canning plant in California was severely
damaged by fire. The plant has been rebuilt and landings have increased, but not to the level occuring before
the fire. All or virtually all jack mackerel are caught in waters off the State of California and landed at
Southern California ports.
Halibut. Landings of Pacific halibut at ports in the Pacific States were 18.1 million pounds valued at $21.8
Million in 1976, a 14 percent decrease in quantity, but a 35 percent increase in value compared with 1975.
Although the quantity caught was the second lowest in recent years, the total value of the landings was the
highest on record. Inflation and the relative scarcity of halibut caused very high prices. Slightly over 90
percent of total landings were made in Alaska. Almost all of the remainder was landed in Washington.
Kodiak, Seward, and Petersburg, Alaska were the leading halibut ports.
Prices received by fishermen were relatively unchanged throughout 1976, and averaged about $1.25 per
pound. The price spread between large and medium halibut decreased compared with other recent years.
Similarly, the difference in price between northern and southern ports has diminished.
Management of the Pacific halibut fishery of the United States and Canada is coordinated through the
International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC). The IPHC annual report for 1976 shows that there was a
low stock size, and a long term reduction in the number of young halibut entering the fishery. It is believed
that the foreign catch of halibut taken incidentally when fishing for other species was an important factor in
the depletion of halibut stocks.
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES 223
Lingcod. Pacific Coast landings of lingeod were 7.8 million pounds valued at $1.1 million in 1976, down 15
percent in quantity and 8 percent in value compared with 1975. Washington was the leading State with 45
percent of the total; California was next with 40 percent; then Oregon, 14 percent; and Alaska, 1 percent.
Pacific cod. U.S. landings of Pacific cod were 12.9 million pounds valued at $1.7 million in 1976, up 6
percent in quantity and 24 percent in value compared with 1975. The quantity landed in 1976 was the largest
since 1959. Washington led the other States with 91 percent of the total quantity; Alaska and Oregon
accounted for the remainder.
The foreign catch of Pacific cod was 129.6 million pounds in 1976, up 2 percent compared with 1975
and 28 percent above the average for the previous 5 years. All of the catch was taken in Alaska waters.
Japan took 57 percent; the U.S.S.R., 41 percent, and the Republie of Korea accounted for the remainder.
Poland and Canada dropped out of the fishery in 1976.
Pacific hake. U.S. landings of Pacific hake (whiting) were 4.2 million pounds valued at $77,000 up 25 percent
in quantity and 54 percent in value. Almost 90 percent of the catch was landed in Washington; Oregon and
California accounted for the remainder.
Foreign catches totaled 392.0 million pounds in 1976, down 10 percent from 1975 and 12 percent from
1974, the record year. The U.S.S.R. share was 339.3 million pounds in 1976, down slightly from 1975. The
Polish catch, however, was 52.2 million pounds in 1976 compared with 91.6 million pounds in 1975. All of the
catch came from waters off California, Oregon, and Washington.
Pacifie ocean perch and other rockfishes. Total U.S. landings of Pacific ocean perch and other rockfishes
were 49.6 million pounds valued at $6.9 million in 1976, an increase of 28 percent in quantity and 43 percent
in value compared with 1975. The quantity was the largest since 1965 and the value was a record. Landings
of Pacific ocean perch were 5.4 million pounds in 1976, up sharply from 1975. Landings of other rockfishes
were 44.3 million pounds in 1976, 27 percent above 1975, and the largest since the record year, 1945.
Foreign catches off the Pacific Coast States were several times larger than domestic landings. In
1976, foreign catches, although 10 percent below 1975, were 207.3 million pounds. The Pacific ocean perch
eatech was 158.5 million pounds, and the catch of other rockfishes was 48.7 million pounds. Most of the catch
was made in the Gulf of Alaska (61 percent) and in the Bering Sea and Aleutians (34 percent). The remainder
(4 percent or 8.6 million pounds) was taken in waters off California, Oregon, and Washington.
