PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1986

This publication is a preliminary report for 1986 on
commercial and recreational fisheries of the United States
and foreign catches in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ). This annual report provides timely answers to
frequently asked questions for the previous year.

SOURCES OF DATA

Information in this report came from many sources.
Field offices of the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), in cooperation with various States, collected and
compiled data on U.S. commercial landings and processed
fishery products. The NMFS field offices also compiled data
on the foreign catch from reports submitted by designated
foreign officials. The NMFS National Fishery Statistics
Program in Washington, D.C., managed the collection and
compilation of recreational statistics, and tabulated and
prepared the data for publication. Sources of other data
appearing in this publication are: U.S. Bureau of the
Census, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Coast Guard,
U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (Rome), and the
countries fishing in the U.S. EEZ.

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA

Data on U.S. commercial and recreational landings,
foreign catches, employment, prices, and production of
processed products are preliminary for 1986. Final data will
be published in Fishery Statistics of the United States and
other NMFS Current Fishery Statistics publications.

DEFINITIONS - (See Glossary)

As in past issues of this publication, the units of
quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S. landings and
foreign catch are shown in round weight (mollusk shells
excluded), unless otherwise noted; quantities shown for U.S.
imports and exports are in product weight, as reported by
the U.S. Bureau of the Census, unless otherwise noted; the
value of the U.S. domestic commercial catch is exvessel 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 Unite'd 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. Countries and territories shown in the U.S. foreign
trade section are established for statistical purposes in the
Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (Tariff
Commission) and reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

SUGGESTIONS

provide the kinds of data sought by users of fishery
statistics, and welcomes any comments or suggestions that
will improve this publication.

IMPORTANT SPECIES

U.S. LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and

industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 States were
6.0 billion pounds (2.7 million metric tons) valued at $2.8
billion in 1986— a decrease of 227.0 million pounds (103,000
metric tons) in quantity, but an increase of $437,000 in
value compared with 1985. Increased landings of shellfish
such as crabs, shrimp, and squid helped offset declines in
major finfish species such as flounders, menhaden and
salmon. Landings of sea herrings, Alaska pollock and tuna
increased. The 1986 average exvessel price per pound paid
to fishermen of 46 cents was 23 percent higher than the 37
cents they received in 1985. Finfish accounted for 81
percent of total landings but only 48 percent of the total
value of finfish and shellfish.

Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports
outside the 50 States or transferred in the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) onto foreign vessels (joint ventures)
were an additional 3.4 billion pounds (1.5 million metric
tons) valued at $327.1 million. This was a 37 percent or
914.5 million pound (415,000 metric tons) increase in
quantity and a $50.5 million (18 percent) increase in value
compared with 1 985. Most of these landings consisted of
tuna landed at canneries in Puerto Rico and joint venture
catches of Alaska pollock.

Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 States
were 3.4 billion pounds (1.5 million metric tons) in l986--an
increase of 99.0 million pounds (45,000 metric tons)
compared with 1985. Landings of cods, flounders, and
salmon decreased, but there were increases in Alaska
pollock, tuna, and shrimp. In 1986, domestic production was
35 percent and imports 65 percent of the total U.S. edible
supply.

Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes
were 2.6 billion pounds (1.2 million metric tons) in 1986— a
decrease of 1 1 percent compared with 1 985.

JOINT VENTURE CATCH IN THE U.S. EEZ. Joint venture
catches by U.S. fishermen unloaded onto foreign vessels
were 2.9 billion pounds (1.3 million metric tons) valued at
$154.9 million. This was a 44 percent increase over 1985,
when 2.0 billion pounds (91 1,000 metric tons) were caught,
valued at $104.3 million. The major species were flounders,
Pacific hake, and Alaska pollock.

FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. EEZ. The foreign catch of fish
(excluding tunas) and shellfish in the U.S. EEZ was 588,000
metric tons (1.3 billion pounds) in 1986, a 49 percent
decrease compared to 1985 and 53 percent below the
average for the preceding 5 years. As in other years, the
U.S. EEZ off Alaska supplied the largest share of the foreign
catch (84 percent) followed by California, Oregon and
Washington (12 percent), and the North Atlantic (4 percent).

Alaska pollock comprised 60 percent of the foreign
catch; Pacific flounders, 13 percent; Pacific hake, 12
percent; Pacific cod, 9 percent; and other fish and shellfish
the remainder.

Japan continued as the leading nation fishing in the
U.S. EEZ with a catch of 385.7 thousand metric tons, 66

percent of the total foreign catch. Catches by vessels of
the Republic of Korea, the second leading nation fishing in
the U.S. EEZ, were 97.3 thousand metric tons representing
1 6 percent of the catch in 1 986.

The foreign catch in the Pacific U.S. EEZ in 1986 was
563,000 metric tons, 562,000 metric tons less than 1985.
Over 84 percent of this catch was made in the Eastern
Bering Sea; 13 percent was taken off California, Oregon,
and Washington, and 3 percent was taken off the Gulf of
Alaska. Alaska pollock, 353,000 metric tons (63 percent of
the total), was the leading species followed by Pacific
flounders, 78,000 metric tons (14 percent); and Pacific cod,
55,000 metric tons (10 percent). Japan and the Republic of
Korea were the major countries fishing this area in 1986
taking 86 percent of the total catch.

Since June, 1978 Canadian authorities have excluded
almost all U.S. fishing vessels from Canadian waters, and
United States authorities have excluded almost all Canadian
fishing vessels from U.S. waters. However, in the Pacific,
halibut fishing continued under the United States - Canada
Halibut Convention. In the Atlantic, vessels of both nations
fished in a boundary region until October, 1984 when the
International Court of Justice resolved the long-standing
boundary dispute by establishing a line which crosses
Georges Bank essentially mid-way between the
U.S./Canadian claims. The tables appearing on pages 29-38
have been adjusted to delete Canadian catch data, which
were minimal.

Foreign catches in the North Atlantic U.S. EEZ in
1986 were 26,000 thousand metric tons, 11,000 thousand
metric tons (31 percent) less than the 1985 catch when
37,000 metric tons were taken. The German Democratic
Republic had the highest catch of 19,000 metric tons (74
percent) followed by Italy with 4,000 metric tons (16
percent). Atlantic mackerel catches amounted to 19,000
metric tons (74 percent). Other species of significance were
squid, 5,000 metric tons (20 percent) and silver hake, 547
metric tons (2 percent).

U.S. VS. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. EEZ. The combined
catch by U.S. and foreign vessels in the U.S. EEZ was 3.0
million metric tons in 1986 (up 6 percent) compared with
1985. However, the U.S. share was 80 percent of the total,
up 21 percentage points from 1985.

WORLD LANDINGS. In 1985, the most recent year for
which data are available, world commercial fishery landings
were a record 84.9 million metric tons— an increase of 1.8
million metric tons (2 percent) compared with 1984. Japan
continued to be the leading nation with 13 percent of the
total catch; the USSR, second with 1 2 percent; China, third
with 8 percent; followed by Chile and the United States,
each with 6 percent.

