Preface
FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 2005
This publication is a preliminary report for 2005 on
commercial and recreational fisheries of the United
States with landings from the U.S. territorial seas, the U.S.
Exclusive 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
(NMFS), with the generous cooperation of the coastal
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 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. Census Bureau,
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 Agricul-
ture 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 2005. 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 for the New England, Middle Atlantic, and
Chesapeake; Scott Nelson, U.S. Geological Survey, Great
Lakes States; David Gloeckner, Guy Davenport, and Jay
Boulet for the South Atlantic and Gulf States; Trisha
Culver, for California; David Hamm, for Hawaii and
Pacific Islands; William Despit, data extracted from
PacFIN for 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.
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.

U.S. LANDINGS
Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by U.S.
fishermen at ports in the 50 states were 9.6 billion pounds
or 4.4 million metric tons valued at $3.9 billion in 2005 —
a decrease of 58.8 million pounds (down less than 1
percent) and an increase of $176.7 million (up 5 percent)
compared with 2004. Finfish accounted for 88 percent
of the total landings, but only 47 percent of the value. The
2005 average exvessel price paid to fishermen was 41
cents compared to 39 cents in 2004.
Catches of Alaska pollock, Pacific whiting and other
Pacific groundfish that are processed at-sea aboard U.S.
vessels in the northeastern Pacific are credited as "land-
ings" to the state nearest to the area of capture. Informa-
tion on landing port or percentage of catch transferred
to transport ships for delivery to foreign ports is unavail-
able. These at-sea processed fishery products, on a round
(live) weight basis, exceeded 1.5 million metric tons in
2005 and comprised more than 35 percent of the total
domestic landings in the 50 states.
Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports outside
the 50 states along with Internal Water Processing (TWP)
agreements (see glossary) provided an additional 132.3
million pounds (60,000 metric tons) valued at $57.6
million. This was a decrease of 20 percent, or 33.0 million
pounds (1 5,000 metric tons) in quantity and $14.4 million
(20 percent) in value compared with 2004. Most of these
landings consisted of tuna, and swordfish landed in
American Samoa and other foreign ports.
Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 states were 8.0
billion pounds (3.6 million metric tons) in 2005 — an
increase of 195.3 million pounds (88,606 metric tons)
compared with 2004.
Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes
were 1.6 billion pounds (725,755 metric tons) in 2005 —
a decrease of 13 percent compared with 2004.
The 2005 U.S. marine recreational finfish catch (including
fish kept and fish released (discarded)) on the Atlantic,
Gulf, and Pacific coasts was an estimated 423.3 million
fish taken on an estimated 83.4 million fishing trips. The
harvest (fish kept or released dead) was estimated at
174.3 million fish weighing 254.4 million pounds.
WORLD LANDINGS
In 2004, the most recent year for which data are available,
world commercial fishery landings and aquaculture pro-
duction were 140.5 million metric tons — an increase of
7.3 million metric tons (5 percent increase) compared
with 2003.
China was the leading nation with 33.8 percent of the
total harvest; Peru, second with 6.8 percent; India, third
with 4.3 percent; Indonesia, fourth with 4.1 percent;
Chile, fifth with 4.0 percent; and United States, sixth
with 4.0 percent.
PRICES
The 2005 annual exvessel price index for edible fish
decreased by 4 percent, shellfish increased 16 percent
and industrial stayed the same when comparing with
2004. Exvessel price indices increased for 22 out of 32
species groups being tracked, decreased for 8 species
groups, and unchanged for 2 species groups. The sea
scallops price index had the largest increase (77 percent)
while bluefin tuna price index showed the largest
decrease (35 percent).
PROCESSED PRODUCTS
The estimated value of the 2005 domestic production of
edible and nonedible fishery products was $7.6 billion,
$645.5 million more than in 2004. The value of edible
products was $7.2 billion — an increase of $645.7 million
compared with 2004. The value of industrial products
was $362.2 million in 2005 — a decrease of $168.0
thousand compared with 2004.
FOREIGN TRADE
The total import value of edible and nonedible fishery
products was $25.1 billion in 2005 — an increase of $2.2
billion compared with 2004. Imports of edible fishery
products (product weight) were 5.1 billion pounds
valued at $12.1 billion in 2005 — an increase of 164.1
million pounds and $768.0 million compared with 2004.
Imports of nonedible (i.e., industrial) products were
IV
Review
$13.0 billion — an increase of $1.5 billion compared with
2004.
Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery
products was $15.4 billion in 2005 — an increase of $1.8
billion compared with 2004. United States firms ex-
ported 2.9 billion pounds of edible products valued at
$4.1 billion — an increase of 41.2 million pounds and
$365.4 million compared with 2004. Exports o f nonedible
products were valued at $11.4 billion, $1.5 billion more
than 2004.
SUPPLY
The U.S. supply of edible fishery products (domestic
landings plus imports, round weight equivalent, minus
exports) was 11.7 billion pounds in 2005 — an increase of
576.2 million pounds compared with 2004. The supply
of industrial fishery products was 346.8 million pounds
in 2005 — a decrease of 677.4 million pounds compared
with 2004.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION
U.S. consumption of fishery products was 16.2 pounds
of edible meat per person in 2005, down 0.4 pound
from the 2004 per capita consumption of 16.6 pounds.
CONSUMER EXPENDITURES
U.S. consumers spent an estimated $65.2 billion for
fishery products in 2005. The 2005 total includes $44.5
billion in expenditures at food service establishments
(restaurants, carry-outs, caterers, etc.); $20.5 billion in
retail sales for home consumption; and $207.9 million
for industrial fish products. By producing and marketing
a variety of fishery products for domestic and foreign
markets, the commercial marine fishing in dustry contrib-
uted $32.9 billion (in value added) to the U.S. Gross
National Product.

