1984-1985
In a renewed recognition of the importance of the world
ocean in American life, the period spanning 1984-1985 has been
designated as the "Year of the Ocean." During this period, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will
join a broad spectrum of ocean-oriented organizations in both the
public and private sectors in conducting activities across America
to focus attention on ocean affairs. The goal of these events is to
foster a better understanding of America's ocean heritage and the
importance of ocean resources in U.S. waters and celebrate the
boundless joys that the seas can provide.

PREFACE
FISHERIES OF THE UNITED ST A TES, 1983
This publication is a preliminary report for 1983 on
commercial fisheries of the United States and foreign
catches in the U.S. Fishery Conservation Zone (FCZ).
This annual report provides timely answers to frequently
asked questions for the previous year. All data in this
publication are consistent with the provisions of the
Federal Reports Act of 1942.
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA
Data on U.S. commercial landings, foreign catches,
employment, prices, and production of processed products
are preliminary for 1983. Final data will be published in
Fishery Statistics of the United States. Publication of
monthly and annual state landings bulletins has been
discontinued.
UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE
MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING
A section of this publication briefly describes the
background and results of Marine Recreational Fishery
Statistics Surveys. Data are presented on recreational
catch in number by species, and fishing trips by area for
1979-80 surveys on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts,
Western Pacific Islands, and Caribbean.
SOURCES OF DATA
Information in this report came from many sources.
Field offices of the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), in cooperation with various States, compiled and
collected data on U.S. commercial landings and processed
fishery products. The NMFS Field Offices compiled
data on the foreign catch from reports by designated
foreign officials. The NMFS National Fishery Statistics
Program in Washington, D.C., tabulated and prepared the
data for publication. Sources of other data appearing in
this publication are: U.S. Bureau of the Census, U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.
Customs Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, and the
countries fishing in the U.S. FCZ.
As in past issues of this publication, the units of
quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S. landings
and foreign catch are shown in round weight (mollusk
shells excluded) unless otherwise noted; quantities shown
for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight, as
reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, unless
otherwise noted; the value of the U.S. domestic catch is
exvessel (see Glossary); the value for U.S. imports is
generally the market value in the foreign (exporting)
country and, therefore, excludes U.S. import duties,
freight charges from the foreign country to the United
States, and insurance; the value for exports is generally the
value at the U.S. port of export, based on the selling price,
including inland freight, insurance, and other charges.

REVIEW
U.S. LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and
industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 States were
6.4 billion pounds valued at $2.4 billion in 1983— an increase
of 71.4 million pounds (I percent) in quantity, but a decrease
of $34.5 million in value compared with 1982. Increased
landings of American lobster and menhaden (both record
catches), clams, cods, flounders, salmon, and tuna helped
offset the declines in other major species such as anchovies,
rockfishes, sea herring, shrimp, and squid. The average
exvessel price per pound paid to fishermen decreased by
only I cent in 1983 from the 38 cents they received in 1982.
Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports
outside the 50 States or transferred in the U.S. fishery
conservation zone (FCZ) onto foreign vessels (joint ventures)
were an additional 1.3 billion pounds valued at $231.0
million. This was an increase of 524.4 million pounds (69
percent) in quantity and $55.2 million (31 percent) in value
compared with 1 982. Most of these landings consisted of
tuna landed at canneries in Puerto Rico and joint venture
catches.
Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 States
were 3.2 billion pounds in 1983— down I percent compared
with 1982. Landings of cods, flounders, salmon, and tuna
increased, but there were declines in crabs, ocean perch,
oysters, and shrimp. In 1983, domestic production was 38
percent and imports 62 percent of the total U.S. edible
supply.
Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes
were 3.2 billion pounds in 1983— an increase of 4 percent
compared with 1982. The increase is attributed to a record
catch of menhaden, the dominant industrial fish.
JOINT VENTURE CATCH IN THE U.S. FCZ. Joint venture
catches by U.S. fishermen unloaded onto foreign vessels
were 958.9 million pounds valued at $51.2 million. This
represents a substantial increase over 1982, when 561.4
million pounds were caught, valued at $36.4 million. The
major species were cods, flounders, and Alaska pollock.
Joint venture catches of trawl fish off Alaska more
than doubled for the fifth year in a row. This is a clear
indication of the success of the Magnuson Act "Fish and
Chips" policy (see glossary) and the ability of U.S. fishermen
to replace the catching power of the foreign fleets.
FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. The foreign catch of fish
(excluding tunas) and shellfish in the U.S. FCZ was just over
1.3 million metric tons (2.9 billion pounds) in 1983, 7 percent
less than in 1982 and 19 percent below the average for the
preceding 5 years. As in other years, the U.S. FCZ off
Alaska supplied the largest share of the foreign catch (97
percent) followed by the North Atlantic (3 percent). A very
small amount was harvested off Hawaii and the Pacific
Islands. There was no foreign fishing off California, Oregon,
and Washington in 1983.
Alaska pollock comprised 74 percent of the foreign
catch; Pacific flounders, 13 percent; Pacific cod, 5 percent;
and other fish and shellfish the remainder.
Japan continued as the leading nation fishing in the
U.S. FCZ with a catch of 970.9 thousand metric tons, 74
percent of the total foreign catch. Catches by vessels of
the Republic of Korea, the second leading nation fishing in
the U.S. FCZ, were 279.7 thousand metric tons representing
21 percent of the catch in 1983.
The foreign catch in the Pacific U.S. FCZ in 1983
was just under 1.3 million metric tons, 75.9 thousand metric
tons less than 1 982. Over 88 percent of this catch was made
in the Eastern Bering Sea, 1 1 percent in the Gulf of Alaska,'
and the remaining fraction of I percent was taken off
Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. Alaska pollock, 973,000
metric tons (76 percent of the total), was the leading
species followed by Pacific flounders, 175,400 metric tons
(14 percent), and Pacific cod, 71,400 metric tons (6
percent). Japan and the Republic of Korea were the major
countries fishing this area in 1983 taking 98 percent of the
total catch.
Foreign catches in the North Atlantic U.S. FCZ in
1983' were 40,900 metric tons, 26,600 metric tons (39
percent) less than the 1982 catch when 67,500 metric tons
were taken. Canada continued as the leading country with
23,200 metric tons (57 percent); Italy, second with 9,200
metric tons (22 percent), and Spain, third with 4,600 metric
tons (I I percent). Squid catches amounted to 13,600 metric
tons (33 percent). Other species of significance were
Atlantic cod, 12,100 metric tons (30 percent); Atlantic
pollock, 3,300 metric (8 percent); haddock, 3,200 metric (8
percent); and sea scallops (meats), 2,700 metric tons (7
percent).
U.S. VS. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. The combined
catch by U.S. and foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ was 2.5
million metric tons in 1983— down only two-tenths of a
percent compared with 1 982. The U.S. share rose to 47
percent of the total, up from 43 percent in 1 982.
WORLD LANDINGS. In 1982, the most recent year for
which data are available, world commercial fishery landings
were a record 76.8 million metric tons— an increase of 1.7
million metric tons (2 percent) compared with 1981. Japan
continued to be the leading nation with 14 percent of the
total catch; the USSR, second with 13 percent; China, third
with 6 percent; followed by the United States and Chile,
both with approximately 5 percent.
PRICES. During 1983, the Index of Exvessel Prices for Fish
and Shellfish was 478.5. The index (1967=100) for edible fish
was 490.5— an increase of 4 percent compared with 1982.
The index for industrial fish was 318.2 for 1983— an increase
of 5 percent compared with 1982. The edible shellfish index
increased from 549.6 in 1982 to 600.9— an increase of 9
percent.
PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The value of the domestic pro-
duction of edible and nonedible fishery products was $4.7
billion, $211.6 million more than the $4.5 billion in 1982.
The value of edible products was $4.3 million— an increase
of $187.1 million (5 percent) compared with 1982. The value
of industrial products was $391.5 million in 1983— an
increase of $24.5 million (7 percent) compared with 1982.

