Ford signed the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-168), which estabUshed that the policy of the U.S. Government shall be to coordinate and plan the increasing use of the metric system in the United States. The law also established a U.S. Metric Board to coordinate the voluntary conversion to the metric system. The Metric Board will develop and carry out a broad program of planning, coordination, and public education to implement the policy established by this Act. The Act did not provide the Metric Broad with any compulsory powers. The United States is the only major industrial power that has not fully converted to the metric system. What is the Metric System? The metric system is a standard for weights and measures that is based on the decimal system. All units are multiples of or can be divided by ten and the standards for length, mass, and volume are related. For example, one gram (mass) is measured as the weight of one cubic centimeter of water at its temperature of maximum density and the Uter (volume) is a cubic decimeter. The metric system is simple to learn. There are only ten units one must know for everyday use. Most units can easily be equated with the English system of measure we now use; but there are others, such as temperature, that we will need to get used to. Some metric units, such as time and electricity, are the same as what is in use now. *rhe basic units of the metric system are: the meter-a little larger than a yard (about 1.1 yards), the liter-a little larger than a quart (about 1.06 quarts), and the gram-a little more than the weight of a paper clip. There are three common prefixes used with these units: mill, meaning one-thousandth (0.001); centi, meaning one hundreth (0.01); and kilo meaning one thousand times (1,000). For example, 1,000 millimeters equals one meter, 1 00 centimeters equals one meter, and 1 ,000 meters equals 1 kilometer. Learning the metric system is much easier than learning the EngUsh system. However, in changing from one system to another one tends to think in terms of the old system. Listed below are the units used in the metric system, equivalent units in the English system, and factors for converting from the metric to the English system. from Metric Measures Symbo 1 When You Know Muhiply by To Find Symbol LENGTH mm millimeters 0.04 inches in cm centimeters 0.4 inches in m meters 3.3 feet ft m meters 1.1 yards yd km kilometers 0.6 miles mi AREA cm* square centimeters 0.16 square inches in' m'' square meters 1.2 square yards yd* km'' square kilometers 0.4 square rniles mi* ha hectares( 10,000 m') 2.5 acres MASS (weight) g grams 0.035 ounces oz kg kilograms 2.2 pounds lb t tonnes ( 1000 kg) 1.1 short tons VOLUME ml milliliters 0.03 fluid ounces floz 1 liters 2.1 pints pt 1 liters 1.06 quarts qt 1 liters 0.26 gallons gal m* cubic meters 35 cubic feet ft' m» cubic meters 1.3 cubic yards yd» TEMPERATURE (exact) *C Celsius 9/5 (then Fahrenheit 'P temperature add 32) temperature CURRENT FISHERY STATISTICS NO, 6900 Fisheries of the United States, 1975 PREPARED BY STATISTICS AND MARKET NEWS DIVISION Joseph Pileggi, Chief B.G.

This is a preliminary report on the fisheries of the United States for 1975. The report is a continuation of similar annual reports designed to provide timely answers to frequently asked questions for the year just ended. SOURCES OF DATA. Information presented in this report came from many sources. Data on U.S. landings and processed fishery products were collected and compiled by the Regional Statistics and Market News Divisions of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in cooperation with the various States. The data were tabulated and made ready for publication by the Washington office of the Statistics and Market News Division. Sources of other data appearing in this publication are: the U.S. Bureau of the Census, Customs Service, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Coast Guard, Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE. As in aU past issues of this report the units of quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S. or domestic landings are shown in round weight, unless otherwise noted; quantities shown for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight as reported by the Bureau of the Census, unless otherwise noted; the value of the U.S. or domestic catch is exvessel (see Glossary); the value for U.S. imports generally is 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 generally is the value at the U.S. port of export, based on the selling price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges. PRELIMINARY. Data on U.S. commercial landings are preUminary and unrevised for 1974 and 1975. Final landings data will be published in annual summary bulletins (see page 90, SR series) and later in Fishery Statistics of the United States (Statistical Digest). Data on U.S. production of processed products, employment, cold storage holdings, and prices are preliminary for 1975. Final data on these subjects will be published in annual summaries (see page 90, FF, FM, and MF series) and later in the Statistical Digest. SUGGESTIONS WANTED. Because the Statistics and Market News Division wishes to provide the kinds of data wanted by users of fishery statistics, the Division welcomes any comments or suggestions that will lead to an improvement in the presentation of fishery data.

