PREFACE

This is a preliminary report on the fisheries of the United States for 1972. The report is a
continuation of similar annual reports designed to provide timely answers to frequently asked
questions for the year just ended. Final data will be published in Fishery Statistics of the United
States, 1972 (Statistical Digest No. 66).

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

The NMFS Statistics and Market News Division wants to take this opportunity to thank all
those States and members of industry who continually provide the data that make reports such as
this one possible. All data appearing in this publication are consistent with the provisions of the
Federal Reports Act of 1 942.

As in all past issues of this report the units of quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S.
or domestic landings are shown in terms of round (live) weight, unless otherwise noted; quantities
shown for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight as reported by the Bureau of the
Census, unless otherwise noted; the value of the U.S. or domestic catch is exvessel (see Glossary);
the value for U.S. imports generally is the market value in the foreign (exporting) country and,
therefore, excludes U.S. import duties, freight charges from the foreign country to the United
States, and insurance; the value for exports generally is the value at the U.S. port of export, based
on the selling price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges to the U.S. port of
export.

In response to suggestions from our readers, we made a few changes in this year's report. We
included commercial landings by U.S. craft at ports outside the continental United States and
Hawaii (see table on page 1 8). The tables on the U.S. whale catch and U.S. production of whale
products are deleted because the Secretary of Commerce halted commercial whaling in the
United States beginning in 1972. Tables on world fisheries are shown for the first time in both
metric measure and in pounds. Three tables have been added showing the U.S. supply of edible
and industrial fishery products for the years 1960-72. And finally, the number of species has
been greatly increased in the tables on indexes of exvessel prices.

Because the Statistics and Market News Division wishes to provide the kinds of data wanted
by users of fishery statistics, the Division welcomes any comments or suggestions that will lead to
an improvement in the presentation of fishery data. Please address any comments or suggestions
to: Chief, Statistics and Market News Division, National Marine Fisheries Service, 3300
Whitehaven Street, NW., Washington, D.C. 20235.

REVIEW

In 1972, commercial fishery landings at U.S. ports by U.S. fishermen were 4.7 billion pounds
valued at a record $703.6 million at the exvessel level. The quantity landed was 5 percent less
than in 1971, but, because of higher exvessel prices, the value was 9 percent greater than in 1971.
The 1972 average value per pound of 14.9 cents was a record high.

Landings of edible fishery products amounted to 2.3 billion pounds in 1972, down 4 percent
from 1971. U.S. landings of fish for industrial (inedible) uses declined 7 percent in 1972 as
compared with 1971.

Total U.S. landings were smaller in 1972 than in 1971, principally because of marked
decreases in landings of menhaden and salmon. The 1972 salmon landings were 31 percent less
than 1971, and menhaden landings decreased 1 1 percent. Significant decreases occurred in other
species including alewives, Atlantic cod, haddock, Pacific hake, halibut, jack mackerel, whiting,
dungeness crabs, and soft clams. Skipjack landings of 46.8 million pounds in 1972 represented a
decrease of 59 percent compared with 1971, but total tuna landings of 377.6 million pounds at
ports in the United States were 8 percent above 1971 because of increased landings of yellowfin
tuna. An additional 146.8 million pounds of tuna were landed by U.S. fishing craft at ports
outside the United States, principally in Puerto Rico (see table on page 1 8). The following species
had significant increases in landings in 1972 compared with 1971: anchovies, flounders, sea
herring, rockfishes, surf clams, king crabs, and snow crabs.

The domestic shrimp industry was the most valuable fishery in the country. The 1972 catch,
valued at a record $193.2 million, accounted for 27 percent of the total U.S. exvessel value for all
species. Landings of shrimp in the United States in 1972 were 385.0 million pounds-down 1
percent from 1971.

The value of fishery products processed in this country from both domestic and imported raw
materials set a new record in 1972-$2.3 billion, 23 percent above the previous record reached in

1971 . The 1972 canned pack of human and animal food of 56.5 million standard cases valued at
$989.3 million also set a new record. There also were record packs of tuna and clam products.
Production of fish sticks and portions were a record 383.0 million pounds with a record value of
$207.9 million, up 45.0 million pounds and $28.0 million from 1971. Both the quantity and
value of breaded shrimp production were at record levels in 1972-106.4 million pounds, valued
at $139.7 million. Production of industrial fishery products was valued at $156.2 million, again
of $49.7 million compared with 1971.

Cold storage holdings reached a record high of 419 million pounds at the end of October

1972, and by year end, despite a slight decline, were a record 415 million pounds. Imports of
edible fishery products of 2.3 billion pounds valued at $1.2 billion were almost a third greater in
quantity and 39 percent greater in value than in 1971 and established new records. The value of
nonedible fishery imports increased from $187.1 million in 1971 to $261.1 million in 1972, a
gain of 40 percent. Exports of domestic fishery products were valued at $157.9 million in 1972,
a gain of 1 3 percent.