Sea herring. U.S. landings of Pacific sea herring were 43.5 million pounds valued at $3.9 million in 1976,
wn percent in quantity but up 7 percent in value compared with 1975. Alaska accounted for 75 percent
of the total quantity landed; Washington, 14 percent; and California, 11 percent. About 67 percent of Pacific
sea herring landings was used for human consumption; almost all of the remainder was used as bait in other
fisheries.
Landings of sea herring, which as recently as 1959 were 114.7 million pounds declined to very low
levels in 1965-72. In that period they ranged from a high of 34.5 million pounds in 1965 to a low of 14.2
million pounds in 1971. Since 1973, however, landings have recovered, and have been over 40 million pounds
in 1973-76.
The foreign catch off U.S. shores was 51.0 million pounds in 1976, up 35 percent compared with 1975.
The U.S.S.R. accounted for 73 percent; Japan, 27 percent. In 1976, all of the catch came from the Bering
Sea-Aleutian area. In 1975, however, about 3 million pounds were taken in the Washington-Oregon-California
area, and the remainder from the Bering Sea-Aleutian area.
Sablefish. U.S. landings of sablefish (black cod) were 17.6 million pounds valued at $2.3 million in 1976, down
SJ percent in quantity and 12 percent in value compared with 1975, the record year. Fluctuations in the
landings from year to year are caused by changes in market demand. However, consistently large landings
since 1972 are in large part a result of a growing market for export to Japan. About three-fourths of total
landings are made in California.
22 PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES
The foreign catch of sablefish off the Pacific Coast States was 92.1 million pounds in 1976, up 28
percent compared with 1975. Japan accounted for 54 percent of total landings, and the Republic of Korea, 45
percent. The U.S.S.R. and Canada accounted for the small remainder.
The foreign catch of sablefish in the California-Oregon-Washington area was 33.9 million pounds in
1976. The catch in the Gulf of Alaska was 49.2 million pounds; and the Bering Sea-Aleutian area, 9.0 million
pounds.
Pacific salmon. Pacific salmon landings were 310.1 million pounds valued at a record 191.0 million, up 54
percent in volume and 78 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings were above the previous 5-year
average of 237.9 million pounds and the best since 1971.
Commercial landings in Alaska were 245.9 million pounds, an increase of 79 percent compared with
1975. Major runs were good or above average for Bristol Bay, Kodiak, the Alaska Peninsula, Prince William
Sound, Cook Inlet, and the Yukon. In southeastern Alaska, pink salmon stocks seemed unable to recover from
the harsh winters of the early 1970's. Fraser River catches were the best since 1912. Alaska landings of
commercial pink salmon landings (102.4 million pounds) increased 105 percent; red salmon (75.7 million
pounds), up 77 percent; chum salmon (47.6 million pounds), up 55 percent; and silver (11.2 million pounds) and
chinook (8.9 million pounds) increased 57 and 30 percent, respectively.
Commercial Washington landings of salmon were 41.2 million pounds in 1976, a decline of 9 percent
compared with 1975. The principal reason for the decline was in landings of pink salmon as a result of the
usual off-year (even year) production in Puget Sound.
Oregon commercial landings of salmon (15.8 million pounds) were the best since 1971. Silver salmon
were 10.5 million pounds, up 80 percent, while chinook landings increased only slightly compared with 1975.
California salmon landings increased slightly in 1976 to 7.8 million pounds, compared with 6.9 million
pound in 1975. The North Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council is developing a Fishery Management
Plan for the recreational and commercial troll salmon fisheries.
Almost ail foreign fishing for salmon in waters off the Pacifie Coast is prohibited by treaty. Fishing
for salmon in these waters by Canadian vessels is regulated under bilateral agreements with Canada.
