Thompson, Chief Washington, D.C. April 1 981 Second Printing U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Malcolm Baldrige, Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration James P. Walsh, Acting Administrator National Marine Fisheries Service Terry L. Leitzell, Assistant Administrator for Fisheries PREFACE FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1980 This is a preliminary report for 1980 on commercial and marine recreational 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 are preliminary for 1980. All data on foreign catches are preliminary. Data on U.S. cold storage holdings, employment, prices, and production of processed products are preliminary for 1980. Final data will be published in annual summaries (see section on publications, p. 118 ) and later in Fishery Statistics of the United States. UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING A section of this publication briefly describes the background and methodology of the Marine Recreational Fishery Statistics Surveys. The results presented on recreational catch by species, number, weight, area and mode of fishing, and number of fishermen and trips are taken from the 1979 survey report for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. SOURCES OF DATA Information in this report came from many sources. Regional 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 Regional Offices compiled data on the foreign catch from reports by designated foreign officials. The NMFS Washington, D.C., office of Resource Statistics Division 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 report, 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. SUGGESTIONS Because the Resource Statistics Division wishes to provide the kinds of data sought by users of fishery statistics, the Division welcomes any comments or suggestions that will improve this report.

Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 States were a record 6.5 billion pounds valued at $2.2 billion in 1980, up 3 percent in quantity but about equal in value compared with 1979, the previous record year. Increased landings of salmon, tuna, rockfishes, Atlantic cod, Pacific herring, and crabs offset declines in other major species such as menhaden and anchovies. Prices in 1980 of most edible fish and shellfish declined. The annual average exvessel price index shows a decline of 10 percent in 1980 compared with 1979. For the third consecutive year the United States has established new record landings. The percent of the total U.S. supply of commerical fishery products produced by the U.S. domestic fishery has increased the last 4 years. In 1980 domestic production of total supply was 57.1 percent and imports 42.9 percent. In 1976 the U.S. production accounted for 46.5 percent of total supply. Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports outside the 50 States and transferred in the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ) onto foreign vessels (joint ventures) were an additional 255.4 million pounds valued at $102.2 million. Most of these consisted of tuna landed at canneries in Puerto Rico and groundfish transferred to foreign vessels. Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 States were a record 3.7 billion pounds in 1980, up 10 percent compared with 1979. Landings of most major species, particularly salmon, increased. Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes by U.S. fishermen in the 50 States were 2.8 billion pounds in 1980, 4 percent less than 1979. The decrease is attributed to smaller catches of menhaden, the dominant industrial fish, and anchovies. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. The foreign catch of fish (excluding tunas) and shellfish in the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ) was 1,631,000 metric tons (3.6 billion pounds) in 1980, I percent below 1979, and 22 percent below the average for the 5 preceding years. As in other years, the FCZ off Alaska supplied by far the largest share of the foreign catch, 93 percent; Washington, Oregon, and California, 3 percent; North Atlantic, 4 percent; and Hawaii and the Pacific islands, less than one tenth of I percent. Alaska pollock comprised 69 percent of the foreign catch; Pacific flounders, I I percent; hake (Pacific whiting), 3 percent; and other fish and shellfish, the remainder. Japan continued as the leading nation fishing in the U.S. FCZ with a catch of 1.2 million metric tons in 1980. Catches by vessels of the Republic of Korea, the second most important catching nation, were 210,000 metric tons, 65 percent above 1979. U.S. VS. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. The combined catch by U.S. and foreign vessels in the area 3 to 200 nautical miles from U.S. shores, known as the FCZ, was 2.6 million metric tons in 1980, up 3 percent compared with 1979. The rise in the U.S. catch more than offset a decline in the foreign catch, and the U.S. share rose to 36 percent of the total, up from 33 percent in 1979. AQUACULTURE. Commercial production of selected fish and shellfish through aquaculture techniques is developing in the United States. Cur- rent production of marine, brackish, and freshwater species is 160.2 million pounds, of which 78 percent is comprised of freshwater species. Total value of these selected species was $143.2 million in 1980. MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. The data shown in the publication are for the Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico Coast for 1979 and are part of a recently initiated survey of marine recreational fisheries in the United States. Survey results for other areas were not available in time to be included in the publication, but will be published in the next few months. Fisheries of the United States, 1981 will contain data on the total U.S. catch. marine recreational WORLD LANDINGS. In 1979, the most recent year for which data are available, world commercial fishery landings were a record 71.3 million metric tons, I percent more than the revised 1978 total of 70.5 million metric tons. Japan was the leading nation with 14 percent of the total; the USSR, second with 13 percent; China, third with 6 percent; Peru, fourth with 5 percent; and the United States, fifth with 5 percent. PRICES. During 1980, the Index of Exvessel Prices for Fish and Shellfish declined to 399.9. The index (1967=100) for edible fish was 406.1, down I I percent from 1979. Among the exceptions to this downward trend were the exvessel prices for ocean perch, red snapper, tuna, whiting, and soft clams, American lobster, Eastern oysters, and sea scallops, all of which increased. The index for industrial fish was 315.6 for 1980, up 3 percent compared with 1979. PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The 1980 value of do- mestic production of edible and nonedible processed fishery products was $4.7 billion, 5 percent above 1979. The value of edible products increased to $4.3 billion, 6 percent above 1979. All categories of edible products increased in value. The value of industrial products of $395 million in 1980 was $17.3 million less than 1979. IV REVIEW FOREIGN TRADE. U.S. imports of edible fishery products were 2.1 billion pounds (product weight) valued at a record $2.7 billion in 1980, down 10 percent in quantity, but up I percent in value. U.S. imports of nonedible (industrial) products were $966.0 million in 1980, down 16 percent compared with 1979. The United States exported a record 573.9 million pounds valued at $904.4 million of edible fishery products in 1980, up 4 percent in quantity but down II percent in value from 1979. Exports in 1980 of nonedible products were $101.8 million, 64 percent above 1979. SUPPLY. THE U.S. supply of edible fishery products (domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent) was 8.0 billion pounds in 1980, 3 percent less than 1979. The decrease was caused by lower imports of edible fishery products. The supply of industrial fishery products was 3.4 billion pounds in 1980, 6 percent less than 1979. A decrease in domestic landings of industrial products and less imports contributed to this decline. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of fishery products was 13.0 pounds of edible meat per person in 1980, down 0.2 pound from 1979.

