PREFACE

FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 1993

This publication is a preliminary report for 1993
on commercial and recreational fisheries of the United
States with catches in both the U.S. and foreign
Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). This annual report
provides timely answers to fi-equently asked questions.

SOURCES OF DATA

Information in this report came from many
sources. Field offices of the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), in cooperation with various States,
collected and compiled data on U.S. commercial
landings and processed fishery products. The NMFS
Fisheries Statistics Division in Silver Spring, MD, managed
the collection and compilation of recreational statistics,
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, and U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAQ)
of the United Nations.

DEFINITIONS - (See Glossary)

As in past issues of this publication, the units of
quantity and value are defined as follows: U.S.
landings are shown in round weight (except mollusks
which are in meat weight), unless otherwise noted;
quantities shown for U.S. imports and exports are in
product weight, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of the
Census, unless otherwise noted; the value of the U.S.
domestic commercial catch is exvessel (in the Review
Section on important species actual and deflated
exvessel prices are shown. The deflated value was
computed using the Gross Domestic Products Implicit
Price Deflator); 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. Countries and territories shown in the U.S.
foreign trade section are established for statistical
purposes in the Tariff Schedules of the United States
Annotated (Tariff Commission) and reported by the U.S.
Bureau of the Census.

SUGGESTIONS

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA

Data on U.S. commercial and recreational
landings, employment, prices, and production of
processed products are preliminary for 1 993. Final data
will be published in other NIVIFS Current Fishery Statistics
publications.

REVIEW

U.S. LANDINGS. Commercial landings (edible and
industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50
states were a record 10.5 billion pounds or 4,7
million metric tons valued at $3.5 billion in 1993-
an increase of 829.6 million pounds (up 9 percent)
but a decrease of $206.5 million (down 6 percent)
compared with 1992. The 1993 landings showed
an increase in major species such as Pacific
hake, Alaska pollock, salmon, clams, and squid
when compared with 1992. The 1993 average
exvessel price per pound paid to fishermen was
33 cents compared to the 38 cents they received
in 1 992 Finfish accounted for 86 percent of total
landings, but only 54 percent of the total value.

Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at
ports outside the 50 states or transferred to
internal water processing vessels (IWPs) were an
additional 476.8 million pounds (216,000 metric
tons) valued at $195.4 million. This was a 20
percent, or 120.9 million pounds (54,800 metric
ton) decrease in quantity and a $10.2 million (5
percent) decrease in value compared with 1992.
Most of these landings consisted of tuna landed
at canneries in Puerto Rico, American Samoa and
other foreign ports and IWP transfers of sea
herring, and menhaden.

Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50
states were 8.2 billion pounds (3.7 million metric
tons) in 1993-an increase of 596 million pounds
(270,300 metric tons) compared with 1992.

Landings for reduction and other industrial
purposes were 2.3 billion pounds (1.0 million
metric tons) in 1993--an increase of 12 percent
compared with 1992.

The 1993 U.S. marine recreational finfish
catch (including fish caught and released alive)
on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts was an
estimated 293.0 million fish taken on an estimated
53.4 million fishing trips. The harvest (fish kept)
was estimated at 146.0 million fish weighing 194.6
million pounds.

WORLD LANDINGS. In 1992, the most recent year
for which data ore available, world commercial

fishery landings were 98.1 million metric tons--an
increase of 1 . 1 million metric tons (up 1 percent)
compared with 1991.

China was the leading nation with 15
percent of the total catch; Japan, second with 9
percent; Peru, third with 7.0 percent; Chile, fourth
with 6.6 percent; Russia, fifth with 5.7; and United
States, sixth with 5.7 percent.

PRICES. Exvessel price indices declined for 14 of
the 32 species groups being tracked, and
increased or remained constant for the remaining
18 species groups. The sockeye salmon price
index had the largest decrease (417 percent)
while the bluefin tuna price index hod the largest
increase (617 percent). The 1993 annual exvessel
price index for edible fish and shellfish decreased
5 percent from 1992. The annual index for
industrial fish remained the some.

PROCESSED PRODUCTS. The estimated value of
the 1993 domestic production of edible and
nonedible fishery products was $8.4 billion, $192.8
million (2 percent) less than the $8.6 billion in 1992.
The value of edible products was $8.0 billion--a
decrease of $224. 1 million (3 percent) compared
with 1992. The value of industrial products was
$481 .6 million in 1993-an increase of $31.3 million
(7 percent) compared with 1992.

