Evans, Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr. Vice Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret.), Under Secretary National Marine Fisheries Service William T. Hogarth, Ph.D., Assistant Administrator Preface FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 2003 This publication is a preliminary report for 2003 on commercial and recreational fisheries of the United States with landings from the U.S. territorial seas, the U.S. Exclustve Economic Zone (EEZ), and on the high seas. This annual report provides timely answers to frequently asked questions. SOURCES OF DATA Information in this report came from many sources. Field offices of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMEBS), with the generous cooperation of the coastal states, collected and compiled data on U.S. commercial landings and processed fishery products. The NMP Fisheries Statistics Division in Silver Spring, MD, managed the collection and compilation of recre- ational statistics, in cooperation with various States and Interstate Fisheries Commissions, and tabulated and prepared all 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, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA Data on U.S. commercial landings, employment, prices, production of processed products, and recreational catches are preliminary for 2003. Final data will be published in other NMFS Current Fishery Statistics publications. The Fisheries Statistics Division of NMFS takes this opportunity to thank states, industry, and foreign nations who provided the data that made this publication pos- sible. Program leaders of the field offices were: Gregory Power, Scott McNamara, and Gene Steady for New England, Middle Atlantic, and Chesapeake; Scott Nelson, U.S. Geological Survey, Great Lakes States; David Gloeckner, Guy Davenport, and Maggie Williams for the South Atlantic and Gulf States; Patricia J. Donley, California, David Hamm, Hawaii and Pacific Islands; John K. Bishop, Oregon and Washington; and Robert Ryznar and Camille Ruse of the Alaska Fisheries Infor- mation Network for Alaska. NOTES The time series of U.S. catch by species and distance from shore included in this year’s “Fisheries of the U.S.” is estimated by the National Marine Fisheries Service. ii As in past issues of this publication, the units of quantity and value are defined as follows unless otherwise noted: U.S. landings are shown in round weight (except mol- lusks which are in meat weight); quantities shown for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census; the value of the U.S. domestic commercial landings is exvessel; in the Review Section on important species, deflated exvessel prices are shown. The deflated value was computed using the Gross Domestic Products Implicit Price Deflator using a base year 2000; 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 and insurance from the foreign country to the United States; the value for exports is generally the value at the U.S. port of export, based on the selling price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges. Countries and territories shown in the U.S. foreign trade section are established for statistical purposes in the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (International Trade Commission) and reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. SUGGESTIONS The Fisheries Statistics Division wishes to provide the kinds of data sought by users of fishery statistics, and welcomes comments or suggestions that will improve this publication.

The remaining total is divided by a population value to estimate per capita consumption. Data for the model are derived primarily from second- ary sources and are subject to incomplete reporting; changes in source data or invalid model assumptions may each have a significant effect on the resulting calculation. U.S. per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 16.3 pounds (edible meat) in 2003. This total was 0.7 pounds more than the 15.6 pounds consumed in 2002. Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 11.4 pounds, 0.4 pound more than 2002. Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 5.7 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 5.7 pounds per capita. The fresh and frozen finfish includes approximately 1.1 pounds of farm raised catfish. Consumption of canned fishery products was 4.6 pounds per capita in 2003, 0.3 pound more than the 4.3 pounds in 2002. Cured fish accounted for 0.3 pound per capita, the same as in previous years. Imports of edible seafood made up 78 percent of the consumption. PER CAPITA USE. Per capita use is based on the supply of fishery products, both edible and non-edible (industrial), on a round-weight equivalent basis without considering beginning or ending stocks, defense pur- chases, or exports. The per capita use of all edible and industrial fishery products in 2003 was 68.2 pounds, up 2.2 pounds compared with 2002. WORLD CONSUMPTION. The FAO calculation for apparent consumption is based on a disappearance model. The three year average considers, on a round weight equivalent basis, a countries landings, imports, and exports. The revised 1999-2001 data indicates that the United States ranks as the third largest consumer of seafood in the world. Per Capita Consumption ———— ren Annual per capita consumption of seafood products represents the pounds of edible meat consumed from domestcally-caught and imported fish and shellfish adjusted for and exports, divided by the civilian population of the United States as of July 1 of each year.