The supply of fishery products improved in 1972 largely because of greater imports. Per
capita consumption in 1972 is estimated at 12.2 pounds (edible weight), up 0.8 pounds from
1971.

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS

•Menhaden landings of 1 .9 billion pounds accounted for 41 percent of total landings of all species
in the United States.

•Shrimp was the leading species landed in terms of value of total landings in the United States and
second in quantity.

•Tuna was the second most important species landed in the United States in terms of value and
third in quantity.

•Louisiana led all the States in volume of landings with 1,071 million pounds-followed by
Virginia, 664 million pounds; California, 640 million pounds; and Alaska, 390 million
pounds.

•For the second year, California led all States in value of landings, $92 million; followed by Texas,
$85 million; Alaska, $81 million; and Louisiana, $72 million.

•San Pedro, Calif., with landings of 452 million pounds valued at $59 million, was the leading
commercial fishing port in 1972.

•The 146.8 million pounds of tuna landed in Puerto Rico and American Samoa accounted for
four-fifths of the landings by U.S. craft at ports outside the United States. Landings of
shrimp and spiny lobsters by U.S. fishing vessels at Central and South American ports
accounted for the remainder.

•A permanent moratorium was placed on the taking and importation of any marine mammal or
marine mammal product, effective December 21, 1972, under the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972. The management of whales, porpoises (dolphins), seals, and sea
lions are the responsibility of the Department of Commerce, while all other marine
mammals are the responsibility of the Department of the Interior. The Alaska fur seal is
exempt from the moratorium. Marine mammals taken incidentally in commercial fishing
operations are exempt for 2 years after the date of enactment, October 21, 1972.

REVIEW 5

IMPORTANT SPECIES

Shrimp. . . .Landings of 385.0 million pounds of shrimp (heads-on) declined slightly compared
with the record 387.9 million pounds taken in 1971. The value, however, was a record
$193.2 million-16 percent more than in 1971, the former record year. The Gulf States
accounted for 59 percent of the total U.S. shrimp landings and 85 percent of the total value.
Texas led all States in both production and value with 97.4 million pounds worth $79.8
million. Louisiana was next with 83.0 million pounds worth $46.9 million.

Landings of 228.5 million pounds along the Gulf Coast were slightly more than in 1971 , and
the value ($163.4 million) increased 20 percent. Fishermen received record exvessel prices
for jumbo and large shrimp until midyear, but after that time prices declined markedly.
Record prices for medium and small shrimp held firm during most of the year. The very
profitable shrimp fishery in this area continued to attract investments in new trawlers. Many
Gulf shipyards at the end of the year had backlogs of orders for these vessels.

Pacific Coast States landings of 106.0 million pounds worth $6.6 million were 28 percent of
the volume and 3 percent of the value of the total U.S. shrimp harvest. Alaska led in volume
with a near-record 81.3 million pounds, followed by Oregon with a record 20.6 million
pounds-an increase of 129 percent compared with 1971. The spectacular increase in Oregon
shrimp production was caused principally by an unusually successful 1 970 hatch.

In the South Atlantic States, the shrimp fishery declined from 30.6 million pounds worth
$20.6 million in 1971 to 25.9 million pounds worth $18.5 million in 1972.

The New England landings of 24.5 million pounds worth $4.6 million were much the same
as in the previous year. Compared with 1971, Maine landings of 16.6 million pounds
declined moderately because of smaller catches during the peak season from January to
April. Massachusetts landings of 7.7 million pounds were 29 percent greater than in 1971.
Gloucester has become the leading port for New England shrimp landings, and shrimp has
become economically important to fishermen operating out of that port.

U.S. imports of shrimp (including fresh or frozen, canned, and cured) were a record 223.2
million pounds (import weight)-31.9 million more than in 1971. Mexico continued as the
leading country exporting shrimp to the United States.

Salmon. . . .Pacific salmon landings of 216.7 million pounds worth $62.8 million declined 95.4
million pounds and $15.0 million compared with 1971. Landings of all species except chum
salmon declined sharply. Chum salmon landings of 54.5 million pounds were 5 percent
greater than in 1971 -the result of a record harvest in Puget Sound.

Alaska landings, which were among the smallest on record, were about 75 percent of the
total Pacific salmon production. Landings of silver salmon increased slightly compared with
1971, but all other species declined markedly. Alaska red salmon landings (41.1 million
pounds) were less than one-half the 1971 production and the third smallest harvest on
record. A poor run of the Bristol Bay red salmon resulted in a pack of only 201 ,700 cases in
that area-compared with 682,340 cases in 1971. Pink salmon landings (55.4 million
pounds) declined about 26 percent compared with 1971. Failure of the pink salmon runs at
Prince William Sound and in the Kodiak area resulted in a total Alaska pack of only 538,1 1 1
cases of pink salmon-compared with 1 ,074,547 cases in 1971.

The 1972 canned pack of Pacific salmon was 1.8 million cases-49 percent less than in 1971,
and one of the smallest packs on record.