REVIEW
FOREIGN TRADE. Total import value of edible and non-
edible fishery products was a record $5.1 billion in 1983— an
increase of $605.8 million (13 percent) compared with
1982. U.S. imports of edible fishery products were nearly
2.4 billion pounds (product weight) valued at a record $3.6
billion in 1983— an increase of 161.7 million pounds (7
percent) in quantity and $424.3 million (13 percent) in value
compared with 1982. U.S. imports of nonedible (industrial)
products also set a value record in 1983 when products
valued at $1.5 billion were imported— an increase of 14
percent compared with 1982.
Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery
products of domestic origin was $1.0 billion in 1983— a
decrease of $50.2 million (5 percent) compared with 1982
when exports were $1.1 billion. United States firms
exported 601.9 million pounds of edible products valued at
$907.7 million— a decrease of 55.3 million pounds (8 percent)
in quantity and $91.2 million (9 percent) in value compared
with 1982. Exports of nonedible products were valued at
$101.1 million, $41.0 million (68 percent) more than the
1982 exports. The $51.2 million received for U.S.-flag
vessel catches transferred onto foreign vessels in the U.S.
FCZ in joint venture operations are not included in the
export statistics.
SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent)
was a record 8.4 billion pounds in 1983— an increase of 445.0
million pounds (5 percent) compared with the previous
record supply in 1 982. The change reflects a decrease of I
percent in domestic commercial landings, but an increase of
I I percent in imports. The supply of industrial fishery
products was 4.0 billion pounds in 1983— a decrease of 104.0
million pounds (31 percent) compared with 1982. Domestic
commercial landings for industrial products of 3.2 billion
pounds set a new record— I 19 million pounds more than the
previous record of 3.1 billion pounds set in 1982.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of fishery
products was 12.9 pounds of edible meat per person in 1983,
up 0.6 pound from 1 982.
OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS
Menhaden landings in 1983 of 3.0 billion pounds (1.3
million metric tons) set a record and accounted for 46
percent of the commercial fishery landings in the United
States. Menhaden was seventh in value.

States were shrimp, landed in Central and South American
ports, and Pacific groundfish, squid, etc., transferred onto
foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ.
Cameron, Louisiana, was the leading U.S. port in
quantity of commercial fishery landings, followed by
Pascagoula-Moss Point, Mississippi; Empire-Venice and

REVIEW
IMPORTANT SPECIES
ALASKA POLLOCK AND OTHER PACIFIC TRAWL FISH.
U.S. landings of Pacific trawl fish (Pacific cod, flounders,
hake (Pacific whiting), Pacific ocean perch, Alaska pollock,
and rockfishes) were 301.0 million pounds valued at $61.2
million— an increase of only I percent in quantity, but a
decrease of 5 percent in value compared with 1982.
Landings of Alaska pollock decreased 7 percent, but
increased for Pacific cod (54 percent) and hake (12
percent). The average exvessel price per pound for Pacific
cod dropped 10 cents (36 percent) while the price for hake
remained at 4 cents, the same as 1982.
ANCHOVIES. U.S. landings of anchovies were 22.3 million
pounds— a dramatic decrease of 81.0 million pounds (78
percent) compared with 1982. The most significant decline
occurred in the reduction fishery for meal, oil, and solubles
with only 6.3 million pounds landed— down 93 percent com-
pared with the previous year. These are the lowest landings
since reduction permits were issued in 1965. The remaining
landings of 16.0 million pounds were mainly used for bait-
no anchovies were canned in 1983. Factors contributing to
the lower landings were the climatic effects of El Nino (see
glossary) on availability, and stiff competition from
substitutes in the reduction product market.
HALIBUT. U.S. landings of Atlantic and Pacific halibut
were 45.2 million pounds (round weight) valued at $40.7
million— an increase of 1 1.9 million pounds (36 percent) and
$12.1 million (42 percent) compared with 1982. The Pacific
fishery accounted for 99 percent of the 1 983 total catch.
The average exvessel price per pound in 1983 was 90 cents
compared with 86 cents in 1982. Reduced abundance and
high fishing effort continue to plague management of
Pacific halibut. In many areas, quotas were quickly
surpassed in a period of days or weeks.
HERRING. SEA. U.S. commercial landings of sea herring
were 180.5 million pounds valued at $44.0 million— a
decrease of 21.8 million pounds (I I percent) in quantity, but
an increase of $8.6 million (24 percent) in value compared
with 1982. Landings of Atlantic sea herring declined for the
second year in a row to 51.3 million pounds valued at $2.7
million— a decrease of 21.7 million pounds (30 percent) in
quantity and $1.0 million (27 percent) in value compared
with 1982. Fixed gear fisheries, such as weirs and stop
seines along the Maine coast, generally account for over
half the landings. However, in 1982-83 mobile gear (purse
seines and pair trawls) dominated. Availability and reduced
export demand may be contributing to the decline in
landings. The NMFS scientists at the Northeast Fisheries
Center (NEFC) report that abundance indices have shown
only two average or above average year classes since 1976.
Marked improvement in abundance is not expected in 1984,
although export markets could stimulate enough fishing
effort to drive landings upward. The average exvessel price
in the Atlantic remained unchanged at about 5 cents per
pound.
Landings of Pacific sea herring were virtually
unchanged at 129.2 million pounds valued at $41.2 million— a
decrease of 88,000 pounds (less than I percent) in quantity,
but an increase of $9.6 million (30 percent) in value
compared with 1982. The 1983 Alaska landings of 109.6
million pounds were the largest since statehood. The
average exvessel price per pound of Pacific sea herring was
32 cents in I 983 compared with 24 cents in I 982.
JACK MACKEREL. Landings of jack mackerel in California
1983 to 39.6 million pounds valued at $3.4
in
declined in
million— a decrease of 18.2 million pounds (32 percent)
quantity and $1.9 million (35 percent) in value compared
with 1982. This is in sharp contrast to last year's modest
increase in landings and value, but only 16 percent below the
5-year average. The average exvessel price per pound of 9
cents in 1 983 was the same as in I 982.
MACKEREL, ATLANTIC. U.S. landings of Atlantic
mackerel were 6.4 million pounds valued at $1.3 million— a
decrease of 1.0 million pounds (14 percent) in quantity, but
an increase of $252,000 (23 percent) in value compared with
1982. New Jersey was the leading State for the third year
in a row with 2.2 million pounds (34 percent of the total
catch), followed by Massachusetts, 1.6 million (26 percent),
and Rhode Island, 1.5 million pounds (24 percent). The
average exvessel price per pound in 1983 was 21 cents,
compared with 15 cents in 1982. The decrease in landings
was due to factors other than abundance, since spawning
stock size has been increasing over the last several years
according to NEFC scientists.
MACKEREL, PACIFIC. Landings of Pacific mackerel,
managed under a State quota, were 72.9 million pounds
valued at $6.3 million— an increase of 10.8 million pounds
(17 percent) in quantity and $608,000 (II percent) in value
compared with 1982. The 1983 average exvessel price per
pound of 9 cents was the same as the previous 2 years.
MENHADEN. The U.S. had a record catch of menhaden
with landings of 3.0 billion pounds valued at a record $1 19.3
million— an increase of 196.8 million pounds (7 percent) in
quantity and $11.6 million (II percent) in value compared
with 1982. Landings increased by 44.1 million pounds (5
percent) in the Atlantic States and by 152.7 million pounds
(8 percent) in the Gulf States compared with 1982.
Menhaden are used primarily for the production of meal, oil,
and solubles. Small quantities are used for bait and canned
pet food.
Landings along the Atlantic coast were 926.7 million
pounds valued at $36.9 million. These were the largest
landings since 1962, with much greater landings in the fall
fishery than in recent years. Although spawning stock sizes
have improved somewhat since the population crashed in the
early 1 960's, the magnitude and distribution of current
fishing effort will likely prevent short term landings from
reaching much higher levels than at present according to
VI T
REVIEW
IMPORTANT SPECIES
NMFS scientists. Gulf region landings were 2.0 billion
pounds valued at $82.4 million. This catch slightly exceeds
last year's record landings of 1.9 billion pounds. Monthly
landings were similar to recent years, except after June
when landings were better than average. While recent
landings are setting records, NMFS Southeast Fisheries
Center scientists believe the fishery cannot sustain these
levels of harvest, and landings will eventually be reduced.
NORTH ATLANTIC TRAWL FISH. North Atlantic landings
of butterfish, Atlantic cod, cusk, flounders, haddock, red
and white hake, Atlantic ocean perch, pollock, and whiting
(silver hake) were 426.0 million pounds valued at $177.9
million— a decrease of 4.9 million pounds (I percent) in
quantity, but on increase of $5.0 million (3 percent) in value
compared with 1982. Of these species, flounders led in
value, accounting for 55 percent of the total; followed by
cod, 21 percent; and haddock, 1 1 percent.
Landings of Atlantic cod, which have been managed
under a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) since 1977,
increased from 56.0 million pounds in 1976 to I 12.5 million
pounds in 1983. Scientists from the NEFC expect landings
to remain high over the next several years due to above
average recruitment. Yellowtail flounder have also been
managed under an FMP since 1977. Landings during the
1960's ranged from 58.0 to 83.0 million pounds, but by 1976
were only 38.0 million pounds. This species has been slow to
recover from apparent overfishing. The 1983 landings of
72.9 million pounds were due partly to improved
recruitment. However, high discards of undersized fish and
the strong dependence of the fishery on two year classes for
90 percent of the landings temper optimism for long term
stock recovery. Haddock, managed under the same FMP as
cod and yellowtail, declined in landings and value in 1983.
Landings declined to 32.6 million pounds (down 27 percent)
and value dropped to $19.0 million (down 15 percent). Poor
recruitment in recent years indicates no improvement in
haddock landings can be expected before 1986 according to
NMFS scientists.
PACIFIC SALMON. U.S. commercial landings of salmon
were 639.3 million pounds valued at $350.8 million— an
increase of 31.9 million pounds (5 percent) in quantity, but a
decrease of $41.2 million (II percent) in value compared
with 1982. Overall, all species decreased in 1983 except for
red salmon which had a significant increase of 55 percent
over 1982. Alaska accounted for 95 percent of the total
landings; Washington, 4 percent; and Oregon and California
the remaining I percent. Landings of 2,000 pounds of silver
salmon were taken from the Great Lakes.
Alaska landings were 608.7 million pounds valued at
$325.0 million— an increase of 65.8 million pounds (12
percent) in quantity and $19.6 million (6 percent) in value
compared with 1982. The 1983 harvest was the third largest
in history. Red salmon had record landings of 307.9 million
pounds valued at $214.6 million— an increase of 126.1 million
pounds (69 percent) in quantity and $58.8 million (38