FOREIGN TRADE. The total import value of edible
and nonedible fishery products was $10.6 billion in
1993-an increase of $751.1 million (8 percent)
compared with 1992. Imports of edible fishery
products (product weight) were 2.9 billion pounds
(1.3 million metric tons) valued at $5.8 billion in
1993-an increase of only 23,200 pounds (less than
1 percent), and $142.9 million (3 percent)
compared with 1992. Imports of nonedible (i.e.,
industrial) products were $4.8 billion-on increase
of $608.3 million (15 percent) compared with
1992.

Total export value of edible and nonedible
fishery products of domestic origin was $6.9 billion
in 1993-0 decrease of $194.4 million (3 percent)
compared with 1 992. United States firms exported

REVIEW

2.0 billion pounds (900,800 metric tons) of edible
products valued at $3.1 billion--a decrease of
101.6 million pounds (46,100 metric tons) and
$388.9 million compared with 1992. Exports of
nonedible products were valued at a record $3.8
billion, $194.5 million more than 1992.

SUPPLY. The U.S. supply of edible fishery products
(domestic landings plus imports, round weight
equivalent) was a record 13.8 billion pounds (6.3
million metric tons) in 1993-an increase of 579.0
million pounds (4 percent) compared with 1992.
The change reflects an increase of 9 percent in
domestic commercial landings. The supply of
industrial fishery products was 6.5 billion pounds
(3.0 million metric tons) in 1993--an increase of 3.6
billion pounds (124 percent) compared with 1992.
The change reflects an increase of 3.4 billion
pounds (404 percent) in imports.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION U.S consumption of
fishery products was 15.0 pounds of edible meat
per person in 1993, up 0.2 pound from the 1992
per capita consumption of 14.8 pounds.

CONSUMER EXPENDITURES. U.S. consumers spent
an estimated $38.1 billion for fishery products in
1993. The 1993 total includes $25.7 billion in
expenditures at food service establishments
(restaurants, carry-outs, caterers, etc.); $12.0
billion in retail sales for home consumption; and
$442.2 million for industrial fish products. By
producing and marketing a variety of fishery
products for domestic and foreign markets, the
commercial marine fishing industry contributed
$19.8 billion (in value added) to the U.S. Gross
Notional Product.

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION

The NMFS calculation of per capita
consump-tion is based on a "disappearance"
model. The total U.S. supply of imports and
landings is converted to edible weight and
decreases in supply such as exports and
inventories are subtracted out. The remaining
total is divided by a population value to estimate
per capita consumption. Data for the model are
derived primarily from secondary 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 15.0 pounds (edible meat) in 1993.
This total was 0.2 pounds more than the 14.8
pounds consumed in 1992. Per capita

consumption of fresh and frozen products
was 10.2 pounds, an increase of 0.3 pounds

from 1992. Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for
6.3 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish
consumption was 3,9 pounds per capita. The
fresh and frozen finfish includes approximately 0.9
pounds of farm raised catfish. Consumption of
canned fishery products was 4.5 pounds per
capita in 1993. a decrease of 0,1 pounds from
1992.

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 purchases, or exports. The per
capita use of all edible and industrial fishery
products in 1993 was 77.9 pounds, up 14.9 pounds
compared with 1992.

NOTE:--Table may not add due to rounding. Clams, oysters and mussels are reported as meat
weights (excludes shell) while other identified species such as shrimp are reported as whole

(live) weights. Some clam and oyster aquaculture production are reported with U.S. commercial
landings. Only pen-reared salmon aquaculture production is reported. Weights and values
usually represent final sales of products to processors and dealers. Shrimp (freshwater) are
primarily Macrobrachium rosenbergii and shrimp (saltwater) are primarily t>acific white shrimp

(Penaeus vannamei) . Miscellaneous includes ornamental fish, alligators, algae, aquatic plants,
hybrid striped bass, tilapia, and others.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

DATA COLLECTION. While data on commercial fisheries
have been collected for many years, detailed
statistical information on marine recreational fishing is
also required to support a variety of fishery
management and development purposes. These
include the objectives of the Magnuson Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, Public Law 94-
265, as amended. Hovy/ever, prior to 1979, the lack of
a continuous and systematic collection of marine
recreational fishery data prevented the
accomplishment of these goals. Therefore, NMFS
began a nev*/ comprehensive IVlarine Recreational
Fishery Statistical Survey (IVIRFSS) in 1979. Data
collected through the MRFSS show that recreational
fisheries can have a tremendous impact on fish stocks.
For several important management species
recreational landings surpass commercial landings.
Surveys have been conducted in the following areas
and years;

DATA TABLES. The total number of fish caught is
presented for twenty commonly caught species groups
on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Total number
caught includes those fish which were brought ashore
in whole form and were available for identification,
weighing, and measuring as well as those fish which
were not available for identification. This latter
category includes those fish which were used for bait,
discarded, filleted or released alive. Each species
group may contain one or more species, genera, or
families.