Tuna. Landings of tuna in the Pacific Coast States were a record 449.8 million pounds in 1976, up 25 percent
compared with 1975 and 33 percent more than the average for the previous 5 years. The value of 1976
landings also was a record. Larger than usual landings of both skipjack and yellowfin tuna were responsible
for the 1976 record quantity. Yellowfin landings of 283.0 million pounds were a record. Skipjack landings of
128.9 million pounds, although not a record, were almost 70 percent above the average for the previous 5
years.
In 1976, yellowfin landings accounted for 60 percent of Pacifie Coast tuna landings; skipjack accounted
for 27 percent; albacore, 9 percent; and bluefin, 4 percent. California accounted for 95 percent of Pacific
Coast landings in 1976. Oregon and Washington received the remainder.
Yellowfin tuna fishing by U.S. fishermen is closely regulated by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard ina
major producing area of the eastern Pacific Ocean. The regulation is in response to recommendations of the
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). In the Commission's Yellowfin Regulatory Area (CYRA)
the total yellowfin quota for member nations in 1976 was 175,000 short tons with allowances for two
increments of 10,000 tons each should data from the fishery warrant such increases. In 1976 the CYRA
season on yellowfin opened on January 1. The quota was easily reached, and the season was closed March 27.
The U.S. share of the yellowfin catch in the CYRA was 70 percent, up from 62 percent in 1975.
Crabs, dungeness. Landings of dungeness crabs in the Pacific Coast States were 34.4 million pounds valued at
a record 20.8 million in 1976, up 87 percent in quantity compared with 1975 and 48 percent above the average
for the previous 5 years. The increase in 1976 was attributed to a strong incoming year class which attracted
commercial fishing craft into the fishery. California accounted for 46 percent of landings in 1976;
Washington, 26 percent; Oregon, 23 percent; and Alaska for the remainder.
PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES 225
Crabs, king. »Pacific Coast landings of king crab, all of which were made in Alaska, were 105.9 million pounds
valued at a record $68.7 million in 1976, up 8 percent in quantity and 80 percent in value compared with 1975.
King crab landings have risen irregularly since the low pouint of 52.1 million pounds in 1970, but are well
below the record 159.2 million pounds set in 1966.
As a result of international agreements, fishing by foreign vessels for king crab in waters off Alaska
was not permitted after 1973.
Crabs, snow (tanner). U.S. landings of snow crab were a record 80.8 million pounds valued at a record $16.2
Million in 1976, up 72 percent in quantity and 130 percent in value. With the general recovery of exvessel
prices from the lows reached in 1975, additional vessels entered the fishery, and the number of "other" crab
pots (consisting in very large part of snow crab pots) in Alaska rose to 47,510, up 27 percent compared with
1975.
Foreign catches off U.S. shores of snow crab were 22.5 million pounds (10,200 metric tons) in 1976, the
same asin 1975. Japan was the only taking country.
Oysters. The yield of oyster meats in the Pacific Coast States in 1976 was 6.4 million pounds valued at $8.4
aiulvoi=increases of 10 percent in volume and 12 percent in value over 1975. Washington with 86 percent of
the production was the only state with an increase in volume in 1976.
Shrimp. Landings of Pacific Coast shrimp were 167.9 million pounds valued at $20.1 million in 1976—up 20
percent in volume and 45 percent in value over 1975. Alaska led in U.S. production for the fifth consecutive
year with a record 128.7 million pounds—30 percent over 1975. Landings of shrimp in Oregon were a record
25.5 million pounds (up 7 percent). Shrimp landings in Washington were 9.4 million pounds, down 7 percent
and California with 4.4 million pounds declined 64 percent from 1975.
The foreign catch of shrimp in Pacific Coast waters was 955,000 pounds (433 metric tons) in 1976, up
from 498,000 pounds (226 metric tons) in 1975, but far below the record of 19.7 million pounds (8,930 metric
tons in 1965).