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data. Per capita consumpuon figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round weight consumpton. In addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does not include such allowances. Per capita use is derived by using total population including U.S. Armed Forces overseas. The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

The table indexes the average annual exvessel value (price per pound) received for each species or group to the average price per pound received for the same species or group in the base year 1982. The exvessel price for each year was obtained by dividing total value for each species or group by its total quantity as reported in the U.S. commercial landings tables on pages 8 thru 13. The index for each species or group was obtained by multiplying the current annual price by the total quantity caught in 1982 (the base year). That number was then divided by the 1982 value to obtain the final index: (100 x Current price X 1982 quantity) = Index 1982 Annual value Each index number measures price changes from the 1982 reference period when the index equaled 100. A species of fish that sold for $0.75 a pound in 1986 and a $1.00 a pound in 1982 would have an index of 75 in 1986. In 2003, if the price of the same species increased to $1.07, the index in 2003 would be 107 Percent Changes in the Exvessel Price Index, 1996-2002 (Change Relative to Base Year = 1982) Index Change MG_ WW WY ~~ Y Y Y 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 MQQAAAAQAQ QA MQQYQY QQ MQAQQ Q WW 2003 YEAR O Edible Finfish @ Edible Shellfish @ Industrial Fish 91 Prices INDEXES OF EXVESSEL PRICES FOR FISH AND SHELLFISH, BY YEARS, 1997-2003 (1982=100) ee ee ee ee ee Groundfish, et al: Cod Haddock Pollock: Atlantic Alaska Flounders Total groundfish, et al.

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man- agement Act, Public Law 94-265 as amended (Magnuson- Stevens Act), provides for the conservation and manage- ment of fishery resources within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It also provides for fishery management authority over continental shelf resources and anadromous species beyond the EEZ, except when they are found within a foreign nation’s territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or equivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone is recognized by the United States. The EEZ extends from the seaward boundary of each of the coastal States (generally 3 nautical miles from shore for all but two States) to 200 nautical miles from shore. The seaward boundaries of Texas, Puerto Rico, and the Gulf coast of Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). The EEZ encompasses approximately 3.36 million square nautical miles. GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENT Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the Secretary of State, in cooperation with the Secretary of Commerce, nego- tiates Governing International Fishery Agreements (GIFAs) with foreign nations requesting to fish within the EEZ. After a GIFA is signed, it is transmitted by the President to the Congress for ratification. FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS Title I] of the Magnuson-Stevens Act governs foreign fishing in the EEZ. The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica- tion. As U.S. fishing capacity grew, foreign participation in directed fisheries, as well as in foreign joint ventures in which U.S. vessels delivered U.S. harvested fish to permitted foreign vessels in the EEZ diminished until, in 1991, foreign vessels no longer were permitted to conduct directed fishing in the EEZ. This marked the achievement of one of the objectives of the Magnuson- Stevens Act, that is, the development of the U.S. fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underuulized species, and the displacement of directed foreign fishing effort in the EEZ. As a result of the above, there has been very little total allowable level of foreign fishing (TALFF) issued since 1991. NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertaining to foreign fishing should there bea situation in the future in which allowing limited foreign fishing in an underutilized fishery would be of advantage to the U.S. fishing industry. FMPs and PMPs Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, eight Regional Fish- ery Management Councils are charged with preparing Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the fisheries needing management