Total catch is distributed by subregion, fishing
area and mode. The fishing areas are; ocean 3 miles
or less from land, ocean more than 3 miles from land,
and inland (sounds, rivers, bays). However, ocean
data for the Gulf coast of Florida are reported as 10
miles or less from land and more than 10 miles from
land.

Atlantic and Gulf, 1979 through 1993;
Pacific, mid-1979 through 1989, 1993;
Western Pacific, 1979 through 1981;
Caribbean, 1979, 1981.

Preliminary estimates of catch and trips from the MRFSS
for the Atlantic/Gulf and Pacific coasts for 1993 are
presented in the following tables. Summary graphs for
1 983-1 993 (Atlantic/Gult) and 1 981 -1 993 (Pacific) catch
and trips are also shown. The survey is JDeing
conducted in 1994 along the coast of the entire
continental United States except the states of
Washington and Texas.

The MRFSS data collection consists of an
intercept survey of anglers in the field and an
independent telephone survey of coastal county
households. These Independent components, along
with census Information, are combined to produce
estimates of recreational catch, fishing effort, and
participation. Estimates are generated by subregion,
state, species, mode and area of fishing. In addition.
Information on catch rates and measurements of fish
lengths and weights are obtained.

The MRFSS Is only one of several NMFS
programs which collect data on recreational fisheries.
Specialized surveys which target Important
management species are also conducted. A major
effort to collect economic data on recreational
fisheries in the Northeast region Is planned for 1994.

The fishing modes are; shore (man-made
structures and beach/bank from previous surveys),
party /charter boat, and private/rental boat. In 1993
part/boats were not sampled by the MRFSS in the
South Atlantic and Gulf subregions; therefore estimated
catches are given for charterboats only for these
subregions.

Trip estimates and participation estimates are
presented for coastal residents (generally residing vAMr\
25 miles of tine coast), non-coastal residents, and non-
residents fishing outside of their home state. Estimated
number of trips are also shown by fishing mode.

The 1993 survey did not include the states of
Texas or Washington. Sampling was not conducted
during January/February In ttie Atiantic coast states
north of Florida, or In November/December in states
north of Massachusetts. More detailed Information will
be available In a separate MRFSS report to be
published later.

PRELIMINARY 1993 MRFSS DATA. The U.S. marine
recreational flnflsh catch In 1993 (excluding Alaska,
Hawaii, Washington, Texas, and Pacific coast salmon)
was an estimated 293.0 million fish. Approximately one-
half of these fish were released alive. The total marine
recreational flnfish harvest (excluding fish released
alive) was an estimated 146.0 million fish weighing an
estimated 194.6 million pounds. These fish were taken
on an estimated 53.4 million fishing ti-ips, Seventy-eight
percent of Vnese tilps were taken by residents of tiie
state tine fishing trip was made from.

U.S. MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

25

The Atlantic and Gulf coasts accounted for over 90
percent of Vr\e total U.S. marine recreational finfish
catch by number and for 88 percent of the fishing trips.

The private/rental boat mode accounted for
57 percent of the total U.S. marine recreational finfish
catch by number while shore and party /charter modes
made up 29 and 1 4 percent, respectively.

Atlantic and Gulf. Commonly caught species in 1993
were herrings (primarily used for bait), spotted seatrout,
summer flounder, Atlantic croaker, spot, plnfish, and
black sea bass. Top-ranked non-bait species by
subregion were scup In the North Atlantic, summer
flounder in the Mid-Atlantic, spot In the South Atlantic,
and spotted seatrout in ttie Gulf of Mexico. By
subregion the Gulf of Mexico accounted for the
highest numbers of fish caught (51%) followed by the
Mid-Atlantic (27%).

