PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1979

This is a preliminary report for 1979 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
1979. All data on foreign catches are preliminary. Data on
U.S. cold storage holdings, employment, prices, and
production of processed products are preliminary for
1979. Final data will be published in annual summaries
(see section on publications, p. 109) and later in Fishery
Statistics of the United States.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING

UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE

A section of this publication briefly describes the
1978-79 survey of the Nation's marine recreational fishery.
The final report on this survey will be available later in
1980. Also discussed are the national saltwater angling
surveys of 1960, 1965, and 1970; the 1974 Northeastern
Regional Survey; and the 1975 Southeastern Regional
Survey.

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. 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 Defense, U.S. Department of the
Interior, U.S. General Services Administration, Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations,
and the countries fishing in the U.S. FCZ.

Citations of notices in the Federal Register (FR) are
abbreviated with the volume number followed by the first
page of the notice, as follows: 42 FR 12386. Distribution
of the Federal Register is made only by the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402.

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

REVIEW

U.S. LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and
industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 States
were a record 6.3 billion pounds valued at a record
$2.2 billion in 1979, up 4 percent in quantity and 20
percent in value compared with 1978, the previous
record year. These increases, in large part, reflect
sharply higher salmon landings end record prices for
most species.

Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports
outside the 50 States were an additional 157.6 million
pounds valued at $79.9 million. Most of these landings
were tuna landed at canneries in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico.

Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50
States were a record 3.3 million pounds in 1979, up k
percent compared with 1978. Increased landings of a
number of species, particularly salmon, more than
offset a decline in landings of tuna and shrimp.

Landings for reduction and other industrial
purposes by U.S. fishermen in the 50 States were a
record 2.9 million pounds in 1979, 3 percent over 1978.
The increase is attributable to larger landings of
menhaden, the dominant industrial fish, and increased
landings of 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 1,641,000 metric tons
(3.6 billion pounds) in 1979, 6 percent below 1978, and
29 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, 89
percent; Washington, Oregon, and California, 7
percent; North Atlantic, 4 percent; and Hawaii and the
Pacific islands, less than I percent.

Alaska pollock comprised 65 percent of the
foreign catch; Pacific flounders, 12 percent; Pacific
hake (whiting), 7 percent; and other fish and shellfish,
the remainder.

Despite a 6-percent decline in catch from 1978,
Japan continued to be the leading nation fishing in the
U.S. FCZ with a catch of I.I million metric tons in
1979. The USSR catch of 282,000 metric tons in 1979
was down 24 percent compared with 1978. Catches by
vessels of the Republic of Korea, the third most
important catching nation, were 127,000 metric tons,
26 percent above 1978.

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 2.4 million metric tons in 1979, up 2 percent
compered with 1978. The rise in the U.S. catch more
than offset a decline in the foreign catch, and the U.S.
share rose to 33 percent of the total, up from 27
percent in 1978. Because these data on U.S. landings
in some years include large quantities of anchovies and
menhaden, which are low-value fish used for industrial
purposes, the increase in U.S. landings of food fish is
hidden. If catches of anchovies and menhaden are
removed from U.S. catches in the FCZ, U.S. catches
would show a steady rise in recent years; 522,000

metric tons (1,151 million pounds) in 1976, 560,000
tons (1,235 million pounds) in 1977, 61 1,000 tons (1,347
million pounds) in 1978, and 629,000 tons (1,387 million
pounds) in 1979. •

MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. The most recent
data available are for 1970. In that year, U.S. marine
recreational fishermen caught an estimated 1.6 billion
pounds of marine (saltwater) f infish, or about the same
as the average amount of edible finfish landed by
commercial fishermen in recent years.

WORLD LANDINGS, in 1978, the most recent year for
which data are available, world commercial fishery
landings were a record 72.4 million metric tons, almost
2 percent more than the revised 1977 total of 71.2
million metric tons. Japan was the leading nation with
15 percent of the total; the USSR, second with 12
percent; China, third with 6 percent; and the United
States, fourth with 5 percent.

PRICES. In 1979, U.S. exvessel prices (prices received
by fishermen and vessel owners) rose for most species.
The index (1967-100) for edible fish and shellfish
reached 432.5 in 1979, up 22 percent compared with

1978. Among the few exceptions to this trend were
prices for flounders, pink salmon, hard blue crabs, and
American lobsters, all of which declined slightly. The
index for industrial fish was 309.3 in 1979, 5 percent
above 1978.

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The 1979 value of domestic
production of edible and inedible processed fishery
products was $4.7 billion, 5 percent above 1978. The
value of edible products increased to $4.3 billion, 6
percent above 1978. All categories of edible products
increased in value except canned fishery products.
The value of industrial products of $415 million in 1979
was about the same as in 1978.

FOREIGN TRADE. U.S. imports of -dible fishery
products were 2.4 billion pounds (product weight)
valued at a record $2.7 billion in 1979, down 2 percent
in quantity, but up 18 percent in value. U.S. imports
of nonedible (industrial) products were $1.1 billion in

1979, 39 percent above 1978.

The United States exported a record 553.6
million pounds valued at $1.0 billion of edible fishery
products in 1979, up 23 percent in both quantity and
value from 1978. Exports in 1979 of nonedible
products were $62.2 million, 16 percent below 1978.

SUPPLY. THE U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight
equivalent) was a record 8.3 billion pounds in 1979, 3
percent above 1978. The increase was caused by
record U.S. landings and near-record imports of edible
products. The supply of industrial fishery products was
3.6 billion pounds in 1979, 6 percent above 1978.
Record domestic landings of industrial products and
increased industrial imports were responsible for gain.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of
fishery products was 13.3 pounds of edible meat per
person in 1979, down from the record 13.6 pounds in
1978.

REVIEW

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS

Menhaden landings in 1979 of 2,604 nnillion
pounds (1,181 metric tons) made up 42 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 143.7 million pounds,
mostly landed at Puerto Rican ports. The only other
species landed at ports outside the United States was
shrimp — 13.9 million pounds at Central and South
American ports.

