THE METRIC SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT

On December 23, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed
the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-168),
which established that the policy of the US.
Government shall be to coordinate and plan the
increasing use of the metric system in the United States.
The law also established a U.S. Metric Board to
coordinate the voluntary conversion to the metric
system. The Metric Board will develop and carry out a
broad program of planning, coordination, and public
education to implement the policy established by this
Act. The Act did not provide the Metric Broad with any
compulsory powers. The United States is the only major
industrial power that has not fully converted to the
metric system.

What is the Metric System? The metric system is a
standard for weights and measures that is based on the
decimal system. All units are multiples of or can be
divided by ten and the standards for length, mass, and
volume are related. For example, one gram (mass) is
measured as the weight of one cubic centimeter of water
at its temperature of maximum density and the liter
(volume) is a cubic decimeter.

The metric system is simple to learn. There are only ten
units one must know for everyday use. Most units can
easily be equated with the English system of measure we
now use; but there are others, such as temperature, that
we will need to get used to. Some metric units, such as
time and electricity, are the same as what is in use now.

The basic units of the metric system are: the meter—a
little larger than a yard (about 1.1 yards), the liter--a
little larger than a quart (about 1.06 quarts), and the
gram—a little more than the weight of a paper clip.
There are three common prefixes used with these units:
mili, meaning one-thousandth (0.001); centi, meaning
one hundreth (0.01); and kilo meaning one thousand
times (1,000). For example, 1,000 millimeters equals
one meter, 100 centimeters equals one meter, and 1,000
meters equals 1 kilometer.

Learning the metric system is much easier than learning
the English system. However, in changing from one
system to another one tends to think in terms of the old
system. Listed below are the units used in the metric
system, equivalent units in the English system, and
factors for converting from the metric to the English
system.

PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. This is a
preliminary report on the fisheries of the United States
for 1975. The report is a continuation of similar annual
reports designed to provide timely answers to frequently
asked questions for the year just ended.

SOURCES OF DATA. Information presented in _ this
report came from many sources. Data on U.S. landings
and processed fishery products were collected and
compiled by the Regional Statistics and Market News
Divisions of the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) in cooperation with the various States. The data
were tabulated and made ready for publication by the
Washington office of the Statistics and Market News
Division. Sources of other data appearing in this
publication are: the U.S. Bureau of the Census, Customs
Service, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Coast Guard,
Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, and
the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the
United Nations.

UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE. As in all past
issues of this report the units of quantity and value are
defined as follows: U.S. or domestic landings are shown
in round weight, unless otherwise noted; quantities
shown for U.S. imports and exports are in product
weight as reported by the Bureau of the Census, unless
otherwise noted; the value of the U.S. or domestic catch
is exvessel (see Glossary); the value for U.S. imports
generally is the market value in the foreign (exporting)
country and, therefore, excludes U.S. import duties,

freight charges from the foreign country to the United
States, and insurance; the value for exports generally is
the value at the U.S. port of export, based on the selling
price, including inland freight, insurance, and other
charges.

PRELIMINARY. Data on U.S. commercial landings are
preliminary and unrevised for 1974 and 1975. Final
landings data will be published in annual summary
bulletins (see page 90, SR series) and later in Fishery
Statistics of the United States (Statistical Digest). Data
on U.S. production of processed products, employmeat,
cold storage holdings, and prices are preliminary for
1975. Final data on these subjects will be published in
annual summaries (see page 90, FF, FM, and MF series)
and later in the Statistical Digest.

SUGGESTIONS WANTED. Because the Statistics and
Market News Division wishes to provide the kinds of
data wanted by users of fishery statistics, the Division
welcomes any comments or suggestions that will lead to
an improvement in the presentation of fishery data.

REVIEW 1

U.S. COMMERCIAL LANDINGS. Commercial fishery
landings at ports in the United States were 4.8 billion
pounds valued at a record $970.8 million. The quantity
landed was 2 percent less than in 1974, and 1 percent less
than the average for 1970-74. The value of 1975 landings,
which established a new record, was 8 percent greater than
in 1974 and 4 percent greater than 1973, the previous
record year.

U.S. flag vessels also landed 189.6 million pounds valued
at $52.6 million at ports outside the United States in
1975. These landings consisted principally of tuna at ports
in Puerto Rico and shrimp at ports in the Caribbean area.

U.S. landings for human food were 2,430 million pounds
valued at $900 million. The quantity was about the same
as in previous years, but the value was a record. Landings
of the leading foodfish (tuna and salmon) increased slightly,
but landings of each of the leading shellfish (shrimp, crabs,
and clams) declined moderately. U.S. landings for
industrial purposes were 2,412 million pounds valued at
$71 million. The quantity was down 4 percent, and the
value was down 16 percent. The decline in quantity was
due to smaller landings of menhaden.

MARINE RECREATIONAL LANDINGS. U.S. marine
recreational fishermen in 1970, the most recent year
available, caught an estimated 1.6 billion pounds of marine
(saltwater) finfish, or about the same amount of edible
marine finfish as commercial fishermen landed in recent
years.

WORLD LANDINGS. World landings were 154.0 billion
pounds (69,845 thousand metric tons) in 1974, the most
recent year available. The United States ranked fifth in
world commercial landings. The top four countries were
Japan, the U.S.S.R., Peoples Republic of China, and Peru.

PRICES. Average prices received by U.S. fishermen, which
declined in almost all months of 1974, began an irregular

increase in the early months of 1975 and _ reached
near-record levels by the end of the year. Wholesale prices
followed a similar upward trend in 1975.

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The value of domestic
production of processed fishery products (fresh and frozen,
canned, cured, and industrial) was $2,699.0 million in
1975, down 2 percent from the record in 1974. The total
value of domestic production of edible products was
$2,392.7 million in 1975, about the same as in 1974.
Declines in value of production of canned tuna and canned
salmon were offset by increases in the value of the
production of frozen fish portions and breaded shrimp.
The value of industrial products was $306.3 million in
1975, down 21 percent from 1974, chiefly because of a
sharp decline in the value of production of canned pet food
and fish meal and oil.