PRICES. The procedure for calculating the Index of
Exvessel Prices for all fish and shellfish has been reviewed
and modified for inclusion in this year's publication. Major
changes in the U.S. fishing industry had occurred since the
index was originally designed. The result was that the
"market basket" or group of species used to calculate the

IV

REVIEW
IMPORTANT SPECIES

index was no longer representative of price trends for all
fish and shellfish. The index has been recalculated with a
new market basket and 1986 as the base year. The result is
a recalculated annual index for 1981 - 1986. A monthly
index of exvessel prices will be added to the 1987
publication. The annual index for edible fish and shellfish
increased 12 percent. The annual index for industrial fish
increased 6 percent.

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The 1986 estimated value of the
domestic production of edible and nonedible fishery products
was $5.2 billion, $263.6 million more than the $4.9 billion in
1985. The value of edible products was $4.9 billion—an
increase of $262.7 million (6 percent) compared with 1985.
The value of industrial products was $276.0 million in 1986—
an increase of $1.1 million (less than I percent) compared
with 1985.

FOREIGN TRADE. The total import value of edible and
nonedible fishery products was a record $7.6 billion in 1986-
-an increase of $947.7 million (14 percent) compared with
1985. Imports of edible fishery products (product weight)
were a record 3.0 billion pounds (1.4 million metric tons)
valued at a record $4.8 billion in 1986— an increase of 224.9
million pounds (8 percent) in quantity and $749.2 million (18
percent) in value compared with 1985. Imports of nonedible
(industrial) products also set a value record in 1986, with
products valued at $2.8 billion— an increase of $198.6 million
compared with 1985.

Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery
products of domestic origin was $1.4 billion in 1986— an
increase of $272.0 million (25 percent) compared with 1985.
United States firms exported 735.0 million pounds (333,000
metric tons) of edible products valued at $1.3 billion— an
increase of 86.9 million pounds (39,000 metric tons) in
quantity and $279.5 million in value compared with 1985.
Exports of nonedible products were valued at $66.3 million,
$7.6 million less than 1985 nonedible exports. The $154.9
million received for U.S. -flag vessel catches transferred
onto foreign vessels in the U.S. EEZ in joint venture
operations are not included in the export statistics.

SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent)
was a record 9.6 billion pounds (4.4 million metric tons) in
1986— an increase of 283.0 million pounds (3 percent)
compared with the previous record supply in 1985. The
change reflects an increase of 3 percent in imports, and an
increase of 3 percent in domestic commercial landings. The
supply of industrial fishery products was 4.7 billion pounds
(2.2 million metric tons) in 1986— a decrease of I.I billion
pounds (18 percent) compared with 1985. Domestic
commercial landings for industrial products of 2.6 billion
pounds (1.2 million metric tons) was 563.0 million pounds
less than the record of 3.2 billion pounds set in 1983.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of fishery
products was a record 14.7 pounds of edible meat per person
in 1 986, up 0.3 pound from 1 985.

OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES

Menhaden, with landings of 2.4 billion pounds (I.I
million metric tons), was the most important species in
quantity in 1986, accounting for 40 percent of the
commercial fishery landings in the United States. Menhaden
was eighth in value.

Salmon was the second most important in quantity
and value.

Crabs were the fourth most important in quantity and
third in value.

Shrimp were third in quantity, but first in value.

Sea herring was the fifth most important in quantity,
but low in value.

Pollock was the sixth most important in quantity, but
low in value.

Lobster and clams were the fourth and fifth most
important species in value, respectively.

Tuna landings by U.S.-flag vessels at ports outside
the continental United States amounted to 467.2 million
pounds. Other species landed at ports outside the United
States were shrimp and swordfish, landed in Puerto Rico,

Central, and South American ports, and Atlantic and Pacific
groundfish, squid, etc., transferred onto foreign vessels in
the U.S. EEZ.

Cameron, Louisiana, was the leading U.S. port in
quantity of commercial fishery landings, followed by
Pascagou la-Moss Point, Mississippi; Empire-Venice,
Intercoastal City and Dulvac-Chauvin, Louisiana. Menhaden
was the principal species landed at these ports.

New Bedford, Massachusetts, was the leading U.S.
port in terms of value, followed by Dulac-Chauvin,
Louisiana; Kodiak, Alaska, Brownsville-Port Isabel, Texas;
and Aransas Pass-Rockport, Texas.

Louisiana led all States in volume with landings of 1.7
billion pounds, followed by Alaska, 1.2 billion; Virginia,
528.2 million; Mississippi, 418.4 million; and California,
386.7 million pounds.

Alaska led all States in value with $752.4 million,
followed by Louisiana, $321.5 Texas, $246.1; Massachusetts,
$243.5; and Florida, $154.5 million.

REVIEW

IMPORTANT SPECIES

ALASKA POLLOCK AND OTHER PACIFIC TRAWL FISH.
U.S. landings of Pacific trawl fish (Pacific cod, flounders,
hake (Pacific whiting), Pacific ocean perch, Alaska pollock,
and rockfishes) were 431.8 million pounds valued at $70.1
million—an increase of II percent in quantity compared
with 1985.

Landings of Alaska pollock increased 40 percent to
130.4 million pounds, significantly higher than the 5-year
average. Landings of Pacific cod were 104.4 million pounds
- a decrease of 13 percent from 120.3 million pounds in
1985. Pacific hake (whiting) landings were 25.6 million
pounds valued at $1.2 million, an increase of 9.3 million
pounds (57 percent) and $390,000 (49 percent) compared
with 1985. The 1986 landings of Pacific hake were 70
percent higher than the 5-year average.

The fleet of catcher/processor trawlers increased to
fifteen by the end of the 1986 Alaskan groundfish season. In
addition, there were three "mothership" processor vessels
where domestic trawlers transferred groundfish at sea for
processing. Almost 70 percent of the Alaskan groundfish
harvest was delivered to these floating processers rather
than shore-side processing operations.

In the California-Oregon-Washington trawl fishery,
landings of widow rockfish, the most important component
of the rockfish group, were 20.8 million pounds (6 percent
higher than 1985) valued at $5.7 million. Peak landings of
60.9 million pounds occurred in 1981 as the stock was being
fished down from virgin levels. Since 1983, regulations by
the Pacific Fishery Management Council aimed at
maintaining the stock at Maximum Sustained Yield (MSY)
level have kept landings below 23.0 million pounds. The
1986 stock assessement by the NMFS Southwest Fisheries
Center indicates that the stock is above the MSY level
because of strong recent year-classes, and the 1987 catch
level was set at 27.5 million pounds.

ANCHOVIES. U.S. landings of anchovies were 13.4 million
pounds— a decrease of I.I million pounds (8 percent)
compared with 1985. Of this amount, 12.2 million pounds
(91 percent) were used as bait. The remaining landings of
1.2 million pounds went into reduction plants for fish meal
and oil. A factor contributing to the lower landings was the
stiff competition from substitute products in the fish meal
and oil market.

HALIBUT. U.S. landings of Atlantic and Pacific halibut
were 77.7 million pounds (round weight) valued at $82.9
million— an increase of 16.7 million pounds (27 percent), and
$44.5 million (116 percent) in value compared with 1985.
The Pacific fishery accounted for all but 101,000 pounds of
the 1986 total catch. The average exvessel price per pound
in 1986 was $1.07 compared with 63 cents in 1985.

In spite of the increased catch from 1985, fishing
seasons were shorter in 1986 in all areas. A much larger
fishing fleet than in 1985 and generally good stock
conditions in most areas were the primary reasons for the
shorter seasons and good catch. The International Pacific
Halibut Commission issued 5,166 licenses to vessels from
the U.S. to fish commercially for halibut in 1986. This was
a 23 percent increase over the number of permits issued the
previous year.