Note:-Table may not add due to rounding. Clams, oysters and mussels are reported as meat weights
(excludes shell) while all other species such as shrimp and finfishes are reported as whole (live) weights.
Some clam and oyster production are reported with U.S. commercial landings. Weights and values represent
the final sales of products to processors and dealers. The "Miscellaneous" includes ornamental/tropical fish,
alligators, algae, aquatic plants, eels, scallops, crabs, and others. The high value and low production of
"Miscellaneous" occurs because production value, but not weight, are reported for many species such as
ornamental fishes.

and recreational fish harvests. Does not include data for Alaska and Texas because no NMFS recreational surveys are
conducted in those states. Menhaden, Pacific Hake, Atlantic Sea Herring , Pacific Sardine and Anchovy were excluded
from commercial landings because they are industrial fisheries and recreational anglers do not target them.

DATA COLLECTION. Detailed information on
marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety
of fishery management and development purposes and is
mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law 94-
265. In 1979, NMFS began the comprehensive Marine
Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS), covering
all fishing modes (private/rental boat, party/ charter boat,
and shore), and including estuarine and brackish water.
Although the recreational harvest is only about 9 percent
of the total U.S. harvest of finfish for states covered by the
MRFSS (see coverage section below), the fishing activities
of millions of marine anglers are important to monitor
because they are directed at relatively few species. Data
collected through the MRFSS and other programs show
that recreational fishing significantiy impacts the stocks of
many marine finfish species. Recreational catches even
surpass commercial landings of some species (see figure
on preceding page).
METHODS. The MRFSS consists of a telephone
survey of coastal county households and a field intercept
survey of angler fishing trips. The telephone survey collects
data on the number of marine recreational fishing trips by
residents of coastal counties. The intercept survey collects
data on the proportion of fishing trips by residents of non-
coastal counties, the species composition of catches, catch
rates by species, and lengths and weights of landed fish.
These data are combined to produce estimates of catch
and effort. Catch estimates are separated into two
categories - harvested catch and catch released alive.
Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as
dead. Whenever possible MRFSS field interviewers
identify, count, weigh, and measure landed fish that are
available in whole form (catch type A). Angler reports are
obtained for catch released alive (catch type B2) and for all
other harvested catch (catch type Bl), such as catch released
dead, used for bait, or filleted fish. Catch estimates are
stratified by subregion, state, wave (bimonthly sampling
period), species, fishing mode (private/rental boat, party/
charter boat, and shore), primary area fished, and catch
type. In addition, economic data are obtained and
estimates of participation are produced.
In place of the MRFSS, Oregon and Washington conduct
ocean boats surveys to produce catch and effort estimates.
Oregon's Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and
Washington's Ocean Sampling Program (OSP) consist of
a field intercept survey for effort and catch of passenger
and private boats. The effort data is collected by counting
boat trips from a particular ocean port inlet on sampled
days. The catch data include fish species composition
numbers of anglers, type of fishing, and lengths and
weights of landed catch. Catch landed whole are exam-
ined by samplers, while other catch is reported by anglers
or passenger boat crew. The catch rate data and boat
counts are combined and expanded by type of day to
produce catch and effort estimates in weekly to monthly
time periods. Catch estimates in numbers of fish and
weight are produced for each species of fish.
On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and in California and
Washington's Puget Sound, effort for the parly/charter
fishing mode is now estimated through For- Hire Surveys
(FHS). These surveys differ from the MRFSS because they
use a telephone survey of boats operators, rather than
households, as the primary method for estimating fishing
effort. Dockside and on-board intercept surveys collect
the angler trip and catch data. The total catch of any one
species is calculated as the product of the estimate of total
angler trips and the estimated mean catch per trip. Al-
though separate estimates are generated for charter boat
and party/ headboat fishing through the FHS, estimates
are not stratified by vessel type in California or Puget
Sound. This improved effort methodology was initiated
in 2000 on the Gulf coast, in 2001 on the Pacific coast, and
in 2003 on the Atlantic coast FHS numbers for 2005 are
included here for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and for
California. For 2004, FHS numbers where used only for
the Gulf coast an California, but not for the Atlantic
coast. Marine recreational fishing in Texas is monitored
by the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife. Texas
numbers for 2005 were from Texas Parks and Wildlife
recreational survey data.
COVERAGE. In 2005, the MRFSS included the Atlantic
coast (Maine-East Florida), Gulf coast (Louisiana- West
Florida) , Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Detailed information and
access to the data are available on the Fisheries Statistics
web page (http://www.st.nmfs.gov/stl/recreational/).
Care is advised when comparing catch estimates for the
MRFSS time series because of differences in sampling
coverage.
In the South Atlantic and Gulf sub-regions (NC-LA) the
MRFSS has not collected catch data from head boats since
1 985, so estimates for these sub-regions now only include
charter boats in the for-hire sector. Marine recreational
fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Department of
Parks and Wildlife and has not been surveyed by the
MRFSS since 1985. Prior to 1998, on the Pacific coast,
20
U.S. Marin