showed increased landings with 17.3 million pounds— up 1.0
million pounds (6 percent) over 1982. Pink salmon landings
of 185.7 million pounds in 1983 decreased by 35.7 million
pounds (16 percent); chum salmon, 74.2 million pounds,
decreased 6.2 million pounds (8 percent); and silver salmon,
23.6 million pounds, decreased 19.4 million pounds (45
percent) compared with 1982. The exvessel price per pound
for all species in Alaska was 53 cents in 1983 compared with
56 cents in 1982.

valued at $18.2 million—a decrease of 22.4 million pounds
(47 percent) in quantity and. $31.9 million (64 percent) in
value compared with 1982. The biennial fishery for pink
salmon, the only species to show an increase, went from
3,000 pounds in 1982 to 8.4 million pounds in 1983.
However, the 1983 catch was less than half the 1981 pink
salmon landings of 19.9 million pounds. Landings of red
salmon showed the largest decrease with 2.3 million pounds-
-down 16.1 million pounds (88 percent) compared with
1982. Landings of silver salmon decreased to 5.5 million
pounds (52 percent); followed by chum, 5.7 million (down 51
percent); and chinook, 3.7 million pounds (down 44 percent)
compared with 1 982. The average exvessel price per pound
for all species in Washington went from $1.04 in 1982 down
to 7 1 cents in 1983.
Oregon salmon landings were 2.6 million pounds
valued at $3.0 million— a decrease of 6.0 million pounds (70
percent) in quantity and $13.7 million (82 percent) in value
compared with 1982. Red salmon was the only species to
show an increase, with 3,000 pounds landed compared with
1,000 pounds in 1982. Landings of chinook salmon were 1.3
million pounds (down 71 percent); silver, 1.3 million (down
69 percent); and chum, 1,000 pounds (down 93 percent)
compared with 1982. The average exvessel price per pound
for all species in Oregon went from $1.95 in 1982 down to
$1.15 in 1983.
California salmon landings decreased from 7.9 million
pounds valued at $19.8 million in 1982 to 2.4 million pounds
(70 percent) in quantity and $4.7 million (76 percent) in
1983. Chinook salmon landings in 1983 were 2.1 million
pounds (down 71 percent) valued at $4.4 million (down 77
percent) compared with 7.4 million pounds and $19.0 million
in 1982. Landings of silver salmon also declined with
landings of 266,000 pounds (down 51 percent) in quantity and
$327,000 (down 59 percent) in value compared with 545,000
pounds and $790,000 in 1982. The average exvessel price
per pound paid to fishermen for all species in 1983 was $1.95
compared with $2.50 in 1982.
The effects of El Nino (see glossary) were evident in
the salmon fisheries in Washington, Oregon, and California.
Although the low coho catch in Washington was due in large
measure to severe gear and area restrictions, changes in
food supply and seawater temperature caused by El Nino had
on adverse impact on juvenile and adult survival rates and
migratory routes. One of the more disturbing factors of the
I 983 season was the reduced size of the average fish to well
below the 5-year average. Small size and increased

SABLEFISH. U.S. commercial landings of sablefish were
40.2 million pounds valued at $11.6 million—a decrease of
6.8 million pounds (14 percent) in quantity, and $2.6 million
(18 percent) in value compared with 1982. The 1983
landings were still 15 percent higher than the 5-year
average of 35.0 million pounds. Landings in 1983 decreased
in Oregon to 10.3 million pounds (down 7 percent);
Washington, 7.8 million pounds (down 15 percent); and
California, 14.3 million pounds (down 31 percent). Landings

1983 compared with 57 cents in 1982.
Bluefin landings were 4.4 million pounds— a decrease
of 2.1 million pounds (33 percent) compared with 1982. The
average exvessel price per pound increased 344 percent to
$2.00 compared with 45 cents in 1982. The change in
average price was strongly influenced by the increased
percentage contribution of east coast bluefin landings to the
total. Large east coast bluefin used for sushi commanded
prices of $2.00-5.50 per pound exvessel.
Almost 48 percent of the tuna landings were at ports
in the continental United States (principally California with
86 percent of the continental landings).
CLAMS. Landings of all species yielded 115.4 million

million (down 88 percent) in value in 1983. The average
exvessel price per pound was $2.65 in 1983, a substantial
decrease from $2.98 in 1982.
The cause for the dramatic decline of king crabs in
1983 is unknown. Research by NMFS Northwest and Alaska
Fisheries Center scientists suggest a combination of factors
are responsible for the historically wide fluctuation in
abundance and current low level. These factors include:
overfishing, reproductive failure and subsequently poor
recruitment, high predation levels, disease, and perhaps
environmental variations in temperature and wind
patterns. While no one factor is sufficient to explain the
decline, the consensus is these elements have had a severe
combined effect on population size. Biological evidence
suggests that recovery of king crab stocks is unlikely before
the end of the decade.

1983 was $5.45 compared with $3.66 in 1982
According to NEFC scientists, the sea scallop
populations on Georges Bank and off the Mid-Atlantic States
have declined to the lowest level since 1975. Current
estimates place these populations at one-third the levels
observed during 1975-79. The strong 1979 year class in the
Great South Channel region of Georges Bank, which had
been counted on to sustain the fishery, has been depleted
faster than anticipated. No recovery of the scallop fishery
is expected until 1986 at the earliest because recent year
classes have been weak. Current management regulations
designed to rebuild stocks prohibit the landing of sea
scallops in numbers greater than 35 meats to the pound.
Landings of calico scallops were 9.6 million pounds of
meats valued at $12.0 million—a decrease of 1.4 million
pounds (13 percent) in quantity, but an increase of $703,000

SQUID. U.S. commercial landings of squid were 37.9 million
pounds valued at $10.9 million— a decrease of 15.5 million
pounds (29 percent), but an increase of $2.9 million (35

producer with 12.8 million pounds, 34 percent of the
national total. The Atlantic coast led the production of
squid, setting a new record with 33.5 million pounds
compared with 17.4 million pounds in 1982 (up 93 percent).
Landings in the New England region were a record 19.3
million (up 225 percent), followed by record Chesapeake
landings of 6.1 million pounds (up 88 percent); and a slight
decrease (I percent) in the Middle Atlantic region to 7.8
million pounds. This increase on the Atlantic coast was
helped by a strong export market during 1983. Scientists
from the NEFC report research vessel abundance indices for
Atlantic Loligo indicate good yields can be expectea in 1 984
if fishing effort remains similar to 1983. This is contrasted
by the low abundance index for Atlantic 1 1 lex, which
indicates its current abundance is significantly reduced from
recent high levels.
The Pacific coast, the major producer of squid in
1982, produced only 4.4 million pounds (down 88 percent) in
1983. California produced 4.0 million pounds (down 89
percent) of this total compared with 35.8 million pounds in
1982. The drastic change in landings on the Pacific coast
was partially due to the climatic effects of El Nino (see
glossary). One hypothesis by NMFS scientists suggests that
squid larvae were dispersed too far north by currents
associated with the El Nino warming trend. The average
exvessel price per pound for squid went from 15 cents in
1982 to 29 cents in 1983.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. per capita consumption
of fish and shellfish was 12.9 pounds (edible meat) in 1983.
This total was 0.6 pound more than the 12.3 pounds
consumed per capita in 1982. This change was due to
increased consumption in both the fresh and frozen products
and canned products.
Per capita consumption of all fresh and frozen
products registered a total of 8.0 pounds, up 0.3 pound from
the 1982 total. Fresh and frozen fish consumption, which
reached 5.2 pounds per capita in 1983, registered a slight
increase due to record consumption of fillets and steaks
(2.86 pounds per capita). Similarly, fresh and frozen
shellfish consumption rose 0.2 pound per capita to 2.8
pounds in 1983. Record shrimp consumption (1.71 pounds
per capita) accounted for most of this increase.
Consumption of canned fishery products was 4.6
pounds per capita in 1983, up 0.3 pound from 4.3 pounds in
1982. This rise came on the strength of the increase in
canned tuna consumption, which registered 3.0 pounds per
capita in 1983 compared to 2.7 pounds in 1982.
Consumption of canned shellfish also rose slightly,
offsetting a decline for canned sardines. Consumption of
cured products remained steady at 0.3 pound per capita*
Per capita data have been revised back to 1970 to
reflect the results of the 1980 census.
In addition to consumption of commercially caught
fish and shellfish, recreational fishermen catch and consume
an estimated 3 to 4 pounds of edible meat per person.