Commercial fishery landings at ports in the United States were 4.8 billion pounds valued at a record S970.8 million. The quantity landed was 2 percent less than in 1974, and 1 percent less than the average for 1970-74. The value of 1975 landings, which estabUshed a new record, was 8 percent greater than in 1974 and 4 percent greater than 1973, the previous record year. U.S. flag vessels also landed 189.6 million pounds valued at $52.6 million at ports outside the United States in 1975. These landings consisted principally of tuna at ports in Puerto Rico and shrimp at ports in the Caribbean area. U.S. landings for human food were 2,430 milUon pounds valued at $900 mUUon. The quantity was about the same as in previous years, but the value was a record. Landings of the leading foodfish (tuna and salmon) increased slightly, but landings of each of the leading shellfish (shrimp, crabs, and clams) declined moderately. U.S. landings for industrial purposes were 2,412 million pounds valued at $71 million. The quantity was down 4 percent, and the value was down 16 percent. The decline in quantity was due to smaller landings of menhaden. MARINE RECREATIONAL LANDINGS. U.S. marine recreational fishermen in 1970, the most recent year available, taught an estimated 1 .6 billion pounds of marine (saltwater) finfish, or about the same amount of edible marine finfish as commercial fishermen landed in recent years. WORLD LANDINGS. World landings were 154.0 billion pounds (69,845 thousand metric tons) in 1974, the most recent year available. The United States ranked fifth in world commercial landings. The top four countries were Japan, the U.S.S.R., Peoples Republic of China, and Peru. PRICES. Average prices received by U.S. fishermen, which declined in almost aU months of 1974, began an irregular increase in the early months of 1975 and reached near-record levels by the end of the year. Wholesale prices followed a similar upward trend in 1975. PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The value of domestic production of processed fishery products (fresh and frozen, canned, cured, and industrial) was $2,699.0 milUon in 1975, down 2 percent from the record in 1974. The total value of domestic production of edible products was $2,392.7 million in 1975, about the same as in 1974. Declines in value of production of canned tuna and canned salmon were offset by increases in the value of the production of frozen fish portions and breaded shrimp. The value of industrial products was $306.3 milUon in 1975, down 21 percent from 1974, chiefly because of a sharp decline in the value of production of canned pet food and fish meal and oil. FOREIGN TRADE. The value of U.S. imports of edible and noAedible fishery products in 1975 was $1,637.1 miUion, down 4 percent from the record of 1974. Imports of edible products of $1,367.2 million in 1975 were down 9 percent chiefly because of the sharp drop in imports of raw tuna for canning, which more than offset a moderate increase in imports of frozen blocks and fillets. U.S. exports of edible and nonedible fishery products in 1975 were a record $304.7 million, up 16 percent from 1974, due to increased exports of edible fishery products. SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of commercial fishery products (domestic landings plus imports, Uve weight equivalent) was 10.1 billion pounds in 1975, up 3 percent compared to 1974 but down 12 percent from the average for the past 5 years. Imports provided 62 percent of the supply of edible products and 36 percent of the supply of industrial products in 1975. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Preliminary data show the U.S. per capita consumption in 1975, to be 12.1 pounds of fish (meat weight), the same as in 1974.

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS Menhaden landings of 1,802 milUon pounds accounted for 37 percent of total commercial landings in the United States. Tuna was the second most important species in quantity landed in the United States and third in value. Shrimp was the leading species in terms of value of landings in the United States and the third largest in volume. Salmon was the second largest species in terms of value. Louisiana led aU States in volume of landings with 1,125 milUon pounds foUowed by CaUfomia with 850 mUUon; Virginia, 444 milUon; and Alaska, 438 milUon. Alaska led aU States in value of landings with $144 mUUon foUowed by CaUfomia, $129 milUon; Texas, $93 milUon; and Louisiana, $88 milUon. Tuna landings of 177 milUon pounds in Puerto Rico and American Samoa accounted for 98 percent of the landings made by U.S. craft at ports outside the United States. Landmgs of shrimp by U.S. fishing vessels at Central and South American ports accounted for almost aU the rest. ICNAF. Most of the U.S. fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic are subject to regulation by NMFS and the Coast Guard pursuant to recommendations of the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF). At a special meeting of ICNAF in September 1975 agreement was reached on major United States proposals. It was agreed to implement in 1976 the third year of a 3-year overaU catch quota off the U.S. North Atlantic coast at a level of 650,000 metric tons, 200,000 tons less than in 1975. Scientists say such a limit, if properly enforced, may aUow recovery of the overaU biomass vrithin a 7-year period. A key feature is that the overaU quota is a second tier quota imposed over the individual country quotas on specified species or stocks. The second tier quota for each country is set below the sum of the individual species quotas to correct assessment errors and stimulate more selective fishing that wUl minimize by-catch problems. The Commission also agreed on national allocations for the 1976 overall quota. Agreement was also reached on (1) a closure of most of Georges Bank to foreign vessels fishing with bottom gear capable of catching valuable and depleted groun^sh stocks and (2) a proposed national system of registration for vessels engaged in fishing or fish processing in the Convention Area. ICCAT. In the Atlantic Ocean, fishing for bluefin tuna by U.S. anglers and commercial fishermen is closely controUed by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard in response to recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT). Regulations are designed to protect undersize fish (under 14 pounds) and the prime spawning size fish (115-299 pounds). The catch of other sizes is restricted to amounts taken in recent years. Commercial fishing for yeUowfin tuna of less than 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms) is prohibited. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES ANCHOVIES. Landings of anchovies were 330.7 million pounds valued at $7.8 million in 1975. The quantity was up 31 percent compared with 1974 and 72 percent above the average for the previous 5 years. Almost all U.S. landings of anchovies are in California, and by far the largest share of the California catch is used for reduction to fish meal and oil. Most of the remainder is used for live bait. The State of California controls the amount of anchovies that may be caught for reduction purposes. The sharp increase in landings in 1975 was due to a relaxation of CaUfomia regulations to allow more fishing for reduction purposes. FLOUNDERS. Landings of Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific flounders totaled 156.3 miUion pounds worth S43.2 milUon-an increase of 413,000 pounds and $9.1 milUon compared with 1974. The value increase in large part was attributable to the scarcity of the yellowtail flounder which caused prices to rise from an average of $.25 per pound in 1974 to $.35 per pound in 1975. The Atlantic States landings accounted for 67 percent of the total, followed by the Pacific Coast States, 32 percent; and the Gulf States, 1 percent. Landings of Pacific flounders were 50.3 million pounds worth $7.3 million-an increase of 3.3 miUion pounds and $984,000. Ahuost all of the U.S. catch of Atlantic flounders is taken in waters subject to ICNAF catch recommendations (see "Other Important Facts"). The U.S. catch of yellowtail flounder, which has fallen steadily from 72.0 million pounds in 1972 to 43.1 million pounds in 1975, has been the subject of great concern. ICNAF has sharply reduced the yellowtail catch quota for all nations and given the United States almost all (99 percent) of the total allowable catch in 1975 and 1976 in waters off the U.S. Atlantic Coast. GROUNDFISH. Landings of Atlantic groundfish and similar species (cod, cusk, haddock, hakes, Atlantic ocean perch, pollock, and whiting) were 181.3 million pounds valued at $29.4 million, up 6 percent in volume and 24 percent in value compared with 1974. Larger landings of haddock, hakes, pollock, and whiting were reponsible for the increase. Cod landings of 55.9 milUon pounds worth $13.1 mUlion were the leading groundfish in terms of quantity and value. Landings of whiring were 42.4 million pounds in 1975-an increase of 44 percent compared with the disastrous 1974 landings of 29.5 milUon pounds. Atlantic ocean perch landings declined 23 percent compared with 1974. Landings of Pacific groundfish and similar species (cod, hakes, ocean perch, and rockfishes) were 57.2 million pounds valued at $7.7 million. Larger landuigs of all species caused an increase of 34 percent in quantity and 25 percent in value. All of the Atlanric groundfish are subject to quotas recommended by ICNAF (see "Other Important Facts"). In 1976 the United States was allocated for the Georges Bank area (ICNAF Area 5) 65 percent of the cod catch, 76 percent of the ocean perch catch, 17 percent of the red hake catch, and 26 percent of the silver hake (whiting) catch. The U.S. allocation of pollock in 1976 for Area 5 and seaward in Area 4 VWX was 21 percent of the total allowable catch by all nations. The U.S. allocation of haddock in 1976 for Area 5 and seaward in Area 4X was 28 percent of the total allowable catch. The haddock allocations pertain to by -catch only. There is no directed fishery for haddock. HALIBUT. U.S. landings of halibut were 21.6 miUion pounds valued at $14.5 milUon in 1975, up 17 percent in quantity and 55 percent in value compared with 1974. This increase is the first since 1970. Slightly over 90 percent of total U.S. halibut landings were made in Alaska. Almost aU of the remainder was landed in Washington. The U.S. Pacific fishery for haUbut extends from the Pacific Northwest to the Bering Sea. Management of the halibut fishery of the United States and Canada in this area is coordinated through the International Pacific HaUbut Commission (IPHC). Fishing by United States and Canadian fishermen is restricted to hooks. In recent years the halibut stocks in some areas have been substantiaUy reduced through the incidental catch by the trawl (net) fisheries of other nations. Through international negotiation, foreign trawUng of halibut nureery grounds now has been reduced. To further ensure the recovery of haUbut stocks the IPHC several years ago reduced the total annual catch Umit for U.S. and Canadian fishermen. IPHC also increased the minimum size limit. In 1975 there was evidence that halibut abundance was improved over previous years in aU areas except the Bering Sea. HERRING, SEA. Landings of Atlantic and Pacific sea herring were 119.3 miUion pounds worth $5.6 milUon. This was only sUghtly less than the previous year's catch of 1 20.3 miUion pounds, but more than $5.3 milUon less in value. The Atlantic catch of 79.7 miUion pounds valued at $2.7 mUUon accounted for 67 percent of the total landings and about half of the total value. Pacific landings were 39.6 mUUon pounds valued at $2.9 mUUon. The U.S. commercial fishery for Atlantic sea herring is subject to U.S. regulations that comply with recommendations of the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF). Because sea herring stocks have been severely depleted, ICNAF has sharply reduced catch quotas for sea herring for the United States and other countries. MENHADEN. Landings of Gulf and Atlantic menhaden in 1975 were 1,802.7 milUon pounds valued at $49.3 milUon (exvessel) a decUne of 9 percent in quantity and 26 percent in value compared to 1974. The sharp drop in value reflects a decline in prices for fish meal and fish oil from the abnormally high levels of 1974. Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1,197.0 milUon pounds in 1975, down 99 miUion pounds compared with 1974, but the third largest on record. Fishing effort in the Gulf in terms of thousands of vessel ton weeks was the highest on record, but poor fishing weather during the season may have been one factor that held down landings. Landings of Atlantic menhaden were 605.8 miUion pounds in 1975, down 11 percent from 1974. Fishing effort was down slightly and there was a poor showing of fish in New England, Middle Atlantic, and Chesapeake fishing grounds. About 97 percent of the Atlantic and Gulf landings were used for reduction to fish meal, oU, and solubles In 1975. Most of the remainder was used for fish bait. A smaU amount was canned for animal food. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES PACIFIC SALMON. Pacific salmon landings were 201.6 million pounds worth SI 16.3 million-a gain of 4.8 million pounds but a decrease of $5.0 million compared with 1974. The harvest was the second smallest since 1915 when 120.4 million pounds were taken, and 76.8 miUion pounds below the 1970-74 5-year average of 278.4 miUion pounds. Landings of pink salmon (56.2 mUUon pounds) increased 50 percent and chinook salmon (31.3 milhon pounds) increased 16 percent. The increase in these two species offset the marked decUne in chum or silver salmon and smaller decUne in red salmon. The decrease in value resulted mainly from the lower prices received by fishermen at dockside for all species of salmon landed in Washington and Oregon. Landings in Alaska increased 7 percent in volume and accounted for 68 percent of the total salmon landings in 1975. Landings of pink salmon in Alaska (48.0 million pounds) increased 29 percent and red salmon (42.8 milhon pounds) increased 23 percent compared with 1974. There were stronger than anticipated returns of lower Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound pinks, Bristol Bay sockeye, and Arctic- Yukon— Kuskokwim chum. The effects of the severe winters of 1970-71 and 1971-72 on spawning areas continue to depress runs in Southeastern Alaska, Kodiak, Chignik, and the south side of the Alaska Peninsula areas. Washington accounted for 22 percent of the total salmon landings and was the only other State which showed a shght increase. Landings of chinook salmon in Washmgton (10.5 million pourids) increased 30 percent, and pink salmon increased from 6,000 pounds in 1974 to 8.0 miUion pounds in 1975. TUNA. Tuna landings in the United States, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa were a record 568.2 miUion pounds worth $152.8 miUion-a gain of 17.1 million pounds but a decrease of $10.9 miUion compared with 1974, the record year for value. Principal reason for the larger harvest was a 7.3 milhon pound (52 percent) increase in landings of bluefin tuna and a 6.0 miUion pound (4 percent) increase in landijigs of skipjack tuna. There were smaller increases in landings of albacore and yellowfin tuna. Lower exvessel prices paid to fishermen in 1 975 accounted for the value decrease. About two-thirds of the landings made by the U.S. fleet were at ports in the continental United States and Hawaii, and one-third in Puerto Rico. A small quantity of tuna was landed at American Samoa. Landings in the continental United States and Hawaii were the second largest oil record-391.1 mUhon pounds, 5.0 miUion pounds more than in 1 974. Record landings in Puerto Rico of 1 76.4 miUion pounds were 11.4 miUion pounds more than in 1974. Atlantic-caught tuna comprised 30 percent of total unloadings in Puerto Rico. There were no Atlantic-caught tuna unloaded at California in 1975. YeUowfin tuna fishing by U.S. fishermen is closely regulated by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard in a major producing area of the eastern Pacific Ocean. The regulation is in response to recommendations of the Inter-Ajrnerican Tropical Tuna Commission (lATTC). In the Commission's YeUowfin Regulatory Area (CYRA) the total yeUowfin quota for member nations in 1975 was 175,000 short tons with aUowances for two increments of 10,000 tons each should data from the fishery warrant such increases. In 1975 the CYRA season on yeUowfin opened on January 1 . The quota was easily reached, and the season was closed March 27. During the closed season the lATTC aUowed small vessels (400 tons carrying capacity, aU member nations) to catch 6,000 tons of yellowfin. The Commission also granted permission to one member nation to catch an additional 10,000 tons of yeUowfin during the closed season. Shown below are preliminary data of the yeUowfin catch by the international fleet taken in the CYRA. Country United States . Mexico . . . . Ecuador . . . . Canada . . . . Panama . . . .

CRABS. Landings of all species of crabs were 301.0 rmllion pounds worth $84.1 mUUon-down 9 percent in volume, but up 1 percent in value compared with 1974. Lower landings of hard blue crabs and snow crabs more than offset a shght increase in king crab landings. The gain in value was caused principally by general mcreases in exvessel prices. Landings of hard blue crabs were 130.8 milUon pounds-down 8 percent from 1974. In the Chesapeake States landings of hard blue crabs (59.1 mUUon pounds) decreased 8 percent, and in the South Atlantic States (30.8 miUion), 10 percent. However, the Middle Atlantic States harvest of 6 million pounds was up 41 percent and the Gulf States harvest of 34.5 mUUon was 24 percent more than in 1974. Virginia led in production with 34.8 miUion pounds, foUowed by Maryland with 24.2 mUUon and Louisiana with 17.1 miUion pounds. The three States together accounted for 58 percent of the total landings of hard blue crabs. Dungeness crab landings were 16.0 miUion pounds worth $10.3 miUion-about the same quantity as in 1974 but 4 percent more in value. King crab landings (100.1 million pounds) increased 3 percent, and were the highest since 1968. The snow crab fishery (46.2 miUion pounds) showed a 28-percent decrease in landings in 1975, mainly because of poor market conditions and high inventories in cold storage. A price dispute between fishermen and buyers almost halted snow crab fishmg during part of the 1975 fishing season. CLAMS. Landings of hard, soft, surf, and other clams were 111.0 miUion pounds, worth a record $41.0 million-a decUne of 7 percent in volume, but an increase of 5 percent in value compared with 1974. The principal reason for the decUne in harvest was a 10 percent or 9 miUion pound decline in landings of surf clams. Virginia led in surf clam landings with 39.1 miUion pounds-33 percent less than in 1974. New Jersey was second with 35.6 miUion pounds of meats. The two States together accounted for 86 percent of the total surf clam harvest in 1975. REVIEW IMPORTANT SPECIES Surf clam landings were the highest in history in 1973-75. There is a question about the ability of