GREAT LAKES FISHERIES
280
United States and Canadian commercial fishermen, operating in the five Great Lakes’and in three
of the five Internation! Lakes of northern Minnesota and Canada, landed 105.2 million pounds of freshwater
fish—an increase of 569,000 pounds over 1975. The harvest from the International Lakes decreased 16
percent in the United States and 9 percent in Canada. The U.S. production of 863,000 pounds was the lowest
recorded catch since 1922.
Canada produced 38.6 million pounds of fish in 1976, 4.3 million pounds below the 1975 landings.
This catch constituted 37 percent of the total production from both countries. As in previous years, smelt
and yellow perch dominated the Canadian catch, accounting for 63 percent of the total landings in 1976.
The U.S. landings of 66.5 million pounds valued at $10.7 million increased 4.8 million pounds and
$1.5 million over 1975. In 1976, U.S. fishermen received an average of 16.2 cents per pound, an increase of
1.2 cents compared with 1975. Landings of alewives, taken only in Lake Michigan, were 39.2 million pounds—
an inerease of 4.0 million pounds compared with 1975. Increases for other major species were gizzard shad,
up 618,000 pounds; sheepshead, 176,000; smelt, 2.8 million; and whitefish (common), up 783,000 pounds. There
were declines, however in landings of burbot, down 236,000 pounds; carp, 2.1 million; chubs, 786,000; lake
trout, 131,000; and white bass, down 170,000 pounds. U.S. landings from Lake Michigan were 48.4 million
pounds; followed by Lake Erie, 9.0 million; Lake Superior, 5.9 million; Lake Huron, 2.2 million; International
Lakes, 1.0 million; and Lake Ontario, 194,000 pounds. Wisconsin, with 39.5 million pounds, led in volume of
landings followed by Michigan with 13.9 million; Ohio, 7.8 million; Minnesota, 4.0 million; New York, 512,800;
Pennsylvania, 333,600; Illinois, 264,300; and Indiana, 199,800 pounds. .
Fishermen and vessels. There were 1,080 commercial fishermen operating 194 vessels (5 net tons or more)
and 482 smaller craft in the U.S. commercial fisheries of the Great Lakes and International Lakes. Compared
with 1975 this was a decrease of 121 fishermen, 17 vessels, and 72 small craft.
Processed Products. The value of processed fishery products was $73.9 million, an increase of $4.3 million
Compared with 1975. Ohio accounted for 68 percent of the total with $50.6 million, followed by Illinois, $14.9
million; Wisconsin, $5.1 million; and Michigan, $1.9 million. New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota supplied
the remaining $1.4 million.The production of frozen products ($50.1 million) was 68 percent of the total value.
The 155 wholesaling and processing plants in the eight States employed 2,130 persons.
U.S. landings by lake.
Lake Ontario. The 1976 production of 193,900 pounds was 39,000 pounds lower than in 1975.
Landings of bullheads, eels, and white and yellow perch were 78 percent of the total production. Compared
with 1975, landings of bullheads declined 63 percent and yellow perch were down 13 percent, but landings of
eels increased 18 percent and white perch, 29 percent. The average price per pound for all species in 1976
was 47.2 cents compared with 42.4 cents in 1975.
Lake Erie. Commercial fishermen landed 9.1 million pounds valued at $2.7 million—increases of 7
percent in volume and 39 percent in value compared with 1975. Landings increased for sheepshead (up 21
percent), but declined slightly for carp, white bass, and yellow perch.
Commercial fishing for yellow pike (walleye) 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. Landings were 2.2 million pounds worth $771,171—increases of 301,900 pounds and
$141,506. Major species such as carp, catfish, suckers, whitefish, and yellow perch increased slightly in
landings.
Lake Michigan. Landings of 48.4 million pounds valued at $5.1 million increased 3.0 million pounds
and $492,949 compared with 1975. Alewife production accounted for 81 percent of the entire lake's landings.