breaded cooked, 18.7 million pounds; breaded raw, 6.7
million; and unbreaded, 5.3 million pounds.
BREADED SHRIMP. The 29 plants reporting production on
a quarterly basis during 1983 produced 98.4 million pounds
valued at $381.0 million, while the 35 plants reporting

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS
CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The pack of canned
fishery products in the 50 States, American Samoa, and
Puerto Rico was 48.4 million standard cases (1.4 billion
pounds) valued at $1.5 billion— an increase of 2.1 million
standard cases (56.7 million pounds) and $35.8 million
compared with the 1982 pack. The 1983 pack included 40.1
million standard cases (953.5 million pounds) valued at $1.4
billion for human consumption, and 8.3 million standard
cases (397.5 million pounds) valued at $139.2 million for bait
and animal food. The packs of clams and clam products,
herring specialties, mackerel, oysters, salmon, shrimp, and
tuna increased in 1983, but the remaining packs of fish,
shellfish, and animal food declined.
CANNED SALMON.
~3X
The U.S. pack of natural Pacific
I lion standard cases, (174.8 million
salmon was J. 6 mi
pounds) valued at $325.5 million, compared with 2.5 million
standard cases (120.3 million pounds) valued at $199.0
million packed a year earlier. Alaskan plants accounted for
99 percent in quantity and value of the salmon pack.
Alaskan salmon fishermen landed a record 127 million fish in
1983, surpassing a record that stood for almost half a
century. In 1983 less than half the salmon landed in Alaska
were canned, but in 1936, the previous record year, nearly
98 percent of the landings were canned. Prices were
generally lower in 1983 compared with 1982.
CANNED SARDINES. The pack of Maine sardines (sea
herring) was 560,300 standard cases valued at $21.9 million,
declines of 209,100 standard cases and $6.5 million
compared with 1982. An additional 163,800 standard cases
of herring valued at $13.1 million were packed in 1983—
44,400 standard cases and $3.8 million more than the 1982
pack.
CANNED TUNA. The U.S. pack of tuna was 28.4 million
standard cases (561.1 million pounds) valued at $821.4
million— an increase of 1.3 million standard cases (22.6
million pounds) in quantity, but a decrease of $97.1 million
compared with the 1982 pack. The pack of albacore tuna
was 5.1 million standard cases— 9 1 5,000 standard cases less
than the 6.0 million standard cases produced in 1982.
Albacore tuna was 18 percent of the tuna pack in 1983.
Lightmeat tuna (bigeye, bluefin, skipjack, and yellowfin)
comprised the remainder with a pack of 23.3 million
standard cases— 2.2 million standard cases more than the
21.1 million standard cases packed in 1982. Plants in the
United States packed 35 percent of the total and plants in
American Samoa, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico packed the
remainder. About 35 percent of the total U.S. supply of
canned tuna was packed from U.S.-caught fish, and 47
percent from imported fish. Imports of canned tuna made
up the remaining 18 percent.
CANNED CLAMS. The U.S. pack of clams (whole, minced,
chowder, and juice) was 3.9 million standard cases valued at
$80.6 million — 30,100 standard cases more in quantity, but
$4.6 million less in value than the pack in 1982. The pack of
whole and minced clams of 1.3 million standard cases
(197,200 standard cases more than the 1982 pack) accounted
for 33 percent of the total clam pack. Clam chowder and
clam juice (2.6 million standard cases) made up the
remaining pack.
CANNED SHRIMP. The U.S. pack of natural shrimp was 1.4
million standard cases valued at $54.5 million— increases of
178,000 standard cases and $9.5 million compared with the
1982 pack. Plants in Louisiana and Mississippi packed
937,000 standard cases, about 232,000 standard cases more
than the previous year. The pack produced in the Pacific
coast region decreased from 471,000 standard cases in 1982
to 417,000 standard cases in 1983.
OTHER CANNED ITEMS. The U.S. pack of mackerel was
1.0 million standard cases valued at $16.5 million—an
increase of 153,500 standard cases and $1.6 million
compared to the previous year. The pack of tunalike fish
(bonito) was packed by less than three firms in 1983. The
natural pack of oysters continued to increase with 137,800
standard cases valued at $2.3 million produced in 1983
compared to 116,200 standard cases valued at $2.2 million
packed in 1982. The pack of pet food (10 pounds or more of
fish per standard case of 48 one-pound cans) was 8.3 million
standard cases valued at $135.8 million— a decrease of
204,100 standard cases, but an increase of $5.8 million
compared with the pack in 1982. Squid was not packed by
west coast plants in 1983.