the resource to sustain landings at this level. Early in 1976 the New Jersey Division of Fish, Game, and Shell fisheries established size regulations on surf clams, a management measure sanctioned by the State/Federal Regional Surf Qam Management Program. Opposition was overwhelming. Based on the results of the public hearing held on February 3 and written comments received before February 1 0, New Jersey will decide whether to keep or abolish the new clam regulation. Landings of hard clams yielded 14.8 million pounds of meats-! percent less than in 1974. New York was first as usual with 8.7 miUion pounds-59 percent of the total hard clam harvest. New Jersey with 1.6 milUon pounds was the other principal producing State. Landings of soft, clams yielded 8.8 million pounds of meats-an increase of 2 percent compared with 1974. The gain was mostly in the New England States where Maine landings of 6.5 miUion pounds were 10 percent more than in 1974. Green crabs continued to invade the Maine coast in 1975. There is major concern now for the small soft sheU clam that is a principal source of food for the crab. LOBSTERS, AMERICAN. Landings of American lobsters were 29.0 miUion pounds worth $49.1 million-an increase of 3 percent in volume and 16 percent in value compared with 1974. Fishermen received an average price of nearly SI. 69 per pound in 1975 compared with SI. 50 in 1974. Landings declined moderately in the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake States, but increased slighfly in the New England States, in Maine, the principal producing State, landings of 17.0 million pounds were 560,000 pounds more than in 1974. LOBSTER, SPINY. The spiny lobster harvest decUned to 7.7 mUlion pounds worth S9.9 mUlion-a decrease of 40 percent in volume and 35 percent in value compared with 1974. Landings in Florida, the leading State, declined to 7.5 milUon pounds in 1975. This decrease from 1974 was the result of a lesser catch being taken from the Keys and the permanent closing of Bahama waters to Florida fishermen on August 1, 1975. In recent years, approximately 40 percent of all landings of spiny lobster in Florida were caught in the Bahama waters. The closure of the Bahama waters is expected to curtail the Florida fishing industry for years to come. Fishermen received an average price per pound of $1.30-about 11 cents more than in 1974. Florida accounted for over 97.4 percent of the total spiny lobster production. The California commercial harvest of 165,000 pounds was 15 percent less than in 1974, and the second smallest since 1888. OYSTERS. Landings yielded 53.2 miUion pounds of meats worth $42.7 mUUon-an increase of 18 percent in volume and 27 percent in value compared with 1974. Production decUned in the New England, Chesapeake, and South Atlantic States, but increased sUghtiy in the Middle Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coast States. The Chesapeake States led in production with 21.5 mUUon pounds of meats, followed by the Gulf States with 19.6 mUUon pounds. In the Chesapeake fishery, Maryland was first in production with 16.0 miUion pounds-down slightly from 1974. Recruitment in the Maryland fishery has been poor in recent years. In 1974 Maryland State officials opened areas that previously had been closed. This action is expected to increase production substantiaUy in the future. In Virginia, landings were 5.5 milUon pounds-a decrease of 2 percent compared with the previous year. In the Gulf States, Louisiana led in production with 13.6 miUion pounds, foUowed by the west coast of Florida with 2.5 miUion, and Texas with 1.8 milUon pounds. SCALLOPS. Landings yielded a total of 13.1 miUion pounds of meats worth $22.4 milUon-a gain of 3.9 miUion pounds (42 percent) and S8.9 milUon (67 percent) compared with 1974. Sea scallop landings of 9.7 million pounds of meats worth a record $18.0 million increased 49 percent in volume and 82 percent in value compared with 1974. New England landings yielded 7.1 million pounds-the best production since 1968 when 7.9 miUion pounds were landed in this area. Massachusetts sea scallop landings of 5.4 miUion pounds valued at SI 0.2 miUion increased 32 percent in volume and 59 percent in value compared with 1974. The exvessel price per pound of $1.85 increased 33 cents compared with the previous year. Landings of sea scallops in New Bedford, the leading sea scallop port, were up sharply in 1975 because of increased landings from the Middle Atlantic grounds off New Jersey. These grounds, which in past years provided about 6 months fishing, were fished for up to 10 months by regular sea scallop vessels in 1975. The Middle Atlantic grounds provided 64 percent of New Bedford sea scallop landings in 1975 compared with 50 percent in 1974. The Georges Bank area provided most of the remainder. Bay scaUop landings were 1.9 mUUon pounds valued at $3.5 milUon in 1975. This was a decrease of 5 percent in volume, but an increase of 12 percent in value compared with 1974. CaUco scallop landings at Florida ports yielded 1.4 milUon pounds of meats valued at $812,000-an increase of 775,000 pounds and $468,000 compared with 1974. SHRIMP. Landings were 343.6 mUlion pounds (heads-on) valued at a record S226.2 milUon to the fishermen. This was a decUne of 26.0 miUion pounds, but an increase of $48.4 milUon, compared with 1974. For the fourth consecutive year, Alaska led aU States in landings with 98.3 pounds-down 9 percent from the previous year. Texas was the leading State in value with $87.9 milUon, and the second State in production with 70.6 milUon pounds. Louisiana was second in value with $41 milUon, and third in landings with 53.1 million pounds. The Gulf States accounted for 49 percent of the total shrimp landings and 79 percent of the total value in 1975. Landings at Gulf Coast ports were 170 miUion pounds in 1975, a decrease of 8 percent compared with 1974, but the value of $178.3 milUon increased 30 percent compared with 1974. Short suppUes caused exvessel prices to steadily increase throughout the year. Brown shrimp, the mainstay of the industry in recent years, experienced the greatest setback in landings. Gulf States biologists said that flood waters, which caused low saUnity and abnormaUy low water temperatures during the post-larval stage, were responsible for a low survival rate of the juvenUe brown shrimp. Shrimp landings in the Pacific Coast States were 136.9 miUion pounds worth $14.5 mUUon-a decrease of 2.5 miUion pounds and S2.3 milUon in value compared with 1974. Alaska led in volume with 98.3 milUon pounds. foUowed by record landings in Oregon (24.0 milUon pounds) and Washington (9.7 milUon pounds). New England landings of 11.7 mUUon pounds worth S3.1 miUion decUned 34 percent in volume and 45 percent in value compared with 1974. The decUne was due to a number of factors including overfishing ui the pre\ious seasons, price disputes, and closure by Maine officials of the Maine summer shrimp fishery to help restore depleted stocks. REVIEW PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 12.1 pounds (edible weight) in 1975, the same as in 1974. It was the fourth consecutive year fish consumption remained above 1 2 pounds per person. In 1975, fresh and frozen consumption increased to a record 7.5 pounds per person-0.7 pound more than in 1974. Offsetting the increase in fresh and frozen items was a decline of 0.6 pound in the consumption of canned items-from 4.8 pounds in 1974 to 4.2 pounds in 1975. This was the second year in a row showing a decUne m canned consumption. Canned tuna, sardines, and shellfish each fell by 0.2 pound. Per capita consumption of sahnon remained at the 1974 level. Consumption of cured fish was 0.4 pound per person in 1975~down 0.1 pound from 1974. PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS FRESH AND FROZEN FISH FILLETS AND STEAKS. In 1975 the U.S. production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks was 117.7 milUon pounds valued at $121.7 milhon to the processors. Compared with the 1974 production of 135.5 million pounds valued at $119.8 milUon, this was a decUne of 17.8 mUUon pounds but an increase of $1.9 milUon. Total production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) was 38.8 milUon pounds in 1975 compared with the previous year's production of 48.5 miUion pounds. Lower landings of Atlantic ocean perch in 1975 were a contributing factor to the decline in groundfish fiUet production. The U.S. production of blocks is not shown separately by species but is included in fillet production data for each species. Total production of blocks in 1975 was 2.2 milUon pounds valued at $1.5 miUion, down 51 percent in quantity and 32 percent in value compared with 1974. FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. Combmed production of fish sticks and portions was 384.6 milUon pounds valued at $274.1 miUion in 1975, an increase of 1 percent in quantity and 6 percent in value compared with 1974. Production of fish portions was 293.7 milUon pounds valued at a record $212.1 milUon. The quantity produced was 6 percent above 1974, and was the second largest on record. Fish stick production, which continued its downward trend in 1975, was 91.0 milUon pounds valued at $61.9 million, 28.4 percent less than the record production of 1973, and 22.4 percent less than the record value for the same year. BREADED SHRIMP. The 1975 production of breaded shrimp of 91.8 milUon pounds valued at $165.4 miUion was about the same in quantity as that produced in 1974, but the value increased by $22.8 milUon. Production in 1974 and 1975 was the lowest in the past 10 years. FROZEN FISHERY TRADE. In 1975, monthly holdings of frozen fish and shellfish by cold storage warehouses reporting to NMFS were at a high of 401.8 million pounds on January 31 and a low of 296.4 milUon pounds on June 30. Holdings of frozen shrimp products (raw, headless, breaded, peeled, and unclassified) were highest on January 31 when 75.3 milUon pounds were in storage and lowest on August 31 when 46.7 milUon pounds were in storage. Freezings of fish and sheUfish were 299.7 milUon pounds-a decline of 12 percent compared with 1974 and weU below the record 410.4 milUon pounds frozen in 1973. It is estimated that landings of 468.8 milUon pounds (Uve weight) of fish and shellfish were required for the frozen production in 1975. CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1975 pack of canned fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was the smallest since 1969. The pack was 47.6 milUon standard cases (1.3 bilUon pounds) with a value reported by the canning companies of $1,034.9 miUion, down 17 percent in quantity and 21 percent in value compared with 1974. Included in the 1975 total are 36.6 miUion standard cases for human consumption, and 1 1 .0 milUon standard cases for bait and animal food. The largest losses in the 1975 pack were canned tuna, which was down 6.6 mUUon standard cases or 20 percent; canned animal food, down 1 .3 milUon standard cases or 1 1 percent; canned shrimp, down 1 .3 mUUon standard cases or 39 percent; and salmon, down 466 thousand cases or 25 percent. The pack of a few species increased. These included Maine sardines and canned tunaUke fish, principaUy bonito. REVIEW PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS - continued CANNED SALMON. The 1975 pack of Pacific salmon was the smallest pack since 1906. The pack was slightly less than 1.4 million standard cases valued at $102.4 million, a decline of 466,000 standard cases and $34.6 miUion compared with 1974. All of the States canning salmon in 1975 registered declines. Pink salmon registered the only increase in the 1975 pack of salmon, from 527,237 standard cases in 1974 to 618,516 standard cases in 1975. Chum salmon showed the sharpest decUne, 409,446 standard cases in 1974 to 110,881 standard cases in 1975. A better than expected ran of reds in Bristol Bay moderated the drop in the pack of red salmon to a 10 percent decline. Despite the small pack, exports of canned salmon increased from 8.3 million pounds in 1974 to 22.5 milUon pounds in 1975. During the first part of 1975 tuna canners were faced with record inventories in part because of the record U.S. tuna pack in 1974. Canners cut back on their use of imported tuna in order to reduce inventories. This was followed by a dechne in prices paid to U.S. fishermen beginning about April 1975; by July the dechne had ended and prices had stabilized, but at levels appreciably below 1974. In July 1975 the exvessel price of albacore was $675 per ton, down 18 percent from December 1975; bluefin, $480 per ton, down 14 percent; skipjack, S450 per ton, down 17 percent; and yellowfin, $500 per ton, down 13 percent. At these prices U.S. tuna fishermen continued fishing and succeeded in landing a record amount of tuna. This precluded any substantial increase