## FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 2009 This publication is a preliminary report for 2009 on commercial and a final report for 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 recreational 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 Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA Data on U.S. commercial landings, employment, prices, and production of processed products are preliminary for 2009. Data on recreational catches are final for 2009. Complete 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 nationswho provided the data that made this publication possible. Program leaders of the field offices were: David Ulmer, Ted Hawes, Joan Palmer and Joan Barry for the New England, Middle Atlantic, and Chesapeake states; Scott Nelson, U.S. Geological Survey, for the Great Lakes states; David Gloeckner, Guy Davenport, and Jay Boulet for the South Atlantic and Gulf states; Bill Jacobson, for California; David Hamm, for Hawaii and PacificIslands; Geoff White, Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistical Program, for data from Maine to Virginia; Brad Stenberg, Pacific Fisheries Information Network, data for Oregon and Washington; and Robert Ryznar and Camille Kohler, Alaska Fisheries Information 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 mollusks 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 2005; 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. Address all comments or questions to:

## U.S. LANDINGS Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by U.S. fishermen at ports in the 50 states were 7.9 billion pounds or 3.6 million metric tons valued at $3.9 billion in 2009— a decrease of 458.5 million pounds (down 6 percent) and of $501.6 million (down 11 percent) compared with 2008. Finfish accounted for 84 percent of the total landings, but only 47 percent of the value. The 2009 average exvessel price paid to fishermen was 49 cents compared to 53 cents in 2008.
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 “landings” to the state nearest to the area of capture. Information on landing port or percentage of catch transferredto transport ships for delivery to foreign ports is unavailable. These at-sea processed fishery products, on a round (live) weight basis, exceeded 1.0 million metric tons in 2009 and comprised nearly 30 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 (IWP) agreements (see glossary) provided an additional 390.2 million pounds (176,976 metric tons) valued at $171.3 million. This was an increase of 55 percent, or 139.1 million pounds (63,090 metric tons) in quantity and $81.4 million (91 percent) in value compared with 2008. Most of these landings consisted of tuna landed in American Samoa and other foreign ports.
Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 states were 6.0 billion pounds (2.7 million metric tons) in 2009—a decrease of 598.8 million pounds (271,629 metric tons) compared with 2008.
Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes were 1.8 billion pounds (831,296 metric tons) in 2009— a increase of 8 percent compared with 2008.
The 2009 U.S. marine recreational finfish catch (including fish kept and fish released (discarded)) on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts was an estimated 390.8 million fish taken on an estimated 74.7 million fishing trips. The harvest (fish kept or released dead) was estimated at 172.6 million fish weighing 212.1 million pounds. WORLD LANDINGS In 2008, the most recent year for which data are available,world commercial fishery landings and aquaculture production were 142.3 million metric tons—an increase of 2.5 million metric tons compared with 2007.

China was the leading nation with 33 percent of the total harvest followed by India a nd Peru both with 5 percent. Indonesia was the fourth leading producer with just under 5 percent and Japan was fifth with 4 percent.

PRICES The 2009 annual exvessel price index for edible fish decreased by 43 percent, shellfish decreased by 16 percent and industrial product de creased by 14 percent compared with 2008. Exvessel price indices increased for 7 out of 32 species groups being tracked, decreased for 24 species groups, and was unchanged for one species group. The Atlantic pollock price index had the largest increase (19 percent) while the yellowfin tuna price index showed the largest decrease (74 percent).

PROCESSED PRODUCTS The estimated value of the 2009 domestic production of edible and nonedible fishery products was $8.1 billion, $855.5 million less than in 2008. The value of edible products was $7.6 billion—a decrease of $833.3 million compared with 2008. The value of industrial products was $554.4 million in 2009—a decrease of $22.2 million compared with 2008.

FOREIGN TRADE The total import value of edible and nonedible fishery products was $21.8 billion in 2009—a decrease of $6.6 billion compared with 2008. Imports of edible fishery products (product weight) were 5.2 billion pounds valued at $13.1 billion in 2009—a decrease of 64.4 million pounds and $1.0 billion compared with 2008. Imports of nonedible (i.e., industrial) products were $8.7 billion—a decrease of $5.6 billion compared with 2008.

## Total export value of edible and nonedible fishery products was $19.6 billion in 2009—a decrease of $3.7billion compared with 2008. United States firms exported 2.5 billion pounds of edible products valued at $4.0 billion—a decrease of 103.8 million pounds and adecrease of $277.1 million compared with 2008. Exports of nonedible products were valued at $15.7 billion, $3.5 billion less than 2008.

SUPPLY The U.S. supply of edible fishery products (domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent, minus exports) was 11.7 billion pounds in 2009—a decrease of 70.0 million pounds compared with 2008. The supply of industrial fishery products was 1.3 billion pounds in 2009—an increase of 222.0 million pounds compared with 2008. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION U.S. consumption of fishery products was 15.8 pounds of edible meat per person in 2009, down 0.2 pounds from the 2008 per capita consumption of 16.0 pounds.