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, whei-e tuna was the principal species.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was the leading U.S. port
in terms of value, followed by San Pedro, California;
Kodiak, Alaska; and New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Louisiana led all States in volume of landings
with 1,529.1 million pounds, followed by Alaska with
898.5 million pounds; California with 728.4 million
pounds; Virginia with 572.2 million pounds; and North
Carolina with 390.5 million pounds.

Alaska led all States in value with $597.0
million, followed by California with $227.5 million;
Louisiana with $198.5 million; Massachusetts with
$175.5 million; and Texas with $160.2 million.

IMPORTANT SPECIES

ALASKA POLLOCK AND OTHER ALASKA TRAWL
FISH. Landings by U.S. fishermen of Alaska trawl fish
(atka mackerel, cod, flounders, and rockfishes) were
9.5 million pounds valued at $1.4 million in 1979, up 73
percent in quantity and 87 percent in value compared
with I 978. Landings of Alaska pollock were h.S million
pounds, up 75 percent; cod landings were 3.4 million
pounds, up 125 percent; flounder landings, 881,000
pounds, down 29 percent; and rockfishes 653,000
pounds, up 308 percent. Atka mackerel landings were
18,000 pounds in 1979. This marks the first time that
this species has been separately reported in U.S.
landings data.

The foreign catch of trawl fish in the Alaska
FCZ was 1.4 million metric tons (3. 1 billion pounds) in
1979, 7 percent less than in 1978. About 90 percent of
this total was caught in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands area; the remainder from the Gulf of Alaska.
Catches of all species, except rockfishes, declined.
The catch of Alaska pollock, which accounted for 74
percent of the total, was 1.0 million metric tons in
1979, 3 percent less than in 1978. The foreign catch of
flounders was 199,000 metric tons in 1979, 20 percent
less than 1978; the cod catch of 54,000 tons was 7
percent less; the atka mackerel catch of 34,000 tons
was 22 percent less; and the catch of "other"
groundfish of 69,000 tons was II percent less in 1979
than in 1978. The combined catch of Pacific ocean
perch and other rockfishes of 18,000 tons, however,
was 4 percent greater in 1979 than in 1978.

WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND CALIFORNIA TRAWL
CATCH. Landings and joint venture catches by U.S.
fishermen of trawl fish in Washington, Oregon, and
California were 182.8 million pounds valued at $37.4
million in 1979, up 27 percent in quantity and 29
percent in value compared with 1978. These trawl fish
are Pacific cod, flounders, Pacific hake (whiting),
Pacific ocean perch, Alaska pollock, and rockfishes.
Landings or catch of all species increased sharply
except for Pacific cod and Alaska pollock. Rockfishes
and Pacific ocean perch accounted for 41 percent of
the total quantity in 1979; flounders, 37 percent;
Pacific hake (whiting), 17 percent; Pacific cod, 5
percent; and Alaska pollock the remainder.

Foreign trawl catches off Washington, Oregon,
and California were 117,000 metric tons (259 million
pounds) in 1979, 19 percent more than in 1978. This
was the only major foreign fishery reporting an
increase in 1979. The fishery is under a PMP that only
allows a directed fishery for Pacific hake (whiting).
The catch of Pacific hake (whiting) comprised 98
percent of the foreign catch in both 1978 and 1979.

NORTH ATLANTIC TRAWL FISH. U.S. fishermen
landed 412.8 million pounds (187,000 metric tons)
valued at $137.9 million of North Atlantic groundfish
in 1979, up 4 percent in quantity and 16 percent in
value compared with 1978. The trawl fish included
are: butterfish, cod, cusk, flounders, haddock, red
hake, white hake, Atlantic ocean perch, pollock, and
whiting (silver hake). In terms of value, flounders
were the leading species, accounting for almost half
the total value; cod contributed about a fifth of the
value; and haddock, 13 percent.

The U.S. fishery for cod, haddock, and
yellowtail flounder has been under an FMP since March

1977. Because of the noticeable improvement in the
stocks of these species in recent years, fishing quotas
under the FMP were enlarged in 1979. U.S. landings of
cod from all areas were 99.4 million pounds in 1979, 15
percent above 1978; landings of haddock were 41.9
million pounds in 1979, 6 percent over 1978; and
yellowtail flounder landings were 35.2 million pounds
in 1979, 40 percent above 1978.

Canadian catches of trawl fish and scallops in
the U.S. FCZ were 25,174 metric tons (55.5 million
pounds) in 1979, 35 percent under 1978. The Canadian
catch of scallops was 9,200 metric tons (20.3 million
pounds), 24 percent below 1978; the catch of cod was
6,400 metric tons (14.1 million pounds), 33 percent
below 1978; the catch of haddock was 5,400 metric
tons (12.0 million pounds) in 1979, 49 percent under
1978; and the catch of pollock was 3,000 metric tons
(6.7 million pounds), 36 percent below 1978.

The Canadian catch was down sharply, primarily
because Canadian fishermen were only allowed to fish
in the "disputed zone" on Georges Bank in 1979. In

1978, Canadian fishermen caught a large amount of
fish and shellfish in other parts of the FCZ before June
4, 1978. Beginning on that date, Canadian fishermen
were excluded from the FCZ except in the "disputed
zone."

Trawl catches by other foreign countries were
9,100 metric tons (20.0 million pounds) in 1979, down
sharply from 123,000 tons in 1977 and 21,500 tons in

1978. The 1979 catch was much less than the final
allocations, which totaled almost 130,000 metric tons
for 1979. The catch of each species was down
substantially. The foreign catch of whiting (silver
hake), the leading species, was 4,900 metric tons in

1979, 65 percent below 1978; the red hake catch was
978 metric tons, down 54 percent; and the incidental
catch of butterfish and other species also was down
sharply. Foreign fishermen reported that abundance
was low, and the fishing was poor in the Atlantic FCZ
areas where they were allowed to fish.

