PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1981

This publication is a preliminary report for 1981 on
commercial and marine recreational fisheries of the United
States and foreign catches in the U.S. Fishery Conservation
Zone (FCZ). This annual report provides timely answers
to frequently asked questions for the previous year. All
data in this publication are consistent with the provisions
of the Federal Reports Act of 1942.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING

A section of this publication briefly describes the
background and methodology of the Marine Recreational
Fishery Statistics Surveys. The results presented on
recreational catch by species, number, weight, area and
mode of fishing, and number of fishermen and trips are
taken from the 1979 survey report for the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts.

SOURCES OF DATA

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

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA

Data on U.S. commercial landings, foreign catches,
employment, prices, and production of processed products
are preliminary for 1981. Final data will be published in
Fishery Statistics of the United States. Publication of

monthly and annual state landings bulletins has been
discontinued.

UNITS OF QUANTITY AND VALUE

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 catch is exvessel (see Glossary); the value for U.S.
imports is generally the market value in the foreign
(exporting) country and, therefore, excludes U.S. import
duties, freight charges from the foreign country to the
United States, and insurance; the value for exports is
generally the value at the U.S. port of export, based on the
selling price, including inland freight, insurance, and other
charges.

SUGGESTIONS

The Resource Statistics Division wishes to provide the
kinds of data sought by users of fishery statistics, and
welcomes any comments or suggestions that will improve
this publication.

REVIEW

U.S. LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and
industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 States were
6.0 billion pounds valued at $2.4 billion in 1981, down 8
percent in quantity but up 7 percent in value compared with
1980. These were the lowest U.S. landings since 1977 (5.2
billion pounds). In 1981, increased landings of anchovies,
clams, cods, Pacific mackerel, rockfishes, salmon, and squid
were offset with declines in other major species such as
crabs, flounders, menhaden, Atlantic sea herring, and tuna.
Prices in 1981 of most edible fish and shellfish increased
slightly. The average exvessel price per pound was 40 cents
in 1981 compared with 35 cents in 1980.

Commercial catches by U.S. fishermen at ports outside
the 50 States or transferred in the U.S. fishery conservation
zone (FCZ) onto foreign vessels (joint ventures) were an
additional 473.5 million pounds valued at $129.8 million.
This was an increase of 85 percent in quantity and 27
percent in value when compared with 1980. Most of these
landings consisted of tuna landed at canneries in Puerto
Rico and groundfish transferred to foreign vessels.

Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 States were 3.5
billion pounds in 1981, down 3 percent compared with 1980.
Landings of salmon increased, but there were declines in
crab, flounder, and tuna landings. In 1981, domestic
production was 53 percent and imports 47 percent of the
total U.S. supply.

Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes by
U.S. fishermen in the 50 States were 2.4 billion pounds in
1981, 14 percent less than 1980. The decrease is attributed
to small catches of menhaden, the dominant industrial fish,
for the second year ina row.

FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. The foreign catch of fish
(excluding tunas) and shellfish in the U.S. fishery
conservation zone (FCZ) was |.7 million metric tons (3.6
billion pounds) in 1981, 2 percent higher than in 1980 and 10
percent below the average for the 5 preceding years. As in
other years, the FCZ off Alaska supplied by far the largest
share of the foreign catch (91 percent), followed by the
North Atlantic (5 percent); Washington, Oregon, and
California (4 percent); and Hawaii and the Pacific islands
(less than one tenth of | percent).

Alaska pollock comprised 68 percent of the foreign catch,
Pacific flounders were 6 percent, Pacific cod and hake
(whiting) 4 percent, and other fish and shellfish the
remainder.

Japan continued as the leading nation fishing in the U.S.
FCZ with a catch of |.2 million metric tons or 70 percent of
the total foreign catch in 1981. Catches by vessels of the
Republic of Korea, the second most important catching
nation, were 243,000 metric tons, 16 percent above 1980.

U.S. VS. FOREIGN CATCH IN U.S. FCZ. The combined
catch by U.S. and foreign vessels in the FCZ was 2.7 million
metric tons in 1981, up 7 percent compared with 1980. The
U.S. share rose to 39 percent of the totai, up from 36
percent in 1980.

MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. The data shown in the
publication are for the Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico
Coast for 1979 and are part of arecently initiated survey of
marine recreational fisheries in the United States. Survey

iv

results for other areas were not available in time to be
included in the publication, but will be published in the next
few months. Fisheries of the United States, 1982, will
contain data on the total U.S. marine recreational catch.

WORLD LANDINGS. In 1980, the most recent year for
which data are available, world commercial fishery landings
were a record 72.2 million metric tons, | percent more than
the revised 1979 total of 71.3 million metric tons. Japan
continues to be the leading nation with 14 percent of the
total; the USSR, second with 13 percent; China, third with 6
percent; United States, fourth with 5 percent; and Chile,
fifth with 4 percent.

PRICES. During 1981, the Index of Exvessel Prices for Fish
and Shellfish increased to 431.0. The index (1967=100) for
edible fish was 439.9, up 8 percent from 1980. Among the
few exceptions to this upward trend were the exvessel
prices for Pacific halibut, salmon, and whiting which
declined slightly. The index for industrial fish was 314.1 for
1981, down less than | percent compared with 1980. The
edible shellfish index increased from 376.4 in 1980 to 427.7.

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The 1981 value of domestic
production of edible and nonedible processed fishery
products was $4.9 billion, $451.3 million above 1980. The
value of edible products increased to $4.5 billion, || percent
above 1980. All categories of edible products increased in
value except fish portions which declined $25.2 million. The
value of industrial products of $433.7 million in 1981 was
$16.0 million more than 1980.

FOREIGN TRADE. Total import value of edible and
nonedible fishery products was a record $4.2 billion in 1981,
an increase of 14 percent compared with 1980. U.S. imports
of edible fishery products were 2.3 billion pounds (product
weight) valued at a record $3.0 billion in 1981, up 6 percent
in quantity and 13 percent in value. U.S. imports of
nonedible (industrial) products were valued at $1.1 billion in
1981, up 18 percent compared with 1980.

Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery
products of domestic origin was a record $1.2 billion in
1981, an increase of 15 percent over 1980. The United
States exported a record 669.3 million pounds of edible
fishery products valued at $1.1 billion in 1981, up 17 percent
in quantity and 19 percent in value from 1980. Exports in
1981 of nonedible products were valued at $84.2 million, 17
percent less than the nonedible products exported one year
ago.

SUPPLY. THE U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent)
was 8.3 billion pounds in 1981, 3 percent more than 1980.
The change includes an 8 percent increase in imports of
edible fishery products and a 3 percent decrease in domestic
landings. The supply of industrial fishery products was 3.|
billion pounds in 1981, 8 percent less than 1980. A decrease
in domestic landings of industrial products contributed to
this decline.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. consumption of fishery
products was 13.0 pounds of edible meat per person in 1981,
up 0.2 pound from 1980.

REVIEW
OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS

Menhaden landings in 1981 of 2.1 billion pounds (955,000
metric tons) made up 35 percent of the commercial fishery
landings in the United States.

Salmon was the second most important in quantity and
value.

Crabs were the third most important in quantity and
value.

Shrimp was the fourth most important in quantity and
first in value.

Tuna was the fifth most important in quantity, but fourth
in value.

Scallops were fifth in value.

Tuna landings by U.S. craft at ports outside the United
States amounted to 148.7 million pounds, mostly landed at
Puerto Rican ports. Other species landed at ports outside
the United States were shrimp, at Central and South
American ports, and Pacific groundfish and squid onto
foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ.

Cameron, Louisiana, was the leading U.S. port in quantity
of commercial fishery landings. The second was Los
Angeles Area, California, followed by Empire-Venice,

Louisiana; Pascagoula-Moss Point, Mississippi; and Dulac-
Chauvin, Louisiana. Menhaden was the principal species
landed at these ports, except at the Los Angeles Area,
where tuna was the principal species.

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

Louisiana led all States in volume of landings with |.2
billion pounds, followed by Alaska with 975.2 million pounds;
California with 775.2 million; Virginia with 487.9 million;
and North Carolina with 432.0 million pounds.

Alaska led all States in value with $639.8 million,
followed by California with $275.2 million; Massachusetts
with $196.9 million; Louisiana with $193.5 million; and
Texas with $174.8 million.

Joint venture catches in 198! of 307.8 million pounds
valued at $21.0 million were caught by U.S. fishermen and
unloaded onto foreign vessels in the U.S. FCZ. This
represents a substantial increase over 1980, when 137.7
million pounds were caught valued at $8.4 million. The
major species caught were Alaska pollock, Pacific hake
(whiting), and Pacific flounder.

IMPORTANT SPECIES

ALASKA POLLOCK AND OTHER PACIFIC TRAWL FISH.
U.S. landings of Pacific trawl fish Pacific cod, flounders,
hake (Pacific whiting), ocean perch, Alaska pollock, and
rockfishes were 244.9 million pounds valued at $48.6 million,
up 18 percent in volume and |5 percent in value compared
with 1980. Decreases in landings of ocean perch (20
percent), and hake (7 percent), were offset by increases in
landings of Pacific cod (122 percent), Alaska pollock (24
percent), rockfishes (12 percent) and flounders (3 percent).

The foreign catch of trawl fish in the Pacific U.S. FCZ
was |.6 million metric tons, unchanged from 1980. About 81
percent of this catch was in the Eastern Bering Sea, |5
percent in the Gulf of Alaska, and the remaining 4 percent
off Washington, Oregon, and California. Alaska pollock was
the leading species caught (1.1 million metric tons),
followed by Pacific flounders (187,590 metric tons), and
Pacific cod (74,110 metric tons). Japan, South Korea, and
Poland were the major fishing nations.

ANCHOVIES. U.S. landings of anchovies in 1981 were 126.6
million pounds, an increase of 19.7 million pounds (18
percent) compared with 1980. In 1981, 122.8 million pounds
were used for industrial purposes, with 107.9 million pounds
or 88 percent of the anchovies reduced to meal, oil, and
solubles. Another 14.0 million pounds or || percent were
used for bait, mostly live bait for sport fishing. There were
881,000 pounds used for pet food. Most of the anchovies
were caught in purse seines, although some were taken with
lampara nets.

HALIBUT. U.S. landings of Atlantic and Pacific halibut
were 26.9 million pounds (round weight) valued at $21.5
million, up 7.7 million pounds and $4.7 million compared
with 1980. The Pacific fishery accounted for 99 percent of
the 1981 total. The average exvessel price per pound in
1981 was 80 cents compared with 88 cents in 1980.

HERRING, SEA. U.S. commercial landings of sea herring
were 247.0 million pounds valued at $30.5 million in 1981,
down [5 percent in volume and 32 percent in value
compared with 1980. Landings of Atlantic sea herring were
139.1 million pounds valued at $7.6 million, down 24 percent
in quantity and 26 percent in value from 1980. Landings of
Pacific sea herring were 107.9 million pounds valued at
$22.9 million, an increase of 839,000 pounds (1 percent) and
a decrease of $11.7 million (34 percent) in value compared
with 1980. The average exvessel price per pound of Pacific
sea herring decreased from 32 cents in 1980 to 21 cents in
1981.

JACK MACKEREL. Landings of jack mackerel in California
in 1981 were 31.0 million pounds valued at $2.8 million, a 30
percent decrease in quantity and value compared with | 980.
The landings of jack mackerel have declined 3 of the past 4
years. In 1977, 110.2 million pounds were landed.

vii

MACKEREL, ATLANTIC. U.S. landings of Atlantic
mackerel in 1981 were 5.8 million pounds with an exvessel
value of $820,000--67,000 pounds less than in 1980 but an
increase of $4,000 in value. New Jersey was the leading
State with landings of 3.2 million pounds (55 percent),
followed by Massachusetts with |.0 million pounds (18
percent). The average exvessel price per pound in 1980 and
1981 was 14 cents.

MACKEREL, PACIFIC. Landings of Pacific mackerel in
1981 were 85.0 million pounds valued at $7.6 million.
Compared with 1980 the quantity and value increased 3]
percent. Landings have increased significantly since 1977
when 10.2 million pounds were landed.