CONSUMER EXPENDITURES U.S. consumers spent an estimated $75.5 billion for fishery products in 2009. The 2009 total includes $50.3 billion in expenditures at food service establishments (restaurants, carry-outs, caterers, etc.); $23.8 billion in retail sales for home consumption; and $1.4 billion for industrial fish products. By producing and marketing a variety of fishery products for domestic and foreignmarkets, the commercial marine fishing industry contributed $38.4 billion (in value added) to the U.S. Gross National Product.

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.

## DATA COLLECTION . Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support avariety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act, 1996 (PL 104- 297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109- 479). In 1981, following 2 years of preliminary surveys, the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (private/ rental boat, party/charter boat, and shore), and includingestuarine and brackish water. Although the annual recreational harvest is only about 8 percent of the total U.S. harvest of finfish for states covered by this program, the fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantlyimpacts the stocks of many finfish species, and recreational catches surpass commercial landings of some species (see figure on preceding page).

METHODS. On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the US, the recreational fisheries statistics program consists of a coastal household telephone survey (CHTS), a telephone survey of for-hire fishing vessel operators (charter and party boats; FHS), and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips. Additional information is also obtained from state orregional logbook programs and is used to supplement survey data to produce more robust catch and effort estimates. The CHTS 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, angler avidity, species composition of catches, catch rates by species, and lengths and weights of landed fish. These data are combined to produce estimates of participation, catch and effort. Catch estimates are separated into two categories – harvested catch and catch released alive. Harvested catch includes landed fish and catchreported as dead. Whenever possible, field interviewers identify, count, weigh, and measure landed fish that are available in whole form. Angler reports are obtained for catch released alive and for all other harvested catch, such as catch released dead, used for bait, or filleted fish. Catch estimates are stratified by subregion, state and wave (bimonthly sampling period), and further partitioned by species, fishing mode (private/rental boat, party/charter boat, and shore), primary area fished, and catch type. On the Atlantic, Gulf, and California coasts, effort for the party and charter boat fishing modes is estimated through For-Hire Surveys (FHS). These surveys differ from the CHTS because they use a telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort. The weekly survey uses directories of charter and party boats as the sampling frames. These telephone surveys estimate the number of angler-trips on boats included in the sampling frames. Dockside and on-board angler-intercept surveys collect catch data. The total catch of any one species is calculated as the product of the estimated total angler trips and the estimated mean catch per trip. Although the FHS produces separate estimates for party and charter boat on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, for-hire fishing vessels are not designated by type in California or Puget Sound. This effort methodology was initiated in 2000 on the Gulf coast, in 2001 on the Pacific coast, and in 2005 on the Atlantic coast. FHS numbers for the Gulf Coast only include charter boats. In Oregon and Washington, ocean boats surveys are used 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. Estimates of mean catch per boat, catch per angler, total angler trips and boat trips are produced for each port inlet or port group stratified by time period and partitioned by type of boat, type of trip and water area. Catch estimates in numbers of fish and weight are produced for each species of fish. COVERAGE . In 2009, the Recreational Fishing Statistics Program conducted by the NMFS included the Atlantic coast (ME-East FL), Gulf coast (LA-West FL), Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Detailed information and access to the data are available on the Fisheries Statistics web page (www.st.nmfs.gov/st1). Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across anextended time series because of differences in sampling coverage through the years. In the South Atlantic and Gulf sub-regions (NC- LA) party boat catch data have not been collected since 1985, so estimates for these sub-regions only includecharter boats in the for-hire sector. Marine recreational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by the NMFS’ survey program since 1985. Prior to 1998, on the Pacific coast, ocean boat trips