HERRING, SEA. U.S. commercial landings of sea herring
were 210.1 million pounds valued at $48.9 million— an

increase of 10.9 million pounds (5 percent) in quantity, and a
decline of $1.1 million (2 percent) in value compared with
1985. Landings of Atlantic sea herring increased to 79.4
million pounds valued at $4.3 million— an increase of 22.2
million pounds (39 percent) in quantity and $1.3 (45 percent)
in value compared with 1985. Landings of Atlantic sea
herring remain low relative to historical levels. Juvenile
herring (ages 1-3) support the traditional canner fishery.
Fixed gear fisheries— primarily stop seines and weirs— which
typically account for a high proportion of the catch of
juvenile herring, were responsible for just 10 percent of the
coastal Maine herring landings in 1986. In contrast, purse
seiners have assumed increasing importance in the harvest
of juvenile herring in recent years. Reduced abundance and
availability to the fixed gear fisheries has resulted in low
catch levels during this decade. The fishery is highly
dependent on recruitment; year class strength has been
relatively poor throughout the 1980's. The outlook for the
fishery is not encouraging without stock rebuilding.

Landings of Pacific sea herring were 130.8 million
pounds valued at $44.6 million— a decrease of 11.3 million
pounds (8 percent) in quantity, and $2.4 million (5 percent)
in value compared with 1985. Although Alaskan landings of
112.5 million pounds decreased by 10.9 million pounds (9
percent) compared with 1985, the 1986 value was about
$400,000 greater than 1985. Increased spawn-on-kelp
harvest accounted for most of the increased value of the
fishery, rather than an increase in price paid per ton of sac
roe or food/bait herring. The average exvessel price per
pound of Pacific sea herring was 34 cents in 1986 compared
with 33 cents in 1985.

JACK MACKEREL. Landings of jack mackerel in 1986 were
23.7 million pounds valued at $1.8 million— an increase of
2.8 million pounds (14 percent) in quantity but only $5,000 in
value compared with 1985. Landings continued to be well
below the 5-year average. The 1986 average exvessel price
per pound was 7 cents— I cent less than 1985.

MACKEREL, ATLANTIC. U.S. landings of Atlantic
mackerel were 9.4 million pounds valued at $1.2 million— an
increase of 2.8 million pounds (43 percent) in quantity and
$208,000 in value (21 percent) when compared with 1985.
New Jersey was the leading State for the sixth consecutive
year with 4.7 million pounds (51 percent of the total catch);
followed by Massachusetts, 1.5 million pounds (16 percent)
and Virginia, I.I million pounds (II percent). The average
exvessel price per pound in 1986 was 13 cents, down slightly
from 1985.

Recent assessment information suggests that the
Northwest Atlantic mackerel stock is continuing to expand
due to the above average strength of recent year classes.
The Atlantic mackerel stock shows major opportunities for
the U.S. industry in the future.

MACKEREL, PACIFIC. Landings of Pacific mackerel,
managed under a California State quota, were 85.4 million
pounds valued at $6.4 million— an increase of 10.0 million
pounds (13 percent) in quantity and $84,000 (I percent) in
value compared with 1985. The average exvessel price
remained stable at about 8 cents per pound.

MENHADEN. The U.S. menhaden landings were 2.4 billion
pounds valued at $93.8 million— a decrease of 348.0 million
pounds (13 percent) in quantity and $6.9 million (7 percent)
in value compared with 1985. Landings decreased by 226.8

REVIEW

IMPORTANT SPECIES

million pounds (29 percent) in the Atlantic States and
decreased by 121.3 million pounds (6 percent) in the Gulf
States compared with 1985. Menhaden are used primarily
for the production of meal, oil, and solubles. Small
quantities are used for bait and canned pet food.

Landings along the Atlantic coast were 564.8 million
pounds valued at $26.3 million. Although spawning stock
sizes have improved somewhat since the population crashed
in the early I960's, the magnitude and distribution of
current fishing effort will likely prevent short term landings
from reaching much higher levels than at present according
to NMFS scientists. Gulf region landings were 1.8 billion
pounds valued at $67.5 million. This catch is slightly below
that of the previous three record catches of 2.2 billion
pounds in 1984, 2.0 billion pounds in 1983, and 1.9 billion
pounds in 1985. NMFS Southeast Fisheries Center scientists
had predicted that the fishery could not sustain the record
levels of harvest of 1983 and 1984, and that landings would
eventually decline.

NORTH ATLANTIC TRAWL FISH. North Atlantic landings
of butterfish, Atlantic cod, cusk, flounders (blackback,
fluke, yellowtail and other), haddock, red and white hake,
ocean perch, pollock, and whiting (silver hake) were 309.4
million pounds valued at $190.5 million— a decrease of 48.2
million pounds (13 percent) in quantity, but an increase of
$7.9 million (4 percent) in value compared with 1985. Of
these species, flounders led in value, accounting for 55
percent of the total; followed by Atlantic cod, 19 percent;
and pollock, 7 percent.

Landings of Atlantic cod declined for the third
consecutive year to 61.1 million pounds in 1986, 38 percent
below the 5-year average. The 1986 catch was the lowest
since 1 976. The exvessel price per pound was 59 cents per
pound in 1986 compared with 42 cents per pound in 1985.
Abundance of both the Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine
stocks is currently at or near record-low levels. Fishing
mortality, which attained record-high levels in 1985,
declined in 1986 but still remained above levels that would
promote significant stock rebuilding. Recruitment of the
strong 1985 year class during the 1987 fishing year should
result in increased scrod cod landings. Since September
1986, the U.S. Atlantic cod fisheries have been managed
under the Northeast Multispecies Fisheries Management
Plan (FMP). The FMP implemented a minimum landings size
for cod (17 inches), a minimum mesh size for otter trawls
catching cod in the offshore areas (5 1/2"), and established
small mesh/large mesh fishing areas and seasons for species
taken in the U.S. North Atlantic trawl fishery.

The 1986 landings of yellowtail flounder were 22.9
million pounds, a decrease of 1.6 million pounds from 1985
and 48 percent below the 5-year average. This fishery
remains heavily dependent upon incoming recruitment. Poor
recruitment of year classes since 1981 has caused declining
landings.

Haddock landings are near historic lows, declining in
1986 to I 1.0 million pounds (down 24 percent from 1985).
Value decreased to $10.9 million (down 19 percent from
1 985). Future recruitment prospects are poor and the
general outlook for haddock stocks remains poor for 1987.

The North Atlantic pollock landings were 54.5 million
pounds in 1986, the highest level ever recorded by this

fishery and exceeding the 5-year average by almost 50
percent. These landings were made despite the fact that
the abundance of pollock has declined substantially in recent
years from record high levels in the late I970's and early
I980's. Consequently, current fishing effort and mortality
rates are extremely high.