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS Menhaden landings in 1980 of 2,497 million pounds (1,132 thousand metric tons) made up 38 percent of the commercial fishery landings in the United States. Salmon was the second most important species in both quantity and value. Crabs were the third most important in both quantity and value. Tuna was the fourth most important in both quantity and value. Shrimp was the fifth most important in quantity, but first in value. Tuna landings by U.S. craft at ports outside the United States amounted to 100.6 million pounds, mostly landed at Puerto Rican ports. Other species landed at ports outside the United States were shrimp, at Central and South American ports and Pacific groundfish onto foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ. Cameron, Louisiana, was the leading U.S. port in quantity of commercial fishery landings. The second was San Pedro, California, followed by Pascagoula- Moss Point, Mississippi; Empire-Venice, Louisiana; and Dulac-Chauvin, Louisiana. Menhaden was the principal species landed at these ports, except at San Pedro, where tuna was the principal species. San Pedro, California was the leading U.S. port in terms of value, followed by San Diego, California; Dutch Harbor and Kodiak, Alaska; and New Bedford, Massachusetts. Louisiana led all States in volume of landings with 1,423.4 million pounds, followed by Alaska with 1,053.9 million; California with 804.3 million; Virginia with 637.5 million; and Massachusetts with 438.4 million pounds. Alaska led all States in value with $560.6 million, followed by California with $323.4 million; Massachusetts with $178.6 million; Louisiana with 178.0 million; and Texas with $153.9 million. VI REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES ALASKA POLLOCK AND OTHER PACIFIC TRAWL FISH. U.S. landings of Pacific trawl fish (Alaska pollock, Pacific cod, flounders, hake (Pacific whiting), ocean perch, and rockfishes) were 207.7 million pounds valued at $42.2 million, up 8 percent in volume and 9 percent in value compared with 1979. Decreases in landings of flounders (12 percent), ocean perch (7 percent), Alaska pollock (45 percent), and hake (61 percent) were offset primarily by a 55 percent increase in rockfishes but also a 59 percent increase in Pacific cod. An additional catch of 137.7 million pounds of Pacific trawl fish valued at $8.4 million was caught by U.S. fishermen and unloaded to foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ. Efforts to increase the use of Pacific groundfish by U.S. processors was slightly affected this year with the failure of one firm in Alaska handling these fish and another Alaska firm shutting down its groundfish processing lines. However, the introduction of a large U.S. factory trawler and an experimental floating processor in the Bering Sea partially offset these events. The foreign catch of trawl fish in the Pacific U.S. FCZ was 1.6 million metric tons, a decline of 2 percent compared to 1979. About 84 percent of this catch was in the Eastern Bering Sea, 13 percent in the Gulf of Alaska, and the remaining 3 percent off Washington, Oregon, and California. Alaska pollock was the leading species caught (I.I million metric tons), followed by Pacific flounders (181,800 metric tons), and Pacific cod (71,600 metric tons). Japan and South Korea were the major fishing nations. ANCHOVIES. U.S. landings of anchovies in 1980 were 106.9 million pounds, a decline of 10.5 million pounds (9 percent) compared with 1979. In 1980, 103.7 million pounds were used for industrial purposes, with 88.9 million pounds or 86 percent of the anchovies reduced to meal, oil, and solubles. Another 13.8 million pounds or 13 percent was used for bait, mostly live bait for sport fishing. The remaining 982,000 pounds was used for pet food. Most of the anchovies were caught in purse seines, although some were taken with lampara nets. HALIBUT. U.S. landings of Atlantic and Pacific halibut were 19.2 million pounds (round weight) valued at $16.8 million, down 2.2 million pounds and $17.8 million compared with 1979. The Pacific fishery accounted for 99 percent of the 1980 total. The average exvessel price per pound in 1 980 was 88 cents compared with $1.62 in 1979. HERRING, SEA. U.S. commercial landings of sea herring were 291.1 million pounds valued at $45.0 million in 1980, up 39 percent in volume and down 4 percent in value compared with 1979. Landings of Atlantic sea herring were 184.0 million pounds valued at $10.4 million, up 28 percent in quantity and 23 percent in value from 1979. Landings of Pacific sea herring were 107.1 million pounds valued at $34.6 million, an increase of 41.4 million pounds (63 percent) and a decrease of $3.8 million (10 percent) in value. The average exvessel price per pound of Pacific sea herring decreased from 58 cents in 1979 to 32 cents in 1980. JACK AND PACIFIC MACKEREL. Landings in California were 109.1 million pounds valued at $9.8 million, up 16 percent in quantity and 46 percent in value from 1979. Jack mackerel comprised 41 percent and Pacific mackerel 59 percent of the total. This is the second year in a row that the catch of Pacific mackerel exceeded that of jack mackerel. Prior to 1978, the State of California prohibited the landings of a pure trip of Pacific mackerel, and the incidental take was limited to 18 percent for a trip. The reason for more Pacific mackerel landings in 1979 and 1980 was simply an increase in near-shore abundance and the removal of the State of California regulations. MACKEREL, ATLANTIC. U.S. landings of Atlantic mackerel in 1980 were 5.9 million pounds with an exvessel value of $816,000—1.4 million pounds more than in 1979 but a decline of $243,000 in value. Massachusetts was the leading State with landings of 2.6 million pounds (43 percent), followed by New Jersey with 1.6 million pounds (27 percent). The average exvessel price per pound in 1980 was 14 cents compared with 24 cents in 1979. MENHADEN. U.S. menhaden landings were 2.5 billion pounds valued at $1 12.0 million in 1980, down 107.8 million pounds or 4 percent in quantity but an increase of $2.6 million or 2 percent in value com- pared with 1979. Landings in the Atlantic States in- creased by 7 percent while the Gulf States declined again in 1980 by 10 percent. Over 99 percent of the total landings were reduced to meal, oil, and solubles; the rest was used for bait or for canned pet food. Landings along the Atlantic Coast were 948.9 million pounds worth $42.9 million in 1980, an increase of 7 percent in quantity and 19 percent in value compared with 1979. Of this amount, 906.5 million pounds were used for reduction in 1980, the remainder for bait. Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1.6 billion pounds compared with the 1979 landings of 1.7 billion pounds and 14 percent less than the record year 1978 when 1.8 billion pounds were landed. Gulf Coast landings in June and July were the highest during the year when 280.7 and 349.7 million pounds were landed. NORTH ATLANTIC TRAWL FISH. North Atlantic groundfish landings in 1980 were 460.0 million pounds (208,660 metric tons) valued at $145.6 million, in 1980 valued at $145.6 million, up 12 percent in quantity and 7 percent in value compared to the 411.3 million pounds valued at $136.5 million landed in 1979. Fish included are: butterfish, Atlantic cod, cusk, flounders, haddock, red and white hake, Atlantic ocean perch, pollock, and whiting (silver hake). Flounders led in value of these species, accounting for 46 percent of the total, cod second with 22 percent, and haddock third with 15 percent. v11 REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES Atlantic cod and haddock, managed under an FMP since 1977, have shown a marked increase in landings since 1976 when landings were 56.0 million and 12.8 million pounds respectively. In 1980 cod landings were 118.2 million pounds and haddock 55.2 million pounds. Yellowtail flounder have also been managed under an FMP since 1977, but landings have not shown a substantial increase. Yellowtail landings in 1976 were 38.0 million pounds and 42.6 million pounds in 1980. Foreign catches in the North Atlantic FCZ in 1980 were 71,714 metric tons, a 12 percent increase compared with 64,106 metric tons in 1979. Canada was the leading country with 40 percent, Spain second with 24 percent, Japan third with 15 percent, and Italy fourth with 13 percent. Other countries fishing the area were Cuba, Mexico, Faroe Islands, Poland, and Romania. Squid catches of 38,124 metric tons led all species caught (51 percent). Other species in order of significance were haddock (13 percent), cod (9 percent), pollock (7 percent), and sea scallops (7 percent). PACIFIC SALMON. U.S. commercial landings were 613.8 million pounds valued at $352.3 million, an increase of 77.7 million pounds or 14 percent and a decrease of $60.5 million or 15 percent compared with 1979. Excellent runs again of pink and red salmon in Alaska were the major factors for the increase. Alaska accounted for 92 percent of the total landings; Washington, 6 percent; and California and Oregon, I percent each. A small catch of 2,000 pounds of silver salmon were made in the Great Lakes. Alaska salmon landings in 1980, the largest since 1941, were 567.1 million pounds, up 99.3 million pounds or 21 percent from 1979. The value of Alaska salmon was $286.6 million, down $18.2 million or 6 percent compared with 1979. Pink salmon landings in Alaska were 253.5 million pounds, the greatest since 1942. Landings of red salmon were 204.4 million pounds, up 13 percent from 1979 and up 1 14.7 million pounds or 128 percent from 1978. Chum salmon landings were 74.4 million pounds, up 67 percent and silver salmon landings in Alaska were 23.2 million pounds, up I percent from 1979. Chinook salmon showed the only decrease in Alaska with 1 1.6 million pounds, down 21 percent from 1979. Salmon landings in Washington in 1980 were 33.8 million pounds valued at $39.8 million. Compared with 1979, landings of pink (11,000 pounds) and red (3.1 million pounds) decreased by 21.9 million pounds and 6.8 million pounds respectively. The largest increase was for chum salmon which rose from 1.3 million pounds in 1979 to 10.6 million pounds in 1980. There was a slight increase in chinook landings from 6.3 million pounds in 1979 to 7.6 million pounds in 1980. Salmon landings in Oregon were 7.0 million pounds valued at $12.7 million, down 3.5 million pounds in quantity and $8.5 million in value compared with 1979. The only increase was for chum salmon which went from 1,000 in 1979 to 2,000 pounds in 1980. Landings of pink salmon went from 127,000 pounds in 1979 to 1,000 pounds in 1980. Silver salmon declined 46 percent (2.7 million pounds) and chinook by 16 percent (696,000 pounds) compared with 1979. California salmon landings decreased from 8.8 million pounds in 1979 to 5.9 million pounds in 1980. Chinook landings declined from 7.6 million pounds in 1979 to 5.6 million pounds and silver salmon went from 1.2 million pounds in 1979 to 300,000 pounds in 1980. The 1980 value ($13.1 million) for salmon in California decreased by 32 percent compared with 1979. SABLEFISH. U.S. commercial landings of sablefish were only 22.1 million pounds valued at $5.4 million in 1980. This was a decline of 26.3 million pounds (54 percent) compared with 1979, a record year, and $9.4 million (64 percent) in value. Landings in all Pacific States declined— California, 8.3 million pounds (down 55 percent); Oregon, 5.9 million (64 percent); Washington, 3.1 millions (48 percent); and Alaska, 4.8 million pounds (down 35 percent) compared with 1979. The average exvessel price per pound in 1980 was 24 cents compared with 31 cents in 1979. TUNA. Landings of tuna in 1980 by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 States, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and other U.S. territories and foreign ports were 500.0 million pounds, valued at $289.3 million, down 2 percent in quantity but up 34 percent in value from 1979. The quantity landed was 10 percent below the average for the previous 5 years. The average exvessel price per pound for all species of tuna for 1980 was 58 cents compared to 42 cents in 1979. Bigeye landings in 1980 were 7.0 million pounds, up from 2.9 million pounds (140 percent) in 1979. The average exvessel price per pound was 58 cents in 1980 compared to 78 cents in 1979. Skipjack landings in 1980 were 235.0 million pounds, up 40.2 million pounds (21 percent) from 1979 and still above the average for the past five years. The average exvessel price per pound in 1980 was 54 cents compared to 37 cents in 1979. Yellowfin landings were 231.6 million pounds in 1980, down 46.4 million pounds (17 percent) from 1979. The average exvessel price in 1980 was 60 cents compared with 44 cents in 1979. Bluefin landings were 8.1 million pounds in 1980, down 7.9 million pounds (49 percent) from 1979. The average exvessel price per pound was 88 cents in 1980 compared to 58 cents in 1979. Almost 80 percent of the tuna landings were at ports in the continental United States (principally California, with 96 percent of continental landings). vm REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard closely regulate fishing for yellowfin tuna by U.S. fishermen in a major producing area of the eastern Pacific Ocean known as the Commission's Yellowfin Regulatory Area (CYRA). The regulation is in response to recommendations of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). CLAMS.