FOREIGN TRADE. The value of U.S. imports of edible
and nonedible fishery products in 1975 was $1,637.1
million, down 4 percent from the record of 1974. Imports
of edible products of $1,367.2 million in 1975 were down
9 percent chiefly because of the sharp drop in imports of
raw tuna for canning, which more than offset a moderate
increase in imports of frozen blocks and fillets. U.S.
exports of edible and nonedible fishery products in 1975
were a record $304.7 million, up 16 percent from 1974,
due to increased exports of edible fishery products.

SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of commercial fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, live weight equivalent) was
10.1 billion pounds in 1975, up 3 percent compared to
1974 but down 12 percent from the average for the past 5
years. Imports provided 62 percent of the supply of edible
products and 36 percent of the supply of industrial
products in 1975.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Preliminary data show the
U.S. per capita consumption in 1975, to be 12.1 pounds of
fish (meat weight), the same as in 1974.

million pounds followed by California with 850
million; Virginia, 444 million; and Alaska, 438
million.

Alaska led all States in value of landings with $144 million
followed by California, $129 million; Texas, $93
million; and Louisiana, $88 million.

Tuna landings of 177 million pounds in Puerto Rico and
American Samoa accounted for 98 percent of the
landings made by U.S. craft at ports outside the
United States. Landings of shrimp by U.S. fishing
vessels at Central and South American ports
accounted for almost all the rest.

ICNAF. Most of the U.S. fisheries in the Northwest
Atlantic are subject to regulation by NMFS and the Coast
Guard pursuant to recommendations of the International
Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF).

At a special meeting of ICNAF in September 1975
agreement was reached on major United States proposals.
It was agreed to implement in 1976 the third year of a
3-year overall catch quota off the U.S. North Atlantic coast
at a level of 650,000 metric tons, 200,000 tons less than in
1975. Scientists say such a limit, if properly enforced, may
allow recovery of the overall biomass within a 7-year
period. A key feature is that the overall quota is a second
tier quota imposed over the individual country quotas on
specified species or stocks. The second tier quota for each
country is set below the sum of the individual species
quotas to correct assessment errors and stimulate more
selective fishing that will minimize by-catch problems. The
Commission also agreed on national allocations for the
1976 overall quota. Agreement was also reached on (1) a
closure of most of Georges Bank to foreign vessels fishing
with bottom gear capable of catching valuable and depleted
groundfish stocks and (2) a proposed national system of
registration for vessels engaged in fishing or fish processing
in the Convention Area.

ICCAT. In the Atlantic Ocean, fishing for bluefin tuna by
U.S. anglers and commercial fishermen is closely controlled
by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard in response to
recommendations of the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT). Regulations are
designed to protect undersize fish (under 14 pounds) and
the prime spawning size fish (115-299 pounds). The catch
of other sizes is restricted to amounts taken in recent
years. Commercial fishing for yellowfin tuna of less than 7
pounds (3.2 kilograms) is prohibited.

ANCHOVIES. Landings of anchovies were 330.7 million
pounds valued at $7.8 million in 1975. The quantity was up
31 percent compared with 1974 and 72 percent above the
average for the previous 5 years.

Almost all U.S. landings of anchovies are in California, and
by far the largest share of the Califomia catch is used for
reduction to fish meal and oil. Most of the remainder is used
for live bait. The State of California controls the amount of
anchovies that may be caught for reduction purposes. The
sharp increase in landings in 1975 was due to a relaxation of
California regulations to allow more fishing for reduction
purposes.

FLOUNDERS. Landings of Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific
flounders totaled 156.3 million pounds worth $43.2
million—an increase of 413,000 pounds and $9.1 million
compared with 1974. The value increase in large part was
attributable to the scarcity of the yellowtail flounder which
caused prices to rise from an average of $.25 per pound in
1974 to $.35 per pound in 1975. The Atlantic States
landings accounted for 67 percent of the total, followed by
the Pacific Coast States, 32 percent; and the Gulf States, 1
percent. Landings of Pacific flounders were 50.3 million
pounds worth $7.3 million—an increase of 3.3 million
pounds and $984,000. Almost all of the U.S. catch of
Atlantic flounders is taken in waters subject to ICNAF
catch recommendations (see “Other Important Facts’’). The
U.S. catch of yellowtail flounder, which has fallen steadily
from 72.0 million pounds in 1972 to 43.1 million pounds
in 1975, has been the subject of great concern. ICNAF has
sharply reduced the yellowtail catch quota for all nations
and given the United States almost all (99 percent) of the
total allowable catch in 1975 and 1976 in waters off the
U.S. Atlantic Coast.

GROUNDFISH. Landings of Atlantic groundfish and
similar species (cod, cusk, haddock, hakes, Atlantic ocean
perch, pollock, and whiting) were 181.3 million pounds
valued at $29.4 million, up 6 percent in volume and 24
percent in value compared with 1974. Larger landings of
haddock, hakes, pollock, and whiting were reponsible for
the increase. Cod landings of 55.9 million pounds worth
$13.1 million were the leading groundfish in terms of
quantity and value. Landings of whiting were 42.4 million
pounds in 1975-an increase of 44 percent compared with
the disastrous 1974 landings of 29.5 million pounds.
Atlantic ocean perch landings declined 23 percent
compared with 1974.

Landings of Pacific groundfish and similar species (cod,
hakes, ocean perch, and rockfishes) were 57.2 million
pounds valued at $7.7 million. Larger landings of all
species caused an increase of 34 percent in quantity and 25
percent in value.