Compared with 1975, landings increased for alewives, up 11 percent; smelt, up 86 percent and whitefish
(common), up 21 percent. Landings of carp declined 74 percent and chubs declined 54 percent compared with
1975. The average price per pound for all species was 10.5 cents per pound compared with 10.1 cents in 1975.
Prices were much higher in 1976 than 1975; alewives, a low-valued species used for animal food, is holding the
overall average price down. Chubs brought an average price per pound of a record $1.03 (up 10.0 cents);
whitefish (common) were 78.1 cents (up 4.4 cents); and yellow perch were a record 87.2 cents (up 23.7 cents).
The combined landings of chubs, whitefish (common), and yellow perch were only 11 percent of the total
harvest for the lake, but their combined value was 86 percent of the total value.
GREAT LAKES FISHERIES 201
Lake Superior. Landings were 5.9 million pounds valued at $1.8 million—increases of 1.1 million
pounds and $47,891 over 1975. Landings of smelt were a record 3.1 million pounds—a 126-percent increase
over 1975. Landings of most other species declined. Chubs (1.2 million pounds) declined 19 percent; lake
herring (447,000 pounds), 12 percent; and lake trout (315,700 pounds), declined 25 percent. Landings of lake
herring have been declining since 1941, and the 1976 catch was the lowest since the turn of the century. The
average price per pound for all species in 1976 was 31.3 cents; a 6.6 cents per pound decrease from 1975.
International lakes. In 1976, Lake of the Woods provided 94 percent of the total landings from
these waters (811,200 pounds). Burbot, suckers, tullibee, and yellow pike (walleye) constituted 85 percent of
the catch. The average price per pound was 29.0 cents compared to 19.9 cents in the Great Lakes.
Factors affecting the fisheries. In 1976, all eight of the Great Lakes States had extensive planting programs
That will result in a record or near-record release of some 26 million hatchery reared salmonids (trout and
salmon). The State of New York stopped sport and commercial fishing in Lake Ontario in the summer of
1976, because the fish are contaminated by Mirex, which is manufactured in the area. Formerly used to
control the fire ant, Mirex is now used as a fire retardant in clothing.
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. 7705. Additional data may also be
found in daily, monthly, and annual reports provided by the NMFS Market News Office in Chicago, Ill. These
data are published by the Market News Office in Boston, Mass.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER FISHERIES
Commercial landings of fish and shellfish from the waters of the Mississippi River-and tributeries were
70.7 million pounds valued at $14.4 million, decreases of 3 percent in volume and 4 percent in value from
1975. Landings decreased for several major species of fish and shellfish. Landings of buffalofish (21.0 million
pounds) decreased 10 percent; catfish and bullheads (10.9 million), 16 percent; shad (1.2 million), 21 percent;
sheepshead (5.2 million), 4 percent; and crawfish (5.8 million pounds), 13 percent. Landings of carp (18.7
million pounds) increased 22 percent and mussel shells (3.1 million pounds) increased 50 percent over 1975.
Buffalofish, carp, catfish and bullheads, shad, sheepshead, crawfish, and mussel shells accounted for 93
percent of the volume and 92 percent of the value. The landings were made by 11,713 fishermen, using 10,842
motorboats and 194 other boats. This was a decrease of 1,280 fishermen, 1,369 motorboats, and 88 other
boats compared with 1975.
Louisiana was the leading State in volume with 13.7 million pounds, followed by Wisconsin (10.7
million); Arkansas (6.4 million): Minnesota (6.0 million); and Tennessee (5.4 million pounds).
The value of processed products was $66.1 million—$4.8 million more than in 1975. Frozen packaged
fishery products valued at $38.4 million were 58 percent of the total value of processed items. There were
2,571 persons employed in 356 wholesaling and processing plants in 23 States in 1976.
Other information. This report contains summary tables on operating units and landings in the Mississippi
River Fisheries. Complete statistics by State on operating units, landings of catch by gear, and landings by
waters are on file in the Washington Office of the Resource Statistics Division.