PACIFIC SALMON. U.S. commercial landings of salmon
were 658.5 million pounds valued at $493.9 million—a
decrease of 68.4 million pounds (9 percent) in quantity, but
an increase of $54.1 million (12 percent) in value compared
with 1985. Alaska accounted for 90 percent of the total
landings; Washington, 7 percent; and Oregon and California
the remaining 3 percent. Landings of 11,000 pounds of
silver salmon were taken from the Great Lakes. Red salmon
landings were 212.2 million pounds valued at $305.4 million,
a decrease of 23.9 million pounds (10 percent) in quantity
and an increase of $66.0 million (28 percent) in value
compared with 1985. King salmon landings increased to 30.8
million pounds— up 3.7 million pounds (13 percent) from
1985. Pink salmon landings of 268.6 million pounds in 1986
decreased by 50.5 million pounds (16 percent); chum salmon,
86.5 million pounds, decreased 6.0 million pounds (7
percent); and silver salmon, 60.4 million pounds, increased
8.3 million pounds (16 percent) compared with 1985.

Alaska landings of 589.6 million pounds valued at
$404.1 million were a decrease of 61.9 million pounds (10
percent) in quantity and an increase of $34.3 million (9
percent) in value compared with 1 985. However, the 1 986
landings were still the fourth largest in history. The
distribution of Alaska salmon landings by species in 1986
was pink, 268.6 million pounds (46 percent); red or sockeye,
194.9 million pounds (33 percent); chum or keta, 73.7 million
pounds (12 percent), silver or coho, 41.3 million pounds (7
percent), and chinook or king, 11.2 million pounds (2
percent). The pink salmon catch in Southeast Alaska (45.8
million pounds) and sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay (15.9
million pounds) were the largest contributors to the
commercial fisheries. The exvessel price per pound for all
species in Alaska was 69 cents in 1986, up 12 cents from
1985.

Washington salmon landings were 48.1 million pounds
valued at $53.4 million— a decrease of 16.5 million pounds
(26 percent) in quantity and an increase of $3.9 million (8
percent) in value compared with 1985. The biennial fishery
for pink salmon went from 22.0 million pounds in 1985 to
4,000 pounds in 1986. Landings of silver salmon were I 1.9
million pounds— up 2.2 million pounds (23 percent), followed
by red salmon, 17.3 million (up 6 percent), chum, 12.8
million (up 13 percent), and chinook, 6.0 million pounds (up
14 percent) compared with 1985. The average exvessel
price per pound for all species in Washington went from 77
cents in 1985 to $1.1 I in 1986.

Oregon salmon landings were 13.4 million pounds
valued at $15.3 million— an increase of 7.3 million pounds
(119 percent) in quantity and $6.4 million (73 percent) in
value compared with 1985. Red salmon was the only species
to show a decrease, with 14,000 pounds landed in 1986
compared with 143,000 pounds in 1985. Landings of chinook
salmon increased to 6.4 million pounds (up 68 percent);
chum, 8,000 pounds (up 100 percent); and silver 6.9 million
pounds (up 280 percent) compared with 1985. The average

price of large east coast bluefin tuna was $3.33 per pound.

Sixteen percent of the tuna landings were at ports in
the continental United States, principally California with 77
percent of the continental landings.

CLAMS. Landings of all species yielded 145.4 million
pounds of meats valued at $134.9 million— a decrease of 5.2
million pounds (3 percent) in quantity, but an increase of
$6.6 million (5 percent) in value compared with 1985. The

average exvessel price per pound increased to 93 cents in
1 986 from 85 cents in 1 985.

Surf clams yielded 78.7 million pounds of meats
valued at $42.6 million—an increase of 6.2 million pounds (9
percent) in quantity, and $3.7 million (10 percent) in value
compared with 1985. New Jersey was the leading State with
36.5 million pounds (up 10 percent), followed by Virginia,
12.2 million (down 9 percent); New York, I 1.9 million (up 61
percent); Maryland, 8.7 million (down 2 percent); and
Massachusetts, 7.2 million pounds (down 9 percent). The
average exvessel price per pound of meats was 54 cents, the
same as 1985. Most of the surf clam landings continue to
be produced from the heavily regulated EEZ fisheries off
New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula, and some off New
England. During 1986, 55.0 million pounds of surf clam
meats (70 percent) were derived from EEZ waters. Inshore
landings during 1986 were primarily from New Jersey and
New York. The 1 987 EEZ landings are predicted to be
similar to 1986, while inshore New York landings should
decline due to diminished resource abundance.

The ocean quahog fishery produced 45.4 million
pounds of meats valued at $15.7 million— a decrease of 6.6
million pounds (13 percent) in quantity, and $158,000 (I
percent) in value compared with 1985. During 1986, 43.6
million pounds of ocean quahog meats (96 percent) were
caught in the EEZ. New Jersey was the leading producer
with 24.2 million pounds of meats accounting for 53 percent
of the total ocean quahog landings. The value for New
Jersey in 1986 was $7.3 million— a decrease of $1.4 million
(16 percent) compared with 1985. Maryland landings were
12.0 million pounds valued at $3.6 million— a decrease of 1.2
million pounds (9 percent) in quantity and $469,000 (12
percent) in value compared with 1985. The average exvessel
price per pound of meats was 35 cents in 1 986, compared to
31 cents in 1985. The decline in ocean quahog landings in
1986 was due in primarily to a short term market glut in
clam supplies, attributable in part to heavy landings from
the Long Island Sound surf clam fishery. Abundance of
ocean quahogs in the EEZ remains high and capable of
supporting the 1987 EEZ quota of 60 million pounds for
many years into the future.

The hard clam fishery produced I 1.8 million pounds
of meats valued at $46.8 million— a decrease of 4.9 million
pounds (29 percent) in quantity, and $4.5 million (9 percent)
in value compared with 1985. Landings in the New England
region (mainly Rhode Island) were 5.7 million pounds of

(69 percent) compared with 1985. The average exvessel
price per pound of $3.38 in 1986 was substantially higher
tnan the $2.62 received in 1985. The fishery in the Bering

LOBSTERS, AMERICAN. American lobster landings were
46.1 million pounds valued at $120.6 million— a decrease in
quantity of only 99,000 pounds (less than I percent), but an
increase in value of $5.7 million (5 percent) compared with

with 19.7 million pounds valued at $46.2 million — down
420,000 pounds (2 percent) from 1 985. Massachusetts, the

second leading producer, had landings of 15.0 million pounds
valued at $41.2 million, a decrease of 553,000 pounds (4
percent) compared with 1985. These two States combined
to produce 75 percent of the total national landings. The
average exvessel price per pound was $2.62 in 1 986
compared with $2.49 in 1986.

U.S. landings of American lobster have increased
steadily during the last decade. This increase has largely
been attributable to increases in the inshore trap fishery.
The offshore fishery, which typically accounts for less than
20 percent of total landings, has remained relatively
stable. A continual increase in fishing effort is responsible,
in part, for higher landings in coastal waters. It is currently
estimated that in excess of 3 million traps are set
annually. Exploitation rates for lobsters in coastal waters
are extremely high and there is concern for the long-term
viability of the resource. Fishery-independent measures of
abundance, however, indicate that lobster population levels
are currently stable.