REVIEW

Tuna. . . .Landings of tuna in the continental United States and Hawaii were 377.6 million
pounds worth a record $89.9 million-an increase of 29.5 million pounds and $14.4 million
compared with 1971. Record landings of yellowfin tuna and near-record landings of
albacore tuna contributed substantially to the greater harvest. Despite the increased
production of albacore, fishermen in the Pacific Northwest received a record price of $680
per ton for the fish. A worldwide shortage of albacore tuna was a contributing factor to the
favorable price.

Tuna landings at California ports increased slightly compared with 1971. Composition of
the landings was considerably different from the previous year. In 1971, landings of both
albacore and skipjack tuna were excellent. In 1972, however, landings of albacore and
skipjack declined sharply but landings of bluefin tuna (24.4 million pounds) increased 44
percent and yellowfin tuna (236.6 million) increased 47 percent compared with 1971.

The Inter- American Tropical Tuna Commission set a 1972 quota of 140,000 short tons (the
same as in 1971) for the yellowfin tuna fishery in the regulatory area of the eastern tropical
Pacific. The season opened January 1 and closed March 5, 1972. It was the seventh
consecutive year that this fishery operated under a quota system designed to maintain the
yellowfin population at the maximum sustainable harvest. As in 1971, fishermen reached
the assigned quota.

The 1972 pack of canned tuna was a record 31.1 million cases-about 8.8 million cases more
than in 1971, the former record year. Contributing to the record pack were landings made
by U.S. flag vessels in Puerto Rico and foreign ports, which are not included in U.S. landings
statistics or in imports of fresh and frozen tuna. In 1972, these landings, together with U.S.
landings, totaled 524.4 million pounds of tuna worth $120.6 million. Canned tuna available
for consumption in 1972 (U.S. pack from domestic landings plus U.S. pack from imported
fresh or frozen tuna plus imported canned) was 673.1 million pounds. About 34 percent of
the U.S. supply was packed from domestic landings-compared with 39 percent in 1971.

Crabs. . . .Landings of crabs, all species, were 281.1 million pounds worth $58.6 million-a gain
of 2 percent in quantity and 13 percent in value compared with 1971. The greater volume
resulted largely from a record harvest of snow crabs and small increases in landings of hard
blue crabs and king crabs. The gain in value was caused principally by general increases in
exvessel prices for hard blue crabs, king crabs, and snow crabs. A shortage of dungeness
crabs, combined with a brisk market for this popular shellfish, caused the average price per
pound to increase from 24 cents in 1971 to 44 cents in 1972.

Hard blue crab landings in the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake States were adversely
affected by hurricane Agnes, a tropical storm that devastated parts of the northeastern
coastal and inland areas in June 1972. The storm curtailed crab landings by causing loss of
gear and fishing effort, but by July and August the fishery had reached its normal
production. The 1972 year class of young crabs, however, may be small because the storm
came when the crabs were spawning thus affecting the 1972 hatch.

REVIEW

Menhaden. . . .Total landings of menhaden, the leading species used for industrial purposes,
were 1.9 billion pounds in 1972, a decrease of 251 million pounds compared to the previous
year. Landings of menhaden at Gulf ports were almost 500 million pounds less than the
record 1.6 billion pounds landed in 1971. Although landings at Gulf ports declined, landings
at Atlantic Coast ports increased by 248 million pounds in 1972.

Production of menhaden meal in 1972 (193,580 tons) decreased by 27,416 tons from the
previous year's production of 220,996 tons but accounted for 68 percent of the 1972 fish
meal production. Imports of fish meal of 392,000 tons were 38 percent greater than the
283,200 tons imported in 1971 and accounted for 58 percent of the total supply of
677,400 tons.

Production of menhaden oil totaled 167.0 million pounds in 1972, and accounted for 89
percent of the total production. This was 77.0 million pounds less than the record 244.0
million pounds produced in 1971. Menhaden products (meal, oil, and solubles) were valued
at $51.1 million to the processors in 1972.

Lobsters. . . .Landings of American (northern) lobsters were 29.3 million pounds worth a
record $36.1 million-a decline of 12 percent in volume but a gain of 3 percent in value
compared with 1971 . Landings in the New England and Middle Atlantic States declined, but
in the Chesapeake States, principally in Virginia, they increased moderately. All along the
Atlantic coast fishermen turned increasingly to the offshore lobster pot fishery. In
Massachusetts this fishery was based in the Cape Cod-Westport area. The spiny lobster
harvest was a record 1 1.2 million pounds worth a record $1 1.6 million-33 percent more in
quantity and 46 percent more in value than in 1971.