REVIEW

IMPORTANT SPECIES

ANCHOVIES. U.S. landings of anchovies in 1979 were
117.4 million pounds, more than three times the 1978
catch, but still well below the average of 207.4 million
pounds for the preceding 5 years. In 1979, 103.7
million pounds or 88 percent of the anchovies were
reduced to meal, oil, and solubles. Another 12.2
million pounds or 10 percent was used for bait, mostly
live bait for sport fishing. The remaining 1.5 million
pounds was used for pet food. Most of the anchovies
were caught in purse seines, although some were taken
with lampara nets. . ,

MENHADEN. U.S. menhaden landings were a record
2.6 billion pounds valued at a record $109.4 million in
1979, up less than I percent in quantity, but up II
percent in value. Greater landings in the Atlantic
States more than offset a slight drop in the Gulf
States. Slightly over 98 percent of the landings were
reduced to meal, oil, and solubles; the rest was used
for bait or for canned pet food. Louisiana was the
principal State using menhaden for reduction, followed
by Virginia, Mississippi, and North Carolina.

HALIBUT. U.S. landings of Atlantic and Pacific
halibut were 21.4 million pounds (round weight) valued
at $34.6 million, up 3.7 million pounds and $16.1
million compared with 1978. The Pacific fishery
accounted for almost 99 percent of the 1979 total.
The average exvessel price per pound in 1979 was
$ 1 .62, compared with $ 1 ,05 in 1 978.

HERRING, SEA. U.S. commercial landings of sea
herring were 209.0 million pounds valued at $46.7
million in 1979, up 35 percent in volume and 171
percent in value compared with 1978. Landings of
Atlantic sea herring were 143.4 million pounds valued
at $8.4 million, up 29 percent in quantity and 25
percent in value from 1978. Landings of Pacific sea
herring were 65.7 million pounds valued at $38.4
million, increases of 22.6 million pounds (52 percent)
and $27.8 million (265 percent) from 1978. For Pacific
sea herring, the average exvessel price per pound
increased from 24 cents in 1978 to 58 cents in 1979.

JACK AND PACIFIC MACKEREL. Landings in
California were 94.2 million pounds valued at $6.7
million, up 2 percent in quantity and 32 percent in
value from 1978. Jack mackerel comprised 37 percent
and Pacific mackerel 63 percent of the total. The
year 1979 was the first year since 1959 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 of a trip.
The reason for more Pacific mackerel landings in 1979
was simply an increase in near-shore abundance and
the removal of the State of California regulation.

MACKEREL, ATLANTIC. U.S. landings of Atlantic
mackerel in 1979 were 4.5 million pounds with an
exvessel value of $1.1 million — 905,000 pounds and
$283,000 more than in 1978. The foreign catch of
Atlantic mackerel in the U.S. FCZ was 143,000 pounds
(65 metric tons) in 1979, down 584,000 pounds (265
metric tons) from 1978.

Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1,718.2 million
pounds, 5 percent less than the record in 1978 of
1,808.5 million pounds. Gulf Coast landings in June
and August were the second and third largest on record
(406.4 and 407.2 million pounds, respectively).
Seventy-eight vessels were in the fishery in 1979; most
of these were inactive for short periods as tropical
storms reduced fishing at all ports. Age-1 menhaden
comprised 54 percent of the catch in 1979, compared
with 70 percent in 1978. A few age-3 menhaden were
landed in 1979. Landings in the western ports,
especially at Cameron, La., contained a higher
proportion of age- 1 fish than in the central Gulf ports.
Eastern Gulf ports also contained a higher proportion
of age-1 fish in 1979, but age-2 menhaden contributed
substantially to the excellent fishing in this area.
Large catches of age-1 and age-2 fish in September
and October 1979 suggest a sizable fishery for the
1 980 season.

Landings along the Atlantic Coast were 886.3
million pounds worth $36.0 million in 1979, an increase
of 99.8 million pounds and $ I 5.8 million compared with
1978. The 1979 Atlantic catch was the largest since
1962. Fifty-four vessels were in the fishery in 1979,
the same number as in the previous year. Age-1 fish
(16 percent) and age-2 fish (68 percent) have
dominated landings in recent years, but age-3 (12
percent) contributed substantial amounts in some
areas. The Atlantic stock of menhaden should
continue to rebuild in 1980.

PACIFIC SALMON. U.S. commercial landings were
536.1 million pounds valued at $412.8 million, an
increase of 131.6 million pounds or 33 percent and
$158.2 million or 62 percent compared with 1978.
Excellent runs of pink and red salmon in Alaska were
the major factor for the increase. Alaska accounted
for 87 percent of total landings; Washington, 9
percent; Oregon, 2 percent; and California, 2 percent.
A small catch of 2,000 pounds of silver salmon was
made in the Great Lakes.

IMPORTANT SPECIES

Alaska salmon landings in 1979, the largest
since 1941, were 467.7 million pounds, up I 18.4 million
pounds or 34 percent from 1978. Pink salmon landings
in Alaska were 204.8 million pounds, the greatest since
1942. Landings of red salmon were 180.8 million
pounds, up 102 percent from 1978; and chum salmon,
44.5 million pounds, up 19 percent from 1978. Silver
salmon landings in Alaska were 23.0 million pounds, up
57 percent from 1978; and chinook salmon, 14.7 million
pounds, up 15 percent from 1978.

Salmon landings in Washington in 1979 were
49.1 million pounds valued at $67.5 million. Compared
with 1978, landings of pink (21.9 million pounds), red
(9.9 million pounds), and silver (9.7 million pounds)
increased while chinook (6.3 million pounds) and chum
(1.3 million pounds) decreased. The largest increase
was for pink salmon, which rose from 10,000 pounds in
1978 to 22.0 million pounds in 1979.

Salmon landings in Oregon were 10.5 million
pounds valued at $21.2 million, down 22,000 pounds,
but up $6.2 million as compared with 1978. The only
decrease was for silver salmon from 6.2 million pounds
in 1978 to 5.9 million pounds in 1979. Although there
were no landings of pink salmon in 1978 in Oregon,
127,000 pounds were landed in 1979.