LOBSTERS, SPINY. U.S. landings of spiny lobster were 6.8
million pounds valued at $19.2 million— an increase of 1.5

percent) in value compared with 1985. This was the highest
annual catch since 1 983. Massachusetts was the leading
State in landings of sea scallops with 10.7 million pounds of
meats, 54 percent of the national total. The average
exvessel price per pound of meats in 1986 was $4.87
compared with $4.71 in 1985. The increase in the 1986
catch (the first increase since 1978) was due to the marked
improvement in the abundance of harvestable-size scallops
on Georges Bank and in the Middle Atlantic region from
outstanding recruitment of the 1982 class. Abundance is
expected to increase further in 1987 due to the additional
strong recruitment from the 1983 year class. As a
consequence, scallop landings in 1987 are expected to be
higher than those of 1 986. Since May 1 982, the U.S. sea

scallop fishery has been managed under the Atlantic Sea
Scallop FMP. The FMP requires that the size of scallops
landed average 30 meats to the pound.

Landings of calico scallops were 1.6 million pounds of

Pacific coast squid production of 42.3 million pounds was 90
percent higher than the 1985 production of 22.3 million

tinued the strong recovery being made from the climatic
effects of El Nino (see glossary) which depressed past
landings.

The New England region landings were 19.2 million

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. per capita consumption
of fish and shellfish was a record 14.7 pounds (edible meat)
in 1986. This total was 0.3 pounds more than the 14.4
pounds consumed per capita in 1985. The change was due to
increased imports, a reduction of stocks and increased
consumption of all fishery products, expecially shellfish and
canned tuna and shellfish.

Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products
registered a total of 9.0 pounds, identical to the 1985
total. Fresh and frozen finfish consumption, remained at
5.6 pounds per capita in 1986, while fresh and frozen
shellfish registered 3.4 pounds per capita. Record shrimp
consumption (2.2 pounds per capita) accounted for most of
this increase. The fresh and frozen finfish consumption
includes approximately 0.4 pounds per capita from domestic
farm-raised catfish.

Consumption of canned fishery products was 5.4
pounds per capita in I 986, up 0.3 pounds from the 5. 1 pounds
in 1985.

In addition to consumption of commercially caught
fish and shellfish, recreational fishermen caught and

products were at a high of 63.3 million pounds on November
30, and a low of 31.6 million pounds on May 31. Saltwater
fillets and steaks holdings reached a high of 62.3 million
pounds on January 30, and were at a low of 48.0 million
pounds on March 31. Holdings of blocks and slabs were at a
high of 49.0 million pounds on August 31, and at a low of
29.4 million pounds on February 28. King crab holdings were
8.2 million pounds on January 31, but reached a low of 2.2
million pounds on July 31, 1985. Cold Storage holdings were
down every month in 1986 compared to 1985, resulting in a 7
percent annual decline. This decline in holdings of frozen
fishery products was a direct result of a decline in domestic
commercial landings, at a time when consumer demand for
fishery products is at its higest level ever.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

DATA COLLECTION. While data on commercial fisheries have
been collected for many years, detailed statistical information on
marine recreational fishing is also required to support a variety of
fishery management and development purposes. These include
the objectives of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. However, the lack of a continuous or
systematic collection of marine recreational fishery data had
prevented the accomplishment of these goals. Therefore, NMFS
began a new comprehensive Marine Recreational Fishery
Statistics Survey (MRFSS) in 1979. Surveys have been conducted
in the following areas and years:

Atlantic and Gulf, 1979 through 1986
Pacific, mid-1979 through 1986
Western Pacific, 1979 through 1981
Caribbean, 1979, 1981

Preliminary estimates of catch and trips from the MRFSS for the
Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts for 1986 are presented in the
tables below. Summary graphs for 1979-1986 catch and trips are
also shown. The survey is being conducted in 1987 along the
Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts.

These surveys use an intercept survey of fishermen in the
field and an independent telephone survey of households. Each
component survey provides certain information that is combined
to produce estimates of recreational catch, fishing effort and
participation. Estimates are generated by subregion or State,
species, mode and area of fishing. In addition, information on
catch rates and fish lengths and weights is obtained.

The MRFSS is only one of several NMFS efforts to obtain
data on recreational fisheries. Specialized surveys on particular
fisheries or to obtain socio-economic data are also conducted by
NMFS. The Southeast partyboat fishing survey is one example,
and I 985 results from that survey are presented on page 27.

DATA TABLES. The MRFSS catch data show the total number of
fish caught for twenty of the most frequently caught species
groups in each survey area. Total number caught includes those
fish brought ashore in whole form which were available for
identification, weighing, and measuring as well as those not
available for identification. This latter category includes those
fish used for bait, discarded, filleted or released alive. Each
fisheries group may contain one or more species, genera, or
families.

Several tables show the distribution of total catch by
subregion, fishing area and mode. The fishing areas are: ocean 3
miles or less from land, ocean more than 3 miles from land, inland
(sounds, rivers, bays), and unknown. However, ocean data outside
3 miles for the Gulf coast of Florida are further divided into 3 to
10 miles and more than 10 miles from land.

The fishing modes are: shore (man-made structures and
beach/bank from previous surveys), party/charter boat, and
private/rental boat. However, partyboats were not sampled in
the South Atlantic and Gulf subregions, so party/charter
estimates include only charterboats in these areas.

The fishing trip table indicates the estimated number of
trips by coastal residents (generally residing within 25 miles of
the coast), non-coastal residents of the subregion bordering
saltwater, and non-residents.

The 1986 survey did not include Texas or the
January/February wave for Atlantic coast States north of
Georgia. The data presented below will be finalized in separate
marine recreational fishery reports to be published this summer.

PRELIMINARY 1986 MRFSS DATA. The U.S. marine

recreational finfish catch in 1986 (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and
Pacific coast salmon) was an estimated 466.1 million fish. These
fish weighed approximately 699.2 million pounds and were taken
on an estimated 72.4 million fishing trips. The estimated number
of U.S. marine recreational fishermen has been relatively stable
over the last few years at 17 million. Excluding catches of
freshwater and industrial species (such as anchovies and
menhaden), the marine recreational catch comprised
approximately 30 percent of the total U.S. finfish landings used
for food in 1 986.

The Atlantic and Gulf coasts accounted for approximately
88 percent of the total U.S. marine recreational finfish catch by
number. Eighty-five percent of the estimated U.S. trips were
made on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Approximately 14 percent of the total U.S. catch by
number was made in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the
principal area of NMFS management authority. However, for
some species (e.g., red snapper, bocaccio) over 70 percent of the
catch was made in the EEZ.

The private/rental boat mode accounted for 60 percent of
the total U.S. marine recreational finfish catch in number. Shore
mode catches were 25 percent of the total and party/charter
catches (excluding South Atlantic and Gulf partyboats) were 15
percent of the total.

Atlantic and Gulf. In terms of number of fish, black sea bass was
the most frequently caught species on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts in 1986. This was different from previous years when
bluefish was the top-ranked species in 5 of the last 7 years.
Other frequently caught species in 1986 were Atlantic croaker,
bluefish, and scup. Top-ranked species in each subregion in 1986
were scup in the North Atlantic, black sea bass in the Mid-
Atlantic, Atlantic croaker and spot in the South Atlantic, and
spotted seatrout in the Gulf of Mexico. The Mid-Atlantic (40
percent) and Gulf (32 percent) subregions accounted for the
highest numbers of Atlantic and Gulf coasts fishes. These data
are consistent with the results obtained in the 1983 to 1985
surveys (See Fisheries of the U.S., 1 985).

The inland and ocean 3 miles or less from shore areas
accounted for approximately 81 percent of the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts catch in number. Sixteen percent of the remaining catch
was from the ocean more than 3 miles fron shore.