All of the Atlantic groundfish are subject to quotas
recommended by ICNAF (see “Other Important Facts”).
In 1976 the United States was allocated for the Georges
Bank area (ICNAF Area 5) 65 percent of the cod catch, 76
percent of the ocean perch catch, 17 percent of the red
hake catch, and 26 percent of the silver hake (whiting)
catch. The U.S. allocation of pollock in 1976 for Area 5
and seaward in Area 4 VWX was 21 percent of the total
allowable catch by all nations. The U.S. allocation of
haddock in 1976 for Area 5 and seaward in Area 4X was
28 percent of the total allowable catch. The haddock
allocations pertain to by-catch only. There is no directed
fishery for haddock.

HALIBUT. U.S. landings of halibut were 21.6 million
pounds valued at $14.5 million in 1975, up 17 percent in
quantity and 55 percent in value compared with 1974.
This increase is the first since 1970. Slightly over 90
percent of total U.S. halibut landings were made in Alaska.
Almost all of the remainder was landed in Washington.

The U.S. Pacific fishery for halibut extends from the
Pacific Northwest to the Bering Sea. Management of the
halibut fishery of the United States and Canada in this area
is coordinated through the International Pacific Halibut
Commission (IPHC). Fishing by United States and
Canadian fishermen is restricted to hooks. In recent years
the halibut stocks in some areas have been substantially
reduced through the incidental catch by the trawl (net)
fisheries of other nations. Through international
negotiation, foreign trawling of halibut nursery grounds
now has been reduced. To further ensure the recovery of
halibut stocks the IPHC several years ago reduced the total
annual catch limit for U.S. and Canadian fishermen. IPHC
also increased the minimum size limit. In 1975 there was
evidence that halibut abundance was improved over
previous years in all areas except the Bering Sea.

HERRING, SEA. Landings of Atlantic and Pacific sea
herring were 119.3 million pounds worth $5.6 million. This
was only slightly less than the previous year’s catch of 120.3
million pounds, but more than $5.3 million less in yalue. The
Atlantic catch of 79.7 million pounds valued at $2.7 million
accounted for 67 percent of the total landings and about half
of the total value. Pacific landings were 39.6 million pounds
valued at $2.9 million.

The U.S. commercial fishery for Atlantic sea herring is
subject to U.S. regulations that comply with
recommendations of the International Commission for the
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF). Because sea herring
stocks have been severely depleted, ICNAF has sharply
reduced catch quotas for sea herring for the United States
and other countries.

MENHADEN. Landings of Gulf and Atlantic menhaden in
1975 were 1,802.7 million pounds valued at $49.3 million
(exvessel) a decline of 9 percent in quantity and 26 percent
in value compared to 1974. The sharp drop in value
reflects a decline in prices for fish meal and fish oil from
the abnormally high levels of 1974.

Landings of Gulf menhaden were 1,197.0 million pounds
in 1975, down 99 million pounds compared with 1974, but
the third largest on record. Fishing effort in the Gulf in
terms of thousands of vessel ton weeks was the highest
on record, but poor fishing weather during the season may
have been one factor that held down landings.

Landings of Atlantic menhaden were 605.8 million
pounds in 1975, down 11 percent from 1974. Fishing
effort was down slightly and there was a poor showing of
fish in New England, Middle Atlantic, and Chesapeake
fishing grounds.

About 97 percent of the Atlantic and Gulf landings were
used for reduction to fish meal, oil, and solubles in 1975.
Most of the remainder was used for fish bait. A small
amount was canned for animal food.

PACIFIC SALMON. Pacific salmon landings were 201.6
million pounds worth $116.3 million—a gain of 4.8 million
pounds but a decrease of $5.0 million compared with
1974. The harvest was the second smallest since 1915
when 120.4 million pounds were taken, and 76.8 million
pounds below the 1970-74 5-year average of 278.4 million
pounds. Landings of pink salmon (56.2 million pounds)
increased 50 percent and chinook salmon (31.3 million
pounds) increased 16 percent. The increase in these two
species offset the marked decline in chum or silver salmon
and smaller decline in red salmon. The decrease in value
resulted mainly from the lower prices received by fishermen
at dockside for all species of salmon landed in Washington
and Oregon.

Landings in Alaska increased 7 percent in volume and
accounted for 68 percent of the total salmon landings in
1975. Landings of pink salmon in Alaska (48.0 million
pounds) increased 29 percent and red salmon (42.8 million
pounds) increased 23 percent compared with 1974. There
were stronger than anticipated returns of lower Cook Inlet
and Prince William Sound pinks, Bristol Bay sockeye, and
Arctic-Yukon—Kuskokwim chum. The effects of the severe
winters of 1970-71 and 1971-72 on spawning areas
continue to depress runs in Southeastern Alaska, Kodiak,
Chignik, and the south side of the Alaska Peninsula areas.

Washington accounted for 22 percent of the total salmon
landings and was the only other State which showed a
slight increase. Landings of chinook salmon in Washington
(10.5 million pounds) increased 30 percent, and pink
salmon increased from 6,000 pounds in 1974 to 8.0 million
pounds in 1975.

TUNA. Tuna landings in the United States, Puerto Rico, and
American Samoa were a record 568.2 million pounds worth
$152.8 million—a gain of 17.1 million pounds but a decrease
of $10.9 million compared with 1974, the record year for
value. Principal reason for the larger harvest was a 7.3
million pound (52 percent) increase in landings of bluefin
tuna and a 6.0 million pound (4 percent) increase in landings
of skipjack tuna. There were smaller increases in landings of
albacore and yellowfin tuna. Lower exvessel prices paid to
fishermen in 1975 accounted for the value decrease.

About two-thirds of the landings made by the U.S. fleet
were at ports in the continental United States and Hawaii,
and one-third in Puerto Rico. A small quantity of tuna was
landed at American Samoa. Landings in the continental
United States and Hawaii were the second largest on
ree sh million pounds, 5.0 million pounds more than
in :

Record landings in Puerto Rico of 176.4 million pounds
were 11.4 million pounds more than in 1974.
Atlantic-caught tuna comprised 30 percent of total
unloadings in Puerto Rico. There were no Atlantic-caught
tuna unloaded at California in 1975.