Approximately one-third of Ihe recreational
fishing trips were made in the Gulf of Mexico and
another one-third in the Soutt^ Atlantic. The Mld-
Atlanflc and North Atlantic combined made up the
final one-ti^ird of the total trips taken. Fifty-six percent
of all Atlantic and Gulf trips were made from boat
modes while 44 percent were shore based trips.

The most commonly caught non-bait species
in 1993 by mode were spot from shore mode, red
snapper from charterboat mode (South Atiantic and
Gulf only), black sea bass from party/charterboat
mode (North and Mid- Atlantic subregions only), and
spotted seafrout from private/rental boat mode.
Private/rental boat trips accounted for 58 percent of all
fish caught recreatlonally on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts.

Seventeen percent of the total marine
recreational catch on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
came from the EEZ. The most commonly caught
species in federally marxaged waters were red
snapper, black sea bass, Atiantic cod, and bluefish.

Pacific. Commonly caught species in 1993 were
Pacific mackerel, kelp bass, white croaker, blue
rockfish, and surf smelt. Top-ranked species by
subregion were Pacific mackerel in Souti^em California,
surf smelt in Northern California, and black rockfish in
Oregon. By subregion Southern California accounted
for the highest numbers of fish caught (63%) followed
by Northern California (33%) and Oregon (4%).

Sixty-three percent of the Pacific coast
recreational fishing frips (excluding Washington and
salmon frips) were made in Southern California. Nearly
two-ti^irds of all Pacific coast frips were taken from boat
modes while 35 percent were from the shore.

The top ranked species In 1993 by mode were
surf smelt from ti-ie shore mode, kelp bass from ttie
party/charterboat mode, and Pacific mackerel from
ti^e private/rental boat mode. Private/rental boat frips
accounted for 51 percent of all fish caught
recreationally on the Pacific coast.

Eighteen percent of the total marine
recreational catch on ti^e Pacific coast came from the
EEZ. The most commonly caught Pacific coast species
in federally managed waters for 1993 were Pacific
mackerel, kelp bass, and barred sand bass. Two-tt^lrds
of Ihe Pacific coast marine recreational catch came
from the ocean within ttiree miles from shore (state
waters).

Note: — Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 176 countries or areas. 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 i
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,
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 simi
animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.

PER CAPITA

U.S. USE

79

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

Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data. Per capita
consumption figures represent edible (for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round
weight consumption. In addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and
ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does not include such allowances.

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

PRICES

The Exvessel Price table is an index of cinanges
in the relative dockside value of fish and shellfish sold
by fishing vessels. 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 v»/as obtained
by dividing total value for each species or group by its
total quantity as reported in the distance from shore
tables on pages 6-9. The index for each species or
group Vi^as 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 v^^hen 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 1993, if the price of the
same species increased to $1.07, ttie irvdex in 1993
would be 107.

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION
AND MANAGEMENT ACT

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MFCMA), Public Law 94-265 as
amended (Magnuson Act), provides for the conservation
and management of all 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).

GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY AGREEMENTS

Under the Magnuson Act, the Secretary of State,
in cooperation with the Secretary of Commerce
negotiates Governing International Fishery Agreements
(GIFAs) with foreign nations wishing to fish within the EEZ.
After a GIFA is signed, it is transmitted by the President to
the Congress for ratification.

FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS

Applicant foreign fishing nations having a GIFA
with the United States may submit individual vessel
applications to the Department of State requesting
permits to fish in the EEZ for any surplus fishery resources
managed under the Magnuson Act. In conjunction with
an applicant foreign fishing nation's embassy submitting
an application to the State Department, officials of an
applicant nation must also accept certain general terms
and conditions established by the Secretary of
Commerce and so notify the Secretary of State,
designate a general agent to be responsible for legal
process involving any of its vessels fishing subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, and designate a representative to be
responsible for reviewing and submitting reports and
other information concerning fishing by rts vessels. The
State Department provides copies of applications to the
appropriate Regional Fishery Management CounciKs),
U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Fisheries Service
so these entities may review and make
recommendations on the applications. A Summary of all
applications received is also published in the Federal
Register for public review. After an applicant nation has
met all the above requirements and been offered and
accepted an allocation of surplus fishery resources by
the State Department, the National Marine Fisheries

Service issues individual vessel permits, as appropriate.
These permits are then formally transmitted to the
appropriate foreign authorities by the Depart^ment of
State.