(consisting mainly of alewives, carp, sea herring, and
unclassified fish) was 15,500 short tons— a decrease of 3,400
short tons (18 percent) compared with 1982.
FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles was
158,500 short tons, 6,000 short tons more than the 1982
production. Menhaden solubles amounted to 127,000 short
tons and accounted for 80 percent of the total production.
FISH OILS. The domestic production of fish oils was a
record 399.3 million pounds valued at $66.8 million— an
increase of 51.8 million pounds (15 percent) and $13.3
million (25 percent) over the 1982 production. The record
was attributed to the production of 385.8 million pounds of
menhaden oil valued at $64.3 million— an increase of 47.7
million pounds (14 percent) and $12.1 million (23 percent)
over 1982 levels. Menhaden oil accounted for 97 percent of
the volume and 96 percent of the value of the total 1983
fish oil production.
Production of tuna and mackerel oil decreased by
550,000 pounds, while unclassified oil production increased
by 6.1 million pounds. The 1983 anchovy oil production is
included with unclassified oil for reasons of confidentiality.
OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. Oyster shell products,
together with agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells
processed for food serving, fish pellets, Irish moss extracts,
kelp products, dry and liquid fertilizers, pearl essence, shark
leathers, and mussel shell buttons were valued at $39.6
million, compared with $41.5 million in 1982— a decrease of
$1 .9 million (5 percent).
FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS
IMPORTS. U.S. imports of edible fishery products in 1983
were valued at a record $3.6 billion, $424.3 million higher
than the previous record established in 1982. The quantity
of edible imports reached nearly 2.4 billion pounds, 161.7
million pounds more than 1982 imports, but 29.4 million
pounds less than the record quantity imported in 1973. The
increase in value for edible imports was due mainly to
higher prices for nearly all imported species. The value of
shrimp products reached $1.2 billion and was 34 percent of
the total value of edible imports. Imports of fresh and
frozen tuna in 1983 continued to decline, decreasing 53.4
million pounds from 1982 levels. However, canned tuna
imports increased 34.8 million pounds over the same
period. Imports of regular and minced blocks were 384.5
million pounds, 65.5 million pounds more than the previous
year, but 23.7 million pounds less than the record 408.2
million pounds imported in 1979. Edible imports consisted
of 2.1 billion pounds of fresh and frozen frozen products
valued at $3.2 billion, 257.6 million pounds of canned
products valued at $330.4 million, 66.6 million pounds of
cured products valued $68.9 million, and I I.I million pounds
of other products valued at $15.5 million.
Imports of nonedible fishery products were valued at
a record $1.5 billion — $181.5 million more than the $1.3
billion import value one year earlier. Total value of edible
and nonedible products resulted in a record import value of
$5.1 billion in 1983 — $605.8 million more than the previous
record in 1982, when $4.5 billion of fish products were
imported.
EXPORTS. U.S. exports of edible fishery products of
domestic origin were 601.9 million pounds valued at $907.7
million, compared with the 657.2 million pounds valued at
$998.9 million exported in 1982. Fresh and frozen items
were 486.0 million pounds valued at $675.6 million, and
consisted principally of 237.2 million pounds of whole and
eviscerated salmon, and 99.6 million pounds of herring.
Canned items were 70.6 million pounds valued at $119.5
million, with 54.5 million pounds of canned salmon valued at
$97.0 million accounting for most of the volume and value.
Cured items were 44.3 million pounds valued at $111.3
million, with salmon and herring roe accounting for most of
the volume and value. Other items amounted to I.I million
pounds valued at $1.2 million.
Exports of nonedible products were valued at $101.0
million — $41.0 million more than the $60.0 million exported
in 1982, and only $795,000 less than the record nonedible
export value in 1980. Larger exports of fish meal and oil,
particularly menhaden, resulted in the near record 1983
value of nonedible exports. Exports of menhaden oil
amounted to a record 398.7 million pounds valued at $58.1
million, and accounted for 58 percent of the total value of
nonedible exports. The total value of edible and nonedible
exports was $1.0 billion — a decrease of $50.2 million
compared with 1982.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES
13
GENERAL. The total number of U.S. marine recreational
fishermen is estimated at 17 million. These fishermen
caught an estimated 700 million pounds of finfish in 1980 on
approximately 90 million fishing trips. Excluding catches of
freshwater fish and industrial species (such as anchovies and
menhaden), the recreational catch comprised an estimated
30 percent of the total U.S. finfish landings in 1980. Based
on input - output analyses, the total 1980 economic impact
of marine recreational fishing was an estimated $7.5 billion.
DATA COLLECTION. Detailed statistical information on
marine recreational fishing is reguired to support the
objectives of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act of 1976 (PL 94-265). The Act requires the
preparation of fishery management plans to promote
domestic recreational and commercial fisheries, utilizing
the best available biological, economic, and sociological
information. Although reliable data on commercial fisheries
have been collected for many years, the lack of a continuous
or systematic collection of marine recreational fishery data
resulted in inadequate data bases.
In 1979, NMFS began fielding a new series of marine
recreational fishery statistics surveys. The chosen survey
design was based on experiences with previous designs that
eventually proved to be inadequate, and an extensive set of
methodological studies conducted from 1976 to 1978. The
selected design uses an intercept survey of fishermen in the
field and an independent telephone survey of households.
Each component survey provides certain information that
are combined to produce estimates of recreational catch,
fishing effort and participation. Estimates are generated by
subregion or State, species, and mode and area of fishing.
Surveys using this methodology were conducted in the
following areas and years:
Atlantic and Gulf, 1979 through 1983
Pacific, mid- 1 979 through 1983
Western Pacific, 1979 through 1981
Caribbean 1979, 1981
The survey is being conducted in 1984 along the Atlantic,
Gulf and Pacific coasts.
In 1981 a special marine recreational socioeconomic
survey was conducted in coordination with the catch/effort
surveys previously described. Detailed responses were
obtained to questions on expenditures, motivations for
fishing, satisfaction levels, angler demographics, and income
levels.
RESULTS. The following 1979-1980 data and tables are
excerpted from complete reports prepared for each survey
area and year. Some tables may not add due to rounding.
The catch data show the total number of fish caught
for the top twenty species groups in each survey area. Total
number caught includes those fish brought ashore in whole
form which were available for identification, weighing, and
measuring as well as those not available for identification.
This latter category includes those fish used for bait,
discarded, released alive, filleted, etc. Each species group
may contain one or more species, genera, or families.
Several tables show the distribution of total catch by
fishing mode and/or fishing area by subregion. The four
fishing modes are: beach/bank, man-made structures
(bridges, piers, jetties, etc.), party/charter boats, and
private/rental boats. The fishing areas are: ocean 3 miles
or less from land, ocean more than 3 miles from land, inland
(sounds, rivers, bays), and unknown.
The fishing trip tables indicate the estimated number
of trips by coastal residents (generally residing within 25
miles of the coast), non-coastal residents of the subregion
bordering saltwater, and non-residents. All residents of the
Western Pacific Islands and the Caribbean were considered
coastal residents.
Atlantic and Gulf. Atlantic croaker, bluefish, saltwater
catfishes, spot, and summer flounder accounted for over 35
percent of the 1980 total estimated number of fish caught.
While bluefish was the dominant catch in the North and Mid-
Atlantic, it was replaced by spot and saltwater catfishes in
the South Atlantic and Gulf, respectively. The
private/rental fishing mode accounted for 58 percent of the
total catch, over twice the next highest catch in the man-
made mode. The Atlantic and Gulf had the highest per-
centage (16) of total catch taken in the fishery conservation
zone of any region. The Atlantic and Gulf also had the
highest number of trips of any region with over 79 percent
of the U.S. total.
Pacific. The 1979 data table only represents 6 months of
data since the survey did not begin until July of 1979. It
should be noted that at the request of Pacific coast States,
the NMFS survey did not include salmon. These States had
ongoing salmon data collection efforts.
In 1980 surf smelt was the most prevalent fish in
Northern California (from Monterey County north), as well
as for the region. Across all subregions, rockfishes were the
dominant species with white croaker, Pacific mackerel, and
Pacific herring significantly contributing to the catch. The
beach/bank and private/rental modes each accounted for
approximately 30 percent of the total catch. Most of the
fish were caught in the ocean within 3 miles of land.
Almost 15 million marine recreational fishing trips were
estimated to have been taken in this region.
Western Pacific. Hawaii, American Samoa and Guam
comprised the 1979 survey, with the Northern Marianas
added in 1980. Catches of invertebrates were also
estimated in this region, comprising 9 percent of the 1980
catch in number. The tropical fauna of these areas was
represented by high catches of aholehole, akule, manini, and
several species of mullets. More than 80 percent of the
catch was in the beach/bank mode. Forty-two percent of
the total catch was taken inland while another 46 percent
was taken in the ocean less than 3 miles from shore. Not
suprisingly, the majority of trips (95 percent) were taken by
residents of the islands.
Caribbean. The data tables show results of the 1979
survey. Species in the herring and anchovy family
represented a high proportion of the catch in number in
Puerto Rico, whereas sea basses and snappers comprised the
14
U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES
I
majority of catch in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some portion of
the Caribbean catch was landed with nets rather than hook
and line. A high number of small net-caught fish is the
likely cause of the herring/anchovy dominance. This is
supported by the 52 percent beach/bank - inland catch in
Puerto Rico. While a large part (38 percent) of the Virgin
Island catch was also made in the beach/bank mode, almost
half the total catch was made in the private/rental boat
mode. While many more trips were taken in Puerto Rico
than in the Virgin Islands, the percentage of non-resident
trips in the Virgin Islands was five times higher than in
Puerto Rico.
1981 Socioeconomic Survey. The following data summarize
the findings of the 1981 socioeconomic survey conducted on
the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. Most anglers reported
that they were fishing for relaxation and for sport.
Catching fish was stated to be of lesser importance by most
anglers. In general, preference for catching a particular
species was not a major issue for most anglers. About half
reported a preferred species while fishing, and most of these
said they would continue to fish if they knew their preferred
species was not available. About three-fourths of all
anglers reported they were very satisfied or somewhat
satisfied with their fishing experience. Most fish caught and
kept were used by anglers for food; fish which were not kept
were usually returned to the water alive. The average total
expenditure per trip (excluding travel costs) was $39.
Average total expenditure value of fishing equipment per
person was $446. About one third of all fishing households
had money invested in a boat suitable for saltwater fishing.

Note:--There are 2,204.6 pounds in a metric ton. Prior to 1970, the world commercial
catch of whales and seals is excluded. For the years 1970-1981, data for marine mammals
and aquatic plants are excluded. There is a revision in the total world commercial catch
back to 1970 as published in FAO Yearbook of Fishery Statistics, Vol. 48 and 50. However,
prior to 1974, data on freshwater and marine catches were not revised. Therefore, for the
years 1970 to 1973, data will not add to the grand total.

Note:--Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 158 countries. The total
value of exports is consistently less than the total value of imports, probably because charges
for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value but not in the
export value. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1. Fish, fresh,
chilled or frozen; 2. Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3. Crustaceans and mollusks, fresh,
frozen, dried, salted etc.; 4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight
-.ontainers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk products and preparations, whether or not in airtight
-.ontainers; 6. Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic animal origin; and 7. Meals,
iolubles, and similar animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.

INDEXES OF EXVESSEL PRICES
73
The tables that follow show indexes of exvessel
prices prepared by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Most of the prices used in calculating the "Indexes of
Exvessel Prices for Fish and Shellfish" are based on monthly
landings and value data. In a few cases, prices are obtained
from Fishery Market News Reports and Market News
Offices. The index for each species is calculated by
multiplying the current monthly price by the total quantity
caught in 1967 (the base year) to obtain a value for the
current month. That value is then divided by the 1967
average monthly value to obtain the final index:
(Current price X 1967 quantity)
1967 average monthly value
Index for each species
To calculate the index for salmon, tuna, New England
finfish, and other shellfish, the current monthly values for
each of these species are added together and divided by
the aggregate 1967 average monthly values for the group.
To calculate monthly indexes for edible finfish, edible
shellfish, edible fish, industrial fish, and all fish, the index
number for each species is multiplied by a factor
representing its importance in the total exvessel value of all
species of fish and shellfish for the period 1966-70; the sum
of these products is the index number for the group of
species.
Each index number calculated for years other than
the base year of 1967 measures price changes from the
reference period (1967) which equals 100. An increase of 85
percent from the reference period in the index, for example,
is shown as 185.0. This change can also be expressed in
dollars, as follows: The price of a species of fish that sold
in the United States for $1.00 per pound in 1967 has
increased to $1.85 per pound.