Prior to 1978, the State of California prohibited the
landing of Pacific mackerel, except for an incidental take
limited to 18 percent by weight for a trip. The reason for
more Pacific mackerel landings in 1979, 1980, and 1981 was
an increase in abundance and the removal of the State of
California regulations.

MENHADEN. U.S. menhaden landings were 2.1 billion
pounds valued at $81.3 million in 1981, down 391.2 million
pounds (16 percent) in quantity and $30.7 million (27
percent) in value compared with 1980. Landings declined in
the Atlantic States by 6 percent and in the Gulf States by 21
percent. About 99 percent of the total landings were
reduced to meal, oil, and solubles; the rest was used for bait
or for canned pet food.

Landings along the Atlantic Coast were 887.2 million
pounds worth $33.6 million in 1981, a decrease of 6 percent
in quantity and 22 percent in value compared with 1980. Of
this amount, 863.5 million pounds were used for reduction in
1981, the remainder for bait and canned pet food.

Landings of Gulf menhaden were |.2 billion pounds
compared with the 1980 landings of |.5 billion pounds. The
1981 landings were 33 percent less than the record year of
1978 when 1.8 billion pounds were landed. Gulf Coast
landings in July and September were the highest during the

REVIEW
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. U.S. per capita consumption
of fish and shellfish was 13.0 pounds (edible meat) in 1981.
This was 0.2 pound more than the 12.8 pounds consumed in
1980.

Consumption of canned fishery products in 1981, at 4.8
pounds per person, rose 0.3 pound due mostly to an increase
in the packs of tuna and sardines. Tuna at 3.! pounds per
person registered a 0.2 pound increase and sardines at 0.4
pound per person registered a 0.1 pound increase.

Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen fish and
shellfish in 1981 was 7.8 pounds, down 0.2 pound from 1980.
Per capita consumption of clams was 0.4 pound, up 0.2
pound, and scallop consumption was 0.3 pound, up 0.1 pound.
The increase in fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was
offset by a decline in the fresh and frozen fish category,
decreasing from 5.5 pounds in 1980 to 5.0 pounds in 1981.

Lower stocks at the beginning of the year and higher exports
accounted for most of the decrease.

Per capita consumption of cured fishery products was 0.4
pound, up 0.1 pound over 1980.

Per capita data for fish and shellfish have been revised
back to 1970 to reflect the results of the 1980 census.

In addition to consumption of commercially caught fish
and shellfish, recreational fishermen catch and consume an
estimated 3 or 4 pounds of edible meat per person.

PER CAPITA USE. The per capita use of all fishery
products (edible and industrial) was 49.4 pounds (round
weight) in 1981, down 0.5 pounds (I percent) from 1980.
One reason for the decrease was that landings were down
505.3 million pounds. The per capita use of edible fishery
products was up 2 percent and industrial use was down 9
percent.

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. The 1981 pack of canned
fishery products in the 50 States, American Samoa, and
Puerto Rico was 56.6 million standard cases (1.6 billion
pounds) valued at a record $2.2 billion--increases of 2.9
million standard cases (84.7 million pounds) and $230.4
million compared with the 1980 pack. The 1981 pack
included 45.8 million standard cases (1.1 billion pounds)
valued at a record $2.0 billion for human consumption, and
10.9 million standard cases (521.6 million pounds) valued at
$213.4 million for bait and animal food. The packs of
gefiltefish, salmon, Maine sardines, tuna, tunalike fish,
clams and clam products, and squid, together with the
packs for bait and animal food increased in 1981, but the
remaining packs of fish and shellfish declined.

CANNED SALMON. The 1981! U.S. pack of natural Pacific
salmon reached 4.5 million standard cases, (217.7 million
pounds) valued at $415.9 million, compared with 4.2 million
standard cases (201.7 million pounds) valued at $403.8
million packed a year earlier. For the first time since 1945,
the Alaska canned salmon pack topped 4.5 million cases, led
by 1.3 million cases of red or sockeye, and 2.5 million
standard cases of pinks. Alaskan plants accounted for more
than 99 percent of the quantity and value of the salmon
pack. The Alaskan catch of more than I 11 million fish was
the third largest catch in history. An even larger catch is
predicted for 1982 when an estimated 135 million fish will
be harvested, making 1982 the largest salmon year in
history. The larger catches of recent years can be
attributed to mild winters and warmer sea temperatures
allowing a higher than normal juvenile survival rate.

CANNED SARDINES. The pack of Maine sardines (sea
herring) was 1.6 million standard cases valued at ee
million, increases of 784,400 standard cases and 923.3
million compared with 1980. An additional pack of herring
and herring specialties of 85,800 standard cases valued at
$6.3 million was packed in 1981—50,100 standard cases and
$4.3 million less than the 1980 pack. The decline in the
pack of herring specialties can be attributed to smaller fish
being utilized in the Maine sardine pack.

CANNED TUNA. The 1981 U.S. pack of tuna was 32.4
million standard cases, (639.0 million pounds) valued at $1.3
billion. This was |.9 million standard cases (37.0 million
pounds) and $138.2 million more than the 1980 pack. The

pack of albacore tuna was 6.0 million standard cases in
1981—524,000 standard cases more than the 5.5 million
standard cases produced in 1980. Albacore tuna was 19
percent of the tuna pack in 1981. Lightmeat tuna (bigeye,
bluefin, skipjack, and yellowfin) comprised the remainder
with a pack of 26.4 million standard cases--!.4 million
standard cases more than the 25.0 million standard cases
packed in 1980. Plants in the United States packed 44
percent of the total; plants in American Samoa, Hawaii, and
Puerto Rico packed the rest. About 3! percent of the total
U.S. supply of canned tuna was packed from U.S.-caught
fish, and 59 percent from imported fish. Imports of canned
tuna made up the remaining |0 percent.

CANNED CLAMS. The U.S, pack of clams (whole, minced,
chowder, and juice) was 3.! million standard cases valued at
a record $68.7 million — 109,500 standard cases and $2.4
million more than the pack in 1980. The 1981 pack of whole
and minced clams of 791,700 standard cases, (61,600
standard cases more than the 1980 pack), accounted for 26
percent of the total clam pack in 1981. Clam chowder and
clam juice (2.3 million standard cases) made up the
remaining 1981 pack.