Average exvessel price per pound in 1980 was $3.84 compared with $3.28 in 1979. REVIEW PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 13.0 pounds (edible meat) in 1980. This was 0.2 pound less than the 13.2 pounds consumed in 1979. All of this decrease was in canned fishery products which fell to 4.6 pounds per person, down 0.3 from 1979. Canned tuna was responsible for the total decrease, falling from 3.3 pounds in 1979 to 3.0 in 1980. Fresh and frozen fish and shellfish increased to 8.1 pounds per person in 1980, up 0.1 pound from 1979 and partly offsetting the decrease in canned. Fresh and frozen salmon increased to 0.4 pound per person, up 0.2 pound from 1979. There was also an increase of 0.2 pound in other fish. Balancing out these increases in consumption of fresh and frozen fish was a decline of 0.4 pound in consumption of groundfish fillets and blocks. Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen shellfish moved up 0.1 pound due to a 0.1 pound increase in fresh and frozen crabs. Per capita consumption of cured fishery products, at 0.3 pound, remained the same as last year. It appears that the increases in per capita consumption reflected during the I970's may be reduced due to a considerable increase in the population estimates. The civilian population of the United States was 225.5 million persons on July I, 1980, based on the Census count of April I, 1980. This was considerably higher than the 220.7 million for the same date based on the April I, 1970 census. When the 4.8 million error of closure has been resolved by the Bureau of the Census, estimates of the population for 1971-80 will be adjusted to make them consistent with the 1980 census count. These revisions in population will be reflected in the per capita consumption figures as soon as they become available. For continuity, the population figure, based on the 1970 census count, was used in computing 1980 per capita consumption. In addition to consumption of commercially caught fish and shellfish, recreational fishermen catch and consume an amount estimated to be 3 to 4 pounds (edible meat) per person. PER CAPITA USE. The per capita use of all fishery products, both edible and industrial, was 51.0 pounds (round weight) in 1980, down 2.6 pounds (4.9 percent) from 1979. The reason for the decrease was that imports were down 688.6 million pounds (12.4 percent). The per capita use of edible fishery products was down 4.0 percent and industrial use was down 7.4 percent. PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS FRESH AND FROZEN FISH FILLETS AND STEAKS. In 1980, the U.S. production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks was 173.6 million pounds valued at $239.5 million, 13.5 million pounds and $21.4 million less than the 1979 production. Flounder fillets led all species with 46.9 million pounds or 27.0 percent of the total. Production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, Atlantic pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) was 65.8 million pounds in 1980 compared with 74.6 million pounds produced a year earlier. The production of most fillets and steaks was less in 1980. FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. The combined production of fish sticks and portions was 449.6 million pounds valued at $488.5 million in 1980, compared with a 1979 production of 492.1 million pounds, valued at $529.0 million. The production of all portion items decreased in 1980: breaded cooked by 8.2 million pounds; batter coated cooked by 9.1 million; breaded raw by 10.7 million; and unbreaded portions by 6.9 million pounds, compared with the 1979 production. FISH STICKS. The production in 1980 of 88.4 million pounds valued at $88.5 million was 7.7 million pounds and $1 1.3 million less than the 1979 production. The production of batter coated fish sticks, 18.4 million pounds, registered the largest decline, 8.5 million pounds; breaded cooked 822,000 pounds, but breaded raw increased by 1.7 million pounds. BREADED SHRIMP. The 35 plants reporting to NMFS on a quarterly basis during 1980 produced 81.5 million pounds valued at $259.4 million. In 1979, 42 plants reporting on a quarterly basis produced 93.8 million pounds valued at $293.1 million. The 8 additional firms that reported only on an annual basis in 1979 produced 2.4 million pounds valued at $6.8 million that year. Data on the 1980 production of the plants that report only on an annual basis are not yet available. FROZEN FISHERY TRADE. In 1980, stocks of frozen fishery products in cold storage were at a low of 333.7 million pounds on June 30 and a high of 471.2 million pounds on January I. Cold storage holdings of shrimp products, which were 87.4 million pounds on January 31, dropped to 48.2 million pounds by June 30, and ended the year at 77.8 million pounds on December 31. Fish block holdings reached a high of 62.5 million pounds on January I. By the end of 1980, stocks of fish blocks had declined to 46.7 million pounds. King crab holdings were 34.1 million pounds on January I, but were 37.8 million pounds on December 31, 1980. xi REVIEW PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1980 pack of canned fishery products in the 50 States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was 53.0 million standard cases (1.5 billion pounds) valued at a record $1.9 billion— increases of I.I million standard cases (23.4 million pounds) and $164.3 million compared with the 1979 pack. The 1980 pack included 43.7 million standard cases (1.0 billion pounds) valued at a record $1.8 billion for human consumption and 9.3 million standard cases (448.1 million pounds) valued at $124.2 million for bait and animal food. The packs of herring and herring specialties, mackerel, salmon, tunalike fish, clams and clam products, clam specialties, shrimp, and squid increased in 1980, but the remaining packs of fish and shellfish declined. CANNED SALMON. The 1980 U.S. pack of natural Pacific salmon reached 4.2 million standard cases, (201.6 million pounds) valued at $403.5 million, compared with 3.1 million standard cases (150.1 million pounds) valued at $275.2 million packed a year earlier. For the first time since 1949, the Alaska canned salmon pack topped 4 million cases, led by 1.6 million cases of red or sockeye, and 2.1 million standard cases of pinks. Alaskan plants accounted for more than 99 percent of the quantity and value of the salmon pack. The Alaskan catch was more than 1 10 million fish, about similar to the catch in 1934, when the canned pack was more than 7 million standard cases. However, that was made before the days of frozen salmon and air shipments of fresh salmon to markets in other States. An estimate of between 4 to 6 million pounds of salmon were flown fresh from Alaska to markets throughout the U.S. during the 1980 season. CANNED SARDINES. The pack of Maine sardines (sea herring) was 846,500 standard cases valued at $31.5 million, a decrease of 451,300 standard cases and $13.4 million compared with 1979. An additional pack of herring and herring specialties of 134,900 standard cases valued at $10.5 million was packed in 1980—63,300 standard cases and $5.6 million more than the 1979 pack. The decline in the Maine sardine pack was attributed to larger size fish which were utilized in the pack of herring specialties. CANNED TUNA. The 1980 U.S. pack of tuna was 30.9 million standard cases, (608.4 million pounds) valued at $1.1 billion. This was 528,300 standard cases and 1 1.8 million pounds less than the 1979 pack, however, the value increased by $29.0 million in 1980. The pack of albacore tuna was 5.5 million standard cases in 1980-294,000 standard cases less than the 5.8 million standard cases produced in 1979. Albacore tuna was 18 percent of the pack in 1980. Lightmeat tuna (bigeye, bluefin, skipjack, and yellowfin) comprised the remainder with a pack of 25.4 million standard cases— 235,000 standard cases less than the 25.6 million standard cases packed in 1979. Plants in the United States packed 47.3 percent of the total; American Samoa, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico packed the rest. About 32 percent of the total supply of canned tuna was packed from U.S.