Clams. . . .Landings of 89.1 million pounds of clam meats worth a record $31.9 million
increased 8 percent in volume and 4 percent in value compared with 1971. The principal
reason for the greater volume was a near-record harvest of 63.4 million pounds of surf clam
meats worth a record $7.9 million-10.9 million pounds and $1.0 million more than in 1971.
Record landings of 23.4 million pounds of surf clams in Virginia were 419 percent greater
than in 1971 and contributed substantially to the increase. The commercial surf clam
fishery operated in Virginia for the fifth consecutive year. Many vessels from other States
began working out of Virginia ports because the clamming was in areas off the Virginia
coast. Some of the surf clams taken by these vessels were trucked out of Virginia for
processing. As landings increased, however, more processors began operating in Virginia.
New Jersey, formerly the leading State in surf clam landings, accounted for 21.3 million
pounds-a decline of 26 percent compared with 1971. Together New Jersey and Virginia
accounted for 70 percent of the total U.S. surf clam harvest.

Soft clam landings of 8.8 million pounds worth $5.2 million declined 3.1 million pounds
and $1.2 million compared with 1971. Maryland, long the leading State in soft clam
production, had landings of only 1.9 million pounds-the smallest since 1955. The Maryland
soft clam resource was severely depleted in June by an influx of fresh water and high water
temperatures, which followed hurricane Agnes. State officials closed the fishery until such
time as the resource had recovered from the effects of the hurricane. Landings of hard clam
meats were 16.3 million pounds worth $18.5 million-a decline of 5 percent in quantity but
an increase of 9 percent in value compared with 1 971 .

REVIEW

In 1972, the pack of clams and clam products reached a record 2.7 million cases worth
$26.0 million. Of this production, 2.1 million cases were chowder and juice-an increase of 2
percent compared with 1971. The pack of whole or minced clams declined from 634,500
cases in 1971 to 624,800 cases in 1972.

Oysters. . . .Landings of 52.5 million pounds of oyster meats worth a record $33.8 million
declined 2.0 million pounds but increased $3.4 million in value compared with 1971.
Landings increased slightly in the Middle Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Pacific Coast States,
but declined in the New England, Chesapeake, and Gulf States. Landings in the Chesapeake
States (22.1 million pounds) were 12 percent less than in 1971 and in the Gulf States (17.9
million pounds) they were 8 percent less. The Chesapeake and Gulf States landings
comprised 76 percent of the total U.S. oyster harvest.

Flounders. . . .Total U.S. landings of flounders were 168.8 million pounds valued at $28.8
million, an increase of 8 percent in quantity and 30 percent in value. Increased landings of
Pacific flounders in California and yellowtail flounders in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
were responsible for the increase in the total quantity landed. Landings in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, the leading yellowtail flounder producing States, increased owing to increased
catches made in Subarea 6 (Middle Atlantic area) of the Statistical Area of the International
Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF). Catches in Subarea 6 were not
subject to catch quotas by ICNAF. Catches in Subarea 5 (New England area) were subject to
an international quarterly quota, and the quota was reached in each quarter of the year. By
informal agreement, only U.S. fishermen were allowed to fish specifically for yellowtail
flounder in 1 972.

For 1973, the quotas on yellowtail flounders have been assigned on a national basis. The
total 1973 quota for the United States is 53.1 million pounds for Subareas 3 (Greenland
area), 4 (Nova Scotia area), and 5. Subarea 6 remains free of quota for yellowtail flounders.
American plaice has been placed under a quota in 1973, and the U.S. quota is 220.5
thousand pounds (Subarea 3). An ICNAF quota is also proposed for flounders, other than
yellowtail, in Subareas 5 and 6 for 1973; the U.S. share of this quota is 47.8 million pounds.

Groundfish. . . .The Atlantic and Pacific fishery for groundfish (Atlantic and Pacific cod, cusk,
haddock, white hake, pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) yielded 148.8 million pounds
valued at $18.1 million-down 6 percent in quantity but up 8 percent in value compared to
1971.

Landings of the leading groundfish species declined in 1972: Atlantic cod landings were
46.3 million pounds, down 12 percent compared to 1971; haddock landings were 11.7
million pounds, down 46 percent; and Atlantic ocean perch landings were 58.8 million
pounds, down 2 percent. Landings of the less important groundfish species increased:
Pacific cod landings were 10.4 million pounds, up 61 percent compared to 1971; pollock
landings were 1 2.8 million pounds, up 1 8 percent; and white hake landings were 6.6 million
pounds, up 16 percent. In 1972, haddock was the only Atlantic groundfish subject to a
catch quota by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF).
The total quota of 41.9 million pounds for Subarea 4 (Nova Scotia area) and Subarea 5

REVIEW

(New England area) was an international quota in which the United States and Canada, by
informal agreement, were the only countries allowed to fish specifically for haddock. The
ICNAF quota for haddock for 1973 is the same as that for 1972, and the informal
agreement, mentioned previously, remains in effect. For 1973, ICNAF quotas have been
proposed or are in effect for additional groundfish species. For the United States, these
quotas are as follows: cod, 66.2 million pounds (Subarea 5 and Subarea 6-Middle Atlantic
area); Atlantic ocean perch, 54.1 million pounds (Subareas 5 and 6); and pollock, 24.9
million pounds (Subareas 5 and 6).