A similar process is employed to handle
applications by applicant foreign fishing nations
requesting permits for joint ventures, wherein U.S.
fishermen catch and sell to foreign fishermen via vessel-
to-vessel transfer at sea certain species for which U.S.
demand is low relative to the abundance of the species.

FOREIGN FISHING ALLOCATIONS

The total allowable level of foreign fishing
(TALFF), if any, for a fishery subject to U.S. exclusive
fishery management authority is that portion of the
optimum yield (OY) of such fishery that will not be
harvested by U.S. vessels. Each assessment of OY and
each assessment of the anticipated U.S. harvest is
reviewed during the fishing season. Adjustments of TALFF
are based on updated information relating to the status
of stocks, estimated and actual performance of
domestic and foreign fleets, and other relevant factors.

FOREIGN FISHING FEES

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

Foreign nations requesting authorization for their
vessels to operate in the EEZ remit an initial application
fee of 3354.00 for each vessel for which a permit is
requested. This amount is based on the administrative
costs of processing applications and issuing permits.

For those vessels that directly harvest species in
accordance with their allocation of TALFF, poundage
fee bills based on the quantities and species of fish
harvested by such vessels are issued on a quarteriy basis
against financial guarantees established by the
respective foreign fishing nations. In the case of joint
ventures, no such fees are charged for the U.S.
harvested fish received by foreign vessels. Instead, a
price per ton the target species is agreed upon by the
joint venture partners prior to the start of fishing
operations, with payments to U .S. fishermen usually being
made as draws on financial guarantees established by
the foreign joint venture part-ner.

All foreign vessels fishing subject to U.S.
jurisdiction must have U.S. observers aboard to ensure
compliance with U.S. regulations governing foreign

THE MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION
AND MANAGEMENT ACT

91

fishing. Observer fees, which cover all U.S. costs of
placing observers aboard foreign vessels, are computed
on the basis of actual observer trips, and either paid in
advance or via draws made on financial guarantees
established by the respective foreign fishing nations.

A foreign fee surcharge moy be imposed on
permit and poundage fees to capitalize a fund to
compensate U.S. fishermen whose vessels and/or gear
are darrxaged or lost due to conflicts with foreign vessels
in the EEZ. Since the fund is currently fully capitalized,
the surcharge has been waived until further notice.

FMPs and PMPs

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

The Secretary of Commerce is empowered to
prepare plans 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 for which a Council has
not duly produced an FMP. In this latter case, the
Secretary's FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing.

As of December 31, 1993, five PMPs were in
effect, many of which have been amended since first
being implemented.

Bering Sea Snails

The Atlantic shari<s, swordfish and billfish fisheries are
currently being rrxanaged by the Secretary under the
Magnuson Act and the Western Atlantic bluefin tuna
fishery is managed under the Atlantic Tunas Convention
Act.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (FMPt)

Under section 304 of the Magnuson Act, all
Council-prepared FMPs must be reviewed by the
Secretary of Commerce. After FMPs have been
approved under section 304 of the Magnuson Act, they
are implemented by federal regulations under section
305 of the Act. As of December 31 , 1993, there are 34
fishery rrxanagement plans in place. The FMPs are listed
below. Many FMPs are amended by the Council and
submitted for approval under the same Secretarial
review process as new FMPs. Most of the FMPs listed
have been amended since inrtial implementation . Those
marked with a double asterisk (") were amended in
1993.

MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSERVATION AND
MANAGEMENT ACT, Public Law 94-265, as amended.
The iVlagnuson 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 ttie 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 PiVlPs and FiVIPs. Within the
U.S. EEZ, the United States has exclusive management
authority over fish (meaning finfish, moilusks,
crustaceans, and all other forms of marine animal and
plant life other than marine mammals, birds, and highly
migratoryspeciesof tuna). The Magnuson Act provides
further exclusive management authority beyond the
U.S. EEZ for all continental shelf fishery resources and all
anadromous species throughout the migratory range of
each such species, except during the time they are
found within any foreign nation's territorial sea or fishery

conservation zone (or the equivalent), to the extent
that such a sea or zone is recognized by the United
States.

MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing for pleasure,
amusement, relaxation, or home consumption.

MARINE RECREATIONAL CATCH. Quantities of finfish,
shellfish and other living aquatic organisms caught, but

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 fi-om 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 determi-
nation of MSY, which should be an estimate based
upon the best scientific information available, is a
biological measure necessary in the development of
optimum yield.

METRIC TONS. A measure of weight equal to 1 ,000
kilograms, 0.984 long tons, 1 .1023 short tons, or 2,204.6
pounds.