within their areas of authority. After the Councils prepare FMPs that cover domestic and foreign fishing efforts, the FMPs are submitted to the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) for approval and implementation. The Department, through NMFS agents and the U.S. Coast Guard, ts responsible for enforcing the law and regulations. The Secretary is empowered to prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species. Where no FMP exists, Preliminary Fishery Management Plans (PMPs), which only cover foreign fishing efforts, are prepared by the Secretary for each fishery for which a foreign nation requests a permit. The Secretary is also empowered to produce an FMP for any fishery that a Council has not duly produced. In this latter case, the Secretary's FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing. The Atlantic swordfish, Atlantic sharks, and Atlantic billfish fisheries are currently being managed by the Secretary under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and the Western Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery is managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Adiantic Tunas Con- vention Act. Under section 304 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, all Council-prepared FMPs must be reviewed for approval by the Secretary of Commerce. Approved FMPs are implemented by Federal regulations under section 305 of the Act. As of December 31, 2003, there are 48 FMPs in effect. Of these, two are Secretarial FMPs for Adantic highly migratory species. The FMPs are listed below, under the responsible Council. FMPs may be amended by the Council and the amendments are submitted for approval under the same Secretarial review process as new FMPs. Most of the FMPs have been amended since initial implementation, and the number of amendments is shown with each plan. 95 96 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Pacific Fishery Management Council 1.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS: The Division of International Science and Technology, NMBS, prepares assessments of major fisheries to support priority NMFS programs. These reports may be of interest to the wider fishery community as they include biological, commercial, and technical informa- tion of potential use to academicians, industry, and environmentalists. Swordfish: In 1997 work was completed on a six-volume study, culminating a five-year research project to compile and analyze information on every key swordfish catching nation in the world. World Swordfish Fisheries is the most comprehensive documentation of this fishery ever produced. Each volume of the study contains informa- tion on catch, fishing grounds, fishing fleets, gear and methods, markets, trade, bycatch, research, international relations, and other facets of the fishery. The books are carefully documented and have extensive statistical ap- pendices, graphics, and photographic images to help explain the fishery and illustrate key trends. Reports on the swordfish fisheries of the Atlantic-coast countries of Latin America was published in 1999 and reports on the Caribbean islands in 2001. The reports were published as NOAA Fisheries Technical Memoranda. These books are available from the NOAA Library: Steve Quillen, NOAA Library, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910 (Steve.Quillen@noaa.gov) If NOAA Library supplies are exhausted, xerox copies of these reports can be purchased from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS).

In the Magnuson Act, these species include, but are not limited to, Atlantic and Pacific salmons, steelhead trout, and striped bass. See 42 FR 60682, Nov. 28, 1977. ANALOG PRODUCTS. These include imitation and simulated crab, lobster, shrimp, scallops, and other fish and shellfish products fabricated from processed fish meat (such as surimi). AQUACULTURE. The farming of aquatic organisms in marine, brackish or fresh water. Farming implies private or corporate ownership of the organism and enhancement of production by stocking, feeding, pro- viding protection from predators, or other management measures. Aquaculture production is reported as the weight and value of cultured organisms at their point of final sale. BATTER-COATED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portions or other forms of fish or shellfish coated with a batter containing a leavening agent and mixture of cereal products, flavoring, and other ingredients, and partially cooked in hot oil a short time to expand and set the batter.