Yellowfin tuna fishing by U.S. fishermen is closely
regulated by NMFS and the U.S. Coast Guard in a major
producing area of the eastern Pacific Ocean. The regulation
is in response to recommendations of the Inter-American
Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). In the Commission’s
Yellowfin Regulatory Area (CYRA) the total yellowfin quota
for member nations in 1975 was 175,000 short tons with
allowances for two increments of 10,000 tons each should
data from the fishery warrant such increases. In 1975 the
CYRA season on yellowfin opened on January 1. The quota
was easily reached, and the season was closed March 27.

During the closed season the IATTC allowed small vessels
(400 tons carrying capacity, all member nations) to catch
6,000 tons of yellowfin. The Commission also granted
permission to one member nation to catch an additional
10,000 tons of yellowfin during the closed season. Shown
below are preliminary data of the yellowfin catch by the
international fleet taken in the CYRA.

The U.S. share dropped from 68 percent of the total catch in
1974 to 62 percent of the 1975 catch.

CRABS. Landings of all species of crabs were 301.0
million pounds worth $84.1 million—down 9 percent in
volume, but up 1 percent in value compared with 1974.
Lower landings of hard blue crabs and snow crabs more
than offset a slight increase in king crab landings. The gain
in value was caused principally by general increases in
exvessel prices. Landings of hard blue crabs were 130.8
million pounds-down 8 percent from 1974. In_ the
Chesapeake States landings of hard blue crabs (59.1 million
pounds) decreased 8 percent, and in the South Atlantic
States (30.8 million), 10 percent. However, the Middle
Atlantic States harvest of 6 million pounds was up 41
percent and the Gulf States harvest of 34.5 million was 24
percent more than in 1974. Virginia led in production with
34.8 million pounds, followed by Maryland with 24.2
million and Louisiana with 17.1 million pounds. The three
States together accounted for 58 percent of the total
landings of hard blue crabs. Dungeness crab landings were
16.0 million pounds worth $10.3 million—about the same
quantity as in 1974 but 4 percent more in value. King crab
landings (100.1 million pounds) increased 3 percent, and
were the highest since 1968. The snow crab fishery (46.2
million pounds) showed a 28-percent decrease in landings in
1975, mainly because of poor market conditions and high
inventories in cold storage. A price dispute between
fishermen and buyers almost halted snow crab fishing
during part of the 1975 fishing season.

CLAMS. Landings of hard, soft, surf, and other clams were
111.0 million pounds, worth a record $41.0 million—a
decline of 7 percent in volume, but an increase of 5
percent in value compared with 1974. The principal reason
for the decline in harvest was a 10 percent or 9 million
pound decline in landings of surf clams. Virginia led in surf
clam landings with 39.1 million pounds—33 percent less
than in 1974. New Jersey was second with 35.6 million
pounds of meats. The two States together accounted for
86 percent of the total surf clam harvest in 1975.

REVIEW 5
IMPORTANT SPECIES

Surf clam landings were the highest in history in
1973-75. There is a question about the ability of the
resource to sustain landings at this level. Early in 1976 the
New Jersey Division of Fish, Game, and Shellfisheries
established size regulations on surf clams, a management
measure sanctioned by the State/Federal Regional Surf
Clam Management Program. Opposition was overwhelming.
Based on the results of the public hearing held on February
3 and written comments received before February 10, New
Jersey will decide whether to keep or abolish the new clam
regulation.

Landings of hard clams yielded 14.8 million pounds of
meats—1 percent less than in 1974. New York was first as
usual with 8.7 million pounds—59 percent of the total hard
clam harvest. New Jersey with 1.6 million pounds was the
other principal producing State.

Landings of soft. clams yielded 8.8 million pounds of
meats—an increase of 2 percent compared with 1974. The
gain was mostly in the New England States where Maine
landings of 6.5 million pounds were 10 percent more than
in 1974. Green crabs continued to invade the Maine coast
in 1975. There is major concern now for the small soft
shell clam that is a principal source of food for the crab.

LOBSTERS, AMERICAN. Landings of American lobsters
were 29.0 million pounds worth $49.1 million—an increase of
3 percent in volume and 16 percent in value compared with
1974. Fishermen received an average price of nearly $1.69
per pound in 1975 compared with $1.50 in 1974. Landings
declined moderately in the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake
States, but increased slightly in the New England States. in
Maine, the principal producing State, landings of 17.0 million
pounds were 560,000 pounds more than in 1974,

LOBSTER, SPINY. The spiny lobster harvest declined to
7.7 million pounds worth $9.9 million—a decrease of 40
percent in volume and 35 percent in value compared with
1974. Landings in Florida, the leading State, declined to
7.5 million pounds in 1975. This decrease from 1974 was
the result of a lesser catch being taken from the Keys and
the permanent closing of Bahama waters to Florida
fishermen on August 1, 1975. In _ recent years,
approximately 40 percent of all landings of spiny lobster in
Florida were caught in the Bahama waters. The closure of
the Bahama waters is expected to curtail the Florida fishing
industry for years to come. Fishermen received an average
price per pound of $1.30-about 11 cents more than in
1974. Florida accounted for over 97.4 percent of the total
spiny lobster production. The California commercial
harvest of 165,000 pounds was 15 percent less than in
1974, and the second smallest since 1888.

OYSTERS. Landings yielded 53.2 million pounds of meats
worth $42.7 million—-an increase of 18 percent in volume
and 27 percent in value compared with 1974. Production
declined in the New England, Chesapeake, and South
Atlantic States, but increased slightly in the Middle
Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coast States. The Chesapeake
States led in production with 21.5 million pounds of meats,
followed by the Gulf States with 19.6 million pounds. In
the Chesapeake fishery, Maryland was first in production
with 16.0 million pounds—down slightly from 1974.
Recruitment in the Maryland fishery has been poor in
recent years. In 1974 Maryland State officials opened areas
that previously had been closed. This action is expected to
increase production substantially in the future. In Virginia,
landings were 5.5 million pounds—a decrease of 2 percent
compared with the previous year. In the Gulf States,
Louisiana led in production with 13.6 million pounds,
followed by the west coast of Florida with 2.5 million, and
Texas with 1.8 million pounds.