CANNED SHRIMP. The 1981 U.S. pack of natural shrimp
was 1.8 million standard cases valued at $59.2 million,
515,000 standard cases and $11.3 million less than the 1980
pack. Plants in Louisiana and Mississippi packed |.1 million
standard cases, about 700,000 standard cases less than the
previous year, while the pack produced in Alaska and
Washington increased.

OTHER CANNED ITEMS. The U.S. pack of mackerel was
809,300 standard cases valued at $11.2 million in 1981,
40,500 standard cases and $354,000 less than the previous
year. The pack of tunalike fish (bonito) in 1981 was 262,800
standard cases valued at $6.2 million, compared with
224,200 standard cases, valued at $5.5 million a year earlier.
Although more plants packed in 198] compared to 1980, the
natural pack of oysters continued to decline. Just over
63,000 standard cases valued at $1.2 million were packed. In
1981 the pack of pet food (I0 pounds of fish per standard
case of 48 one-pound cans) was 10.9 million standard cases
valued at $211.6 million, a increase of 302,300 standard
cases and $67.6 million compared with the pack in 1980.
The larger pack of natural tuna in 1981 is reflected in the
larger pack of pet food, as approximately 49 percent of the
pack is represented by tuna.

(including shellfish meal) was 318,431 short tons, 43,491
short tons less than the production of 361,922 short tons
produced in 1980. Menhaden meal production (230,824 short
tons) was 40,357 short tons less than the production of
271,181 short tons produced in 1980, but still amounted to
nearly 73 percent of all the domestic fish and shellfish meal
produced. The production of anchovy meal (10,230 short
tons), tuna and mackerel meal (47,179 short tons), and
shellfish meal (8,294 short tons) were up from the 1980
production by 2,396 short tons, 160 short tons, and 1,699
short tons respectively. Unclassified meal (21,904 short
tons) consisting mainly of alewives, carp, sea herring, and
unclassified fish measured a decrease of 7,389 short tons
compared to the |980 production of 29,293 short tons.

FISH SOLUBLES. Domestic production of fish solubles in
1981 (128,621 short tons) was 5,061 short tons tons less than
the 1980 production. Menhaden solubles (99,739 short tons)
accounted for more than 77 percent of the total production.

FISH OILS. The 1981 domestic production of fish oils was
184.3 million pounds--128.2 million pounds less than the
1980 record production of 312.5 million pounds. Menhaden
oil production of 170.0 million pounds was |21.4 million
pounds less than the 1980 production and comprised 92
percent of all fish oils produced. Tuna and mackerel oil
production (4.5 million pounds) increased in 1981 by 394,000
pounds, but anchovy oil (1.7 million pounds) declined by
568,000 pounds. The production of unclassified oil (8.1
million pounds) was 6.6 million pounds less than the 1980
production.

OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. Oyster shell products,
together with agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells
processed for food serving, fish pellets, Irish moss extracts,
kelp products, dry and liquid fertilizers, pearl essence, shark
leathers, and mussel shell buttons were valued at $53.6
million in 1981, compared with $63.5 million in 1980.

FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS

IMPORTS. Total U.S. import value of edible and nonedible
fishery products was a record $4,173 million in 1981, an
increase of 14 percent compared with 1980. The value of
U.S. imports of edible fishery products in 198] was a record
$3,034 million, $348 million higher than the previous record
established in 1980. The quantity of edible imports in 1981
reached 2,272 million pounds, 127 million pounds more than
1980 but 144 million pounds less than the record imports of
2,416 million pounds in 1973. The increase in value for
edible imports was due mainly to higher prices for nearly all
imported products.

Quantities in 1981 were higher than the previous year for
imports of regular and minced blocks; fillets of groundfish
and Atlantic ocean perch; fillets of flounders and other
flatfishes (except turbot); shrimp; scallops; canned sardines
not in oil; tuna in brine; oysters and oyster juice; and cured
fishery products. Edible imports in 1981 consisted of 1,957
million pounds of fresh and frozen products valued at $2,582
million, 235 million pounds of canned products valued at
ae million, 73 million pounds of cured products valued at

81 million, and 7 million pounds of other products valued at
$12 million.

xii

Nonedible imports were valued at $1,140 million in 1981.
This value was $3 million less than the record $1,143 million
established in 1979 but an increase of 18 percent from 1980.

EXPORTS. Total U.S. exports of edible and nonedible
fishery products of domestic origin were a record $1.157
million in 1981, an increase of 15 percent from 1980. U.S.
exports of edible fishery products of domestic origin set
records in quantity and value in 1981 of 669 million pounds
and $1,073 million, compared to the 1980 edible exports of
574 million pounds and $904 million. Exports of fresh and
frozen items (principally salmon) were 516 million pounds
valued at $744 million, canned items 101 million pounds
valued at $176 million, and cured items 46 million pounds
valued at $146 million.

Exports of nonedible products were valued at $84.2
million in 1981, $17.6 million less than the record year 1980.
The decline in value of exports of nonedible products in 1981
can be attributed to smaller shipments of fish and marine
animal oils (principally menhaden) and fish meal.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES 13

GENERAL. The number of marine recreational
fishermen has increased substantially in the last
decade. Recent estimates indicate that there are |5-
20 million recreational fishermen in the United
States whose combined harvests account for
approximately 30-35 percent of the total U.S. finfish
harvest used for food. Expenditures by these
fishermen for recreational fishing, the value of
associated industries (such as tackle, boat and trailer
manufacturers, and the party and charter boat
industries), and the value of the recreational fishing
experience itself are significant components of the
U.S. economy.

DATA COLLECTION. Detailed statistical
information on marine recreational fishing is required
to support the objectives of the Magnuson Fishery
Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (MFCMA,
PL 94-265). The MFCMA mandates preparation of
management plans that promote domestic com-
mercial and recreational fisheries, utilizing the best
available biological, economic, and social
information. Although reliable data on commercial
fisheries have been collected for many years, the
lack of a continuous or systematic collection of
marine recreational fishery data has resulted in an
inadequate data base.