Sixty-two percent of the Atlantic and Gulf coast catches
was taken in the private/rental boat mode in 1986. However,
other modes were important for particular species such as black
sea bass from the party/charter boat mode and kingfishes from
the shore mode.

Coastal residents accounted for 71 percent of the Atlantic
and Gulf trips made in 1986. Non-residents accounted for an
additional 25 percent of the trips. Total trips in the Mid-Atlantic
exceeded all other subregions. This distribution of trips was
similar to previous years.

Pacific. The catch of Pacific mackerel was the highest of any
species on the Pacific coast in 1986. Top-ranked species groups
in each subregion were Pacific mackerel in Southern California,
rockfishes and surf smelt in Northern California, black rockfish in
Oregon, and surf smelt in Washington. Southern California
accounted for 64 percent of the Pacific coast catch. Data on
salmon were not included in the NMFS survey as a result of a
cooperative arrangement with the Pacific coast States. These
States had ongoing salmon data collection efforts which
estimated a Pacific coast total salmon catch of 950,000 fish in
1985.

The ocean 3 miles or less from shore area had the highest
catch in number (56 percent) on the Pacific coast in 1986. The
Pacific coast portion of the catch in the ocean more than 3 miles
from shore (18 percent) was similar to the 16 percent for the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

The overall catch among fishing modes was more evenly
distributed on the Pacific coast than on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. Percentage catches in number of fish were 43 percent for
private/rental boats, 30 percent for party/charter boats, and 27
percent for the shore mode.

The percentage of trips by coastal residents (89 percent)
was higher on the Pacific coast than the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
(71 percent). Fifty-five percent of the Pacific coast trips in 1986
were in the Southern California subregion. Considering that an
additional 25 percent of the trips were made in the Northern
California subregion, 80 percent of the non-salmon Pacific coast
trips in 1986 were made in California.

back to 1970 as published in FAO Yearbook of Fishery Statistics, Vol. 48 and 50. However,
prior to 1974, data on freshwater and marine catches were not revised. Therefore, for the
years 1970 to 1973, data will not add to the grand total.

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

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

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

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

(6) Domestic landings data used in calculating these data are preliminary.

*Record.

Note:--These consumption figures refer only to consumption of fish and shellfish entering
commercial channels, and they do not include data on consumption of recreati onal ly caught
fish and shellfish which since 1970 is estimated to be between 3 to 4 pounds (edible meat)
per person annually. The figures are calculated on the basis of raw edible meat, i.e.
excluding bones, viscera, shells, etc. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) consumption
figures for red meats and poultry are based on the retail weight of the products, as
purchased in retail stores. USDA estimates the net edible weight to be about 70-95 percent
of the retail weight, depending on the cut and type of meat. From 1970 through 1980, data
were revised to reflect the results of the 1980 census.

PER CAPITA
U.S. USE

83

Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based
on the supply of fishery products, both edible and nonedible
(industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without
considering beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases,
or exports ( see page 70).

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita
consumption data (see page 80 ). Per capita consumption
figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight

consumption rather than round weight consumption. In
addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for
beginning and ending stocks and exports, whereas the use
does not include such allowances.

Per capita use is derived by using total population
including U.S. Armed Forces overseas. The per capita
consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

PRICES

The procedure for calculating the Index of Exvessel
Prices for all fish and shellfish has been reviewed and
modified for inclusion in this year's publication. Major
changes in the U.S. fishing industry have occured since the
index was originally designed. The result was that the
"market basket" or group of species used to calculate the
index was no longer representative of the price trends for
all fish and shellfish. The index has been recalculated with
a new market basket and 1986 as the base year. The result
is a recalculated index for 1981-86. A monthly index of
exvessel prices will be added to the 1987 publication.

In the table that follows, the exvessel price for any
given year was obtained by dividing total value by total
quantity as reported in the catch by species or distance

from shore tables. The index for each species or group
was obtained by multiplying the current annual price by the
total quantity caught in 1986 (the base year). That number
was then divided by the 1986 value to obtain the final index:

(Current price X 1986 quantity)
1986 Annual Value

Index

Each index number calculated for years other than
the base year of 1986 measures price changes from the
reference period ( 1 986) which equals 1 .00. A species of fish
that sold for $0.75 a pound in 1981 and a $1.00 a pound in
1986 would have an index of 0.75 in 1981. In 1987, if the
price of the same species increases 5 percent to $1.05, the
index in 1987 would be 1.05.

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONVERSATION
AND MANAGEMENT ACT

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson Act), Public Law 94-265 as amended,
provides for the conservation and management of all fishery
resources within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
except highly migratory species of tuna. If also provides for
fishery management authority over continental shelf
resources and anadromous species beyond the EEZ, except
when they are found within a foreign nation's territorial sea
or fishery conservation zone (or equivalent), to the extent
that such sea or zone is recognized by the United States.

The EEZ extends from the seaward boundaries of the
territorial sea (3 nautical miles from shore for all but two
States) to 200 nautical miles from shore. The seaward
boundaries of Texas, Puerto Rico, and the Gulf Coast of
Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles).

GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS

Under the Magnuson Act, the U.S. Department of
State, with cooperation from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S.
Department of Commerce, negotiates Governing
International Fishery Agreements (GIFAs) with foreign
countries wishing to fish within the EEZ. After a GIFA is
signed, it is transmitted by the President to the Congress
for review.

The permit fees in 1986 recovered costs of issuing
permits, based upon a standard administrative charge of
$167 for each foreign permit application.

Poundage fees are charged for the fish harvested by
foreign vessels. Poundage fees vary in relation to the
exvessel values of the species harvested by a nation's
vessels. Poundage fees are not currently charged for U.S.
harvested fish received by foreign vessels. Collections from
1986 poundage fees were expected to decrease below 1985
collections because of sharp reductions in foreign fishing in
1986.

The surcharge is to capitalize a fund to compensate
U.S. fishermen operating in the EEZ whose vessels or gear
are lost or damaged because of conflicts with foreign
vessels. The surcharge on poundage and permit fees was
waived in 1986 because the fund was fully capitalized.

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.

Beginning in FY 1987, the Secretary may also require
an incremental fee which is a percentage of the poundage
fee from any country found not to be cooperating in the
conservation and development of U.S. fishery resources.

FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS

Vessels of foreign nations which have GIFAs with the
United States may fish in the EEZ for species managed
under the Magnuson Act after receiving an allocation of
that species and a valid fishing permit. After a GIFA is in
force, a foreign nation must submit a permit application to
the U.S. Department of State for each vessel to fish in the
EEZ. Permit applications must also be made for foreign
vessels to receive U.S. harvested fish in the EEZ, and to
conduct any other operation in support of the catching,
taking, or harvesting of fish in the EEZ. The U.S.
Department of State provides copies of the applications to
the Congress, the U.S. Coast Guard, the appropriate
Regional Fishery Management Councils, and to the Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries of the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) with its recommendations. The NMFS also
receives recommendations from the Regional Fishery
Management Councils and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as
the general public.

The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries reviews
recommendations bearing on approval of each application
and, after consulting with the U.S. Department of State and
the U.S. Coast Guard, may approve an application in whole
or in part. Any conditions and restrictions on the approval
of an application are sent to the foreign nation through the
U.S. Department of State, and must be accepted by the
nation before a permit is issued.