SCALLOPS. Landings yielded a total of 13.1 million
pounds of meats worth $22.4 million-a gain of 3.9 million
pounds (42 percent) and $8.9 million (67 percent)
compared with 1974. Sea scallop landings of 9.7 million
pounds of meats worth a record $18.0 million increased 49
percent in volume and 82 percent in value compared with
1974. New England landings yielded 7.1 million
pounds-the best production since 1968 when 7.9 million
pounds were landed in this area. Massachusetts sea scallop
landings of 5.4 million pounds valued at $10.2 million
increased 32 percent in volume and 59 percent in value
compared with 1974. The exvessel price per pound of
$1.85 increased 33 cents compared with the previous year.

Landings of sea scallops in New Bedford, the leading sea
scallop port, were up sharply in 1975 because of increased
landings from the Middle Atlantic grounds off New Jersey.
These grounds, which in past years provided about 6
months fishing, were fished for up to 10 months by regular
sea scallop vessels in 1975. The Middle Atlantic grounds
provided 64 percent of New Bedford sea scallop landings in
1975 compared with 50 percent in 1974. The Georges
Bank area provided most of the remainder.

Bay scallop landings were 1.9 million pounds valued at
$3.5 million in 1975. This was a decrease of 5 percent in
volume, but an increase of 12 percent in value compared
with 1974.

Calico scallop landings at Florida ports yielded 1.4
million pounds of meats valued at $812,000—an increase of
775,000 pounds and $468,000 compared with 1974.

SHRIMP. Landings were 343.6 million pounds (heads-on)
valued at a record $226.2 million to the fishermen. This
was a decline of 26.0 million pounds, but an increase of
$48.4 million, compared with 1974. For the fourth
consecutive year, Alaska led all States in landings with 98.3
pounds—down 9 percent from the previous year. Texas was
the leading State in value with $87.9 million, and the
second State in production with 70.6 million pounds.
Louisiana was second in value with $41 million, and third
in landings with 53.1 million pounds.

The Gulf States accounted for 49 percent of the total
shrimp landings and 79 percent of the total value in 1975.
Landings at Gulf Coast ports were 170 million pounds in
1975, a decrease of 8 percent compared with 1974, but the
value of $178.3 million increased 30 percent compared
with 1974. Short supplies caused exvessel prices to steadily
increase throughout the year. Brown shrimp, the mainstay
of the industry in recent years, experienced the greatest
setback in landings. Gulf States biologists said that flood
waters, which caused low salinity and abnormally low water
temperatures during the post-larval stage, were responsible
for a low survival rate of the juvenile brown shrimp.

Shrimp landings in the Pacific Coast States were 136.9
million pounds worth $14.5 million-a decrease of 2.5
million pounds and $2.3 million in value compared with
1974. Alaska led in volume with 98.3 million pounds,
followed by record landings in Oregon (24.0 million
pounds) and Washington (9.7 million pounds).

New England landings of 11.7 million pounds worth $3.1
million declined 34 percent in volume and 45 percent in
value compared with 1974. The decline was due to a
number of factors including overfishing in the previous
seasons, price disputes, and closure by Maine officials of
the Maine summer shrimp fishery to help restore depleted
stocks.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTICN. Per capita consumption of
fish and shellfish was 12.1 pounds (edible weight) in 1975,
the same as in 1974. It was the fourth consecutive year
fish consumption remained above 12 pounds per person. In
1975, fresh and frozen consumption increased to a record
7.5 pounds per person—0.7 pound more than in 1974.

Offsetting the increase in fresh and frozen items was a
decline of 0.6 pound in the consumption of canned
items—from 4.8 pounds in 1974 to 4.2 pounds in 1975.
This was the second year in a row showing a decline in
canned consumption. Canned tuna, sardines, and shellfish
each fell by 0.2 pound. Per capita consumption of salmon
remained at the 1974 level. Consumption of cured fish was
0.4 pound per person in 1975—down 0.1 pound from 1974.

FRESH AND FROZEN

FISH FILLETS AND STEAKS. In 1975 the U.S.
production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks was
117.7 million pounds yalued at $121.7 million to the
processors. Compared with the 1974 production of 135.5
million pounds valued at $119.8 million, this was a decline
of 17.8 million pounds but an increase of $1.9 million.
Total production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk,
haddock, hake, pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) was 38.8
million pounds in 1975 compared with the previous year’s
production of 48.5 million pounds. Lower landings of
Atlantic ocean perch in 1975 were a contributing factor to
the decline in groundfish fillet production.

The U.S. production of blocks is not shown separately
by species but is included in fillet production data for each
species. Total production of blocks in 1975 was 2.2
million pounds valued at $1.5 million, down 51 percent in
quantity and 32 percent in value compared with 1974.

FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. Combined production of
fish sticks and portions was 384.6 million pounds valued at
$274.1 million in 1975, an increase of 1 percent in
quantity and 6 percent in value compared with 1974.
Production of fish portions was 293.7 million pounds
valued at a record $212.1 million. The quantity produced
was 6 percent above 1974, and was the second largest on

record. Fish stick production, which continued its
downward trend in 1975, was 91.0 million pounds valued
at $61.9 million, 28.4 percent less than the record
production of 1973, and 22.4 percent less than the record
value for the same year.

BREADED SHRIMP. The 1975 production of breaded
shrimp of 91.8 million pounds valued at $165.4 million was
about the same in quantity as that produced in 1974, but
the value increased by $22.8 million. Production in 1974
and 1975 was the lowest in the past 10 years.

FROZEN FISHERY TRADE. In 1975, monthly holdings of
frozen fish and shellfish by cold storage warehouses reporting
to NMFS were at a high of 401.8 million pounds on January
31 and a low of 296.4 million pounds on June 30. Holdings
of frozen shrimp products (raw, headless, breaded, peeled,
and unclassified) were highest on January 31 when 75.3
million pounds were in storage and lowest on August 31
when 46.7 million pounds were in storage.