Sticks and portions or other forms of fish or shellfish coated with a non- leavened mixture containing cereal products, flavorings, and other ingredients. Breaded products are sold raw or partially cooked. ‘’ BREADED SHRIMP. Peeled shrimp coated with breading. The product may be identified as fantail (butterfly) and round, with or without tail fins and last shell segment; also known as portions, sticks, steaks, etc., when prepared from a composite unit of two or more shrimp pieces whole shrimp or a combination of both without fins or shells. BUTTERELY FILLET. Two skin-on fillets of a fish joined together by the belly skin. See fillets. CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS. Fish, shellfish, or other aquatic animals packed in cans, or other contain- ers, which are hermetically sealed and heat-sterilized. Canned fishery products may include milk, vegetables, or other products. Most, but not all, canned fishery prod- ucts 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 con- sumed 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. produc- tion of fishery products from both domestically caught and imported fish, shellfish, other edible aquatic plants, animals, and imported products and excludes exports and purchases by the U.S. Armed Forces. CONTINENTAL SHELF FISHERY RE- SOURCES. These are living organisms of any sedentary species that at the harvestable stage are either (a) immo- bile on or under the seabed, (b) unable to move except in constant physical contact with the seabed or subsoil of the continental shelf. The Magnuson Act 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 pre- served by drying, pickling, salting, or smoking; not including canned, frozen, irradiated, or pasteurized prod- ucts. 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 prod- ucts are cured with smoke or a combination of smoking and drying or salting. DEFLATED VALUE. The deflated values referred to in this document are calculated with the Gross Domestic Products Implicit Price Deflator. The base year for this index is 1987. EDIBLE WEIGHT. The weight of a seafood item exclusive of bones, offal, etc. EEZ. See U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. EL NINO. This anomalous ocean warming of the eastern Equatorial Pacific occurs at time intervals varying from 2-10 years. El Nino conditions result in an accu- Glossary mulation of warm water off South America which reduced the upwelling of nutrient-rich water necessary to support fisheries production. These conditions extended northward to the U.S. Pacific Coast. In addition to affecting the food available for fish, El Nino appears to alter the normal ranges, distributions, and migrations of fish populations. EUROPEAN UNION. Austria, Belgium and Lux- embourg, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, Greece, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom. EXPORT VALUE. The value reported is generally equivalent to f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value at the U.S. port of export, based on the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation. The value excludes the cost of loading, freight, insurance, and other charges or trans- portation cost beyond the port of exportation. EXPORT WEIGHT. The weight of individual prod- ucts as exported, t.e., fillets, steaks, whole, breaded. etc. Includes both domestic and foreign re-exports data. EXVESSEL PRICE. Price received by the harvester 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 virtually boneless; some may be labeled as “boneless fillets.” FISH MEAL. A high-protein animal feed supplement made by cooking, pressing, drying, and grinding fish or shellfish. FISH OIL. An oil extracted from body (body oil) or liver (liver oil) of fish and marine mammals; mostly a byproduct of fish meal production. FISH PORTION. A picce 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 “con- densed 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. FISH STICK. An elongated piece of breaded fish flesh weighing notless than 3/4 ofan 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. FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FMP). A plan developed by a Regional Fishery Management Council, or the Secretary of Commerce under certain circumstances, to manage a fishery resource in the U.S. EEZ pursuant to the MFCMA (Magnuson Act). FISHING CRAFT, COMMERCIAL. Boats and vessels engaged in capturing fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals for sale. FULL-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who receives more than 50 percent of his or her annual income from commercial fishing activities, includ- ing port activity, such as vessel repair and re-rigping. GROUNDFISH. Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the sea floor. The term includes a wide variety of bottom fishes, rockfishes, and flatfishes. However, NMFS sometimes uses the term in a narrower sense. In “Fisher- ies of the United States,” the term applies to the following species--A tlantic and Pacific: cod, hake, ocean perch, and pollock; cusk; and haddock. IMPORT VALUE. Value of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs Service according to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. It may be based on foreign market value, constructed value, American selling price, etc. It generally represents a value in a foreign country, and therefore excludes U.S. import duues, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States. IMPORT WEIGHT. The weights of individual prod- ucts as received, te., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc. INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items pro- cessed 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. 