Previous marine recreational fishing surveys have
employed either a survey of fishermen at home
(household survey) or a survey of fishermen at the
fishing location (creel census or intercept survey.)
The majority of these efforts covered limited
geographic areas, were seasonal in nature or
addressed specific fisheries. The most significant
problems of these surveys related to the high cost of
the surveys and the reliability of the results. For
example, previous surveys required fishermen to
recall information up to one year in the past. Biases
introduced by the inability of fishermen to accurately
recall the number and size of fish caught, and to
correctly identify the species caught, raised
questions regarding the reliability of the data. These
questions together with other inadequacies in
statistical design prompted the NMFS to examine
ways of improving the survey design to provide more
acceptable data.

CURRENT APPROACH. An optimum survey design
consisting of two independent survey techniques used
in 1979 was the result of methodology studies
conducted in 1976 and 1977. The chosen design
utilized an intercept survey of fishermen and a
telephone survey of households. Each technique
provided certain information that when combined
produced estimates of recreational catch, effort, and
participation.

The first method of this "complemented" survey
approach involved an on-site intercept survey in four
fishing modes: beach/bank; party and charter boat;
private and rental boat; and fishing from man-made
structures. The allocation of interviews over time
and by fishing mode was derived from the
identification of all fishing sites in coastal counties
by fishing activity. Interviews and examination of
fishermen's catches were conducted after they had
finished fishing or in some cases while they were still
fishing. The type of data collected included fishing
effort, catch, distribution of catch by species,
weights, lengths, mode, and location of fishing.

The second method in the complemented surveys
approach involved a telephone survey of households.
In each coastal State all counties within a specified
distance from the coast were included in the sample.
The first eight digits of the telephone numbers called
were obtained from a computerized data file of in-
service residential numbers in each county; the last
two digits were randomly generated. Calls were
allocated by two-month periods and by county
according to estimated fishing activity and
population. The type of data collected included the
number of fishermen, the number of trips, location of
fishing, and mode of fishing for each trip. A two-
month recall period was used for the telephone
survey since beyond that time the respondents
memory concerning dates and locations of trips was
not sufficiently reliable. Fishermen were not asked
detailed information about catch and effort because
of the problem in identifying species caught and in
recalling weights and lengths.

HOW DATA WAS COMBINED. The household survey
collected data from residents with telephones in
coastal counties. The intercept survey sample was
similar but also included interviews with residents of
non-telephone households and of non-coastal coun-
ties. During data processing, information collected
in the household survey was combined with the
intercept survey data to derive expanded estimates
of the number of trips taken, the amount of finfish
caught (number and weight), and the number of
participants in fishing activities.

The estimate of the total number of fish caught in
the survey includes: (1) those fish brought ashore in
whole form which were available for identification,
enumeration, weighing, and measuring by the
interviewers (Catch Type A); (2) those fish used for
bait, discarded dead, given away or brought ashore
filleted or in some other dressed form (Catch Type
BI); and (3) those fish released alive (Catch Type
B2). In addition to estimating total catch, the survey
provides an estimate for the components of total
catch as shown in the following diagram.

1979 RESULTS. The first year's survey from
January 1979 through December 1979 included the
Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, Caribbean area (Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and the Western
Pacific area (Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa).
The second year's survey covered calendar year
1980 and included the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast,
and the Western Pacific area (including the
Northern Mariana Islands.) A l-year survey was
started on the Pacific Coast in July 1979 and was
later extended to December 1980 in order to
coincide with other 1980 surveys. For 1981, all
areas of the United States were included in the

Released alive
(Catch Type B2)

survey. These surveys are planned to continue
annually for the next several years.

The following data and tables are excerpted from
the 1979 report "Marine Recreational Fishery
Statistics Survey, Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, 1979."
Additional data such as State landings and fishing
trips are included in the original document (CFS No.
8063; for ordering information see PUBLICATIONS
section). Additional reports covering the Caribbean,
Pacific, and Western Pacific survey regions are
scheduled for publication in 1982.

eels).

Note:--There are 2,204.6 pounds in a metric ton. Prior to 1970, the world commercial catch of
whales and seals is excluded. For the years 1970-1980, data for marine mammals and aquatic
plants are excluded. There is a revision in the total world commercial catch 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.

(1) Estimated by FAO.

Note:--Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 158 countries. The total
value of exports is consistently less than the total value of imports, probably because charges
for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value but not in the
export value. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1. Fish, fresh,
chilled or frozen; 2. Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3. Crustaceans and mollusks, fresh,
frozen, dried, salted etc.; 4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight
containers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk products and preparations, whether or not in airtight
containers; 6. Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic animal origin; and 7. Meals,
solubles, and similar animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.

INDEXES OF EXVESSEL PRICES

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

(Current price X_1967 quantity) = jydex for each speciés

1967 average monthly value

To calculate the index for salmon, tuna, New England
finfish, and other shellfish, the current monthly values
for each of these species are added together and divided
by

by the aggregate 1967 average monthly values for the
group. To calculate monthly indexes for edible
finfish, edible shellfish, edible fish, industrial fish,
and all fish, the index number for each species is
multiplied by a factor representing its importance in
the total exvessel value of all species of fish and
shellfish for the period 1966-70; the sum of these
products is the index number for the group of species.

Each index number calculated for years other than
the base year of 1967 measures price changes from
the reference period (1967) which equals 100. An
increase of 85 percent from the reference period in
the index, for example, is shown as 185.0. This
change can also be expressed in dollars, as follows:
The price of a species of fish that sold in the United
States for $1.00 per pound in 1967 has increased to
$1.85 per pound.

VALUE ADDED, MARGINS, AND CONSUMER EXPENDITURES FOR EDIBLE FISHERY PRODUCTS IN THE
UNITED STATES, 1980 AND 1981 - Continued

FOOTNOTES

(1) For imported fishery products, the margin and sales values at different levels are calculated in the same manner as
they are done for the domestic production column, except that the markup rate at the processor level is 0.7111 in1980
and 0.7253 in 1981; at the wholesale level the markup rate is 0.1696 in 1980 and 0.1716 in 1981. In 1980 and 1981
the distribution rate for imported products is 51 percent at retail stores, 43 percent at eating places, and 6 percent at
institutions.