The U.S. quotas for other species, proposed or in effect, in 1973 are as follows: American
plaice and other flounders (see "Flounders"); mackerel, 57.8 million pounds (Subareas 5
and 6); red hake, 33.1 million pounds (Subarea 5ZW-south of New England); sea herring,
55.1 million pounds (see "Herring, sea"); and whiting (silver hake), 113.5 million pounds
(Subarea 5).

Herring, sea. . . .Total landings of sea herring were 102.0 million pounds valued at $3.5 million
in 1972, up 17 percent in quantity and 85 percent in value compared to 1971. Landings of
both Atlantic and Pacific sea herring increased in quantity and value. Landings of Atlantic
sea herring comprised the bulk of total sea herring landings. The increase in value of Atlantic
sea herring landings was due to an increase in the use of sea herring for food purposes,
principally for canning and for frozen fillets for export to Europe. The use for reduction to
fish meal and oil was correspondingly less.

The U.S. catch of Atlantic sea herring beyond the 3-mile limit was subject to a quota of
55.1 million pounds in Subareas 5Y (Gulf of Maine) and 5Z (Georges Bank) under
regulations of the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF).
According to preliminary figures, U.S. fishermen caught about 90 percent of this quota. The
proposed 1973 ICNAF quota for the United States again will be 55.1 million pounds for
Subareas 5X and 5Z. The U.S. catch within 3 miles of shore, which is not subject to quota,
was 43.1 million pounds in 1972 compared to 28.5 million pounds in 1971. Inshore
landings consisted largely of 2-year-old fish used for canning sardines. Inshore landings
increased in 1972, primarily because of the abundance of 1970 year class fish, the largest
year class since the 1 966 year class.

Scallops. . . .Total scallop landings were 8.8 million pounds valued at $14.3 million-down 5
percent in quantity but up 1 8 percent in value. The decline was attributable to a drop in
landings of bay and calico scallops which more than offset a 12-percent increase in sea
scallop landings. Landings of sea scallops rose in Alaska, Maine, New Jersey, and Virginia,
but declined in Massachusetts, the principal producing State. At New Bedford, Mass., the
nation's leading scallop port, the average exvessel price in 1972 was $2.00 per pound
compared to $ 1 .48 per pound in 1971.

io REVIEW

Halibut. . . .Landings by the combined United States and Canadian halibut fleet were 41.5
million pounds (dressed weight )-ll percent less than in 1971. Landings were the smallest
since 1918 when the fishery yielded 38 million pounds. For the fifth consecutive year,
Canadian fishermen landed more halibut (52 percent of the production) than the United
States fishermen.

Alaska landings were about 86 percent of the total U.S. harvest-continuing the trend
toward increased landings in Alaska ports. In 1972, fishermen received record exvessel prices
for halibut-averaging about 65 cents per pound (dressed weight) compared with 32 cents
per pound in 1971.

PROCESSED FISHERY PRODUCTS

Canned fishery products. . . .The 1972 pack of canned fishery products in the United States,
American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was a record both in quantity and value at 56.5 million
standard cases (1.6 billion pounds) with a value of $989.3 million to the canning companies.
Compared with 1971, this was an increase of about 10.5 million cases (236.4 million
pounds) and $218.7 million. There were record packs of tuna, animal (pet) food, and clam
chowder and larger packs of Maine sardines, tunalike fishes, and shrimp. The canned packs
of salmon, mackerel, alewives, crab meat, and fish roe and caviar, however, were less than in
1971.

The pack for human consumption (916.4 million pounds) was 100.1 million pounds more
than in 1971, while the amount packed for bait and animal (pet) food increased 136.3
million pounds. Five items-salmon, tuna, shrimp, clam products, and animal (pet)
food-accounted for 93 percent of the total value of all canned fishery products. The pack
of animal (pet) food containing less than 10 pounds of fish per standard case was 3.6 million
standard cases valued at $22.4 million; these data are not included in statistics on the total
U.S. production of canned fishery products.

Salmon. Pacific salmon landings during 1972 of 216.7 million pounds valued at $62.8
million were down 95.4 million pounds and $15.0 million. The 1972 pack of canned salmon
of approximately 1.8 million cases was down about 1.7 million cases, or 49 percent, from
1971 and was among the lowest packs in this century. Major developments during the 1972
season were: The Bristol Bay red salmon pack was 201,700 cases, only 30 percent of the
1971 pack and the lowest since 1900. The Alaska pink salmon pack of only 538,1 1 1 cases
was 40 percent of the 1970 cycle year pack of 1,328,532 cases and the second smallest pack
this century. As a result of near-record low Alaska pink and red salmon packs, the producers
raised their wholesale prices for these items by about $7 and $10 per case, respectively.