for the season is based on the greatest number of employees working during the payroll period that included the 12th 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.

SECTION 10 - HAWAII FISHERIES 6
Commercial landings of fish and shellfish in the State of Hawaii were 14.8 million pounds worth $8.9
million—increases of 60 percent in volume and 41 percent in value over 1975. A sharp increase in landings of
skipjack tuna was the principal reason for the increase in volume. Landings of 9.8 million pounds were up 4.7
million pounds (95 percent) over 1975. Landings of bigeye, little, and yellowfin also increased, but landings of
albacore and bluefin declined.
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 11.0 million pounds. Hawaii was next with 2.0 million pounds, followed by Maui
with 1.4 million pounds. The rest of the landings were made at Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai.
Other information. Condensed summary data on landings in the State of Hawaii, by islands appearing in the
following pages have been published previously in Current Fishery Statistics No. 7707.
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.

stage of processing.
SECTION 11
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 179.0 million pounds valued at $53.0 million—down 2.1 million pounds from
the record volume in 1975, but up $6.2. million. Tuna landings were 97 percent of the total catch. Landings of
179.0 million pounds valued at a record $53.0 million declined 2 percent in volume, but increased 13 percent
in value compared with 1975. Yellowfin tuna predominated with landings of 108.4 million pounds, an increase
of 8.8 million pounds over 1975. Landings of yellowfin were 62 percent of the total tuna production.
Landings of skipjack tuna of 65.6 million pounds declined 11.1 million pounds and bluefin tuna, 308,000 pounds,
declined 398,000 pounds from 1975. :
Landings made by local fishermen, consisting largely of marine fish and shellfish, were 4.7 million
pounds worth $3.0 million—an increase of 17 percent in volume and 28 percent in value over 1975. Fish were
85 percent of the total local landings. At least 1,230 fishermen operated 902 boats in 1976. The number of
fishermen remained the same as in 1975, but there was an increase of 37 boats. The fishing gear consisted
principally of fish pots (57 percent), and hand and troll 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.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
In this Section, there are complete data on the commercial landings of certain major species of
fish end shellfish taken 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 COAST TUNA FISHERY, 1976
Landings of tuna along the Atlantic Coast of 4.1 million pounds valued at $1.7 million declined 17
percent in volume and 7 percent in value from 1975. Landings of bluefin tuna in Massachusetts (1.6 million
pounds) declined 25 percent and in New Jersey (1.2 million pounds) declined 52 percent. Massachusetts and
New Jersey together accounted for 69 percent of bluefin tuna landings in 1976. The Chesapeake States had
landings of bluefin tuna for the first time in many years. Landings were 1.1 million pounds in Maryland and
29,000 pounds in Virginia.
Purse seines took 67 percent of the harvest; lines, 22 percent; and harpoons, 11 percent. A negligible
amount was taken by haul seines, otter trawls, midwater trawls, and gill nets.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 345
PACIFIC TUNA FISHERY, 1976
Domestic landings of tuna at Pacific Coast and Hawaii ports were a record 486.5 million pounds valued
at $149.7 million—increases of 98.9 million pounds (26 percent) and $44.7 million (43 percent) over 1975.
Landings of all species of tuna increased except albacore. Landings of albacore tuna (41.1 million pounds)
declined 16 percent. Landings of bluefin tuna (18.8 million pounds) increased 15 percent; skipjack tuna (138.7
million pounds) increased 74 percent; and yellowfin tuna (284.7 million pounds) increased 18 percent.
Yellowfin tuna was 59 percent of the total tuna landings on the Pacific Coast. The Inter-American
Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) set an international quota for the yellowfin tuna fishery in the regulatory
area of the eastern Pacifie Ocean for 1976 of 175,000 short tons with allowances for the increments of 10,000
tons each should data from the fishery warrant such increases. In 1976 the season on yellowfin opened on
January 1. The quota was easily reached, and the season was closed March 27.