California salmon landings decreased from I 1.9
million pounds in 1978 to 8.8 million pounds in 1979.
Silver landings declined from 6.6 million pounds in
1978 to 1.2 million pounds in 1979, which more than
offset an increase in chinook from 5.3 million pounds
in 1978 to 7.6 million pounds in 1979.

Skipjack landings in 1979 were 194.8 million
pounds, down from a record 243.4 million pounds in
1978, but still above the average for the last 5 years.

tuna landings were 278.1 million

million pounds in

Slightly more than 70 percent of the tuna
landings was at ports in the continental United States,
principally California. Most of the rest were landed in
Puerto Rico. Landings in Puerto Rico that were used
for canning were I 19.0 million pounds in 1979, down 19
percent from 1978.

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 (lATTC). The total yellowfin quota in the
CYRA for member nations was 210,000 short tons; the
season extended from January I to July 21, 1979.

Shown below are preliminary date of the
yellowfin catch by the international tuna fleet taken in
the CYRA. The U.S. share increased from 57 percent
in 1978 to 61 percent in 1979.

SABLEFISH. U.S. commercial landings of sablefish
were a record 48.4 million pounds valued at $14.8
million. This was 19.3 million pounds (66 percent) over
1978, the previous record year, and $6.5 million (78
percent) over 1978. California landings were 18.7
million pounds (down 2 percent); Alaska, 7.4 million (up
54 percent); Oregon, 16.4 million (up 486 percent); and
Washington, 6.0 million pounds (up 132 percent).
Expanded effort in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska
was responsible for the higher catches.

TUNA. Landings of tuna in 1979 by U.S. fishermen at
ports in the 50 States, Puerto Rico, and American
Samoa were 508.2 million pounds, valued at $215.2
million in 1979, down 10 percent in both quantity and
value from 1978. The quantity landed in 1979 was
about 12 percent below the average for the previous 5
years.

The decrease in total landings was attributed
primarily to reduced landings of albacore and skipjack.
The 1979 albacore catch of 15.4 million pounds was
down from 37.3 million pounds in 1978, and well below
the average of 42.8 million pounds for the last 5 years.
The drop in albacore landings was due to spotty fishing
throughout the season because of adverse weather.

pounds of meats valued at $10.2 million in 1979, an
increase of 1 1 .8 million pounds or 51 percent and $3.5
million or 53 percent. With reduced quotas on surf
clams, more vessels turned to this fishery as a
substitute for surf clams. New Jersey was the leading
producer in the United States with 25.0 million pounds
of meats, accounting for 72 percent of the total
landings of ocean quahogs. Maryland was second with
6.6 million pounds or 19 percent, followed by Rhode
Island, 2.9 million pounds or 8 percent.

IMPORTANT SPECIES

OYSTERS. U. S. landings in 1979 yielded 48.1 million
pounds of meats valued at $65.6 million, 2.9 million
pounds less and $1.1 million more than in 1978. The
Chesapeake States led in production with 20.4 million
pounds of meats, followed by the Gulf States with 15.3
million pounds. Landings decreased slightly in all
areas except the Pacific where landings remained
about the same as the previous year.

SHRIMP. U.S. landings were 336.0 million pounds
(heads-on) valued at $471.6 million—down 21 percent
in volume but up 22 percent in value compared with
1978. The amount landed was the lowest since 1969
and 17 percent below the average for the previous 5
years. Shrimp was the most valuable fishery in the
United States. The exvessel price increased from 91
cents a pound in 1978 to SI. 40 in 1979. Shrimp
landings declined in the Gulf States and Alaska, the
principal producing areas, but increased in the South
Atlantic and New England States.

Gulf landings of 206.6 million pounds were down
17 percent from 1978. Louisiana led all States in 1979
with 80.2 million pounds (down 23 percent), followed
by Texas with 67.6 million pounds (down 20 percent).
The world's largest oil spill, IXTOC, off Campeche,
Mexico, threatened the Gulf shrimp industry along the
Texas Coast in the summer of 1979.

Pacific Coast and Alaska landings of 96.0
million pounds were 38 percent less than in 1978 and

40 percent below the previous 5-year average.
Landings declined in all States except Washington.

Shrimp landings in the South Atlantic were 32.3
million pounds, an increase of 60 percent from 1978,
and the greatest since 1950. Landings increased
sharply in all South Atlantic States.

New England landings were I.I million pounds in
1979 compared with 7,000 pounds in 1978. Slightly
over 90 percent of the landings were made in
Massachusetts.

SCALLOPS. U.S. landings of all species in 1979
yielded a record 34.1 million pounds worth $111.8
million in 1979— up 2 percent or 808,000 pounds in
volume and 37 percent or $30.0 million in value from
1978.

U.S. bay scallop landings in 1979 of 1.8 million
pounds of meats valued at $6.8 million were up 403,000
pounds and $2.6 million from 1978. In Massachusetts,
the leading State, landings of 1.1 million pounds were
up 38 percent from 1978.

Calico scallop landings of 863,000 pounds of
meats valued at $1.8 million in 1979 were down 85,000

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. per capita
consumption of edible fish and shellfish was 13.3
pounds (edible meat) in 1979, down 0.3 pound from the
record 13.6 pounds consumed in 1978. Per capita
consumption of fresh and frozen products was 8.0
pounds in 1979, down 0.2 pound. A decline of 0.1
pound in consumption of both finfish products and
shrimp accounted for the decrease. Per capita
consumption of canned products was 4.9 pounds in
1979, down 0.2 pound. Consumption of canned salmon
and other canned fish each were down 0.1 pound from
1978. Per capita consumption of cured fish was 0.4
pound in 1979, up 0.1 pound from 1978.

In addition to consumption of commercially
caught fish and shellfish, recreational fishermen catch
a considerable amount estimated to be 3 to 4 pounds
(edible meat) per person.

PER CAPITA USE. The per capita use of ail fishery
products, both edible and industrial, was 53.6 pounds
(round weight) in 1979, up 1.0 pound (2 percent) from
1978. The reason for the increase was that both U.S.
production and imports were up. The per capita use of
edible fishery products rose 3 percent, and industrial
use increased almost 1 percent.