of raw tuna imports during the remainder of 1975. SARDINES. The 1975 pack of Maine sardines (sea herring) was 1.1 million standard cases valued at $24.9 million, up 3 percent in quantity and 1 5 percent in value. CANNED TUNA. In 1975 the pack of tuna, 27.0 milhon standard cases (529.4 milUon pounds) valued at $651.3 million was the fourth highest pack on record and the third in value. The pack was down 20 percent and the value down 21 percent when compared with the record year of 1974. The pack of white meat (albacore) comprised 19 percent of the pack in 1975, down from 24 percent in 1974. The pack of lightmeat tuna (skipjack, yellowfin, bluefin, and bigeye) comprised 81 percent (21,802 milUon standard cases in 1975, up from 76 percent in 1974. The plants in Washington, Oregon, and CaUfomia packed 46 percent of the total and plants in American Samoa, Hawaii, Maryland, and Puerto Rico the remainder. Canned tuna packed from landings by U.S. fishermen was a record 269.1 million pounds, up 9 percent from 1974. The pack of tuna from imported raw tuna was 260.3 million pounds, down 37 percent from 1974. The year 1975 was the first since 1961 that the pack from domestic sources was greater than the U.S. pack from imported tuna. CANNED CLAMS. The 1975 pack of clams and clam products was 3.1 milUon cases valued at $45.1 miUion, 13 percent less in quantity and 7 percent less in value than in 1974. This decline was due to a drop in the pack of canned chowder and juice, which more than offset a small gain in the pack of whole and minced clams. CANNED SHRIMP. The 1975 natural pack of shrimp was 2.0 mUUon standard cases valued at $26.0 mUUon, down 39 percent in volume and 42 percent in value compared with 1974. This large decUne was due to a number of factors, among which were heavy inventories carried over from 1 974 and rising costs of operation. In Alaska, which accounts for almost half the U.S. pack, more shrimp was diverted to the frozen product than in the previous year. CANNED PET FOOD. In 1975 the pack of pet food (10 pounds of fish per standard cases of 48 one-pound cans) was 10.9 milUon standard cases valued at $130.1 miUion. This was 1.3 miUion standard cases and $44.5 mUUon less than in 1974. Tuna scrap is used in producing canned animal (pet) food, and with the production of canned tuna down, this resulted in a lower pet food pack. In some instances processors increased the content of fish in their pack. REVIEW in OS C/5 H U D Q O >- u 1-1-4 =3 s! S o Q 3 w Q H Z o o 4 REVIEW PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. The value of the 1975 production of mdustrial fishery products in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was $166.6 million-S32.2 milUon less than the $198.8 million produced in the previous year. In terms of value, the leading producing State was Louisiana ($49.8 million), foUowed by CaUfomia ($47.0), and Virginia ($13.2 miUion). FISH MEAL AND SCRAP. Domestic production including shellfish meal was 290,340 tons-1 0,374 tons less than the previous year. Menhaden meal, (191,443 tons) accounted for 65.9 percent of the fish meal production and was 12,416 tons less than the 203,859 tons produced in 1974. Production of tuna and mackerel meal (a byproduct of canning) was 37,209 tons in 1975 compared with 48,244 tons in 1974. This reduction was attributed to a drop in the production of canned tuna. FISH OILS. The United States production of fish oils reached 245.7 million pounds, 3 percent more than a year earUer and the highest since 1971. A sharp increase in the production of anchovy oil contributed to this improvement. FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles was 127.9 tons valued at $8.8 miUion, down 7 percent in quantity and 25 percent in value compared with 1974. OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. Oyster sheU products (grit and Ume) were valued at $5.8 million in 1975 compared with $4.7 mUlion in 1974. The value of other industrial products was $53.9 miUion compared with $48.9 million in 1974. These other industrial products included agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells processed for food serving, fish pellets, Irish moss extract, kelp products, shark leather products, liquid fertiUzer, and pearl essence. FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS IMPORTS. Total U.S. imports of edible and nonedible fishery products were $1,637.1 million in 1975, a decrease of 4 percent compared with the record imports of 1974. The slight decUne is attributable to a decline in edible imports, which more than offset a rise in imports of nonedible products. Imports of edible products were 1,913.1 million pounds valued at $1,367.2 million in 1975, down 353.8 million pounds (16 percent) and $128.2 miUion (9 percent) compared with 1974. The largest part of this decrease was caused by a sharp decline in imports of fresh and frozen tuna. In 1975 imports of fresh and frozen tuna were 478.6 million pounds, down 310.8 miUion pounds (3V percent) from the 1974 figure of 789.4 million pounds. Decreases also occurred in imports of fresh and frozen shrimp (12 percent), canned salmon (62 percent), and canned sardines (55 percent). Imports of canned tuna decUned slightly (2 percent). Imports of fresh and frozen fillets, on the other hand, showed a sharp rise, increasing to 367.9 million pounds in 1975, up 17 percent compared with 1974 and the third largest on record. Imports of blocks and slabs, used almost entirely to make sticks and portions, were 313.5 miUion pounds in 1975, up 18 percent over 1974 and also the thud largest on record. Imports of nonedible fishery products were a record $269.9 miUion, 25 percent above 1974. Contributing to this increase were larger imports of fish meal, which rose to 236.7 miUion pounds, up 73 percent. The major factors associated with increased imports of fish meal were the increased availabiUty of fish mealin Peru (the principal supplier), higher fish meal prices in the United States than in Europe, and an increase in demand by the chief users-broUer chicken producers. EXPORTS. Exports of edible and nonedible domestic fishery products were a record $304.7 mUUon in 1975, up 16 percent over 1974. This record was caused by rising prices and exports of near-record quantities of edible fishery products. Exports of edible fishery products, which account for the bulk of aU fishery exports, were 218.2 mUUon pounds valued at a record $267.4 miUion, up 23 percent in quantity and 37 percent in value compared with 1974. Most of this increase was attributed to increased exports of salmon products. Exports of fresh or frozen salmon were 48.2 miUion pounds valued at S66.9 mUlion in 1975, up 72 percent in quantity and 91 percent in value. Exports of canned salmon were 22.5 mUUon pounds valued at $34.6 milUon, up 170 percent in quantity and 161 percent in value. These increased exports reflected decUnes in the 1975 catch of salmon by other salmon exporting countries. Exports of nonedible products were $37.4 miUion, a decrease of 44 percent compared with 1974. A sharp drop in exports of fish oil was responsible for much of the decUne. A primary factor in this decline was the greater availabUity of fish oU from competing export countries. 