Freezings of fish and shellfish were 299.7 million
pounds—a decline of 12 percent compared with 1974 and
well below the record 410.4 million pounds frozen in 1973.
It is estimated that landings of 468.8 million pounds (live
weight) of fish and shellfish were required for the frozen
production in 1975.

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1975 pack of
canned fishery products in the United States, American
Samoa, and Puerto Rico was the smallest since 1969. The
pack was 47.6 million standard cases (1.3 billion pounds)
with a value reported by the canning companies of
$1,034.9 million, down 17 percent in quantity and 21
percent in value compared with 1974. Included in the
1975 total are 36.6 million standard cases for human
consumption, and 11.0 million standard cases for bait and
animal food.

The largest losses in the 1975 pack were canned tuna,
which was down 6.6 million standard cases or 20 percent;
canned animal food, down 1.3 million standard cases or 11
percent; canned shrimp, down 1.3 million standard cases or
39 percent; and salmon, down 466 thousand cases or 25
percent. The pack of a few species increased. These
included Maine sardines and canned tunalike fish,
principally bonito.

CANNED SALMON. The 1975 pack of Pacific salmon was
the smallest pack since 1906. The pack was slightly less
than 1.4 million standard cases valued at $102.4 million, a
decline of 466,000 standard cases and $34.6 million
compared with 1974. All of the States canning salmon in
1975 registered declines. Pink salmon registered the only
increase in the 1975 pack of salmon, from 527,237
standard cases in 1974 to 618,516 standard cases in 1975.
Chum salmon showed the sharpest decline, 409,446
standard cases in 1974 to 110,881 standard cases in 1975.
A better than expected run of reds in Bristol Bay
moderated the drop in the pack of red salmon to a 10
percent decline.

Despite the small pack, exports of canned salmon
increased from 8.3 million pounds in 1974 to 22.5 million
pounds in 1975.

SARDINES. The 1975 pack of Maine sardines (sea herring)
was 1.1 million standard cases valued at $24.9 million, up 3
percent in quantity and 15 percent in value.

CANNED TUNA. In 1975 the pack of tuna, 27.0 million
standard cases (529.4 million pounds) valued at $651.3
million was the fourth highest pack on record and the third
in value. The pack was down 20 percent and the value
down 21 percent when compared with the record year of
1974. ,

The pack of white meat (albacore) comprised 19 percent
of the pack in 1975, down from 24 percent in 1974. The
pack of lightmeat tuna (skipjack, yellowfin, bluefin, and
bigeye) comprised 81 percent (21,802 million standard
cases in 1975, up from 76 percent in 1974. The plants in
Washington, Oregon, and California packed 46 percent of
the total and plants in American Samoa, Hawaii, Maryland,
and Puerto Rico the remainder.

Canned tuna packed from landings by U.S. fishermen
was a record 269.1 million pounds, up 9 percent from
1974. The pack of tuna from imported raw tuna was
260.3 million pounds, down 37 percent from 1974. The
year 1975 was the first since 1961 that the pack from
domestic sources was greater than the U.S. pack from
imported tuna.

During the first part of 1975 tuna canners were faced
with record inventories in part because of the record U.S.
tuna pack in 1974. Canners cut back on their use of
imported tuna in order to reduce inventories. This was
followed by a decline in prices paid to U.S. fishermen
beginning about April 1975; by July the decline had ended
and prices had stabilized, but at levels appreciably below
1974. In July 1975 the exvessel price of albacore was
$675 per ton, down 18 percent from December 1975;
bluefin, $480 per ton, down 14 percent; skipjack, $450 per
ton, down 17 percent; and yellowfin, $500 per ton, down
13 percent. At these prices U.S. tuna fishermen continued
fishing and succeeded in landing a record amount of tuna.
This precluded any substantial increase of raw tuna imports
during the remainder of 1975.

CANNED CLAMS. The 1975 pack of clams and clam
products was 3.1 million cases valued at $45.1 million, 13
percent less in quantity and 7 percent less in value than in
1974. This decline was due to a drop in the pack of
canned chowder and juice, which more than offset a small
gain in the pack of whole and minced clams.

CANNED SHRIMP. The 1975 natural pack of shrimp was
2.0 million standard cases valued at $26.0 million, down 39
percent in volume and 42 percent in value compared with
1974. This large decline was due to a number of factors,
among which were heavy inventories carried over from 1974
and rising costs of operation. In Alaska, which accounts for
almost half the U.S. pack, more shrimp was diverted to the
frozen product than in the previous year.

CANNED PET FOOD. In 1975 the pack of pet food (10
pounds of fish per standard cases of 48 one-pound cans) was
10.9 million standard cases valued at $130.1 million. This
was 1.3 million standard cases and $44.5 million less than in
1974. Tuna scrap is used in producing canned animal (pet)
food, and with the production of canned tuna down, this
resulted in a lower pet food pack. In some instances
processors increased the content of fish in their pack.

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS

INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. The value of the
1975 production of industrial fishery products in the
United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was
$166.6 million-$32.2 million less than the $198.8 million
produced in the previous year. In terms of value, the
leading producing State was Louisiana ($49.8 million),
followed by California ($47.0), and Virginia ($13.2
million).

FISH MEAL AND SCRAP. Domestic production including
shellfish meal was 290,340 tons—10,374 tons less than the
previous year. Menhaden meal, (191,443 tons) accounted
for 65.9 percent of the fish meal production and was
12,416 tons less than the 203,859 tons produced in 1974.
Production of tuna and mackerel meal (a byproduct of
canning) was 37,209 tons in 1975 compared with 48,244
tons in 1974. This reduction was attributed to a drop in
the production of canned tuna.

FOREIGN TRADE

IMPORTS. Total U.S. imports of edible and nonedible
fishery products were $1,637.1 million in 1975, a decrease
of 4 percent compared with the record imports of 1974.
The slight decline is attributable to a decline in edible
imports, which more than offset a rise in imports of
nonedible products.