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS

FRESH AND FROZEN

FISH FILLETS AND STEAKS. In 1979, the U.S.
production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks
was 179.6 million pounds valued at $253.3 million,
down 4.7 million pounds, but up $1 1.9 million compared
with 1978. Flounder fillets led all species with 47.0
million pounds or 26.1 percent of the total. Production
of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk, haddock,
hake, Atlantic pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) was
74.8 million pounds in 1979, compared with 65.6
million pounds produced a year earlier. Production of
groundfish fillets and steaks was higher in 1979, except
for cusk and Atlantic ocean perch.

FISH BLOCKS. Total U.S. production was 4.9 million
pounds valued at $4.4 million in 1979, up sharply from
1.9 million pounds valued at $1.6 million in 1978. The
U.S. production of each species of blocks is included
with the appropriate species of fillets to avoid
disclosure of individual operations.

FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. The combined
production of fish sticks and portions was 482.2 million
pounds valued at $517.9 in 1979, a decline of 1.9
million pounds, but an increase of $15.3 million
compared with 1978. The production of fish portions
of 390.4 million pounds valued at $423.4 million set a
new record in 1979. The production of batter-coated
cooked portions of 100.6 million pounds increased 14.0
million pounds from 1978. The 1979 production of raw
breaded portions of 177.4 million pounds, unbreaded
portions of 30.4 million pounds, and cooked breaded
portions of 82.0 million pounds was down from 1978 by
5.0 million pounds, 2.4 million pounds, and 5.6 million
pounds, respectively.

FISH STICKS. Production in 1979 of 91.9 million
pounds valued at $94.5 million was 2.8 million pounds
less, but $7.8 million more than in 1978. The 1979
production of batter-coated cooked fish sticks
increased by 5.9 million pounds from 1978.

BREADED SHRIMP. The 42 plants reporting to NMFS
on a quarterly basis produced 93.8 million pounds
valued at $293.1 million in 1979. In 1978, these same
plants produced 108.0 million pounds valued at $251.8
million. The 15 additional firms that reported only on
an annual basis in 1978 produced 2.8 million pounds
valued at $3.8 million that year. Data on the 1979
production of the plants that report only on an annual
basis are not yet available.

FROZEN FISHERY TRADE. In 1979, stocks of frozen
fishery products in cold storage were at a low of 292.2
million pounds on March 30 and a high of 47 1 .2 million
pounds on December 31. Cold storage holdings of
shrimp products, which were 59.1 million pounds on
January 31, dropped to 34.7 million pounds on May 31,
and ended the year at 87.4 million pounds on December
31. Fish block holdings reached an unusual high of 74.0
million pounds on August 31, because of large imports
of cod and pollock during that month. By the end of
1979, stocks of fish blocks had declined to 62.5 million
pounds. Due to heavy U.S. landings of king crab in
1979, crab product holdings reached a record 52.9
million pounds on December 31, 1979.

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS
CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1979 pack of
canned fishery products in the 50 States, American
Samoa, and Puerto Rico was 52.3 million standard
cases (1.4 billion pounds) valued at $1.8 billion-
decreases of 6.6 million standard cases (167.8 million
pounds) and $145.1 million compared with the 1978
pack. The 1979 pack included 42.4 million standard
cases (972.1 million pounds) for human consumption
and 9.9 million standard cases (475.6 million pounds)
for bait and animal food. The packs of gefiltefish,
Maine sardines, tuna specialties, and clam and clam
products increased in 1979, but all other packs of fish
and shellfish products declined.

CANNED SALMON. The 1979 U.S. pack of Pacific
salmon was slightly more than 3.1 million standard
cases valued at a record $277.1 million, a decrease of
274,900 standard cases (8 percent), but an increase of
$28.6 million compared with 1978. The Alaska pack of
3.1 million standard cases valued at $269.8 million
represented 98 percent of the quantity and 97 percent
of the value in 1979.

Pink salmon (1.9 million standard cases) made
up 61 percent of the pack in 1979. Red (sockeye) pack
(1.0 million standard cases) remained at the same level
as in 1978. Chum (keta), silver (coho), and chinook
(king) pocks declined in 1979. Nearly 73,000 standard
cases of salmon were packed in plants in Washington
and Oregon in 1979, compared to the 13,700 standard
cases packed in 1978.

CANNED SARDINES. The pack of Maine sardines (sea
herring) was 1.3 million standard cases valued at a
record $44.8 million in 1979, an increase of 170,700
standard cases and $9.2 million from 1978. An
additional pack of herring and herring specialties of
71,600 standard cases valued at $4.8 million was
reported in 1979, 23,400 standard cases and $1.0
million less than the 1978 pack.

CANNED TUNA. The 1979 U.S. pack of tuna was 31.4

remaining 82 percent of the pack or 25.6 million
standard coses. Plants in the continental United
States packed 44 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 60 percent from
imported fish. Imports of canned tuna made up the
remaining 8 percent.

CANNED CLAMS. The U.S. pack of clams (whole,
minced, chowder, and juice) was 2.9 million standard
cases valued at $62.7 million in 1979, an increase of
325,400 standard cases and $2.5 million compared with
1978. The 1979 pack of whole and minced clams of
792,700 standard cases, which was 132,700 standard
cases more than the 1978 pack, accounted for 27
percent of the total pack in 1979. Clam chowder and
clam juice (2.2 million standard cases) made up the
remaining 1979 pack.

CANNED SHRIMP. The 1979 U.S. pack of shrimp
(natural) was 1.5 million standard cases valued at $42.1
million, 945,800 standard cases and $6.4 million less
than the 1978 pack, and the lowest pack since 1964
when only 1.4 million cases were packed. Plants in
Louisiana and Mississippi packed 900,000 standard
cases or 58 percent of the pack; the remaining 644,000
standard cases or 42 percent were packed in plants in
Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.