-caught fish, and 58 percent from imported fish. Imports of canned tuna made up the remaining 10 percent. CANNED CLAMS. The U.S. pack of clams (whole, minced, chowder, and juice) was 3.0 million standard cases valued at a record $66.0 million compared with 1979. The 1980 pack of whole and minced clams of 788,100 standard cases, which was 59,500 standard cases more than the 1979 pack, accounted for 26 percent of the total pack in 1980. Clam chowder and clam juice (2.3 million standard cases) made up the remaining 1 980 pack. CANNED SHRIMP. The 1980 U.S. pack of natural shrimp was 2.4 million standard cases valued at $71.1 million, 977,400 standard cases and $31.0 million more than the 1979 pack. Plants in Louisiana and Mississippi packed 1.8 million standard cases nearly double the pack of the previous year when only 900,000 standard cases were packed. The remaining pack (644,400) was packed in plants in Alaska and Washington. OTHER CANNED ITEMS. The U.S. pack of mackerel was 824,300 standard cases valued at $1 1.3 million in 1980, 242,200 standard cases and $3.6 million more than the previous year. The pack of tunalike fish (bonito) in 1980 was 227,100 standard cases valued at $4.7 million, compared with 75,500 standard cases, valued at $1.6 million a year earlier. The natural pack of oysters continued to decline. In 1980 less than three plants produced this item. In 1980 the pack of pet food (10 pounds of fish per standard case of 48 one-pound cans) was 9.3 million standard cases valued at $123.2 million, a decline of 660,100 standard cases and $23.6 million compared with the pack in 1979. A decline in the pack of natural tuna, accounted for the decrease in the pack of pet food in 1 980. Tuna accounted for 49 percent of the pet food pack. x1f REVIEW PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1980 value of industrial fishery products produced in the 50 States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was a record $268.8 million, $9.3 million more than the previous record in 1979. In terms of value, the leading States were Louisiana ($96.3 million), followed by Maine ($47.2 million), and Virginia ($27.2 million). FISH MEAL AND SCRAP. Domestic production in 1980 (including shellfish meal) was 361,922 short tons, 12,371 short tons less than the record production of 374,293 short tons produced in 1979. Menhaden meal (271,181 short tons) was 9,632 short tons less than the record production of 280,813 short tons produced in 1979, but still amounted to nearly 75 percent of all the domestic fish meal and shellfish meal produced. The production of anchovy meal (7,834 short tons), tuna and mackerel meal (47,019 short tons), and shellfish meal (6,595 short tons) were down from the 1979 production by 2,072 short tons, 372 short tons, and 4,383 short tons respectively. Unclassified meal (29,293 short tons) consisting mainly of alewives, carp, sea herring, and unclassified fish measured the only increase—4,088 short tons more than the 1979 production. FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles in 1980 (133,682 short tons) was 1,246 short tons less than the 1979 production. Menhaden solubles (99,375 short tons) accounted for more than 74 percent of the total production. FISH OILS. The 1980 domestic production of fish oils set a record in quantity when 311.6 million pounds were produced— 43.6 million pounds more than the 1979 production and 12.3 million pounds more than the previous record set in 1936 when 299.3 million pounds were produced. Menhaden oil production of 291.4 million pounds was 40.1 million pounds more than the 1 979 production and comprised 94 percent of all fish oils produced. Tuna and mackerel oil (4.1 million pounds) and anchovy oil (1.4 million pounds) declined in production in 1980, by 1.3 million pounds and 1.4 million pounds respectively. The production of unclassified oil (14.7 million pounds) was 6.3 million pounds more than the 1979 production. 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 $63.2 million in 1980, compared with $58.8 million in 1979. FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS IMPORTS. The value of U.S. imports of edible fishery products was a record $2,682 million, $14 million higher than the record $2,668 million established in 1979. However, the quantity of edible imports was 225 million pounds less than the 2,369 million pounds imported in 1979. This increase in value for edible imports was mainly due to higher prices for nearly all imported products. Imports were higher in 1980 for fresh and frozen halibut, salmon, tuna other than albacore, and crabmeat, and for canned sardines not in oil, tuna not in oil, bonito and yellowtail in oil and not in oil, and American lobsters. Edible imports in 1980 consisted of 1,868 million pounds of fresh and frozen products valued at $2,320 million, 212 million pounds of canned products valued at $297 million, 58 million pounds of cured products valued at $60 million, and 6 million pounds of other products valued at $5 million. Adding nonedible imports valued at $966 million to the edible products gives total fishery imports in 1980 of $3,648 million. The 1980 value was $177 million less than the record nonedible imports of $1,143 million in 1979. EXPORTS. U.S. exports of edible fishery products of domestic origin exceeded the record established for quantity in 1979. The new record of 573.9 million pounds was 20.3 million pounds more than the 553.6 million pounds exported in 1979. The value of these same exports was $904.4 million in 1980, $115.8 million less than the record value of $1,020.2 million in 1979. Decreases in the value of fresh and frozen fish and shellfish products were responsible for most of the decline. Adding exports of nonedible products valued at $101.8 million to exports of edible products results in total exports of $1,006.2 million in 1980, $76.2 million less than the 1979 exports of $1,082.4 million. xifi U.S. COMMERCIAL LANDINGS U.S. SUPPLY OF EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1971-80 (Round weight) 3 1 1 Total supply 1 I ^<^- CO CO Cn II re. 5 LU ct (— L_> =i 3 co ^ 1 i — i et 'i J! oo O IL.