Purse seines, the principal gear used in taking yellowfin, skipjack, and bluefin accounted for 84 percent
of the landings. Hand and troll lines, used mainly in taking albacore, accounted for almost all the rest. Gill
nets and other unspecified gears took a negligible quantity.

ss REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES
U.S. MENHADEN FISHERY, 1976
Landings of Atlantic and Gulf menhaden were 2.0 billion pounds worth $67.2 million—inereases of 13
percent in volume and 36 percent in value over 1975. Ninety-seven percent of the production was used for
reduction into meal, oil, and solubles, and the remainder was used for bait or canned for pet food.
Menhaden landings in the Gulf States of 1.2 billion pounds increased 41.3 million pounds (3 percent) over
1975. Landings were the third largest on record in that area. Landings of Atlantic menhaden were 804.7
million pounds—up 198.0 million pounds (32 percent). The Gulf States accounted for 61 percent of the total
landings, followed by the Chesapeake States (22 percent); the Middle Atlantic States (7 percent); the South
Atlantie States (7 percent); and the New England States (3 percent).
Purse seines accounted for 98 percent of the landings in 1976. There were 2,052 fishermen, 133 vessels,
and 236 boats employed in the menhaden purse seine fishery.

U.S. CLAM FISHERY, 1976
U.S. landings of all species of clams in 1976 were 82.5 million pounds of meats valued at $64.3 million.
This was a decline of 27 percent in volume, but an increase of 48 percent in value compared with 1975. The
principal reason for the decline in harvest was a sharp decline in landings of surf clams. Most other species
showed slight increases in landings over 1975.
Surf clams, landed mainly in New Jersey, accounted for 60 percent of the U.S. production; hard clams,
18 percent; and soft clams, 13 percent. The rest consisted of cockle, geoduck, ocean quahog, razor, and
mixed clams. Landings of surf clams were 49.2 million pounds—down 57 pereent from 1975. This fishery was
centered off New Jersey because the Virginia grounds are becoming depleted. Landings in Virginia were 15.0
million pounds in 1976 compared with 40.2 million pounds in 1975. New Jersey landings of 30.1 million pounds
were down 7.2 million pounds from 1975.
The Middle Atlantic States were the major producers of clams with 52 percent of the eateh, followed
by the Chesapeake States with 29 percent; the New England States, 15 percent; the Pacifie Coast States, 3*
percent; and the South Atlantic States, 1 percent.
Dredges accounted for 72 percent of the U.S. landings of all species; followed by hoes, 10 percent;
rakes, 8 percent; tongs, 6 percent; and diving outfits, 2 percent. The rest were taken by otter trawls, shovels,
picks, and by hand.

U.S. CRAB FISHERY, 1976
Landings of crabs were 346.5 million pounds valued at $134.5 million, increases of 13 percent in volume
and 66 percent in value over 1975. All species of crabs increased in volume except for blue and green crabs.
Landings of hard blue crabs (115.4 million pounds) were 14 percent less than in 1975. The largest decline was in
the Chesapeake area where watermen and scientists blame the smaller landings on declining stands of eel
grass, which produce habitat and food for crabs. Dungeness crab landings of 34.4 million pounds increased 88
percent over 1975. California accounted for most of the increase with landings of 15.7 million pounds in 1976
compared with 3.9 million pounds in 1975. Landings in Oregon and Washington also increased significantly.
The Pacific Coast States led in volume with 222.4 million pounds (64 percent of the total), followed by
the Chesapeake States, 47.5 million pounds (14 percent); the Gulf States, 39.1 million pounds (11 percent); and
the South Atlantic States, 27.4 million pounds (8 percent). The rest were taken in the New England and Middle
Atlantic States, and Hawaii.