OTHER CANNED ITEMS. The U.S. pack of jack
mackerel was 582,000 standard coses valued at $7.7
million in 1979, a decline of 140,100 standard coses
and $2.1 million compared with 1978. The pock of
tunalike fish (bonito and yellowtail) was 77,100
standard coses valued at $1.6 million, down 103,300
standard cases and $2.0 million compared with a year
earlier. The natural pack of oysters, which has
declined over the past several years, was 65,900
standard cases valued at $1.1 million in 1979, 19,800
standard cases and $275,000 less than in 1978.

CANNED PET FOOD. In 1979, the pack of pet food
(10 pounds of fish per standard cose of 48 one-pound
cons) was 9.9 million standard coses valued at $148.0
million, a decline of 1.3 million standard cases and
$14.3 million compared with the pack in 1978. The
pack of pet food from tuna represents the major part
of the pet food pack, and the smaller pet food pock
reflects the decline in the canned tuna pack in 1979.

REVIEW

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS

INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1979 value
of industrial fishery products produced in the 50
States, Annerican Samoa, and Puerto Rico was a record
$263.4 million, $12.5 million more than the previous
record in 1978. In terms of value, the leading States
was Louisiana ($100.1 million), followed by Maine
($44.5 million), and California ($27.7 million).

FISH MEAL AND SCRAP. Domestic production in
1979 (including shellfish meal) was a record 373,818
short tons, 10,908 short tons more than the previous
record in 1978. Menhaden meal (280,813 short tons)
set a new record in 1979 and was 75 percent of all fish
and shellfish meal production. The 1979 production of
anchovy meal (9,886 short tons) was 7,810 short tons
more than in 1978. Unclassified fish meal in 1979
(24,850 short tons) consisting principally of alewives,
carp, and herring meal was slightly more than the 1978
production. The 1979 production of shellfish meal,
consisting entirely of crab and shrimp meal, was
10,878 short tons, up 1,681 short tons from 1978.

FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles
in 1979 was only 134,928 short tons, 27,615 short tons
less than in 1978. Menhaden solubles accounted for 78
percent of the production.

FISH OILS. The 1979 domestic production of fish oils
was 267.7 million pounds, 28.6 million pounds less than
in 1978. Menhaden oil production of 251.3 million was
32.7 million pounds less than the record 284.0 million
pounds produced in 1978. Tuna and mackerel oil
increased to 5.4 million pounds, up 1.0 million pounds.
Anchovy oil production rose to 1.9 million pounds in
1979 because of greater landings of anchovies.

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, liquid fertilizer,
pearl essence, and shark leathers, were valued at $59.6
million in 1979, compared with $46.7 million in 1978.

FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS

IMPORTS. The value of U.S. imports of edible fishery
products was a record $2,668 million, 18 percent
higher than the record $2,253 million established in
1978. However, the quantity of edible imports in 1979
of 2,369 million pounds was 2 percent less than I978's
2,41 I million pounds, an all-time record. The
substantial increase in value for edible imports was
mainly due to higher prices for nearly all imported
products.

Imports were higher in 1979 for fresh and
frozen cod and flounder, fish blocks, and shrimp. But
those increases were more than offset by a drop in the
imports of herring, frozen tuna, crabs and crab meats,
and fillets and steaks other than groundfish. Edible
imports in 1979 consisted of 2,090 million pounds of
fresh and frozen products valued at $2,347 million, 208
million pounds of canned products valued at $251
million, and 7 I million pounds of cured products valued
at $70 million.

Adding nonedible imports valued at $1,143
million to the edible products gives total imports in
1979 of $3,811 million, 24 percent more than in 1978.
Again, higher prices for most nonedible products
accounted for the increase.

EXPORTS. U.S. exports of edible fishery products of
domestic origin in 1979 broke the record established in

1978 for both quantity and value. The new record in

1979 was 553.6 million pounds valued at $1,020.2
million. This was an increase of 23 percent in both
quantity and value from I978's 448.3 million pounds
valued at $831.7 million.

Adding exports of nonedible products valued at
$62.2 million to exports of edible products results in
total exports of $1,082.4 million in 1979, 20 percent
more than the previous year.

U.$. AAARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

The number of marine recreational fishermen
has grown substantially in recent years, and their
harvest is no longer inconsequential. Estimates
indicate that there are now 20-25 million marine
recreational fishermen in the United States.
Expenditures by these fishermen for recreational
fishing and the value of associated industries (such as
tackle, boat, and trailer manufacturers, and the party
and charter boat industries) make a significant
contribution to the U.S. economy.

Most species of marine finfish are harvested by
both commercial and recreational fishermen. The
recreational catch exceeds that of the commercial
fishery for many species. There are indications that
recreational fishermen now account for about 40
percent of the total U.S. finfish harvest used for food.
The magnitude of the recreational fishery and the need
to conserve marine fisheries point up the need for
extensive statistical information and analysis in order
to produce meaningful regulations. Statistics on the
domestic commercial fishery in the United States have
been collected for many years. The difficulty and
expense of collecting reliable statistics on the marine
recreational fishery was recognized many years ago.
The problems associated with collecting these data
include high cost and reliability of the data.

The size end distribution of the recreational
fisheries makes a complete census of all fishermen
impractical. Therefore, a survey must be conducted to
collect data from a sample of recreational fishermen,
and the survey data must be expanded to estimate the
entire population of fishermen and their catches.

Comprehensive collection of catch statistics on
marine recreational fisheries requires careful
attention to survey design and analysis. Fishermen are
widely dispersed spatially and temporally along the
coast, fishing from boats, piers, jetties, docks, and the
open beach. They fish day and night, anytime
throughout the year, and there is no central location
from which to obtain data from all fishermen. A
significant proportion of the U.S. population, perhaps
10 percent, engages in marine recreational fishing at
one time or another throughout a year. However, as
most coastal States do not license or register marine
recreational fishermen and there is no national
licensing or registration system, there is no
identifiable universe or list of recreational fishermen
from which to select a sample for data collection
purposes.