With the passage of the National Aquaculture Act of 1980, Public Law 96-362, in September 1980, it is incumbent upon the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, and Interior, where appropriate, to undertake a continuing assessment of the U.S. aquaculture industry. The following table presents for the first time U.S. commercial aquaculture production of marine, brackish, and freshwater species. Information on freshwater species was obtained from the Department of Agriculture based on their 1980 catfish and trout survey.

Data for oysters and clams are included in commercial landings. Excluded are eggs, finger lings, etc. which are an intermediate product level. (2) These estimates do not include aquaculture production for all species such as abalone, mussels, striped bass, crawfish et al., which is estimated to be about 12.0 million pounds. Note:— Data shown in this table contain estimates. Some species may not be shown to avoid disclosure of private enterprise. U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES 13 GENERAL. The number of marine recreational fishermen has increased substantially in the last decade. Recent estimates indicate that there are 15- 20 million recreational fishermen in the United States whose combined harvests account for approximately 30-35 percent of the total U.S. finfish harvest used for food. Expenditures by these fishermen for recreational fishing, the value of associated industries (such as tackle, boat and trailer manufacturers, and the party and charter boat industries), and the value of the recreational fishing experience itself are significant components of the U.S. economy. DATA COLLECTION. Detailed statistical information on marine recreational fishing is required to support the objectives of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (MFCMA, PL 94-265). The MFCMA mandates preparation of management plans that promote domestic com- mercial and recreational fisheries, utilizing the best available biological, economic, and social 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 has resulted in an inadequate data base. Previous marine recreational fishing surveys have employed either a survey of fishermen at home (household survey) or a survey of fishermen at the fishing location (creel census or intercept survey.) The majority of these efforts covered limited geographic areas, were seasonal in nature or addressed specific fisheries. The most significant problems of these surveys related to the high cost of the surveys and the reliability of the results. For example, previous surveys required fishermen to recall information up to one year in the past. Biases introduced by the inability of fishermen to accurately recall the number and size of fish caught, and to correctly identify the species caught, raised questions regarding the reliability of the data. These questions together with other inadequacies in statistical design prompted the NMFS to examine ways of improving the survey design to provide more acceptable data. CURRENT APPROACH. An optimum survey design consisting of two independent survey techniques used in 1979 was the result of methodology studies conducted in 1976 and 1977. The chosen design utilized an intercept survey of fishermen and a telephone survey of households. Each technique provided certain information that when combined produced estimates of recreational catch, effort, and participation. The first method of this "complemented" survey approach involved an on-site intercept survey in four fishing modes: beach/bank; party and charter boat; private and rental boat; and fishing from man-made structures. The allocation of interviews over time and by fishing mode was derived from the identification of all fishing sites in coastal counties by fishing activity. Interviews and examination of fishermen's catches were conducted after they had finished fishing or in some cases while they were still fishing. The type of data collected included fishing effort, catch, distribution of catch by species, weights, lengths, mode, and location of fishing. The second method in the complemented surveys approach involved a telephone survey of households. In each coastal State all counties within a specified distance from the coast were included in the sample. The first eight digits of the telephone numbers called were obtained from a computerized data file of in- service residential numbers in each county; the last two digits were randomly generated. Calls were allocated by two-month periods and by county according to estimated fishing activity and population. The type of data collected included the number of fishermen, the number of trips, location of fishing, and mode of fishing for each trip. A two- month recall period was used for the telephone survey since beyond that time the respondents memory concerning dates and locations of trips was not sufficiently reliable. Fishermen were not asked detailed information about catch and effort because of the problem in identifying species caught and in recalling weights and lengths. HOW DATA WAS COMBINED. The household survey collected data from residents with telephones in coastal counties. The intercept survey sample was similar but also included interviews with residents of non-telephone households and of non-coastal coun- ties. During data processing, information collected in the household survey was combined with the intercept survey data to derive expanded estimates of the number of trips taken, the amount of finfish caught (number and weight), and the number of participants in fishing activities. The estimate of the total number of fish caught in the survey includes: (I) those fish brought ashore in whole form which were available for identification, enumeration, weighing, and measuring by the interviewers (Catch Type A); (2) those fish used for bait, discarded dead, given away or brought ashore filleted or in some other dressed form (Catch Type Bl); and (3) those fish released alive (Catch Type B2). In addition to estimating total catch, the survey provides an estimate for the components of total catch as shown in the following diagram. 14 U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES Total Catch Catch available for identification (Catch Type A) Catch not available for identification (Catch Type B) Used for bait, discarded, or filleted, etc. (Catch Type Bl) . Released alive (Catch Type B2) 1979 RESULTS. The first year's survey from November 1978 to October 1979 included the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, Caribbean area (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and the Western Pacific area (Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa.) This survey was extended through December 1979 to cover the calendar year. The second year's survey covered calendar year 1980 and included the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, and the Western Pacific area (including the Northern Mariana Islands.) A I- year survey was started on the Pacific Coast in July 1979 and was later extended to December 1980 in order to coincide with other 1980 surveys. These surveys are planned to continue annually for the next several years. The following data and tables are excerpted from the 1979 report "Marine Recreational Fishery Statistics Survey, Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, 1979." The part of the total catch brought ashore, weighed, and measured equaled 39.2 million pounds (Catch Type A). The part of the total catch representing fishing mortality equaled 346.8 million pounds and is the sum of Catch Type A and Catch Type Bl (307.6 million pounds). The estimated weight of the catch released alive (Catch Type B2) equaled 91.8 million pounds. The estimated grand total weight of 438.6 million pounds is the sum of Catch Type A, Catch Type Bl, and Catch Type B2. Additional data such as State landings and fishing trips are included in the original document (CFS No. 8063; for ordering information see PUBLICATIONS section). Additional reports covering the Caribbean, Pacific, and Western Pacific survey regions are scheduled for publication in 1981.