FEES

Foreign nations engaged in fisheries subject to U.S.
jurisdiction are charged permit fees, poundage fees, a
foreign fee surcharge, and an observer fee.

FOREIGN ALLOCATIONS

The total allowable level of foreign fishing (TALFF),
if any, for any fishery subject to the exclusive fishery
management authority of the United States is that portion
of the optimum yield (OY) of such fishery that will not be
harvested by vessels of the United States

Each assessment of OY and each assessment of the
anticipated U.S. harvest is reviewed during each fishing
season. Adjustments to TALFFs are based on updated
information relating to status of stocks, estimated and
actual performance of domestic and foreign fleets, and
other relevant factors.

FMPs and PMPs

Under the Magnuson Act, eight Regional Fishery
Management Councils are charged with preparing Fishery
Management Plans (FMPs) for the fisheries needing
management under their jurisdiction. After the Councils
develop FMPs which cover domestic and foreign fishing
efforts, the FMPs are submitted to the Secretary of
Commerce for approval and implementation. The
Department, through NMFS agents and the U.S. Coast
Guard, is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations.

The Secretary of Commerce is also empowered to
prepare plans. Where no FMP exists, Preliminary Fishery
Management Plans (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

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONVERSATION
AND MANAGEMENT ACT

95

Council has not duly produced. In this latter case, the Secretary's
plan covers domestic and foreign fishing.

As of December 31, 1986, six Preliminary Fishery
Management Plans (PMPs) were in effect, many of which have
been amended since first being implemented.

Fishery Management Plans (FMPs)

Under section 304 of the Magnuson Act, all Council
prepared Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) must be reviewed by
the Secretary of Commerce. After FMPs have been approved
under section 304 of the Magnuson Act, they are implemented by
federal regulations, under section 305 of the Act. During 1986,
two new FMPs adopted by the various Fishery Management
CouYicils, were submitted for Secretarial review and approved.
There are now 26 fisheries under federal management. The FMPs
are listed below, and those marked with an asterik (*) were
approved and implemented during 1986, After implementation,
many FMPs are amended by the Council and submitted for
approval under the same Secretarial review process as new
FMPs. Many of the Plans listed below have been amended since
initial implementation.

The National Fisheries Institute, a national trade
association of seafood processors, brokers, importers, and
buyers, in cooperation with and under contract to the
National Marine Fisheries Service, has prepared a series of
economic profiles of the U.S. seafood processing industry.

These profiles will serve as a primer for regulatory
and policy analysts who may not be familiar with the
intricacies of seafood processing and of economic con-
straints facing seafood processors, who are predominately
small businessmen.

They present the business world of the seafood
processor from an intergrated perspective, and address the
resource, harvesting, processing, and marketing practices
and constraints. The text is designed for the general reader
and details are given only to illustrate the complexity of the
industry. A thorough treatment of many topics is
intentionally avoided and technical references are kept to a
minimum. However, sufficient statistical data and
references are provided to support economic analyses and
further study.

The following reports may be purchased by mail directly from the National Technical Information Service.

FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts activities to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the U.S.
fishing industry in the world economy. Information is available for identifying foreign and domestic markets for a variety of
species of fish and shellfish. Factors affecting international trade in fisheries products are analyzed, and information
provided to government and industry. Information is also obtainable on government food purchase programs. In addition,
financial services are available to give fishermen access to private sources of long term financing for fishing vessel
construction, reconstruction, and reconditioning.

GLOSSARY

115

ANADROMOUS SPECIES. These are species of fish fhat mature in
the ocean, and then ascend streams to spawn in freshwater. In the
MFCMA, these species include, but are not limited to, Atlantic and
Pacific salmons, steelhead trout, and striped bass. See 42 FR 60682,
Nov. 28, 1 977.

ANALOG PRODUCTS. These include imitation and simulated crab,
lobster, shrimp, scallops, and other fish and shellfish products
fabricated from processed fish meat (such as surimi).

CURED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Products preserved by drying,
pickling, salting, or smoking. Do not include canned, frozen,
irradiated, or pasteurized products. Dried products are cured by sun
or air-drying; pickled or salted products are those products
preserved by applying salt, or by pickling (immersing in brine or in a
vinegar or other preservative solution); smoked products are cured
with smoke or a combination of smoking and drying or salting.

EDIBLE WEIGHT. The edible weight of individual products as
consumed.

BOAT, OTHER. Commercial fishing craft not powered by a motor,
e.g., rowboat or sailboat, having a capacity of less than 5 net tons.
See motorboat.

BREADED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or other forms of
fish or shellfish coated with a non-leavened mixture containing
cereal products, flavorings, and other ingredients. Breaded products
are sold raw or partially cooked.

BATTER-COATED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or other
forms of fish or shellfish coated with a batter containing a leavening
agent and mixture of cereal products, flavoring, and other
ingredients, and partially cooked in hot oil a short time to expand
and set the batter.

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (EEC). Belgium and
Luxembourg, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Greece,
France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and United
Kingdom.

EXPORT VALUE. The value reported is generally equivalent to
f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value at the U.S. port of export, based on
the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance, and other
charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at
the U.S. port of exportation. The value excludes the cost of loading,
freight, insurance and any other charges or transportation costs
beyond the port of exportation.

EXVESSEL PRICE. Price received by the harvester for fish,
BREADED SHRIMP. Peeled shrimp coated with breading. The shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals,

product may be identified as fantail (butterfly) and rcund, with or
without tail fins and last shell segment; also known as portions,
sticks, steaks, etc., when prepared from a composite unit of two or
more shrimp pieces, whole shrimp, or a combination of both without
fins or shells.

BUTTERFLY FILLET. Two skin-on fillets of a fish joined together
by the belly skin. See fillets.

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Fish, shellfish, or other aquatic
animals packed in cans, jars, or other containers, which are
hermetically sealed and heat-sterilized. Canned fishery products
may include milk, vegetables, or other products. Most, but not all,
canned fishery products can be stored at room temperature for an
indefinite time without spoiling.

"FISH AND CHIPS." This United States fisheries policy links foreign
fishing privileges in the U.S. EEZ to foreign country contributions to
the development of the U.S. fishing industry. These include
reductions of foreign tariff and non-tariff barriers that restrict
importation of fishery products, and other cooperation in advancing
opportunities for fishery trade. This policy was incorporated into
the foreign nation species allocation process as a matter of law by
the 1 980 amendments to the Magnuson Act.

FISH BLOCKS. Regular fish blocks are frozen blocks or slabs of
fillets or pieces of fillets cut or sliced from fish. Minced fish blocks
are frozen blocks or slabs of minced flesh produced by a meat and
bone separating machine.

COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who derives income
from catching and selling living resources taken from inland or
marine waters.

CONSUMPTION OF EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS. Estimated
amount of commercially landed fish, shellfish, and other aquatic
animals consumed by the civilian population of the United States.
Estimates are on an edible-weight basis and have been adjusted for
beginning and ending inventories of edible fishery products.
Consumption includes U.S. production of fishery products from both
domestically caught and imported fish, shellfish, other edible
aquatic plants, animals, and imported products; and excludes exports
and purchases by the U.S. Armed Forces.

FISH FILLETS. The sides of fish that are either skinned or have the
skin on, cut lengthwise from the backbone. Most types of fillets are
boneless or virtually boneless; some may be labeled as "boneless
fillets."