Fishermen took 325.2 million pounds (94 percent of the total) with pots; 7.5 million pounds (2 percent)
with dredges; and 7.2 million pounds (2 percent) with lines.

U.S. OYSTER FISHERY, 1976
The U.S. oyster fishery yielded 54.4 million pounds of oyster meats with a record $54.4 million—
increases of 2 percent in volume and 21 percent in value over 1975. Production declined in the New England
and Chesapeake States, but increased in all other oyster-producing areas. For the first time since 1968, the
Gulf States led in production with 21.6 million pounds (40 percent of the total.) The Chesapeake States was
next with 21.0 million pounds (39 percent of the total); followed by the Pacific Coast States with 6.4 million
pounds (12 percent); and the Middle Atlantic States, 3.6 million pounds (7 percent). The New England and
South Atlantic States accounted for the rest.
Dredges took 31.5 million pounds (58 percent) of the oyster landings, and tongs, 20.7 million pounds (38
percent). The rest were taken by rakes and 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.

U.S. SHRIMP FISHERY, 1976
Landings of shrimp at ports in the U.S. were a record 406.4 million pounds (heads-on) valued at a
record $331.0 million—increases of 17.percent in volume and 47 percent in value over 1975. Landings in the
South Atlantic States (26.1 million pounds) increased 5 percent, and the Gulf States (210.2 million pounds)
increased 24 percent. Landings in the Mississippi River area (11,000 pounds) and Hawaii (10,000 pounds) also
increased. Landings in New England were 2.3 million pounds in 1976 compared with 11.7 million pounds in
1975. Landings were the smallest since 1965 and 89 percent below the average for the previous 5 years.
The Gulf States accounted for 52 percent of the total landings; Pacific Coast States, 41 percent; and
the South Atlantic States, 6 percent. The remainder was landed in the New England and Chesapeake States,
the Mississippi River area, and Hawaii.
Landings of the U.S. shrimp otter trawl fleet were 97 percent of the total harvest. The otter trawl
fishery employed 22,607 fishermen on 5,377 vessels and 6,636 boats.

a 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--tThe 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 ofall sections ofthe 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 1933 to 1940, inclusive ., In the years from 1941to 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 packagéd fish surveys.
The chart on page 380 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 2a
and catch statistics were collected, but that no information was obtainedon 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--tThe 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 mollusks is carried on,
Statistics on the fisheries of the Great Lakes cover canyasses 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 301
Data on ovér 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, am 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 California. 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, RhodeIsland, 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.
ate 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; andthe 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 into "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 setlines 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 usesa skate as aunit inits studies of fishing intensity.
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 3
Beginning with 1962, only summary data have been shown onthe 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 gearengaged,
quantity and value of catch, and certain data on industries related tothe 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 far 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, 1898, 1901, 1904,
1910, and continuouslv since 1915. Data for the Potomac River shad fishery are available for
1896, 1901, 1904, 1909, 1915, 1919 to 1942, and 1944 to 1971, inclusive. Statistics on the
Potomac River alewife fishery are available for 1896, 1909, 1915, 1919 to 1942, and 1944 to 1971,
inclusive.
a STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery--—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 1956 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 1942-76, 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. Products--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 andarea 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 oil,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 385
Fish Sticks and Portions --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-Storage 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 Trade --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 Units--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 Absent--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--The term "fish" as used in this report includes all species belongingto the class
Pisces.
Shellfish et al.--A’shellfishis anaquatic 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 et al." Accordingly, turtles, frogs, sponges, seaweed, and worms are included under
this classification.
36 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, and 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 ina 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 the 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 reportedin 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 includedinthe following pages. The descriptive mater-
ial appearing with each species includes the areas in which commercial landings are
made inthe United States and does not constitute the extreme limits in which they occur.
Similarly, the gearlisted for each species do not represent the only types of apparatus
by whichthese species are obtained, butrepresent 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."