REVIEW "

Tuna. The 1972 pack of tuna, 31.1 million standard cases (616.6 million pounds) valued
at $632.5 million, set new records both in quantity and value. The pack exceeded that in
1971 by 8.8 million standard cases and more than $219 million. Production in all regions
increased by significant amounts. The Pacific Coast led in production with 48 percent of the
total, followed by Puerto Rico with 37 percent; American Samoa, Hawaii, and Maryland
packed the remainder.

The United States imported a record 764.8 million pounds of tuna (round weight),
including foreign landings at American Samoa, in 1972 compared with 506.6 million pounds
in 1971. In 1972, U.S. packers produced 92 percent of the total supply of canned tuna.

Sardines. The 1972 pack of sardines (sea herring) totaled 1.6 million standard cases (36.6
million pounds) valued at $23.9 million. Compared with 1971, this was an increase of
612,000 cases and $13.0 million in value.

Shrimp. The 1972 pack of shrimp was 3.5 million standard cases, 215,000 more than the
pack in 1971 but 197,000 less than the record pack in 1970. The value of the pack ($41.8
million) exceeded the previous year's value by $8.2 million. Canned production in Louisiana
and Mississippi was 2.2 million standard cases, while Washington, Oregon, and Alaska
produced 1 .3 million cases.

Clams. The pack of clams and clam products was a record volume for 1972. Over 2.7
million standard cases valued at $26.0 million were produced. The pack of whole and
minced clams (624,776 standard cases valued at $8.4 million) was 9,675 cases and $1.4
million less than 1971. However, the production of chowder and juice (2.1 million cases)
was 36,251 cases and $1.1 million greater than in 1971.

Industrial fishery products. . . .The 1972 production of industrial fishery products in the
United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was $156.2 million-an increase of $49.7
million compared with 1971. Most of this increase was attributable to a sharp increase in the
value of miscellaneous industrial fishery products. In terms of value, the leading producing
State was California ($78 million), followed by Louisiana ($26 million) and Virginia ($16
million).

Marine animal scrap and meal. The 1972 production of 285,486 tons declined more than
7,000 tons compared with the 1971 production of 292,812 tons, but was still the second
highest recorded since 1962. Menhaden meal (193,580 tons) accounted for 68 percent of
the total meal production. Landings of menhaden used for reduction at Gulf ports were
almost 500 million pounds less than the record 1.6 billion pounds landed in 1971. Although
landings at Gulf ports declined, landings at Atlantic Coast ports increased by 220.3 million
pounds in 1972.

Imports of fish meal in 1972 were 392,000 tons, 38 percent greater than the 283,200 tons
imported in 1971, and accounted for 58 percent of the total supply.

12 REVIEW

The total supply of fish meal (imports plus domestic production) for use in this country in
1972 was 677,400 tons.

Marine animal oil. The domestic production of marine animal oils was 188.4 million
pounds, 77.0 million pounds less than the 265.4 million pounds produced in 1971.
Menhaden oil totaled 167.0 million pounds in 1972 and accounted for 89 percent of total
production. U.S. exports of domestic fish oils were 193.2 million pounds in 1972-down
36.7 million pounds from 1971.

Fish solubles. The 1972 production of fish solubles was 134,404 tons, 21 percent above
the 1971 production of 111,188 tons. Menhaden solubles comprised 104,086 tons of the
total in 1972.

Other industrial products. Oyster shell products were valued at $4.2 million in 1972
compared with $4.1 million in 1971. Other industrial items produced in 1972 included
agar-agar, animal feeds, crab and clam shells processed for serving food, fish feed pellets,
Irish moss extracts, kelp products, leather products, liquid fertilizer, mussel shell novelties,
and pearl essence. These items were valued at $84.6 million in 1972 compared with $32.0
million in 1971 -an increase of $52.6 million. A marked increase in the value of kelp
products was responsible for most of this increase in the total value of miscellaneous
industrial products.

Fish fillets and steaks. . . .In 1972, the production of uncooked fresh or frozen fillets and
steaks, exclusive of Hawaii and Alaska, was 122.5 million pounds valued at $88.2 million to
the processors. Compared with 1971, this was a decrease of 5.9 million pounds but an
increase of $12.8 million. Total production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, cusk,
haddock, hake, pollock, and Atlantic ocean perch) was 35.7 million pounds in 1972
compared with 43.8 million pounds in 1971. An estimated 331.0 million pounds of whole
fish were required for the U.S. production of fish fillets and steaks.

Fish sticks and portions. . . .The 1972 production was a record 383.0 million pounds-an
increase of 45.0 million pounds compared with 1971, and 32.8 million pounds more than
the previous record of 350.2 million pounds in 1970. The value surpassed the $200 million
level, reaching a record $207.9 million in 1972. Although fish stick production (114.3
million pounds) was slightly less than the record 115.9 million produced in 1970, the
production of fish portions set a new record of 268.7 million pounds, 28.5 million pounds
more than the 1971 production of 240.2 million pounds.