10 REVIEW SUPPLY OF EDIBLE AND INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1966-75 (Billion pounds, round weight) 16 12 0 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 SUPPLY OF EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS, 19 66-75 (Billion pounds, round weight) Total supply- Commercial landings 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 U.S. COMMERCIAL LANDINGS 11 U.S„ COMMERCIAL LANDINGS, BY SPECIES, 1974 AND 1975 (1) Species 1974 1975 5-year aver- age 1970-74 Alewives : Atlantic and Gulf Great Lakes Anchovies Bluefish.

S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. 68 PRICES RETAIL PRICES Estimated retail prices of fishery products are collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, for use in the food component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI is based on prices from a sample of 39 standard metropoUtan statistical areas and 1 7 small cities collected to represent all urban areas of the United States, ranging in size from cities with a population of 2,500 to New York City. Agents collect monthly food prices from chain and independent retail food stores that voluntarily report their selling prices. Prices are those in effect on the day of the agent's visit and include any sale or weekend special prices which are offered on that day. The Bureau's agents use a description defining the quaUty or grade and size range for each food item for which prices are collected. All prices are converted to a standard unit and population weights are employed in obtaining U.S. average prices for all areas combined.

Estimate is constructed using the 1973 U.S. Input-Output table (from "Economic Impacts of the U.S. Commercial Fishing Industry" published by NMFS) for the proportion of 1973 cash value sold directly into trade channels. This is adjusted to current cash value levels. (2) Value is c.i.f. (cost. Insurance, freight) at dock, and is an estimate con- structed by using the 1973 U.S. Input-Output table for the ratio of reprocessed to products sold directly into trade channels. This is adjusted to the current value of imports. (3) Includes pro- cessed fish exported and goods processed domestically with imported inputs, but excludes fish sold directly into trade channels. Estimate derived from the 1973 U.S. Input-Output table for the ratio of domestic to imported raw materials. This is adjusted to the value of the total processed. (4) Includes fish sold directly into trade channels, but excludes exported fishery products. Estimate constructed using U.S. ratio of wholesale to retail output, all industries, to determine the markup between wholesale and retail levels (the division between wholesale and retail is not broken out in U.S. Input-Output tables). (5) Includes fish sold directly into trade channels but data exclude ex- ported fishery products. Estimate is constructed using the 1973 U.S. Input-Output table for the ratio of retail value to the value of processed fish and fish sold directly into trade channels. This ratio is adjusted to the current value of processed including items sold directly into trade channels. This is then adjusted to reflect any changes in the retailing markup. (6) Value is arrived at by substracting line la from line 3, for domestic; and by substracting line 2a from line 3 for imports. (7) Value is arrived at by substracting lines 3 and lb from line 4 for domestic; and by substracting line 3 from line 4 for imports. (8) Value is arrived at by substracting line 4 from line 5 for both domestic and imports.

Per capita utilization figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see p. 71). Per capita consumption figures represent edible (for human use) meat-weight consumption rather than round weight consumption. In addition, tlae determination of per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and ending stocks, exports, and defense purchases, whereas the determination of utihzation does not include such allowances. Per capita utilization is derived by using total population including armed forces overseas, and per capita consumption is derived by using civihan resident population.

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. Sea food 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 the USDC inspection which evaluates their raw materials, ensures the hygenic preparation of products, and certifies the final quality and condition of the product. The USDC inspector functions as an objective observer in evaluating processing techniques 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 Federal inspectors of the Department of Commerce inspected, graded, and certified the products as having met all the requirements of the 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 "U.S. GRADE" MARK. Grade" mark signifies that: The "U.S. The product is wholesome. clean, safe, and The product is of a specified quality, identified by the appropriate U.S. Grade designation, as determined by a Federal inspector in accordance with established requirements in U.S. Grade standards. The product was produced in an acceptable establishment with proper equipment and in an appropriate processing environment as required by food control authorities. The product was processed under supervision by Federal food inspectors and packed by sanitary food handlers in accordance with specific Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. The product is truthfully and accurately 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 Federal 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 witli approved standards or specifications.