PER CAPITA USE
Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based
on the supply of fishery products, both edible and nonedible
(industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without
considering beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases,
or exports (see page 6 2). .
Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita
consumption data (see page 81). Per capita consumption
figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight
consumption rather than round weight consumption. In
addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for
beginning and ending stocks and exports, whereas the use
does not include such allowances.
Per capita use is derived by using total population
including U.S. Armed Forces overseas.. The per capita
consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

(1) Data include U.S. commercial landings and imports of both edible and nonedible
(industrial) fishery products on a round-weight basis. "Total supply" is not adjusted for
beginning and ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports.
(2) Domestic landings data used in calculating these data are preliminary.
Note:--From 1970 through 1980, population and per capita utilization data were revised to
reflect the results of the 1980 census.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION
81
Annual per capita consumption of seafood products represents the pounds of edible meat consumed from domestically-
caught and imported fish and shellfish adjusted for beginning and ending inventories, and exports, divided by the civilian
population of the United States as of July I of each year.

(1) Resident population for 1909 to 1929 and civilian resident population for 1930 to date.
(2) Fresh and frozen fish consumption from 1910 to 1928 is estimated. Beginning in 1973,
data include consumption of artificially cultivated catfish.
(3) Canned fish consumption for 1910 to 1920 is estimated. Beginning in 1921, it is based
on production reports, packer stocks, and foreign trade statistics for individual years.
(4) Cured fish consumption for 1910 to 1928 is estimated.
(5) Data for 1909 estimate based on the 1908 census and foreign trade data.
(6) Domestic landings data used in calculating these data are preliminary.
*Record .
Note:--These consumption figures refer only to consumption of fish and shellfish entering
commercial channels, and they do not include data on consumption of recreational ly caught
fish and shellfish which since 1970 is estimated to be between 3 to 4 pounds (edible meat)
per person annually. The figures are calculated on the basis of raw edible meat, i.e.
excluding bones, viscera, shells, etc. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) consumption
figures for red meats and poultry are based on the retail weight of the products, as
purchased in retail stores. USDA estimates the net edible weight to be about 70-95 percent
of the retail weight, depending on the cut and type of meat. From 1970 through 1980, data
were revised to reflect the results of the 1980 census.

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT
The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(MFCMA), Public Law 94-265 as amended, provides for the
conservation and exclusive management of all fishery
resources within the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ)
except highly migratory species of tuna. It also provides for
exclusive management authority over continental shelf
fishery resources and anadromous species beyond the U.S.
FCZ, except during the time they are found within any
foreign nation's territorial sea or fishery conservation zone
(or eguivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone is
recognized by the United States.
The U.S. FCZ extends from the seaward boundaries
of the territorial sea (3 nautical miles from shore for all but
two States) to 200 nautical miles from shore. The seaward
boundaries of Texas, Puerto Rico, and the Gulf Coast of
Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles).
GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS
Under the MFCMA, the U.S. Department of State,
with cooperation from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S.
Department of Commerce, negotiates a Governing
International Fishery Agreement (GIFA) with any foreign
country wishing to fish within the U.S. FCZ. After the
GIFA is signed, it is transmitted by the President to the
Congress for review.
FOREIGN FISHING PERMIT
After a GIFA is in force, the foreign nation submits a
vessel permit application for each vessel to the U.S.
Department of State. The U.S. Department of State
provides copies of the application to the Congress, the U.S.
Coast Guard, the appropriate Regional Fishery Management
Council, and to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries of
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) with
recommendations. The NMFS also receives recommen-
dations from the Regional Fishery Management Councils and
the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as the general public.
The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries reviews all
recommendations pertinent to the application and, after
consultation with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S.
Coast Guard, may approve the application. The conditions
and restrictions on the approval of the application are sent
to the foreign nation through the U.S. Department of State,
and must be accepted by the nation before a permit is
issued.
FEES
Foreign nations engaged in fisheries subject to U.S.
jurisdiction are charged permit fees, a poundage fee, a
foreign fee surcharge, and an observer fee.
The permit fees in 1983 recovered administrative
costs of issuing permits. A uniform permit fee of $73 per
vessel was charged for catching, processing or other support
vessel permits. Permits fees are paid when permit
applications are submitted.
fees.
The 1983 poundage fees were 1.28 times the 1982
in 1983 the United States imposed a surcharge of 4
percent on each nation's permit and poundage fees. The
surcharge is used to capitalize a fund to compensate U.S.
fishermen operating in the U.S. FCZ whcse vessels or gear
are lost or damaged because of conflicts with foreign
vessels.
The observer fee covers U.S. costs including salary,
per diem, transportation, and overhead for U.S. observers on
board foreign vessels. The fee is computed on the basis of
actual observer trips.
FOREIGN ALLOCATIONS
The total allowable level of foreign fishing (TALFF),
if any, for any fishery subject to the exclusive fishery
management authority of the United States is that portion
of the optimum yield (OY) of such fishery that will not be
harvested by vessels of the United States
Each assessment of OY and each assessment of the
anticipated U.S. harvest is reviewed during each fishing
season. Adjustments to TALFF's are based on updated
information relating to status of stocks, estimated and
actual performance of domestic and foreign fleets, and
other relevant factors.
FMP's and PMP's
Under the Mangnuson Act, eight Regional Fishery
Management Councils are charged with preparing Fishery
Management Plans (FMP's) for the fisheries needing
management under their jurisdiction. After the Councils
develop FMP's which cover domestic and foreign fishing
efforts, the FMP's are submitted to the Secretary of
Commerce for approval and implementation. The
Department, through NMFS agents and the U.S. Coast
Guard, is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations.
The secretary of Commerce is also empowered to
prepare plans. Where no FMP exists, Preliminary Fishery
Management Plans (PMP's), which only cover foreign fishing
efforts, are prepared by the Secretary for each fishery for
which a foreign nation requests a permit. The Secretary is
also empowered to produce an FMP for any fishery that a
Council has not duly produced. In this latter case, the
Secretary's plan covers domestic and foreign fishing.
As of January I, 1984, seven Preliminary Fisherv
Management Plans (PMP's) were in effect, many of which
have been amended since first being implemented.

Fishery Management Plans (FMPS)
Under section 304 of the Magnuson Act, all Council
prepared Fishery Management Plans must be reviewed by
the Secretary of Commerce. As of January I, 1984, no
FMP's were undergoing the Secretarial Review process.
After FMP's have been approved under Section 304 of
the Magnuson Act, they are implemented with federal
regulations, under Section 305 of the Act. As of January I,
1984, there three plans awaiting implementation.
Caribbean Spiny Lobster
Gulf and South Atlantic Corals
Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish
As of January I, 1984, 19 FMP's were fully
implemented, many of which have been amended several
times since initial implementation. Plans demarked with an
asterisk (*) were newly implemented in the last year. The
Squid, Mackerel, and Butterfish plans were merged by
amendment into one plan from three separate plans, in the
last year.
American Lobster*
Atlantic Groundfish (Interim Plan)
Atlantic Squid, Mackerel, and Butterfish

The National Fisheries Institute, a national trade
association of seafood processors, brokers, importers, and
buyers, in cooperation with and under contract to the
National Marine Fisheries Service, has prepared a series of
economic profiles of the U.S. seafood processing industry.
These profiles will serve as a primer for regulatory
and policy analysts who may not be familiar with the
intricacies of seafood processing and of economic con-
straints facing seafood processors, who are predominately
small businessmen.
They present the business world of the seafood
processor from an intergrated perspective, and address the
resource, harvesting, processing, and marketing practices
and constraints. The text is designed for the general reader
and details are given only to illustrate the complexity of the
industry. A thorough treatment of many topics is
intentionally avoided and technical references are kept to a
mimimum. However, sufficient statistical data and
references are provided to support economic analyses and
further study.