FISH MEAL. A high-protein animal feed supplement made by
cooking, pressing, drying, and grinding fish or shellfish.

FISH OIL. An oil extracted from body (body oil) or liver (liver oil) of
fish and marine mammals; mostly a byproduct of fish meal
production.

CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RESOURCES. These are living
organisms of any sedentary species that at the harvestable stage are
either (a) immobile on or under the seabed or (b) unable to move
except in constant physical contoct with the seabed or subsoil of the
continental shelf. The MFCMA now lists them as certain abalones,
surf clam and ocean quahog, queen conch, Atlantic deep-sea red
crab, dungeness crab, stone crab, king crabs, snow (tanner) crabs,
American lobster, certain corals, and sponges.

FISH PORTION. A piece of fish flesh that is generally of uniform
size with thickness of 3/8 of an inch or nore and differs from a fish
stick in being wider or of a different shape. A fish portion is
generally cut from a fish block.

FISH SOLUBLES. A water-soluble protein byproduct of fish meal
production. Fish solubles are generally condensed to 50 percent

solids and marketed as "condensed fish solubles."

116

GLOSSARY

FISH STEAK. A cross-section siice cut from a large dressed fish.
A steak is usually about 3/4 of an inch thick.

FISH STICK. An elongated piece of breaded fish flesh weighing not
less than 3/4 of an ounce and not more than I-I/2 ounces with the
largest dimension at least three times that of the next larger
dimension. A fish stick is generally cut from a fish block.

LANDINGS, COMMERCIAL. Quantities of fish, shellfish, and other
aquatic plants and animals brought ashore and sold. Landings of fish
may be in terms of round (live) weight or dressed weight. Landings
of crustaceans are generally on a live-weight basis except for shrimp
which may be on a heads-on or heads-off basis. Mollusks are
generally landed with the shell on, but for some species only the
meats are landed, such as sea scallops. Data for all mollusks are
published on a meat-weight basis.

FISHING CRAFT, COMMERCIAL. Boats and vessels engaged in
capturing fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals for
sale.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan developed by a
Regional Fishery Management Council, or the Secretary of
Commerce under certain circumstances, to manage a fishery
resource in the U.S. EEZ pursuant to the MFCMA.

FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN.

An individual who
annual income from

receives more than 50 percent of their

commercial fishing activities, including port activity, such as vesse

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 1 00
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, Atlantic pollock, and Atlantic Ocean perch.

MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT,
Public Law 94-265, as amended, (MFCMA). The Act provides a
national program for the conservation and management of fisheries
to allow for an optimum yield (OY) on a continuing basis and to
realize the full potential of the Nation's fishery resources. The
MFCMA established the U.S. Exclusive Economics zone (EEZ)
(formerly the FCZ - fishery conservation zone) and a means to
control foreign and certain domestic fisheries through PMPs and
FMPs. Within the U.S. EEZ, 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. EEZ for all continental shelf fishery resources and
all anadromous species throughout the migratory range of each such
species, except during the time they are found within any foreign
nation's territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or the
equivalent), to the extent that such a sea or zone is recognized by
the United States.

MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish, shellfish,
and other living aquatic organisms caught, but not necessarily
brought ashore, by marine recreational fishermen.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure,

amusement, relaxation, or home consumption. If part or all of the
catch is sold, the monetary returns constitute an insignificant part
of the person's income.

IMPORT VALUE. Value of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs
Service according to the Tariff Act of 1 930, as amended. It may be
based on foreign market value, export value, constructed value,
American selling price, etc. It generally represents a value in a
foreign country, and therefore excludes U.S. import duties, freight,
insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to
the United States.

IMPORT WEIGHT. The weights of individual products as exported,
i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc.

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, 1 950, was for the investigation, protection, and
conservation of the fishery resources of the Northwest Atlantic
Ocean. In 1 975, there were 18 member nations. The United States
withdrew from ICNAF on December 31, 1 976, because continued
adherence to the convention was deemed incompatible with the
extension of U.S. fishery management jurisdictions to 200 miles
under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of
1 976. See Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO).

JOINT VENTURE. An operation authorized under the MFCMA in
which a permitted foreign vessel receives fish in the U.S. FCZ from
a U.S. vessel. The fish received from the U.S. vessel are part of the
U.S. harvest.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN. Those people who fish in
marine waters primarily for recreational purposes. Their catch is
primarily for home consumption, although occasionally a part or all
of their catch may be sold and enter commercial channels.

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

METRIC TONS. A measure of weight equal to 1,000 kilograms,
0.984 long tons, 1.1023 short tons, or 2,204.6 pounds.

NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES ORGANIZATION (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.

MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft having a
capacity of less than 5 net tons or not officially documented by the
Coast Guard. See "boat, other."

OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the MFCMA, OY with respect to the
yield from a fishery, is the amount of fish that (I) will provide the

GLOSSARY

117

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.

SURIMI. Minced fish meat (usually Alaska pollock) which has been
washed to remove fat and undesirable matters (such as blood,
pigments, and odorous substances), and mixed with cryoprotectants,
such as sugar and/or sorbitol, for a good frozen shelf life.

PACKAGED FISH. A term used in NMFS publications prior to 1 972
to designate fresh or frozen raw fish fillets and steaks.

PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who
receives less than 50 percent of their annual income from
commercial fishing activities.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION.

Consumption of edible fishery
divided by the total civilian

products in the United States

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.

TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING (TALFF). The
TALFF, if any, with respect to any fishery subject to the exclusive
fishery management authority of the United States, shall be that
portion of the optimum yield of such fishery which will not be
harvested by vessels of the United States, as determined by
provisions of the MFCMA.

U.S. EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ). The MFCMA defines
this zone as contiguous to the territorial sea of the United States
and extending seaward 200 nautical miles measured from the
baseline from which the territorial sea is measured. This was
formerly referred to as the FCZ (Fishery Conservation Zone).

U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by all U.S. fishing
vessels regardless of where landed as opposed to landings at ports in
the 50 States. These include landings at foreign ports, U.S.
territories, and foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ under joint venture
agreements. U.S. law prohibits vessels constructed or registered in
foreign countries to land fish catches at U.S. ports.

PRELIMINARY FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (PMP). The
Secretary of Commerce prepares a PMP whenever a foreign nation
with whom the United States has made a Governing International
Fishery Agreement (GIFA) submits an application to fish in a fishery
not managed by a FMP. A PMP is replaced by an FMP as soon as the
latter is implemented. 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.

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 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 identification.

FEDERAL INSPECTION MARKS.
Federal inspection marks are official marks
approved by the Secretary of Commerce
and authorized for use on brand labels of
fishery products. When displayed on
product labels, these marks signify that
inspectors licensed by the Department of
Commerce inspected, graded, and certified
the products as having met all the
requirements of inspection regulations, and
have been produced in accordance with
official U.S. grade standards or approved
specifications.

WHAT DO THE INSPECTION MARKS
MEAN? The distinctive inspection marks
are symbols that signify two distinct but
related functions in guiding the consumer
to safe, wholesome products produced in
a sanitary environment and packed in
accordance with uniform quality standards

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

"U.S. GRADE" MARK,
mark signifies that:

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.

acceptable commercial quality as
determined by Federal inspectors in
accordance with approved standards or
specifications.