Previous surveys in the United States to collect
data on recreational fisheries have used either a
survey of fishermen at home (household survey) or a
survey of fishermen at the fishing location (creel
census or intercept survey). Most of these efforts

have covered small geographical areas, hove been
seasonal, or have addressed specific fisheries. The
first surveys covering the entire United States were
the Salt-Water Angling Surveys of I960, 1965, and
1970. These surveys used personal interviews with
fishermen at the end of the year to obtain estimates of
catch and effort. Regional surveys were conducted in
1974 and 1975, using a combination telephone and mail
survey of households at 2-month intervals to estimate
participation, catch, and effort.

These surveys required fishermen to recall
certain information over time. Biases introduced by
the inability of fishermen to recall accurately the
number and size of fish caught and to identity
correctly the species caught raised questions regarding
the reliability of the data. These questions, coupled
with several other inadequacies in statistical design,
prompted NMFS to examine ways of improving the
survey design to provide more reliable data.

In 1976 and 1977, NMFS studied the
methodological problems identified in previous
surveys. Based on this study, an optimum survey
design was adopted, consisting of two independent
surveys ~ a telephone survey of households and an
intercept survey. The significance of this method is
the use of two independent surveys, each providing
certain information which is combined to produce
estimates of participation, effort, total catch, and
catch by species.

The survey design, using two independent
surveys, represents a significant improvement in
methodology over past surveys to collect data on
recreational fisheries. Fishermen are not required to
recall information over time about their catches, since
the interviewer in the intercept survey examines the
catches. The interviewer identifies the species of fish
caught, not relying on the fishermen for identification.

The first year's survey included the Atlantic
Coast, Gulf Coast, Caribbean area (Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands), and Western Pacific area
(Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa). This I -year
survey began in November 1978 and continued through
October 1979, but was extended through December
1979. The second year's survey covering calendar year
1980 began in January 1980 and includes the Atlantic
Coast, Gulf Coast, and Western Pacific area (now
including the Northern Mariana Islands). A l-yeor
survey was started on the Pacific Coast in July 1979.
These surveys are planned to continue annually for the
next several years.

(1) Includes diadromous (salmon and other anadromous fishes and catadromous fishes such as
eels). There are 2,204.6 pounds in a metric ton.

Note:--There is a discontinuity of data in the world commercial catch of freshwater and marine
fish prior to 1972 compared to data from 1972 to 1978 due to an FAO revision of the mainland
Chinese catch as published in Yearbook of Fishery Statistics 1978, Vol. 46. The mainland
Chinese freshwater fish catch was revised downward and the marine fish catch was revised upward.

(1) Estimated by FAO.

Note:--Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 162 countries. Among the
countries excluded, only mainland China, has significant exports. 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 containers; 5.
Crustacean and mollusk products and preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 6.
Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic animal origin; and 7. Meals, solubles, and similar
animal foodstuffs, of aquatic animal origin.

PRICES

INDEXES OF EXVESSEL PRICES

The tables that follow show indexes of exvessel prices prepared by the National Marine Fisheries Service
Most of the prices used in calculating the "Indexes of Exvessel Prices for Fish and Shellfish" are based on monthly
kindings and value data, in a few cases, prices are obtained from Fishery Market News Repnrt^ and Market News
Utfices. I he index for each species is calculated by multiplying the current monthly price by the total quantity
caught m 1967 (the base year) to obtain a value for the current month. That value is then divided by the 1967
average monthly value to obtain the final index:

(Current price X 1967 quantity)
1967 average monthly value

Index for each species

To calculate the index for salmon, tuna, New England finfish, and other shellfish, the current monthly values
tor 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 numiber 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

VALUE ADDED, MARGINS, AND CONSUMER EXPENDITURES FOR EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS IN THE
UNITED STATES, 1978 AND 1979 • Continued

FOOTNOTES

(1 ) For imported fishery products, the margin and sales values at different levels are calculated in the same manner as they are done for the
domestic production column, except that the markup rate at the processor level is 0.6495 in 1978 and 0.6518 in 1979; at the wholesale level
the markup rate is 0.1675 in 1978 and 0.1736 in 1979. In 1978 and 1979 the distribution rate is 50 percent at retail stores, 44 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 1.1262 in 1978 and 1.1320 in 1979) 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 (0.2080 for 1978 and 0.2087 for 1979).

(9) In 1978 and 1979, 38 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to retailers. This value times the weighted average of markup rates
(0.2870 in 1978 and 0.2872 in 1979) at the retail level equals the margin at retail.

(10) In 1978 and 1979, 57 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to public eating places. At a markup rate of 1.220 for 1978 and
1.210 for 1979, the margin and sales values at this level are obtained.

(11) A wholesale sales value of 5 percent is distributed to institutions with a markup rate of 0.6550 in 1978 and 0.6530 in 1979; 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 procedure for calculating the data in this table is based on two comprehensive reports: Cost Analyses of U.S. Fish Price Margins.
1972-1977, at Different Production and Distribution Levels and Marketing Bill of U.S. Fish-Food Products, both prepared by Erwin S. Penn
(202-634-71 1 1) of the Economic Analysis Group, Office of Policy and Planning, Fx53.

U.S. PER CAPITA USE

Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based on the supply of fishery products, both edible
and nonedible (industrial), on a round-weight equivalent basis, without considering beginning or ending stocks,
defense purchases, or exports (see p. 52).

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see p. 75). 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.

(2) Fresh and frozen fish consumption from 1910 to 1928 is estimated. Beginning in 1973, data
include consumption of artificially cultivated catfish.

(3) Canned fish consumption for 1910 -to 1920 is estimated. Beginning in 1921 it is based on
production reports, packer stocks, and foreign trade statistics for individual years.

(4) Cured fish consumption for 1910 to 1928 is estimated.

(5) Data for 1909 estimate based on the 1908 census and foreign trade data.

(6) Preliminary.
*Record.

Note:--These consumption figures refer only to consumption of fish and shellfish entering
commercial channels, and they do not include data on consumption of recreationally caught fish
and shellfish, which since 1970 is estimated to be between 3 and 4 pounds (edible meat) per
person annually.