GLOSSARY
ANADROMOUS SPECIES. These are species of fish thaf
mature in the ocean, and then ascend streams to spawn in
freshwater. In the MFCMA, these species include, but are
not limited to, Atlantic and Pacific salmons, steelhead
trout, and striped bass. See 42 FR 60682, Nov. 28, 1977.
BOAT, OTHER. Commercial fishing craft not powered by a
motor, e.g., rowboat or sailboat, having a capacity of less
than 5 net tons. See motorboat.
BREADED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or other
forms of fish or shellfish coated with a non-leavened
mixture containing cereal products, flavorings, and other
ingredients. Breaded products are sold raw or partially
cooked.
BATTER-COATED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or
other forms of fish or shellfish coated with a batter
containing a leavening agent and mixture of cereal products,
flavoring, and other ingredients, and partially cooked in hot
oil a short time to expand and set the batter.
BREADED SHRIMP. Peeled shrimp coated with breading.
The product may be identified as fantail (butterfly) and
round, with or without tail fins and last shell segment; also
known as portions, sticks, steaks, etc., when prepared from
a composite unit of two or more shrimp pieces, whole
shrimp, or a combination of both without fins or shells.
BUTTERFLY FILLET. Two skin-on fillets of a fish joined
together by the belly skin. See fillets.
CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Fish, shellfish, or other
aquatic animals packed in cans, jars, or other containers,
which are hermetically sealed and heat-sterilized. Canned
fishery products may include milk, vegetables, or other
products. Most, but not all, canned fishery products can be
stored at room temperature for an indefinite time without
spoiling.
COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who derives
income from catching and selling living resources taken
from inland or marine waters.
CONSUMPTION OF EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS. Esti-
mated amount of commercially landed fish, shellfish, and
other aquatic animals consumed by the civilian population of
the United States. Estimates are on an edible-weight basis
and have been adjusted for beginning and ending inventories
of edible fishery products. Consumption includes U.S.
production of fishery products from both domestically
caught and imported fish, shellfish, other edible aquatic
plants, animals, and imported products; and excludes exports
and purchases by the U.S. Armed Forces.
CURED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Products preserved by
drying, pickling, salting, or smoking. Do not include canned,
frozen, irradiated, or pasteurized products. Dried products
are cured by sun or air-drying; pickled or salted products are
those products preserved by applying salt, or by pickling
(immersing in brine or in a vinegar or other preservative
solution); smoked products are cured with smoke or a
combination of smoking and drying or salting.
EL NINO. This anomalous ocean warming of the eastern
Equatorial Pacific occurs at time intervals varying from 2-
10 years. El Nino conditions in 1982-83 resulted in an
accumulation of warm water off South America which
reduced the upwelling of nutrient-rich water necessary to
support fisheries production. These conditions extended
northward to the U.S. Pacific coast. In addition to affecting
the food available for fish, El Nino appears to alter the
normal ranges, distributions, and migrations of fish
populations.
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (EEC). Belgium and
Luxembourg, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany,
Greece, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, and United
Kingdom.
EXVESSEL PRICE. Price received by the harvester for fish,
shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals.
"FISH AND CHIPS." This United States fisheries policy
links foreign fishing privileges in the U.S. FCZ to foreign
country contributions to the development of the U.S. fishing
industry. These include reductions of foreign tariff and non-
tariff barriers that restrict importation of fishery products,
and other cooperation in advancing opportunities for fishery
trade. This policy was incorporated into the foreign nation
species allocation process as a matter of law by the 1980
amendments to the Magnuson Act.
FISH BLOCKS. Regular fish blocks are frozen blocks or
slabs of fillets or pieces of fillets cut or sliced from fish.
Minced fish blocks are frozen blocks or slabs of minced flesh
produced by a meat and bone separating machine.
FISH FILLETS. The sides of fish that are either skinned or
have the skin on, cut lengthwise from the backbone. Most
types of fillets are boneless or virtually boneless; some may
be labeled as "boneless fillets."
FISH MEAL. A high-protein animal feed supplement made
by cooking, pressing, drying, and grinding fish or shellfish.
FISH OIL. An oil extracted from body (body oil) or liver
(liver oil) of fish and marine mammals; mostly a byproduct
of fish meal production.
CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RESOURCES. These are
living organisms of any sedentary species that at the har-
vestable are stage either (a) immobile on or under the
seabed or (b) unable to move except in constant physical
contact with the seabed or subsoil of the continental shelf.
The MFCMA now lists them as certain abalones, surf clam
and ocean quahog, queen conch, Atlantic deep-sea red crab,
dungeness crab, stone crab, king crabs, snow (tanner) crabs,
American lobster, certain corals, and sponges.
FISH PORTION. A piece of fish flesh that is generally of
uniform size with thickness of 3/8 of an inch or more and
differs from a fish stick in being wider or of a different
shape. A fish portion is generally cut from a fish block.
FISH SOLUBLES. A water-soluble protein byproduct of fish
meal production. Fish solubles are generally condensed to
50 percent solids and marketed as "condensed fish solubles."
GLOSSARY
117
FISH STEAK. A cross-section slice cut from a large dressed
fish. A steak is usually about 3/4 of an inch thick.
FISH STICK. An elongated piece of breaded fish flesh
weighing not less than 3/4 of an ounce and not more than I-
1/2 ounces with the largest dimension at least three times
that of the next larger dimension. A fish stick is generally
cut from a fish block.
FISHING CRAFT. COMMERCIAL. Boats and vessels
engaged in capturing fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants
and animals for sale.
FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan developed
by a Regional Fishery Management Council to manage a
fishery resource pursuant to the MFCMA.
FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual
who receives more than 50 percent of their annual income
from commercial fishing activities, including port activity,
such as vessel repair and re-rigging.
GROSS REGISTERED TONNAGE (GRT). The gross
registered' tonnage of a vessel is the internal cubic capacity
of all space in and on the vessel that is permanently
enclosed, with the exception of certain permissible
exemptions. GRT is expressed in tons of 100 cubic feet.
GROUNDFISH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the
sea floor. The term includes a wide variety of bottomf ishes,
rockfififhes, and flatfishes. However, NMFS sometimes uses
the tefm in a narrower sense. In import statistics shown in
"Fisheries of the United States," the term applies to the
following species: cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock, and
Atlantic Ocean perch.
JOINT VENTURE. An operation authorized under the
MFCMA in which a permitted foreign vessel receives fish in
the U.S. FCZ from a U.S. vessel. The fish received from the
U.S. vessel are part of the U.S. harvest.
LANDINGS, COMMERCIAL. Quantities of fish, shellfish,
and other aquatic plants and animals brought ashore and
sold. Landings of fish may be in terms of round (live) weight
or dressed weight. Landings of crustaceans are generally on
a live-weight basis except for shrimp which may be on a
heads-on or heads-off basis. Mollusks are generally landed
with the shell on, but for some species only the meats are
landed, such as sea scallops. Data for all mollusks are
published on a meat-weight basis.
MAGNUSON
FISHERY
CONSERVATION
AND
MANAGEMENT ACT. Public Law 94-265, as amended,
(MFCMA). The Act provides a national program for the
conservation and management of fisheries to allow for an
optimum yield (OY) on a continuing basis and to realize the
full potential of the Nation's fishery resources. The
MFCMA established the U.S. fishery conservation zone
(FCZ) and a means to control foreign and certain domestic
fisheries through PMPs and FMPs. Within the U.S. FCZ, the
United States has exclusive management authority over all
fish (meaning finfish, mollusks, crustaceans, and all other
forms of marine animal and plant life other than marine
mammals, birds, and highly migratory species of tuna). The
Act provides further exclusive management authority
beyond the U.S. FCZ for all continental shelf fishery
resources and all anadromous species throughout the
migratory range of each such species, except during the
time they are found within any foreign nation's territorial
sea or fishery conservation zone (or the equivalent), to the
extent that such a sea or zone is recognized by the United
States.
INDEXES OF EXVESSEL PRICES. Indexes of exvessel
prices in this report are calculated by averaging prices for
the various species of fish. The weight assigned to each
species represents its importance in the total exvessel value
of all species in 1966-70. Detailed data are aggregated to
obtain indexes for groups of species. Each index measures
price changes from 1967, the reference period, which is
designed as 100. An increase of 85 percent from the
reference period in the index, for example, is shown as
185.0.
MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish,
shellfish, and other living aquatic organisms caught, but not
necessarily brought ashore, by marine recreational
fishermen.
MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure,
amusement, relaxation, or home consumption. If part or all
of the catch is sold, the monetary returns constitute an
insignificant part of the person's income.
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items processed from
fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals that are
not consumed directly by humans. These items contain
products from seaweeds, fish meal, fish oils, fish solubles,
pearl essence, shark and other aquatic animal skins, and
shells.
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE NORTHWEST
ATLANTIC FISHERIES (ICNAF). This convention, which
entered into force on July 3, 1950, was for the investigation,
protection, and conservation of the fishery resources of the
Northwest Atlantic Ocean. In 1975, there were 18 member
nations. The United States withdrew from ICNAF on
December 31, 1976, because continued adherence to the
convention was deemed incompatible with the extension of
U.S. fishery management jurisdictions to 200 miles under
the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of
1976. See Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization
(NAFO).
MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN. Those people who
fish in marine waters primarily for recreational purposes.
Their catch is primarily for home consumption, although
occasionally a part or all of their catch may be sold and
enter commercial channels.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY). MSY from a
fishery is the largest annual catch or yield in terms of
weight of fish caught by both commercial and recreational
fishermen that can be taken continuously from a stock under
existing environmental conditions. A determination of MSY,
which should be an estimate based upon the best scientific
information available, is a biological measure necessary in
the development of optimum yield.
NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIFS ORGANIZATION
(NAFO). This convention, which entered into force January
T, 1979, replaces ICN/F. NAFO provides a forum for
continued multilateral scientific research and investigation