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 contain- ers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk products and preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 6.

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) = |ndex for each species 1967 average monthly value 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.

In 1979 and 1980 the distribution rate is 51 percent at retail stores, 43 percent at eating places, and 6 percent at institutions. (2) Value-added rate at each level is the weighted average of all fishery products, expressed as a percentage of its corresponding margin. (3) Multiply each item under the total margin column by its corresponding value under the value-added rate column to get the actual value added as contribution to the economy from all production and distribution levels of the U.S. fishing industry in the food fish sector. (4) Value of landings of fish for industrial purposes is deducted. (5) Exports of unprocessed fish are deducted from the value of the landings after being converted to an equivalent value for domestic landings. (6) Processor's purchase value (or domestic sales at the harvesting level) times the processor's markup rate (weighted average for all fishery products is 1.1320 in 1979 and 1.1378 in 1980) equals the margin at the processor's level. (7) Exports of processed products are deducted at their export value from this level. (8) Wholesale purchase value (processors domestic sales and unprocessed products from domestic landings) times the weighted average of markup rates (0.2087 for 1979 and 0.2095 for 1980). (9) In 1979 and 1980, 39.7 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to retailers. This value times the weighted average of markup rates (0.2872 in 1979 and 0.2878 in 1980) at the retail level equals the margin at retail. (10) In 1979 and 1980, 55.3 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to public eating places. At a markup rate of 1.210 for 1979 and 1.200 for 1980, the margin and sales values at this level are obtained. (1 1) A wholesale sales value of 5 percent is distributed to institutions with a markup rate of 0.6530 in 1979 and 0.6520 in 1980; the margin and sales value at this level are then calculated. (12) Consumer expenditures are the total sales value at retail stores, public eating places, and institutions. This total is also the sum of margins of five marketing levels and the landings value after export value is deducted. Note: -The concept and derivation of value-added, markup rates, and consumer expenditures for edible fishery products are discussed in two comprehensive reports: Cost Analyses of U.S. Fish Price Margins, 1972-77, at Different Production and Distribution Levels and Marketing Bill and Its Cost Components of U.S. Food Fish Products, both prepared by Erwin S. Penn (202-634-71 1 1 ) of the Economic Analysis Staff, Office of Policy and Planning, Fx53. A detailed discussion of the procedures for calculating the results of this table appeared in a paper Value Added, Margins, and Consumer Expenditures for Edible Fishery Products in the United States 1976-78, by Erwin S. Penn and Wenona J. Crews, published in the December 1979 issue of the Marine Fisheries Review, NMFS, NOAA. 88 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 equiv- alent basis, without considering beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports (see page 67). Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see page 89). 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, defense purchases, 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.

Source: —NMFS, Fisheries Development Division (F/UD1) THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1980 101 The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA), Public Law 94-265, as amended, December 22, 1980, 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 the equivalent), 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 2 States) to 200 nautical miles from shore. The seaward boundaries of Texas and the Gulf Coast of Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS Under MFCMA, the U.S. Department of State, with cooperation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 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 a copy with recommendations to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The NMFS also receives recommendations from the Regional Fishery Management Councils and the U.S. Coast Guard. 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. FEES Foreign nations (except Canada) 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 1980 were annual charges of $1 per gross registered ton for each vessel engaged in fishing; 50 cents per gross registered ton for each vessel engaged in processing fish (not to exceed $2,500 per vessel); $200 for each ship assisting other vessels in harvesting or processing; and $200 for each vessel in a nonretention fishery. Permit fees must be paid when permit applications are submitted. The poundage fee in 1980 was computed by taking 3.5 percent of the dockside (exvessel) price of fish that are allocated annually to each foreign nation. The value of the fish is based on the dockside price received by U.S. fishermen. For species not landed in the United States, an appropriate foreign dockside price is used. Upon application by a foreign nation at the end of the year, a refund is made for fees paid for unused allocations. In 1980, the United States imposed a surcharge of up to 20 percent on each nation's permit fee and poundage fee, but not on the observer fee. The surcharge is used to capitalize a fund to compensate U.S. fishermen operating in the U.S. FCZ whose vessels are lost or damaged because of foreign vessel activities, or whose fishing gear is lost or damaged by any foreign or domestic vessel or by "Acts of God." 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 will be reviewed during each fishing season. Adjustments to TALFFs will be made based on updated information relating to status of stocks, estimated and actual performance of domestic and foreign fleets, and other relevant factors. 102 MFCMA FMPs and PMPs Under the MFCMA, eight Regional Fishery Management Councils are charged with the obligation to prepare fishery management plans (FMPs) for the fisheries under their jurisdiction. After the Councils develop FMPs, which cover both domestic and foreign fishing efforts, the FMPs are submitted to the Secretary of Commerce for Secretarial approval and implementation. The Department, through NMFS agents, and the U.S. Coast Guard are 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 (PMPs), which only cover foreign fishing efforts, are prepared by the Secretary for each fishery for which a foreign nation requests a permit. The Secretary is also empowered to produce an FMP for any fishery that a Council has not duly produced. In this latter case, the Secretary's plan covers both domestic and foreign fishing. There were 20 major domestic and foreign fisheries under management plan on March 15, I980 - - 12 FMPs and eight PMPs.