(2) Value-added rate at each level is the weighted average of all fishery products, expressed as a percentage of its
corresponding margin.

(3) Multiply each item under the total margin column by its corresponding value under the value-added rate column to
get the actual value added as contribution to the economy from all production and distribution levels of the U.S. fishing
industry in the food fish sector.

(4) Value of landings of fish for industrial purposes is deducted.

(5) Exports of unprocessed fish are deducted from the value of the landings after being converted to an equivalent value
for domestic landings.

(6) Processor’s purchase value (or domestic sales at the harvesting level) times the processor's markup rate (weighted
average for all fishery products is 1.1378 in 1980 and 1.1401 in 1981) equals the margin at the processor's level.

(7) Exports of processed products are deducted at their export value from this level.

(8) Wholesale purchase value (processors domestic sales and unprocessed products from domestic landings) times the
weighted average of markup rates (0.2095 for 1980 and 0.2100 for 1981).

(9) In 1980 and 1981, 39.7 percent of wholesale sales value of domestic products is distributed to retailers. This value
times the weighted average of markup rates (0.2878 in 1980 and 0.2882 in 1981) at the retail level equals the margin at
retail.

(10) In 1980 and 1981, 55.3 percent of wholesale sales value of domestic products is distributed to public eating places.
Ata markup rate of 1.200 for 1980 and 1981, the margin and sales values at this level are obtained.

(11) For domestic products, 5 percent of wholesale sales value is distributed to institutions with a markup rate of
0.6520 in 1980 and 0.6510 in 1981; the margin and sales values at this level are then calculated.

(12) Consumer expenditures are the total sales value at retail stores, public eating places, and institutions. This total is
also the sum of margins of five marketing levels and the landings value after export value is deducted.

Note:--The concept and derivation of value-added, markup rates, and consumer expenditures for edible fishery products
are discussed in two comprehensive reports: Cost Analyses of U.S. Fish Price Margins, 1972-77, at Different Production
and Distribution Levels and Marketing Bill and Its Cost Components of U.S. Food Fish Products, both prepared by
Erwin S. Penn (202-634-7111) of the Economic Analysis Staff, Office of Policy and Planning, Fx53.

A detailed discussion of the procedures for calculating the results of this table appeared in a paper Value Added,
Margins, and Consumer Expenditures for Edible Fishery Products in the United States 1976-78, by Erwin S. Penn and
Wenona J. Crews, published in the December 1979 issue of the Marine Fisheries Review, NMFS, NOAA.

ae PER CAPITA USE

Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is
based on the supply of fishery products, both edible
and nonedible (industrial), on a round-weight equiv-
alent basis, without considering beginning or ending
stocks, defense purchases, or exports (see page 67).

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per
capita consumption data (see page 89). Per capita
consumption figures represent edible (for human use)
meat-weight consumption rather than round-weight

consumption. In addition, per capita consumption
includes allowances for beginning and ending stocks,
defense purchases, and exports, whereas the use does
not include such allowances.

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

(1) Data include U.S. commercial landings and imports of both edible and nonedible (industrial)
fishery products on a round-weight basis. "Total supply" is not adjusted for beginning and

ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports.

(2) Domestic landings data used in calculating these data are preliminary.
Note:--From 1970 through 1980, population and per capita utilization data were revised to

reflect the results of the 1980 census.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION 89

Annual per capita consumption of seafood products represents the pounds of edible meat consumed
from domestically-caught and imported fish and shellfish adjusted for beginning and ending inventories,
exports, and military purchases, divided by the civilian population of the United States as of July | of each
year.

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND 101
MANAGEMENT ACT

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(MFCMA), Public Law 94-265 as amended, provides for
the conservation and exclusive management of all fishery
resources within the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ)
except highly migratory species of tuna. It also provides
for exclusive management authority over continental shelf
fishery resources and anadromous species beyond the U.S.
FCZ, except during the time they are found within any
foreign nation’s territorial sea or fishery conservation zone
(or the equivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone is
recognized by the United States.

The U.S. FCZ extends from the seaward boundaries of
the territorial sea (3 nautical miles from shore for all but 2
States) to 200 nautical miles from shore. The seaward
boundaries of Texas, Puerto Rico, and the Gulf Coast of
Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles).

GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL
FISHERY AGREEMENTS

Under the MFCMA, the U.S. Department of State,
with cooperation from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, negotiates a Governing International Fishery
Agreement (GIFA) with any foreign country wishing to
fish within the U.S. FCZ. After the GIFA is signed, it is
transmitted by the President to the Congress for review.

FOREIGN FISHING PERMIT

After a GIFA is in force, the foreign nation submits a
vessel permit application for each vessel to the U.S.
Department of State. The U.S. Department of State
provides copies of the application to the Congress, the U.S.
Coast Guard, the appropriate Regional Fishery
Management Council, and to the Assistant Administrator
for Fisheries of the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) with 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 all
recommendations pertinent to the application and, after
consultation with the U.S. Department of State and the
U.S. Coast Guard, may approve the application. The
conditions and restrictions on the approval of the
application are sent to the foreign nation through the U.S.
Department of State, and must be accepted by the nation
before a permit is issued.

FEES

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

The permit fees in 1981 were modified to recover
administrative costs of issuing permits and providing
logbooks. A uniform permit fee of $50 per vessel was
charged for catching, processing or other support vessel
permits. Permit fees are paid when permit applications
are submitted.

The poundage fees in 1981 were computed by assessing
3.5, 7, or 10 percent of the dockside (exvessel) price of
fish that were actually caught by each nation. Seven
percent was the basic percentage applied; 3.5 percent
was used when 7 percent would make a_ fishery
uneconomic, and 10 percent was used for species
particularly important to U.S. fishermen.

In 1981, the United States imposed a surcharge of
20 percent on each nation’s permit fee and poundage
fee, but not on the observer fee. The surcharge is used to
capitalize a fund to compensate U.S. fishermen operating
in the U.S. FCZ whose vessels or gear are lost or damaged
because of conflicts with foreign vessels.