Breaded shrimp. . . .The 1972 production of breaded shrimp reached a record 106.4 million
pounds with a record value of $139.7 million-an increase of 1.8 million pounds and $18.5
million compared with 1971.

REVIEW

13

Frozen fishery trade. . . .Freezings of fish and shellfish during 1972 totaled 369 million
pounds-an increase of 7 million pounds compared to 1971. It is estimated that a catch of
571 million pounds (live weight) offish and shellfish was required for the 1972 freezings.

Holdings of frozen fish and shellfish reached a record of 419 million pounds on October 3 1 ,
1972. Record holdings during the year were recorded for blocks and slabs (104 million
pounds on September 30), cod fillets (18 million pounds on October 31), fish sticks and
portions (34 million pounds on December 31), lobsters (10 million pounds on October 31),
and shrimp (98 million pounds on November 30).

In cooperation with the Department of Agriculture's Statistical Reporting Service, the
National Marine Fisheries Service surveyed cold storage firms handling fishery products. In
September 1972, as a result of that survey, the number of firms reporting freezings and
holdings to the National Marine Fisheries Service increased from 285 to 340.

FOREIGN TRADE IN FISHERY PRODUCTS

Foreign trade in fishery products. . . .Total U.S. imports of edible and nonedible fishery
products were valued at a record $1,494 million in 1972, a gain of $420 million or 39
percent over 1971. The value of edible imports increased to a record $1,233 million in 1972
as compared with the previous record of $887 million in 1971, a gain of 39 percent. The
quantity of imported edible products increased to 2,341 million pounds-up 31 percent
from 1971. The value of nonedible imports rose from $187.1 million in 1971 to $261.1
million in 1972, an increase of 40 percent. New records were set in 1972 for imports of
fresh and frozen fillets (other than groundfish), blocks and slabs, fresh and frozen tuna,
scallops, and shrimp products. Imports in 1972 increased for fillets or steaks of a number of
species including flatfish (flounders), groundfish, and halibut. There were also increases in
canned sardines (in oil and not in oil), bonito and yellowtail (in oil and not in oil), and
canned oysters. Imports declined, however, for fresh and frozen halibut (other than halibut
fillets or steaks), canned lobster, and canned crab meat. Imports of fish meal and fish
solubles were up in 1972 as compared with 1971 , but imports of sperm whale oil were down
sharply owing to the almost complete U.S. embargo on imports of whale products.

Total domestic exports were valued at a record $157.9 million in 1972-up 13 percent over
1971. Exports of edible products were 171.6 million pounds valued at $134.2 million in
1972-down less than 1 percent in quantity but up 18 percent in value over 1971. Exports
of nonedible products were valued at $23.7 million, a decrease of 7 percent.

Compared with 1971, exports of edible domestic products declined largely because of
decreased exports of fresh and frozen shrimp and various species of fresh and frozen fish.
Exports of nonedible products decreased largely because of decreased exports of fish and
marine oil and whale and sperm oil.

RETAIL PRICES

Estimated retail prices of fishery products are collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U. S. Department of Labor for use in the food component of the Consumer Price Index.

The Consumer Price Index(CPI) is based on prices from a sample of 39 standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas and 17 small cities collected to represent all urban areas of the United States,
ranging in size from cities with a population of 2, 500 to New York City. Agents collect monthly
food prices from chain and independent retail food stores that voluntarily report their selling prices.
Prices are those in effect on the day of the agent's visit and include any sale or weekend special
prices which are offered on that day. The Bureau's agents use a description defining the quality
or grade and size range for each food for which prices are collected. All prices are converted to
a standard unit and population weights are employed in obtaining U.S. average prices for all areas
combined.

PER CAPITA UTILIZATION

Per capita utilization of all commercially caught fish and shellfish is based on the total
supply of fishery products, both edible and industrial, (see p. 50) on a round-weight equivalent
basis, without taking into consideration beginning or ending stocks, exports, defense purchases,
or shipments to U.S. territories.

Per capita utilization figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data (see pp.
71-73). Per capita consumption figures are derived from using an edible (for human use) meat-
weight basis rather than round weight. In addition, the determination of consumption includes al-
lowances for beginning and ending stocks, exports, defense purchases, and shipments to U .S .
territories, whereas the determination of utilization does not include such allowances.

Per capita utilization is derived by using total population including armed forces overseas
and per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population as of July 1 each year.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

71

Per capita consumption of fishery products in 1972 reached 12.2 pounds, edible meat,
tying the record set in 19 27. The 197 2 per capita consumption was 0.8 pound more than in 1971.
This increase was due to increased consumption of fresh and frozen products and canned products,
especially tuna. Additional supplies were made available through a 24 percent increase in imports
of fresh and frozen fillets, steaks, and blocks and a 40 percent increase in the U.S. production of
canned tuna .

94 GLOSSARY

For the data in this publication to be used effectively, the reader must have a clear under-
standing of the terms associated with the data. Following are definitions of those terms we feel
could have different interpretations by our readers .