GLOSSARY
of fishery resources of the Northwest Atlantic. NAFO will
manage fishery resources that occur beyond the limits of
coastal nations fishery jurisdiction in the northwest
Atlantic, and will ensure consistency between NAFO
management measures in this area and those adopted by the
coastal nations within the limits of their fishery
jurisdiction.
ROUND (LIVE) WEIGHT. The weight of fish, shellfish, or
other aquatic plants and animals as taken from the water;
the complete or full weight as caught. The tables on world
catch found in this publication include, in the case of
mollusks, the weight of both the shells and the meats,
whereas the tables on U.S. landings include only the weight
of the meats.
TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING
MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft (TALFF). The TALFF, if any, with respect to any fishery
having a capacity of less than 5 net tons. See "boat, other."
OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the MFCMA, OY with respect to
the yield from a fishery, is the amount of fish that (I) will
provide the greatest overall benefit to the United States,
with particular reference to food production and
recreational opportunities; and (2) is prescribed as such on
the basis of maximum sustainable yield from such fishery, as
modified by any relevant ecological, economic, or social
factors.
subject to the exclusive fishery management authority of
the United States, shall be that portion of the optimum yield
of such fishery which will not be harvested by vessels of the
United States, as determined by provisions of the MFCMA.
U.S. FISHERY CONSERVATION ZONE (FCZ). The MFCMA
defines this zone as contiguous to the territorial sea of the
United States and extending seaward 200 nautical miles
measured from the baseline from which the territorial sea is
measured.
PACKAGED FISH. A term used in NMFS publications prior U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by all
to 1972 to designate fresh or frozen raw fish fillets and U.S. fishing vessels regardless of where landed as opposed to
steaks. landings at ports in the 50 States. These include landings at
foreign ports, U.S. territories, and foreign vessels in the
U.S. FCZ under joint venture agreements. U.S. law
PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual prohibits vessels constructed or registered in foreign
who receives less than 50 percent of their annual income countries to land fish catches at U.S. ports,
from commercial fishing activities.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Consumption of edible
fishery products in the United States divided by the total
civilian population. In calculating annual per capita
consumption, estimates of the civilian resident population of
the United States on July I of each year are used. These
estimates are taken from current population reports, series
P-25, published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
PER CAPITA USE. The use of all fishery products, both
edible and nonedible, in the United States divided by the
total population of the United States.
U.S. TERRITORIAL SEA. A zone extending 3 nautical miles
from shore for all States except Texas and the Gulf Coast of
Florida where the seaward boundary is 3 marine leagues (9
nautical miles).
USE OF FISHERY PRODUCTS.
the total supply of fishery
nonedible on a round-weight
beginning or ending stocks, exports, military purchases, or
shipments to U.S. territories.
Estimated disappearance of
products both edible and
basis without considering
PRELIMINARY FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (PMP).
The Secretary of Commerce prepares a PMP whenever a
foreign nation with whom the United States has made a
Governing International Fishery Agreement (GIFA) submits
an application to fish in a fishery not managed by a FMP. A
PMP is replaced by an FMP as soon as the latter is
implemented.
RETAIL PRICE. The price of fish and shellfish sold to the
final consumer by food stores and other retail outlets.
VESSEL. A commercial fishing craft having a capacity of 5
net tons or more. These craft are either enrolled or
documented by the U.S. Coast Guard and have an official
number assigned by that agency.
WHOLESALE FISH AND SHELLFISH PRICES. Prices in this
report generally are those received at principal fishery
markets by primary wholesalers (processors, importers, and
brokers) in customary quantities, free on board (f.o.b.)
warehouse.

Federal Inspection Marks
For Fishery Products
FISHERY PRODUCTS ARE
VOLUNTARILY INSPECTED. Beef
and poultry, as well as many other
perishable food items, are federally
inspected at various stages of processing
to ensure buyers that the product is safe,
wholesome, and acceptable. Fishery
products have no similar mandatory
Federal inspection program; however,
the U.S. Department of Commerce
(USDC) provides a voluntary inspection
program for fishery products. Seafood
processors, packers, brokers, and users
who are interested in having USDC
inspect their products may subscribe
voluntarily to the program. Users of the
service pay for USDC inspection which
evaluates their raw materials, ensures the
hygienic preparation of products, and
certifies the final quality and condition
of the product. The USDC inspector
functions as an objective observer in
evaluating processing techiques and
product quality and condition. Products
packed in plants under USDC inspection
can carry marks for easy consumer
identification.
FEDERAL INSPECTION MARKS.
Federal inspection marks are official
marks approved by the Secretary of
Commerce and authorized for use on
brand labels of fishery products. When
displayed on product labels, these
marks signify that inspectors licensed
by the Department of Commerce
inspected, graded, and certified the
products as having met all the
requirements of inspection regulations,
and have been produced in accordance
with official U.S. grade standards or
approved specifications.
WHAT DO THE INSPECTION MARKS
MEAN? The distinctive inspection
marks are symbols that signify two
distinct but related functions in guiding
the consumer to safe, wholesome
products produced in a sanitary
environment and packed in accordance
with uniform quality standards under
the supervision of the U.S. Department
of Commerce's voluntary inspection
service. The functions symbolized by
each mark follow :
"U.S. GRADE" MARK. The "U.S.
Grade" mark signifies that:
1 . The product is clean, safe, and whole-
some.
2. The product is of a specified quality,
identified by the appropriate U.S.
Grade designation, as determined by
a federally-licensed inspector in ac-
cordance with established require-
ments in U.S. Grade Standards.
3. The product was produced in an
acceptable establishment with proper
equipment and in an appropriate
processing environment as required
by food control authorities.
4. The product was processed under su-
pervision by federally-licensed food
inspectors and packed in accordance
with specific Good Manufacturing
Practice Requirements.
The product is truthfully and ac-
curately labeled as to common or
usual name, optional ingredients,
and quantity.
"PACKED UNDER FEDERAL
INSPECTION" MARK. "Packed Under
Federal Inspection" may be displayed as
an official mark or as an official
statement on the product label. The
mark or statement signifies that the
properly labeled product Is clean, safe,
and wholesome and has been produced
in an acceptable establishment with
appropriate equipment under the
supervision of federally-licensed in-
spectors, the product has not been
graded as to a specific quality level;
rather, it is an acceptable commercial
quality as determined by Federal
inspectors in accordance with approved
standards or specifications.

Financing For Fishing Vessels
Two National Marine Fisheries Service programs are available for financing
fisheries production equipment.
The Fishing Vessel Obligation Guarantee Program is available for financing
up to %lxh percent of the cost of constructing, reconstructing, or
reconditioning fishing vessels and fisheries shoreside facilities. Maturities of 15
to 25 years are available.
The long-term financing available under this program allows debt service
of equipment construction or refurbishing costs to be spread over a period of
time more consistent with the economics of fisheries operations. Down
payments are low and interest costs are reasonable.
This financing program compensates for the fishing industry's inadequate
access to normal private markets for long-term debt capital.
The Fishing Vessel Capital Construction Fund Program allows fishing
vessel owners to defer payment of Federal tax on any portion of income
earned from the operation of fishing vessels of at least 2 net tons when that
income is reserved for payment toward the cost of vessel construction or
reconstruction. This provides an interest-free loan from the U.S. Government
equal to the Federal taxes which otherwise would have been paid on vessel
income.
Deferred taxes are eventually repaid to the U.S. Government through a
reduction in the depreciation allowed on vessels constructed or reconstructed
with tax deferred funds. The "interest-free loan" character of the tax deferral,
thus, continues through the depreciable life of the vessel.
This tax-deferral program compensates for vessel owner's general lack of
access to the equity capital market by reducing the amount which must be
initially borrowed from conventional sources to finance vessel construction or
reconstruction.
Several other programs are available. One compensates for fishing gear
which has been damaged or destroyed under certain circumstances; another
indemnifies against seizure by foreign governments; and one compensates for
gear damage which has been caused by Outer Continential Shelf energy
activities.