The observer fee covers U.S. costs including salary, per
diem, transportation, and overhead for U.S. observers on
board foreign vessels. The fee is computed on the basis of
actual observer trips.

FOREIGN ALLOCATIONS

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

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

102 MFCMA

FMP’s and PMP’s

Under the Magnuson Act, eight Regional Fishery
Management Councils are charged with preparing Fishery
Management Plans (FMP’s) for the fisheries needing
management under their jurisdiction. After the Councils
develop FMP's, which cover domestic and foreign fishing
efforts, the FMP’s 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 (PMP’s), which only cover foreign
fishing efforts, are prepared by the Secretary for each
fishery for which a foreign nation requests a permit. The
Secretary is also empowered to produce an FMP for any
fishery that a Council has not duly produced. In this latter
case, the Secretary’s plan covers domestic and foreign
fishing.

As of January 1, 1982, seven Preliminary Fishery
Management Plans (PMP’s) were in effect, many of which
have been amended since first being implemented.

Atlantic Billfishes and Sharks

Northwest Atlantic

Hake Fisheries of the Northwestern
Atlantic

Trawl Fisheries off the Coasts
of Washington, Oregon, and Califonia

Bering Sea Snails

Pacific Billfishes and Oceanic
Sharks ?

Seamount Groundfish ot the Pacific

Under Section 304 of the Magnuson Act, all Council-
prepared FMP‘s must be reviewed by the Secretary of

Commerce. As of January 1, 1982, six plans were under-
going Secretarial Review.

Billfish of the Western Pacific Region

Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources (South Atlantic
and Gulf of Mexico)

Groundfish off the Coasts of Washington, Oregon, and
California

Reef Fish (Gulf of Mexico)

Spiny Lobster (Caribbean)

Spiny Lobster (Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic)

After plans are approved under Section 304 of the
Magnuson Act, they are implemented with Federal
regulations under Section 305 of the Act. As of January
1, 1982, one plan was awaiting implementation.

Precious Corals of the Western Pacific Region

As of January 1, 1982, 14 FMP’s were fully
implemented, many of which have been amended since
initial implementation.

reports provide description and analysis of those economic factors
affecting markets for fishery Products. The narrative includes a
review of market trends, both historical and recent, and an outlook
for the near future. Statistical tables are presented for landings,
Production, imports, inventories, supplies, apparent consumption,
and prices (exvessel, wholesale, and retail).

Operation Price Watch

This report is based on an informal NMFS survey of retail prices
of fish and other items. The report is published monthly. It
includes prices of surveyed items in each of 10 cities and three
price indexes (fish, meat, and Poultry). Because prices of some
items, notably fresh fish, are not regularly available, they are not
included in the 10-city averages, nor in the indexes. The three
indexes differ from those published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS), which conducts separate formal surveys of retail
Prices for the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) provides many services with emphasis on developing our Nation's

fisheries, particularly for underuti
for a variety of species of fish an

lized species. Information is available describing foreign and domestic markets
d shellfish. Other services include assistance to organize fishery cooperatives,

information on foreign tariffs, trade barriers, fishing vessel safety and insurance, and to identify needless
regulations which erode industry stability and limit its growth. Market reports covering foodfish, shellfish, and
industrial fishery products are issued periodically. Consumer services include educational and training information
material for consumers, trade and retail food industries. Information on seafood purchasing, preparation, and
handling is supplied through the industry representatives and trade associations. Financial services are available to
give fishermen access to private sources of long term financing for fishing vessel construction, reconstruction, and
reconditioning (see back cover). A voluntary Federal inspection service is provided for fishery products to ensure
that wholesome, safe, and acceptable seafood products are provided for the consumer (see inside back cover).

ANADROMOUS SPECIES. These are species of fish
that mature in the ocean, and then ascend streams to
spawn in freshwater. In the MFCMA, these species

milk, vegetables, or other products. Most, but not
all, canned fishery products can be stored at room
temperature for an indefinite time without spoiling.

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

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

CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RESOURCES.
These are living organisms of any sedentary species

GLOSSARY

that are at the harvestable stage either (a) immobile
on or under the seabed or (b) unable to move except
in constant physical contact with the seabed or
subsoil of the continental shelf. The MFMCA 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.

CURED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Products preserved
by drying, pickling, salting, and 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.

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY _ (EEC).

of Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, and
United Kingdom.

EXVESSEL PRICE. Price received at the dock for
fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals.

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.

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

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.

FISH PORTION. A piece of fish flesh that is
generally of uniform size with thickness of 3/8 of an
inch or more 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."

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

GLOSSARY

FISH STICK. An elongated piece of breaded fish
flesh weighing not less than 3/4 of an ounce and not
more than |-|/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.

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 de-
veloped by a Regional Fishery Management Council

to manage a fishery resource pursuant to the
MFCMA.

FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An
individual who receives more than 50 percent of their
annual income from commercial fishing activities,
including port activity, such as vessel repair and re-

rigging.

GROSS REGISTERED TONNAGE (GRT). The gross
registered tonnage of a vessel is the internal cubic
capacity of all space in and on the vessel that is
permanently enclosed, with the exception of certain
permissible exemptions. GRT is expressed in tons of
100 cubic feet.

GROUNDFISH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or
near the sea floor. The term includes a wide variety
of bottomfishes, rockfishes, and flatfishes. However,
NMFS sometimes uses the term in a narrower sense.
In import statistics shown in "Fisheries of the United
States," the term applies to the following species:
cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock, and Atlantic ocean
perch.

INDEXES OF EXVESSEL PRICES. Indexes of
exvessel prices in this report are calculated by
averaging prices for the various species of fish. The
weight assigned to each species represents its
importance in the total exvessel value of all species
in 1966-70. Detailed data are aggregated to obtain
indexes for groups of species. Each index measures
price changes from 1967, the reference period, which
is designed as 100. An increase of 85 percent from
the reference period in the index, for example, is
shown as 185.0.

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

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE
NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES (ICNAF). This
convention, which entered into force on July 3, 1950,
was for the investigation, protection, and con-
servation of the fishery resources of the Northwest
Atlantic Ocean. In 1975, there were 18 member
nations. The United States withdrew from ICNAF on

127

December 31, 1976, because continued adherence to
the convention was deemed incompatible with the

extension of U.S. fishery management jurisdictions to
200 miles under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation
and Management Act of 1976. See Northwest
Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO).