Imports of edible products were 1,913.1 million pounds
valued at $1,367.2 million in 1975, down 353.8 million
pounds (16 percent) and $128.2 million (9 percent)
compared with 1974. The largest part of this decrease was
caused by a sharp decline in imports of fresh and frozen
tuna. In 1975 imports of fresh and frozen tuna were 478.6
million pounds, down 310.8 million pounds (3% percent)
from the 1974 figure of 789.4 million pounds. Decreases
also occurred in imports of fresh and frozen shrimp (12
percent), canned salmon (62 percent), and canned sardines
(SS percent). Imports of canned tuna declined slightly (2
percent). Imports of fresh and frozen fillets, on the other
hand, showed a sharp rise, increasing to 367.9 million
pounds in 1975, up 17 percent compared with 1974 and
the third largest on record. Imports of blocks and slabs,
used almost entirely to make sticks and portions, were
313.5 million pounds in 1975, up 18 percent over 1974
and also the third largest on record.

Imports of nonedible fishery products were a record
$269.9 million, 25 percent above 1974. Contributing to
this increase were larger imports of fish meal, which rose to
236.7 million pounds, up 73 percent. The major factors

FISH OILS. The United States production of fish oils
reached 245.7 million pounds, 3 percent more than a year
earlier and the highest since 1971. A sharp increase in the
production of anchovy oil contributed to this improvement.

FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles
was 127.9 tons valued at $8.8 million, down 7 percent in
quantity and 25 percent in value compared with 1974.

OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. Oyster shell products
(grit and lime) were valued at $5.8 million in 1975
compared with $4.7 million in 1974. The value of other
industrial products was $53.9 million compared with $48.9
million in 1974. These other industrial products included
agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells processed for
food serving, fish pellets, Irish moss extract, kelp products,
shark leather products, liquid fertilizer, and pearl essence.

IN FISHERY PRODUCTS

associated with increased imports of fish meal were the
increased availability of fish meal in Peru (the principal
supplier), higher fish meal prices in the United States than
in Europe, and an increase in demand by the chief
users—broiler chicken producers.

EXPORTS. Exports of edible and nonedible domestic
fishery products were a record $304.7 million in 1975, up
16 percent over 1974. This record was caused by rising
prices and exports of near-record quantities of edible
fishery products. :

Exports of edible fishery products, which account for
the bulk of all fishery exports, were 218.2 million pounds
valued at a record $267.4 million, up 23 percent in
quantity and 37 percent in value compared with 1974.
Most of this increase was attributed to increased exports of
salmon products. Exports of fresh or frozen salmon were
48.2 million pounds valued at $66.9 million in 1975, up 72
percent in quantity and 91 percent in value. Exports of
canned salmon were 22.5 million pounds valued at $34.6
million, up 170 percent in quantity and 161 percent in
value. These increased exports reflected declines in the
1975 catch of salmon by other salmon exporting countries.

Exports of nonedible products were $37.4 million, a
decrease of 44 percent compared with 1974. A sharp drop
in exports of fish oil was responsible for much of the
decline. A primary factor in this decline was the greater
availability of fish oil from competing export countries.

ve MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

BOAT SURVEY. In 1973 a survey was made to determine
the number of privately owned and commercially operated
boats used for marine recreational fishing in the United
States. Information was obtained on the number of fishing
trips made, the species of fish sought, and the estimated
gross revenues of the commercially operated recreational
fishing boats. The results indicated there were about 8
million privately owned recreational boats in the United
States in 1973 and slightly over 1 million of those fished in
saltwater. The commercially operated boat class included
party boats, rental, guide, and head boats.

SURVEY OF FISHERMEN, CATCH, AND
EXPENDITURES. A pilot survey employing probability
sampling techniques was made in 1974 in the Northeastern
States to provide an estimate of the number of recreational
saltwater fishermen, the number of fish they caught off the
region surveyed, and the amount of money spent on fishing
for that year. The results indicated that about 10.9 million
people participated in marine recreational finfishing and

shellfishing (combined) in the Northeastern States from
mid-1973 to mid-1974 (see page 26 for a breakdown of
fishermen by State). Additional data on _ recreational
fishermen can be found in “Participation in Marine
Recreational Fishing, Northeastern United States, 1973-74,”
Current Fishery Statistics No. 6236 (see page 90).

A more complete report of results from that survey was
scheduled for release about May 1976. A survey similar to
the Northeastern survey was made in the Southeastern and
Gulf States, and will be available about September 1976.

Review of survey methodology began about July 1975 in
the interest of providing more reliable estimates. This has
caused a postponement in data collection activities;
however, the pilot study phase of the next planned survey
will begin in 1976 on the Pacific Coast. After the survey
methodology has been proved, operational data collection
activities will continue for one calendar year on the Pacific
Coast. Plans call for implementing a national sampling
program in the near future.

RETAIL PRICES

Estimated retail prices of fishery products are
collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department
of Labor, for use in the food component of the
Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The CPI is based on prices from a sample of 39
standard metropolitan statistical areas and 17 small cities
collected to represent all urban areas of the United
States, ranging in size from cities with a population of
2,500 to New York City.

Agents collect monthly food prices from chain and
independent retail food stores that voluntarily report
their selling prices. Prices are those in effect on the day
of the agent’s visit and include any sale or weekend
special prices which are offered on that day.

The Bureau’s agents use a description defining the
quality or grade and size range for each food item for
which prices are collected. All prices are converted to a
standard unit and population weights are employed in
obtaining U.S. average prices for all areas combined.