PUBLICATIONS 119 PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE FROM NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE, NOAA Shellfish Market Review Food Fish Market Review Fish Meal and Oil Market Review Each of these reports is published on an irregular basis. The reports provide description and analysis of those economic factors affecting markets for fishery products. The narrative includes a review of market trends, both historical and recent, and an outlook for the near future. Statistical tables are presented for landings, production, imports, inventories, supplies, apparent consumption, and prices (exvessel, wholesale, and retail). Operation Price Watch This report is based on an informal NMFS survey of retail prices of fish and other items. The report is published monthly. It includes prices of surveyed items in each of 10 cities and three price indexes (fish, meat, and poultry). Because prices of some items, notably fresh fish, are not regularly available,, they are not included in the 10-city averages, nor in the indexes. The three indexes differ from those published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which conducts separate formal surveys of retail prices for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The reports listed below are studies of the market for underutilized fish in the United States and 16 foreign countries.

Information is available describing foreign and domestic markets for a variety of species of fish and shellfish. Other services include assistance to organize fishery cooperatives, information on foreign tariffs, trade barriers, fishing vessel safety and insurance, and identify needless regulations which erode industry stability and limit its growth. Market reports covering foodfish, shellfish, and industrial fishery products are issued periodically. Consumer services include educational films, fish cooking demonstrations, seafood recipe materials, and bulletins describing nutritional benefits of seafoods. Financial services are available to give fishermen access to private sources of long term financing for fishing vessel construction, reconstruction, and reconditioning (see back cover). A voluntary Federal inspection service is provided for fishery products to ensure that wholesome, safe, and acceptable seafood products are provided for the consumer (see inside back cover).

FISH MEAL. A high-protein animal feed supplement made by cooking, pressing, drying, and grinding fish or shellfish. COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who derives income from catching and selling living resources taken from inland or marine waters. CONSUMPTION OF EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS. Estimated amount of commercially landed fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals 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, and other edible aquatic plants and animals; and excludes exports and purchases by the U.S. Armed Forces. CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RESOURCES. These are living organisms of any sedentary species 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. FISH PORTION.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan de- veloped by a Regional Fishery Management Council to manage a fishery resource pursuant to the MFCMA. FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who spends 50 percent or more of the working year in 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. GROUNDF1SH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the sea floor. The term includes a wide variety of bottomfishes, rockfishes, and flatfishes. However, NMFS sometimes uses the term 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. 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. 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 con- servation 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). 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 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. MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish, shellfish, and other living aquatic organisms caught, but not necessarily brought ashore, by recreational marine anglers. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure, amusement, relaxation, or home con- sumption. If part or all of the catch is sold, the monetary returns constitute an insignificant part of the person's income. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN. Those people who fish in marine waters primarily for recreational purposes. Their catch is primarily for home consumption, although occasionally a part or all of their catch may be sold and enter commercial channels. GLOSSARY 129 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 con- tinuously 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 FISHERIES ORGANI- ZATION (NAFO). This convention, which entered into force January I, 1979, replaces ICNAF. NAFO provides a forum for continued multilateral scientific research and investigation 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. U.S. adherence to the NAFO Convention is anticipated in 1980. MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft 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. PACKAGED FISH. A term used in NMFS publications prior to 1972 to designate fresh or frozen raw fish fillets and steaks. PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who spends less than 50 percent of the working year in 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. 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, for which there is no fishery management plan (FMP). A PMP is replaced by an FMP as soon as the latter is implemented. A PMP applies only to foreign fishing. RETAIL PRICE. The price of fish and shellfish sold to the final consumer by food stores and other retail outlets. ROUND (LIVE) WEIGHT. The weight of fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals as taken from the water; the complete or full weight as caught. 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 (TALFF). The TALFF, if any, with respect to any fishery 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. U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by all U.S. fishery vessels regardless of where landed as opposed to 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 prohibits vessels constructed or registered in foreign countries to land fish catches at U.S. ports. U.S. TERRITORIAL SEA. A zone extending 3 nautical miles from shore for all States except Texas and the Gulf Coast of Florida where the seaward boundary is 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). USE OF FISHERY PRODUCTS. Estimated disappearance of the total supply of fishery products both edible and nonedible on a round-weight basis without considering beginning or ending stocks, exports, military purchases, or shipments to U.S. territories.

Beef and poultry, as well as many other perishable food items, are federally inspected and graded 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 sympols 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 standard under the U.S. GRADE 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, wholesome. safe, and 2. The product is of a specified quality, identified by the appropriate U.S. Grade designation, as determined by a federally - licensed inspector in accordance with established requirements in U.S. Grade Standards. 3. The product was produced in an acceptable establishment with proper equipment and in an appropriate processing environments as required by food control authorities. 4. The product was processed under supervision by federally - licensed food inspectors and packed by sanitary food handlers in accordance with specific Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. in an acceptable establishment with appropriate equipment under the supervision of federally - licensed inspectors. The product has not been graded as to a specific quality level; rather, it is an acceptable commercial quality as determined by Federal inspectors in accordance with approved standards or specifications.

The Fishing Vessel Obligation Guarantee Program is available for financing up to 87^ percent of the cost of constructing, reconstructing, or reconditioning fishing vessels of 5 net tons or over. Maturities of 15 to 25 years are available. The long-term financing available under this program allows fishing vessel owners to stretch the debt service of their vessel construction or refurbishing costs over a period of time equal to the economically useful life of their vessel. Down payments are low and interest costs are reasonable. 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.