MOTORBOAT. A motor-driven commercial fishing craft

This convention, which 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
between 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 particular reference

GLOSSARY

119

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 1 972 to designate fresh or frozen raw fish fillets
and steaks.

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

PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION. Consumption of edible
fishery 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 tai<en 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, iDoth
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 Agreement (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 ard 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. Mirvred fish meat (usually Alaska pollock)
which has been washed to remove fat and undesirable
matters (such as blood, pigments, and odorous
substances), and mixed with cryoprotectants, such as
sugar and/or sorbitol, for a good frozen shelf life.

TOTAL ALLOWABLE LEVEL OF FOREIGN FISHING qALFF).

The TALFF, if any, with respect to any 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 harvested by vessels of
the United States, as determined by provisions of the
MFCMA.

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

U.S.-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS. Includes landings by all
U.S. fishing vessels regardless of v\/here landed as
opposed to landings at ports in the 50 United States.
These include landings at foreign ports, U.S. territories,

NATIONAL SEAFOOD INSPECTION
PROGRAM. The U.S. Department of
Commerce (USDC), National Marine
Fisiieries Service, a part of tiie
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, conducts a voluntary
seafood inspection program on a fee-
for-service basis. A HACCP-based
service is also available. Services
provided by the program include
vessel and plant sanitation, product
inspection and grading, label reviews
product specification reviews,
laboratory analyses, training,
education and information. Inspection
and certification services are available
nationwide and in U.S. territories for
all interested parties. Consultative
services are provided in foreign
countries. Inspection and certification
services are also provided for
imported and exported products.

USERS OF INSPECTION SERVICES.

The users of the voluntary seafood
inspection service include vessel
owners, processors, distributors,
brokers, retailers, food service
operators, exporters, importers, and
those who have a financial interest in
buying and selling seafood products.
The military requires USDC inspected
products be purchased for its troop
feeding program. The U.S.

Department of Agriculture also
recommends that USDC inspected
products be purchased for its food
feeding programs. The USDC
APPROVED LIST OF FISH
ESTABLISHMENTS AND
PRODUCTS, published bi-annually,
provides a listing of products and
participants who contract with USDC.
Currently fourteen states and four
commodity groups of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture maintain
agreements with the USDC for the
cross-licensing of food inspectors to
assist in the inspection and
certification of fishery products.

USDC INSPECTION MARKS. The

official marks authorized for use on
products in the USDC inspection
program are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations, Title 50. These
marks designate the level and the
type of inspection performed by the
federal inspector. The marks can be
used in advertising and labeling under
the guidelines provided by the

Inspection Services Division and in
accordance with federal and state
regulations regarding advertising and
labeling. Products bearing the USDC
official marks have been certified as
being safe, wholesome, and properly
labeled.

"US GRADE A MARK." The U.S.
GRADE A mark signifies that a
product has been processed under
federal inspection in an approved
facility and meets the established
level of quality of an existing U.S.
grade standard. The U.S. Grade A
mark indicates that the product is of
high quality, uniform in size,
practically free from blemishes and
defects, in excellent condition and
possessing good flavor and odor.

"PACKED UNDER FEDERAL
INSPECTION" MARK. The PUFI
mark or statement signifies that the
product has been inspected in an
approved facility by a federal
inspector and was found to be safe,
wholesome and properly labeled
according to approved specifications
or criteria.

LOT INSPECTION MARKS. Products
inspected on a lot inspection basis,
whether in an approved facility or in a
warehouse, cold storage facility or
dock, by a federal inspector, can bear
an official lot inspection mark. The
OFFICIALLY SAMPLED mark
signifies that the products were
officially sampled for wholesomeness,

condition and other factors as
requested. The ACCEPTED PER
SPECIFICATIONS mark identifies
products which were officially sampled
and inspected to conform to approved
specifications or criteria.

USDC HACCP-BASED SERVICE.

The USDC HACCP-based service is
available to all interested parties on a
fee-for-service basis. Label approval,
record keeping and analytical testing
are program requirements. An
industry NMFS certified employee
trained in HACCP principles is also
required for each facility/site in the
program. Compliance ratings

determine frequency of official visits.
Costs are consistent with current
program rates. Benefits to

participants include increased controls
through a more scientific approach,
use of established marks, increased
efficiency of federal inspection
personnel, and enhanced consumer
confidence.
