4 NOTE:—Data are preliminary. Landings of Alaska pollock, Pacific whiting, and other Pacific groundfish that are caught in waters off Washington, Oregon and Alaska and are processed at-sea aboard U.S. vessels are credited to the State nearest to the area of capture. Data for the current year does not include New Jersey depuration clams and Rhode Island inshore lobsters. Totals may not add due to roundings.

Data do not include aquaculture products, except oysters and clams. (1) Landings are reported in round (live) weight for all items except univalve and bivalve mollusks such as clams, oysters, and scallops, which are reported in weight of meats (excluding the shell). Landings for Missisippi River drainage are not available. (2) Less than 500 LB, .5MT,or $500. (3) Revised.

16 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. Source:—Fisheries Statistics Division, F/ST1, NMFS and Census of Aquaculture, USDA Species