nes
ocean boat trips and salmon trips were not sampled
during certain waves because they were surveyed by state
natural resource agencies. Alaska conducts an annual mail
survey and has never been surveyed by the MRFSS. West
Pacific U.S. territories have not been surveyed by the
MRFSS since 1981. Hawaii was not surveyed between
1981 and 2001. The U.S. Caribbean was not surveyed
between 1981 and 2000.
Historically, only about five percent of the annual recre-
ational catch on the Adantic and Gulf coasts is taken during
Wave 1 (January - February). Costs to sample these
months are very high due to low fishing activity. There-
fore, in Jan/Feb of 1981 the MRFSS was not conducted
in any region. In 1982, Jan/Feb data collection resumed
on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and also on the Adantic coast
of Florida. With a few exceptions (Georgia 1985-1989,
South Carolina 1988, North Carolina 1988-1992), the
MRFSS has not been conducted in Jan/Feb on the Adantic
coast north of Florida since 1980.
Time periods when the MRFSS has not been conducted:
Nov/Dec (Maine and New Hampshire) - 1987 to present; Mar/
Apr (Maine and New Hampshire) - 1986 to present; Jan/
Feb (Northern California and Oregon) - 1994; Jan/Feb
(Southern California and Oregon) - 1995; Nov/Dec
(Oregon) - 1994; Nov/Dec (Washington shore modes) -
2003; July - Dec (Oregon shore modes) - 2003; All Waves
(California through Washington) - 1990 to 1993, 2004 to
present; All Waves (Washington) - 1993 to 1994.
Data from other NMFS and state surveys (e.g. southeast
head boats, California Passenger Fishing Vessels, Pacific
salmon, and Alaska) are not included in this report. The
numbers reported for Washington and Oregon for 2005
include only private and for-hire-fisheries.
DATA TABLES. The estimated harvests (numbers and
weight of fish) for the continental U.S. and Hawaii
(excluding Texas) are presented. Numbers of fish har-
vested and released alive are also presented for many
important species groups. Estimated harvests are pre-
sented by subregion and primary fishing area: inland
[sounds, rivers, bays], state territorial seas [ocean to 3 miles
from shore, except for Florida's Gulf coast and Puerto
Rico, where state territorial seas extend to 10 miles from
shore], and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) [ocean
from the outer edge of the state territorial seas to 200 miles
from shore]. The total numbers of estimated trips and
participants are presented by state.
2005 MRFSS DATA. In 2005, more than 12 million
anglers made more than 83 million marine recreational
fishing trips to the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The
estimated total marine recreational catch was more than
423 million fish, of which nearly 59 percent were released
alive. The estimated total weight of harvested catch was
more than 245 million pounds. The Adantic coast ac-
counted for the majority of trips (almost 63 percent) and
catch (over 57 percent). The Gulf coast accounted for
nearly 28 percent of trips, and over 36 percent of the
catch. The Pacific coast accounted for almost 6 percent
of trips, and 5 percent of the catch. Nationally, most
(almost 60 percent in numbers of fish) of the recreational
catch came from inland waters, 30 percent from state
territorial seas, and more than 10 percent from the EEZ.
The majority of Adantic, Gulf and Pacific trips fished
primarily in inland waters.
ATLANTIC. In 2005, 7.8 million residents participated
in marine recreational fishing. All participants, including
visitors, took over 52 million trips and caught a total of
almost 243 million fish. Nearly 23 percent of the trips
were made in east Florida, followed by 13 percent in
North Carolina, nearly 13 percent in New Jersey, nearly
12 percent in New York, almost 9 percent in Massachu-
setts, over 7 percent in Virginia, and over 6 percent in
Maryland. Together, South Carolina, Connecticut, and
Rhode Island accounted for more than 1 0 percent of the
trips, and Maine, Delaware, Georgia, and New Hamp-
shire accounted for the remaining percentage. The most
commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers offish)
were summer flounder, Adantic croaker, bluefish, striped
bass, and spot. The largest harvests by weight were
striped bass, bluefish, summer flounder, Adantic croaker,
and dolphinfish.
Over the last ten years, total annual catch of striped bass
increased overall from almost 14 million fish (1996) to
nearly 22 million fish (2005). In 2005, striped bass catch
(nearly 22 million fish) was nearly 28 percent above the
10-year average of 17 million fish. From 1996 to 2005,
total annual catch of summer flounder has averaged 22
million fish. Catch increased overall from 19 million fish
(1996) to almost 28 million fish (2005). From die total
catch in 2005 (almost 28 million fish), nearly 85 percent
were released alive. Annual bluefish catch increased