(1) Excludes transportation, wholesale, and retail costs. Estimate is constructed using the 1973 U.S.
Input-Output table (from "Economic Impacts of the U.S, Commercial Fishing Industry" published by NMFS)
for the proportion of 1973 cash value sold directly into trade channels. This is adjusted to current
cash value levels. (2) Value is c.i.f. (cost, insurance, freight) at dock, and is an estimate con-
structed by using the 1973 U,S, Input-Output table for the ratio of reprocessed to products sold
directly into trade channels. This is adjusted to the current value of imports. (3) Includes pro-
cessed fish exported and goods processed domestically with imported inputs, but excludes fish sold
directly into trade channels. Estimate derived from the 1973 U.S, Input-Output table for the ratio

of domestic to imported raw materials. This is adjusted to the value of the total processed. (4)
Includes fish sold directly into trade channels, but excludes exported fishery products. Estimate
constructed using U.S, ratio of wholesale to retail output, all industries, to determine the markup
between wholesale and retail levels (the division between wholesale and retail is not broken out in
U.S, Input-Output tables). (5) Includes fish sold directly into trade channels but data exclude ex-
ported fishery products. Estimate is constructed using the 1973 U.S, Input-Output table for the

ratio of retail value to the value of processed fish and fish sold directly into trade channels. This
ratio is adjusted to the current value of processed including items sold directly into trade channels.
This is then adjusted to reflect any changes in the retailing markup. (6) Value is arrived at by
substracting line la from line 3, for domestic; and by substracting line 2a from line 3 for imports.
(7) Value is arrived at by substracting lines 3 and lb from line 4 for domestic; and by substracting
line 3 from line 4 for imports. (8) Value is arrived at by substracting line 4 from line 5 for both
domestic and imports.

PER CAPITA

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

Per capita utilization figures are not comparable with
per capita consumption data (see p. 71). Per capita
consumption figures represent edible (for human use)

UTILIZATION

meat-weight consumption rather than round weight
consumption. In addition, the determination of per
capita consumption includes allowances for beginning
and ending stocks, exports, and defense purchases,
whereas the determination of utilization does not include
such allowances.

Per capita utilization is derived by using total
population including armed forces overseas, and per
capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident
population.

weight basis and have been adjusted for beginning and
ending inventories of edible fishery products; U.S.
production of fishery products from both domestically
caught and imported fish, shellfish and other edible aquatic
plants and animals; imports; exports; and purchases by the
U.S. armed forces.

CURED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Products preserved by
drying, pickling, salting, and smoking. Does not include
canned, frozen, irradiated, or pasteurized products. Dried

fish portion is generally cut from a fish block.

FISH SOLUBLES. A product extracted from the residual
press liquor (called “‘stick water”) after the solids are
removed for drying (fish meal) and the oil extracted by
centrifuging. This residue is generally condensed to 50
percent solids and marketed as “condensed fish solubles.”

FISH STEAK. Cross-section slices cut from large dressed
fish. Steaks are 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
1-1/2 ounces with the largest dimension at least three times
that of the next largest dimension. A fish stick is generally
cut from a fish block.

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

GROUNDFISH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or near
the sea floor. The term includes a wide variety of
bottomfishes, rockfishes, and flatfishes. However, the
National Marine Fisheries Service 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.

GLOSSARY

INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items processed
from fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals
which are not consumed directly by humans. These items
include fish meal, fish oils, fish solubles, pearl essence,
shark and other aquatic animal skins, certain products from
sea weeds, and shells.

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 in some cases only
the meats are landed (such as scallops). Data for all
mollusks are published on meat weight basis.

MARINE FISHING. Fishing for finfish in oceans, bays,
estuaries, and tidal portions of rivers. Marine fishing also
includes the harvest of shellfish and other living aquatic
organisms in these waters.

MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft
having a capacity of less than 5 net tons. See boat, other.

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 COMSUMPTION. 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 Unitesd States on July 1 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 UTILIZATION. The utilization of all
fishery products both edible and nonedible in the United
States, divided by the total population of the United
States.

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Fish, shellfish, and
other aquatic plants and animals, and products thereof,
preserved by canning, freezing, cooking, dehydrating,
drying, fermenting, pasteurizing, adding salt or other
chemical substances, and by other commercial processes.
Also, changing the form of fish, shellfish, or other aquatic
plants and animals from their original state into sticks,
portions, and other products in which the species are not
readily identified.

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.

RECREATIONAL FISHING DAY. A day, or any part of
a day, spent fishing for recreational purposes.

RECREATIONAL MARINE 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.

RECREATIONAL MARINE FISHING EXPENDITURES.

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.

UTILIZATION OF FISHERY PRODUCTS. Estimated
disappearance of the total supply of fishery products both
edible and inedible on a round weight basis without taking
into consideration beginning or ending stocks, exports,
military purchases, or shipments to U.S. territories.

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. Sea food processors,
packers, brokers, and users who are
interested in having USDC inspect their
products may subscribe voluntarily to the
program. Users of the service pay for the
USDC inspection which evaluates their raw
materials, ensures the hygenic preparation
of products, and certifies the final quality
and condition of the product. The USDC
inspector functions as an objective observer
in evaluating processing techniques and
product quality and condition. Products
packed in plants under USDC inspection
can carry marks for easy consumer
identification.

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

WHAT DO THE INSPECTION MARKS
MEAN? The distinctive inspection marks
are symbols that signify two distinct but
related functions in guiding the consumer
to safe, wholesome products produced in a
Sanitary environment and packed in
accordance with uniform quality standards
under the supervision of the US.
Department of Commerce’s voluntary
inspection service. The functions
symbolized by each mark follow:

Se

“U.S. GRADE” MARK. The “U.S.
Grade” mark signifies that:

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

te

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.

FEDERAL
INSPECTION

‘*PACKED UNDER FEDERAL
INSPECTION” MARK. “Packed Under
Federal Inspection’ may be displayed as
an official mark or as an official statement
on the product label. The mark or
statement signifies that the properly
labeled product is clean, safe, and
wholesome and has been produced in an
acceptable establishment with appropriate
equipment under the supervision of
Federal inspectors. The product has not
been graded as to a specific quality level;
Tather, it is an acceptable commercial
quality as determined by Federal
inspectors in accordance with approved
standards or specifications.