119 120 Glossary INTERNAL WATER PROCESSING (IWPs). An operation in which a foreign vessel is authorized by the governor of a state to receive and process fish in the internal waters of a state. The Magnuson Act refers to internal waters as all waters within the boundaries of a state except those seaward of the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured. JOINT VENTURE. An operation authorized under the MFCMA (Magnuson Act) in which a foreign vessel is authorized to receive fish from U.S. fishermen in the U.S. EEZ. 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-STEVENS FISHERY CONSER- VATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT, Public Law 94-265, as amended. The Magnuson-Stevens Act provides a national program for the conservation and management of fisheries to allow for an optimum yield (OY) ona continuing basis and to realize the full potential of the Nation’s fishery resources. It established the U.S. Exclusive Economics Zone (EEZ) (formerly the FCZ - Fishery Conservation Zone) and a means to control foreign and certain domestic fisheries through PMPs and FMPs. Within the U.S. EEZ, the United States has exclusive management authority over fish (meaning fin- fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and all other forms of marine animal and plant life other than marine mammals, birds, and highly migratory species of tuna). The Magnuson Act provides further exclusive management authority be- yond the U.S. EEZ for all continental shelf fishery resources and all anadromous species throughout the migratory range of each such species, except during the time they are found within any foreign nation’s territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or the equivalent), to the extent that sucha sea or zone is recognized by the United States. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure, amusement, relaxation, ar home consump- tion. MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish, shellfish, and other living aquatic organisms caught, but not necessarily brought ashore, by marine recreational fisherman. 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. This definition is used in the NMFS Marine Recreational Fishery Statistics Survey, and is not intended to represent a NMFS policy on the sale of angler-caught fish. MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY). MSY from a fishery is the largest annual catch or yield in terms of weight of fish caught by both commercial and recreational fishermen that can be taken continuously from a stock under existing environmental conditions. A determination of MSY, which should be an estimate based upon the best scientific information available, ts a biological measure necessary in the development of optimum yield. METRIC TONS. A measure of weight equal to 1,000 kilograms, 0.984 long tons, 1.1023 short tons, or 2,204.6 pounds. MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft having a capacity of less than 5 net tons, or not officially documented by the Coast Guard. See “boat, other”. NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES OR- GANIZATION (NAFO). This convention, entered into force January 1, 1979, replaces ICNAF. NAFO provides a forum for continued multilateral scientific research and investigation of fishery resources that occur beyond the limits of coastal nations’ fishery jurisdiction in the northwest Atlantic, and will ensure consistency be- tween NAFO management measures in this area and those adopted by the coastal nations within the limits of their fishery jurisdiction. OPTIMUM YIELD (OY). In the MFCMA (Magnuson Act), 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 particu- lar reference to food production and recreational op- portunities; and (2) is prescribed as such on the basis of maximum sustainable yield from such fishery, as modi- fied by any relevant ecological, economic, or social factors. Glossary PART-TIME COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. An individual who receives less than 50 percent of his or her 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 popula- tion of the United States on July 1 of each year are used. These estimates are taken from current population re- ports, 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 which the United States has made a Governing International Fishery Agree- ment (GIFA) submits an application to fish in a fishery not managed by an FMP. A PMP is replaced by an FMP as soon as the latter is implemented. A PMP applies only to foreign fishing. RE-EXPORTS. Re-exports are commodities which have entered the U.S. as imports and are subsequently exported in substantially the same condition as when originally imported. 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. SURIMI. Minced fish meat (usually Alaska pollock) which has been washed to remove fat and undesirable matters (such as blood, pigments, and odorous sub- stances), and mixed with cryoprotectants, such as sugar and/or sorbitol, for a good frozen shelf life. TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING (TALFF). The TALFF, if any, with respect toany fishery subject to the exclusive fishery management authority of the United States, is that portion of the optimum yield of such fishery which will not be har- vested by vessels of the United States, as determined by provisions of the MFCMA. U.S. EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ). The MSFCMA (Magnuson-Stevens Act) defines this zone as contiguous to the territorial sea of the United States and extending seaward 200 nautical miles mea- sured from the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured. This was formerly referred to as the FCZ (Fishery Conservation Zone). U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes land- ings by all U.S. fishing vessels regardless of where landed as opposed to landings at ports in the 50 United 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 disap- pearance 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. Those prices received at principal fishery markets by primary wholesalers (processors, importers, and brokers) for customary quantities, free on board (f.0.b.) warehouse. 121 122 Statistical Subject