overall from 9.5 million fish (1996) to almost 23 million
fish (2005). At almost 23 million fish, 2005 bluefish catch
was above the 10-year mean of 15 million. Over the last
ten years, total annual catch of black sea bass has
21
fluctuated ranging from a low of 6.3 million fish (1998)
to a high of 19 million fish (2000) with no clear trend. In
2005, black sea bass catch (10 million fish) was over 17
percent below the 10-year average of over 12 million fish
The species most commonly caught on Atlantic coast
trips that fished primarily in federally managed waters
were black sea bass, summer flounder, Atlantic cod,
bluefish, and dolphinfish. Almost 30 percent of the total
Atlantic catch came on saltwater trips that fished prima-
rily in the state territorial seas, and 60 percent came on
trips that fished primarily in inland waters.
GULF OF MEXICO. In 2005, more than 3.3 million
residents participated in marine recreational fishing. All
participants, including visitors, took 23 million trips and
caught almost 154 million fish. About 68 percent of the
trips were made in west Florida, followed by 17 percent
in Louisiana, nearly 7 percent in Alabama, over 4 percent
in Texas, and nearly 4 percent in Mississippi. The most
commonly caught non-bait species (numbers of fish)
were spotted seatrout, red drum, gray snapper, sheeps-
head, and white grunt. The largest harvests by weight
were for spotted seatrout, red drum, sheepshead, gag,
red snapper, and black drum.
Over the last ten years, total annual catch of red snapper
increased overall from nearly 1.8 million fish (1996) to
almost 3.1 million fish (2005). In 2005, red snapper catch
(almost 3.1 million fish) was 11 percent above the 10-
year average of 2.7 million fish. Annual king mackerel
catch decreased overall from 821,000 fish in 1996 to
425,000 fish in 2005. At 425,000 fish, 2005 king
mackerel catch was below the 10-year mean of 532,000.
From 1996 to 2005, total annual catch of spotted
seatrout has averaged almost 26 million fish. Catch has
been generally stable over the last ten years. From the
total catch in 2005 (nearly 31 million fish), more than 64
percent were released alive. Annual red drum catch has
been generally stable over the last ten years. At 7.9 million
fish, 2005 red drum catch was above the 10-year mean
of nearly 7.7 million.
The species most commonly caught on Gulf of Mexico
trips that fished primarily in federally managed waters
were white grunt, red snapper, gag, red grouper, and
black sea bass. Over 24 percent of the total Gulf catch
came on trips that fished primarily in the state territorial
seas, and almost 65 percent came on trips that fished
primarily in inland waters.
PACIFIC. In 2005, marine recreational fishing partici-
pants took 4.6 million trips and caught a total of more
than 21 million fish. More than 93 percent of the trips
were made in California, followed by almost 4 percent
in Oregon, and nearly 3 percent in Washington. The most
commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish)
were spotted sandbass, barred sandbass, black rockfish,
kelp bass, and barred surfperch. By weight, the largest
harvests were black rockfish, lingcod, Chinook salmon,
California halibut, striped bass, and coho salmon.
Annual lingcod catch increased until 2002 but has de-
creased in subsequent years. At almost 3 1 7,000 fish, 2005
lingcod catch was below the 10-year mean of almost
556,000. Over the last ten years, total annual catch of
black rockfish has fluctuated ranging from a low of
595,000 fish (1997) to a high of 1.4 million fish (2000)
with no clear trend. In 2005, black rockfish catch (nearly
817,000 fish) was 19 percent below the 10-year average
of 1 million fish.
The most commonly caught Pacific coast species in
federally managed waters were barred sandbass, Pacific
sanddab, blue rockfish, Pacific barracuda, and vermilion
rockfish. Nearly 69 percent of the total Pacific catch
came from trips that fished primarily in the state territorial
seas, and more than 27 percent came from trips that
fished primarily in inland waters.
PUERTO RICO. In 2005, almost 140,000 marine
recreational participants took almost 850,000 trips and
caught a total of more than 1.1 million fish. The most
commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish)
were dolphinfish, lane snapper, blue runner, yellowtail
snapper, and crevalle jack. By weight, the largest harvests
were blue marlin, dolphinfish, king mackerel, yellowtail
snapper, blue runner, and yellowfin tuna.
HAWAII. In 2005, nearly 400,000 marine recreational
participants took 2.5 million trips and caught a total of 4.6
million fish. The most commonly caught non-bait species
(in numbers of fish) were convict tang, yellowstripe goat-
fish, skipjack tuna, bluefin trevally, and yellowfin tuna. By
weight, the largest harvests were yellowfin tuna, blue
marlin, dolphinfish, bigeye tuna, wahoo, and skipjack tuna.