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

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

MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND
MANAGEMENT ACT, Public Law 94-265, as
amended, (MFCMA). The Act provides a national
program for the conservation and management of
fisheries to allow for an optimum yield (OY) on a
continuing basis and to realize the full potential of
the Nation's fishery resources. The MFCMA
established the U.S. fishery conservation zone (FCZ)
and a means to control foreign and certain domestic
fisheries through PMPs and FMPs. Within the U.S.
FCZ, the United States has exclusive management
authority over all fish (meaning finfish, mollusks,
crustaceans, and all other forms of marine animal
and plant life other than marine mammals, birds, and
highly migratory species of tuna). The Act provides
further exclusive management authority beyond the
U.S. FCZ for all continental shelf fishery resources
and all anadromous species throughout the migratory
range of each such species, except during the time
they are found within any foreign nation's territorial
sea or fishery conservation zone (or the equivalent),
to the extent that such a sea or zone is recognized by
the United States.

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

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for
pleasure, amusement, relaxation, or home con-
sumption. If part or all of the catch is sold, the
monetary returns constitute an insignificant part of
the person's income.

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

128 GLOSSARY

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

NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES ORGANI-
ZATION (NAFO). This convention, which entered
into force January |, 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 INAFO
management measures in this area and those adopted
by the coastal nations within the limits of their
fishery jurisdiction. U. S. adherence to the NAFO
Convention is anticipated in 1980.

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

OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the MFCMA, OY with
respect to the yield from a fishery, is the amount of
fish that (1) will provide the greatest overall benefit
to the United States, with particular reference to
food production and recreational opportunities; and
_(2) is prescribed as such on the basis of maximum
sustainable yield from such fishery, as modified by
any relevant ecological, economic, or social factors.

PACKAGED FISH. A term used in NMFS
publications prior to 1972 to designate fresh or
frozen raw fish fillets and steaks.

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

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Consumption of
edible fishery products in the United States divided
by the total civilian population. In calculating annual
per capita consumption, estimates of the civilian
resident population of the United States on July | of
each year are used. These estimates are taken from
current population reports, series P-25, published by
the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

PER CAPITA USE. The use of all fishery products,
both edible and nonedible, in the United States
divided by the total population of the United States.

PRELIMINARY FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN
(PMP). The Secretary of Commerce prepares a PMP
whenever a foreign nation with whom the United
States has made a Governing International Fishery
Agreement (GIFA) submits an application to fish in a

fishery, for which there is no fishery management
plan (FMP). A PMP is replaced by an FMP as soon as
the latter is implemented. A PMP applies only to
foreign fishing.

RETAIL PRICE. The price of fish and shellfish sold
to the final consumer by food stores and other retail
outlets.

ROUND (LIVE) WEIGHT. The weight of fish,
shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals as taken
from the water; the complete or full weight as
caught. The tables on world catch found in this
publication include, in the case of mollusks, the
weight of both the shells and the meats, whereas the
tables on U.S. landings include only the weight of the
meats.

- TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING

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

U.S. FISHERY CONSERVATION ZONE (FCZ). The
MFCMA defines this zone as contiguous to the
territorial sea of the United States and extending
seaward 200 nautical miles measured from the
baseline from which the territorial sea is measured.

U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by
all U.S. 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.

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

BEISHERY 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 techiques and
product quality and condition. Products
packed in plants under USDC inspection
can carry marks for easy consumer
identification.

FEDERAL INSPECTION MARKS.
Federal inspection marks are official
marks approved by the Secretary of
Commerce and authorized for use on
brand labels of fishery products. When
displayed on product labels, these
marks signify that inspectors licensed
by the Department of Commerce
inspected, graded, and certified the
products as having met all the
tequirements 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

(Us. GRADE)
ar

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

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

1. The product is clean,
wholesome.

safe, and

2. The product is of a specified quality,
identified by the appropriate U.S.
Grade designation, as determined
by a federally - licensed inspector
in accordance with established
requirements in U.S. Grade
Standards.

3. The product was produced in an
acceptable establishment with proper
equipment and in an appropriate
Nain environment as required

y food control authorities.

4. The product was processed under
supervision by federally - licensed
food inspectors and packed in
accordance with specific
Good Manufacturing Practice
Requirements.

PACKED UNDER
FEDERAL
INSPECTION

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

“PACKED UNDER FEDERAL
INSPECTION” MARK. “Packed Under
Federal Inspection” may be displayed as
an official mark or as an official
statement on the product label. The
mark or statement signifies that the
properly labeled product is clean, safe,
and wholesome and has been produced

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

Financing For Fishing Vessels _

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

The Fishing Vessel Obligation Guarantee Program is available for financing
up to 87% percent of the cost of constructing, reconstructing, or
reconditioning fishing vessels of 5 net tons or over.
years are available.

The long-term financing available under this program allows fishing vessel
owners to stretch the debt service of their vessel construction or refurbishing
costs over a period of time equal to the economically useful life of their vessel.
Down payments are low and interest costs are reasonable.

The Fishing Vessel Capital Construction Fund Program allows fishing
vessel owners to defer payment of Federal tax on any portion of income
earned from the operation of fishing vessels of at least 2 net tons when that
income is reserved for payment toward the cost of vessel construction or
reconstruction.

This provides an interest-free loan from the U.S. Government equal to
the Federal taxes which otherwise would have been paid on vessel income.
Deferred taxes are eventually repaid to the U.S. Government through a
reduction in the depreciation allowed on vessels constructed or reconstructed
with tax deferred: funds. The ‘‘interest-free loan” character of the tax deferral,
thus, continues through the depreciable life of the vessel.

This tax-deferral program compensates for vessel owner’s general lack of
access to the equity capital market by reducing the amount which must be
initially borrowed from conventional sources to finance vessel construction or
reconstruction.

Several other programs are available. One compensates for fishing gear
which has been damaged or destroyed under certain circumstances; another
indemnifies against seizure by foreign governments; and one compensates for
gear damage which has been caused by outer continential shelf energy
activities.