Boat, motor: A motor-driven commercial fishing craft having a capacity of less than 5 net tons.

Boat, other: Commercial fishing craft not powered by a motor, e.g. , row or sailboat, having a
capacity of less than 5 net tons.

Breaded shrimp: Peeled shrimp coated with breading . The product maybe identified as fantail
(butterfly) and round, with or without tail fins and last shell segment; and 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 .

Breading: A finely ground mixture containing cereal products, flavorings, and other ingredients , that
is applied to a product that has been moistened,, usually with batter.

Butterfly fillets: The two skin-on sides of the fish corresponding to two single fillets held together
by the uncut flesh and skin of the belly.

Canned fishery products: Fish, shellfish, or other aguatic animals packed singly or in combination
with other items in hermetically sealed,heat sterilized cans, jars, or other suitable containers.
Most, but not all, canned fishery products can be stored at room temperature for an indefinite
period of time without spoiling.

Catch, marine sport fish: Quantities of fish caught, but not necessarily brought ashore, by rec-
reational marine anglers .

Commercial fisherman: An individual who derives income from catching and selling living resources
taken from fresh- or salt-water bodies .

Consumption (of edible fishery products): Estimated amount of commercially landed fish, shellfish,
and other aguatic 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; U.S. production of fishery products from both domestically-caught and
imported fish, shellfish and other edible aguatic plants and animals; imports; exports; purchases
by the U.S. armed forces; and shipments to U.S. territories.

Cured fishery products: Products preserved by drying, pickling, salting, and smoking. Does 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 pick-
ling (immersing in brine); smoked products are cured with smoke or a combination of smoking and
drying or salting.

Exvessel price: Price received by a fisherman for fish, shellfish and other aguatic plants and an-
imals landed at the dock.

Fish block: Boneless or virtually boneless fish flesh frozen into blocks weighing over 10 pounds
and suitable for the production of fish sticks and portions .

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 specified as
"boneless fillets ."

GLOSSARY 95

Fishing craft , commercial: Boats and vessels engaged in capturing fish, shellfish, and other a-
quatic plants and animals for sale.

Fish meal: A ground, dried product made from fish or shellfish or parts thereof, generally produced
by cooking raw fish or shellfish with steam and pressing the material to obtain the solids which
are then dried.

Fish oil: An oil processed from the body (body oil) or liver (liver oil) of fish. Most fish oils are
a byproduct of the production of fish meal.

Fish portion: A piece of fish flesh generally of uniform size with thickness of 3/8 of an inch or
more and which does not conform to the definition of a fish stick. A fish portion is generally cut
from a fish block .

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

Fish steak: Cross-section slices cut from large dressed fish. Steaks are usually about 3/4 of an
inch thick .

Fish stick: An elongated piece of breaded fish flesh weighing not less than 3/4 of an ounce and
not more than 1-1/2 ounces withthe largest dimension at least three times that of the next largest
dimension. A fish stick is generally cut from a block of fillets.

Full-time commercial fisherman: An individual who spends 50 percent or more of his working year
in commercial fishing activities, including port activity such as vessel repair, re-rigging, etc.

Groundfish: Broadly, fish that are caught on or near the sea floor. The term includes a wide va-
riety of bottom fishes, rock fishes and flat fishes. However, the National Marine Fisheries Ser-
vice generally uses the term in a narrower sense. In this "Fisheries of the United States," the
term applies to the following species: cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock and Atlantic ocean
perch .

Industrial fishery products: Products manufactured from fish, shellfish or other aquatic plants and
animals which are not consumed directly by humans, such as fish meal, fish oils, condensed
fish solubles, pearl essence, shark and other aquatic animal skins, certain products from sea
weeds , and shells .

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

Packaged fish: A term used to designate U.S. production of fresh or frozen, raw fish fillets and
steaks prior to 197 2 publications.

Part-time commercial fisherman: An individual who spends less than 50 percent of his working year
in commercial fishing activities.

Per capita consumption: Consumption of edible fishery products in the United States, divided by
the total civilian population. In calculating annual per capita consumption, estimates of the
civilian resident population of the United States on July 1 of each year are used. These estimates
are taken from Current Population Reports Series P-25, published by the U.S. Bureau of the
Census .

96

GLOSSARY

Per capita utilization: The utilization of all fishery products both edible and non-edible in the
United States, divided by the total population of the United States.

Processed fishery products: Fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants and animals, and products
thereof, preserved by canning, freezing, cooking, dehydrating, drying, fermenting, pasteuriz-
ing, adding salt or other chemical substances, and other commercial processes . Also, changing
the form of fish, shellfish or other aquatic plants and animals from their original state into a form
in which they are not readily identifiable, such as fillets, steaks, or shrimp logs.

Retail (fish) price: The price of fish, shellfish and other aquatic plants or animals, and products
thereof, sold to the final consumer. Prices charged by food and speciality stores.

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.

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

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.