Note:-- Data for 2000-2003 are revised. Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 176
countries or areas. The total value of exports is consistently less than the value of imports, probably
because charges for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value, but not
in the export value. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1. Fish, fresh, chilled
or frozen; 2. Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3. Crustaceans and mollusks, fresh, dried, salted, etc.;
4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk
products preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 6. Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic
animal origin; and 7. Meals, solubles, and similar animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption 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 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 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
16.2 pounds (edible meat) in 2005. This total was 0.4
pounds less than the record 16.6 pounds consumed in
2004. Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen
products was 11.6 pounds, 0.2 pound less than 2004.
Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 6.1 pounds
while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 5.5
pounds per capita. The fresh and frozen finfish includes
approximately 1.0 pounds of domestically produced
farm raised catfish.
Consumption of canned fishery products was 4.3 pounds
per capita in 2005, 0.2 pound less than the 4.5 pounds in
2004. Cured fish accounted for 0.3 pound per capita, the
same as in previous years. Imports of edible seafood
made up 81 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 2005 was 69.1 pounds,
down 0.2 pounds compared with 2004.
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 2000-2003 data indicates that
the United States ranks as the third largest consumer of
seafood in the world.

U.S. Consumption
Annual per capita consumption of seafood products represents the pounds of edible meat consumed from
domestically-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.

U.S. Use
Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based on the supply of fishery products, both edible and
nonedible (industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without considering the 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.