THE FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1976 85

The Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (FCMA),
Public Law 94-265, signed on April 13, 1976, 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 FCMA, 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 foreign countries 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). 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, and the request for fees, 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 are 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.

The poundage fee is 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 the unused allocations.

Beginning in 1979, 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 surcharge is in two installments. The first
installment is 10 percent, and is payable when the permit fee and
poundage fee are paid. The amount of the second installment will
be reduced or waived if the total claim against the fund is not as
high as estimated.

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.

FCMA

FMPsand PMPs

The PMP s in effect on March 15, 1980 were:

Under the FCMA, 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, 1980 - - 12 FMPs and 8 PMPs.
The FMP s in effect on that date were:

Atlantic Butterfish

Atlantic Groundfish

Atlantic Herring

Atlantic Mackerel

Surf Clam and Ocean Quahog

Atlantic Squid

Stone Crab

Northern Anchovy

Troll Salmon (Washington, Oregon, and California)

Gulf of Alaska Groundfish

High Seas Salmon (Alaska)

Tanner Crab

Atlantic Billfishes and Sharks

Atlantic Hake

Other Finfish (Atlantic)

Trawl Fishery (Washington, Oregon, California)

Shellfish Market Review

Food Fish Market Review

Fish Meal and Oil Market Review

The reports listed below are studies of the market for
underutilized fish in the United States and 16 foreign countries.

Study Report of Export and Domestic Market Opportunities for
Underutilized Fish and Shellfish.

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).

FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) provides many fisheries development services with emphasis on
developing our Nation's fisheries, particularly for underutilized species. 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 Federal
regulation of the molluscan shellfisheries. 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 equity and long-term debt capital with which to finance fishing
vessel construction, reconstruction, and reconditioning costs (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).

REGIONAL COASTAL INFORMATION CENTERS

The Regional Coastal Information Center (RCIC)
network is a joint project of three components of
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin-
istration). These are OA/D (Environmental Data and
Information Service), CZ (Office of Coastal Zone
Management), and RD/SG (Office of Sea Grant).

SERVICES. RCIC's can provide newsletters, lists
of published materials and resources data files for
local use, literature searches, and general information
on coastal and marine resources.

SUBJECT AREAS. The major subject areas
include coastal and marine resources, land use and
facility siting, urban and regional planning, as well as
leaal, socioeconomic, and environmental information.

LOCATION. Currently three RCIC's are in
operation — Northeast, Great Lakes and Northwest
regions. Six others are planned.

that mature in the ocean, and then ascend streams
to spawn in freshwater. In the FCMA, these species
irx:lude, but are not limited to, Atlantic and Pacific
salmons, steelhead trout, and striped bass. See l\2
FR 60682, Nov, 28, 1977.

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

that are at the harvestable stage either (a)
immobile on or under the seabed or (b) unable to

FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT
ACT OF 1976, Public Law 94-265 (FCMA). The
FCMA became law on April 13, 1976, and was put in
force March I, 1977. 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 FCMA

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.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan
developed by a Regional Fishery Management
Council to manage a fishery resource pursuant to
the FCMA.

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.

GROUNDFISH. 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
conservation of the fishery resources of the
Northwest Atlantic Ocean. In 1975, there were 18
member nations. The United States withdrew from
ICNAF on December 31, 1976, because continued
adherence to the convention was deemed
incompatible with the extension of U.S. fishery
management jurisdictions to 200 miles under the
Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976.
See Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization
(NAFO).

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.

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
consumption. 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.

128

GLOSSARY

MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY). MSY
from a fishery is the largest annual catch or yield in
terms of weight of fish caught by both commercial
and recreational fishermen that can be taken
continuously from a stock under existing
environmental conditions. A determination of MSY,
which should be an estimate based upon the best
scientific information available, is a biological
measure necessary in the development of optimum
yield.

NORTHWEST ATLANTIC 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. United States
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 FCMA, 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 mode 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 on
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 FCMA,

U.S. FISHERY CONSERVATION ZONE (FCZ). The
FCMA 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. 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.

VESSEL. A commercial fishing craft having a
capacity of 5 net tons or more. These craft are
either enrolled or documented by the U.S. Coast
Guard and have an official number assigned by that
agency.

WHOLESALE FISH AND SHELLFISH PRICES.
Prices in this report generally are those received at
principal fishery markets by primary wholesalers
(processors, importers, and brokers) in customary
quantities, free on board (f.o.b.) warehouse.

Federal Inspection Marks
For Fishery Products

FISHERY PRODUCTS ARE
VOLUNTARILY INSPECTED. Beef and
poultry, as well as many other perishable
food items, are federally inspected 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 techniques and
product quality and condition. Products
packed in plants under USDC inspection
can carry marks for easy consumer
indentification.

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
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

U.S. GRADE

standards under the supervision of the
U.S. Department of Commerce's
voluntary inspection service. The
functions symbolized by each mark
follow:

"U.S. GRADE" MARK. The "U.S.
Grade" mark signifies that:

1. The product is clean, safe, and
wholesome.

2. 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.

3. The product was produced in an
acceptable establishment with
proper equipment and in an
appropriate processing environment
as required by food control
authorities.

4.

The product was processed under
supervision by Federal food
inspectors and packed by sanitary
food handlers in accordance with
specific Good Manufacturing
Practice requirements.

5.

The product is truthfully and
accurately labeled as to common or
usual name, optional ingredients,
and quantity.

acceptable establishment with
appropriate equipment under the
supervision of Federal inspectors. The
product has not been graded as to a
specific quaUty level; rather, it is an
acceptable commercial quality as
determined by Federal inspectors in
accordance with approved standards or
specifications.

Financing For Fishing Vessels

Two National Marine Fisheries Service programs are available for financing the
construction and refurbishing of commercial fishing vessels and commercial
passenger-carrying fishing vessels.

The Fishing Vessel Obligation Guarantee Program is available for financing
up to KlVi 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 o^ .ime 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.