The Exvessel Price table is an index of changes in the
relative dockside value offish 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 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 1 982 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 2004, if the price of the same species increased
to $1.07, the index in 2005 would be 107.

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 fisherj' 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 II 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 underutilized 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 be a situation in
the future in which allowing limited foreign fishing in an
underutilized fisher}' 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, is 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, Adantic 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 Atlantic 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, 2005, there are 47 FMPs
in effect. Of these, two are Secretarial FMPs for Atlantic
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.

ANADROMOUS SPECIES. These are species of
fish that mature in the ocean, and then ascend streams to
spawn in freshwater. 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.
BOAT, OTHER. Commercial fishing craft not pow-
ered by a motor, e.g., rowboat or sailboat, having a
capacity of less than 5 net tons. See motorboat.
BREADED FISH PRODUCTS. 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.
BUTTERFLY 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-
98
Qi-o:
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, i.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; mosdy a
byproduct of fish meal production.
FISH PORTION. A piece offish 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 not less than 3/4 of an ounce and not more than
1-1/2 ounces with the largest dimension at least three
times that of the next largest dimension. A fish stick is
generally cut from a fish block.
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-rigging.
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 die following
species— Adantic and Pacific: cod, hake, ocean perch, and
pollock; cusk; and haddock.
IMPORT VALUE. Value of imports as appraised bv
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 duties, freight, insurance,
and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise
to the United States.
IMPORT WEIGHT. The weights of individual prod-
ucts as received, i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc.
INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items pro
cessed from fish, shellfish, or odier aquatic plants and
animals that are not consumed direcdy by humans. These
items contain products from seaweeds, fish meal, fish
oils, fish solubles, pearl essence, shark and other aquatic
animal skins, and shells.
99
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) on a 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 such a sea or zone is recognized by the United
States.
MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING. Fishing
for pleasure, amusement, relaxation, or 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, 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 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 offish 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
to any fishery subject to the exclusive fisher)' 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. EXCLUSrVE 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, militarv
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.o.b.) warehouse.

Federal Inspection Marks for Fishery Products
SEAFOOD INSPECTION PROGRAM. The U .S. Department of Commerce (USDC), National Marine Fisheries Service, a part
of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, conducts a voluntary seafood inspection program on a fee- for-scrvice 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. The USDC Seafood Inspection
Program also provides HACCP training, plan development, implementation assistance, and verification service to industry (domestic
and foreign) for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with FDA's HACCP rule (21 CFR Parts 1 23 and 1 240) regarding 'Trocedures
for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish and Fishery Products" which was implemented December 1 8, 1 997.
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 U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that USDC inspected products be purchased for its food feeding
programs. The USDC PARTICAPANTS LIST FOR FIRMS, FACILITIES AND PRODUCTS, published bi annually,
provides a listing of products and participants who contract with USDC.
USDC INSPECTION MARKS. 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 Seafood Inspection Program 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.
"PROCESSED UNDER FEDERAL INSPECTION" MARK. The PUFI mark or statement signifies that the product is
certified to be safe, wholesome and properly labeled, conforms to quality and other criteria in the approved specification, and has
been officially inspected in a USDC sanitarily approved facility under Federal inspection.
"LOT INSPECTED" MARK. The USDC Lot Inspected mark identifies products that were officially sampled and inspected to
conform to an approved specification or criteria. This mark may be used on retail packages and packaging provided the label and
specification are approved.
"RETAIL" MARK. In response to requests made by industry, a new mark has been created for retail or food service establishments.
Participants qualify for use of the "Retail Mark" by receiving the USDC HACCP-based service or being under contract for sanitation
services and associated product evaluation. Usage of such a mark will give the retail industry the opportunity to advertise on their
banners, logos, or menus that their facility has been recognized by USDC for proper sanitation and handling of fisher}- products.
USDC HACCP MARK. 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 USDC-certified employee trained in HACCP
principles is also required for each facility/site in the program. Compliance ratings determine frequency of official visits. 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. The USDC has made available a HACCP mark and a "banner" to distinguish
products that have been produced under the HACCP-based program. The H\CCP banner must be used as an attachment to existing
inspection grade marks. Establishments meeting HACCP program requirements may use these marks in conjunction with
promotional material, packaging, point-of-sale notices, and menus.