## and salmon trips were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural resource agencies. Recreational fishing data in Alaskaare collected through an annual mail survey administered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Harvest, effort and participation data are included, but not available for the current year. West Pacific U.S. territories have not been included in the national survey program since 1981. Hawaii was not surveyed between 1981 and 2002. Puerto Rico was not surveyed between 1981 and 2000. Since 2004, the numbers reported for Washington and Oregon include only private boat and for-hire fisheries. Data from other NMFS and state surveys are not included in this report. Historically, only about five percent of the annual recreational catch on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts is taken during Wave 1 (Jan/Feb). Costs to sample these months are very high due to low fishing activity. Therefore, in Jan/Feb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region. In 1982, Jan/Feb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and also on the Atlantic coast of Florida. In 2004, Jan/ Feb data collection resumed in North Carolina. With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in Jan/Feb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980. Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted: Nov/Dec (ME & NH) - 1987 to present; Mar/Apr (ME & NH) - 1986 to present; Jan/Feb (Northern CA & OR) – 1994; Jan/Feb (Southern CA & OR) – 1995 Nov/Dec (OR) – 1994; Nov/Dec (WA shore modes) – 2003; July - Dec (OR shore modes) – 2003; All Waves (CA - WA) - 1990 to 1993, 2004 to present; All Waves (WA) - 1993 to 1994. DATA TABLES . The estimated harvests (numbers and weight of fish) for the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are presented. Harvest by weight are not available for Texas and Alaska. Numbers of fish harvested and released alive are also presented for many important species groups. Estimated harvests are presented by subregion and primary fishing area: inland [sounds, rivers, bays], state territorial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore, except for Texas and Florida’s Gulf coast, 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. 2009 MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING DATA . In 2009, more than 10 million anglers made almost 75 million marine recreational fishing trips in the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The estimated total marine recreational catch was nearly 391 million fish, of which nearly 56 percent were released alive. The estimated total weight of harvested catch was 212 million pounds. The Atlantic coast accounted for the majority of trips (more than 58 percent) and catch (almost 51 percent). The Gulf coast accounted for over 31 percent of trips, and more than 44 percent of the catch. The Pacific coast accounted for almost 7 percent of trips, and 3 percent of the catch. Nationally, most (65 percent in numbers of fish) of the recreational catch came from inland waters, 26 percent from state territorial seas, and nearly 9 percent from the EEZ. The majority of Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific trips fished primarily in inland waters. ATLANTIC . In 2009, nearly 6.4 million residents ofAtlantic Coast states participated in marine recreational fishing. All participants, including visitors, took almost 44 million trips and caught a total of over 198 million fish. Over 23 percent of the trips were made in east Florida, followed by 13 percent in North Carolina, more than 12 percent in New Jersey, over 11 percent in New York, over 8 percent in Massachusetts, nearly 7 percent in Virginia, and morethan 6 percent in Maryland. Together, South Carolina, Connecticut, and Rhode Island accounted for 11 percent of the trips, and Maine, Delaware, Georgia, and New Hampshire accounted for the remaining percentage. The most commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish) were summer flounder, Atlantic croaker, bluefish, black sea bass, and spot. The largest harvests by weight were striped bass, bluefish, dolphinfish, summer flounder, and Atlantic croaker. Over the last ten years, the total annual catch of black sea bass decreased overall from 19 million fish in 2000 to 12 million fish in 2009. In 2009, black sea bass catch (12 million fish) was more than 13 percent below the 10-year average of nearly 14 million fish. From 2000 to 2009, total annual catch of summer flounder has averaged more than 23 million fish. Catch declined to a low in 2002 but has increased in subsequent years. From the total catch in 2009 (over

## 25 million fish), more than 92 percent were released alive. The species most commonly caught on Atlantic coast trips that fished primarily in federally managed waters were black sea bass, summer flounder, Atlantic cod, dolphinfish, and bluefish. More than 27 percent of the total Atlantic catch came on saltwater trips that fished primarily in the state territorial seas,and over 62 percent came on trips that fished primarily in inland waters. GULF OF MEXICO . In 2009, 2.8 million residents of Gulf Coast states participated in marine recreational fishing. All participants, including visitors, took over 23 million trips and caught more than 173 million fish. Almost 67 percent of the trips were made in west Florida, followed by 17 percent in Louisiana, more than 7 percent in Alabama, almost 5 percent in Mississippi, and more than 4 percent in Texas. The most commonly caught non-bait species (numbers of fish) were spotted seatrout, red drum, sand seatrout, Atlantic croaker, and gray snapper. The largest harvests by weight were for spotted seatrout, red drum, sheepshead, red snapper, king mackerel, and black drum. From 2000 to 2009, total annual catch of red drum has averaged 8.8 million fish. Catch has generally been stable. Of the total catch in 2009 (more than 8.3 million fish), over 65 percent were released alive. Annual red snapper catch has fluctuated ranging from a low of more than 2.2 million fish (2000) to a high of 3.9 million fish (2007) with no clear trend. At 2.9 million fish, 2009 red snapper catch was below the 10-year mean of over 3 million.

41 Note:—Data for 2004-2007 are revised. Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 205 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. Source:—Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

Note:—Data for 2004-2007 are revised. Data for marine mammals and aquatic plants are excluded. (1) Only whole fish destined for the manufacture of oils and meals are included. Raw material for reduction derived from fish primarily destined for marketing fresh, frozen, canned, cured, and miscellaneous purposes is excluded; such waste quantities are included under the other disposition channels.

# Per Capita Consumption

73 

## 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 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 15.8 pounds (edible meat) in 2009. This total was 0.2 pounds less than the 16.0 pounds consumed in 2008. Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 11.8 pounds, the same as in 2008. Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 6.2 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 5.6 pounds per capita. Consumption of canned fishery products was 3.7 pounds per capita in 2009, 0.2 pounds less than in 2008. Cured fish accounted for 0.3 pound per capita, the same as in previous years. Imports of edible seafood made up 84 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 withoutconsidering beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports. The per capita use of all edible and industrial fishery products in 2009 was 61.0 pounds, down 2.2 pounds compared with 2008.

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 2005-2007 average data indicates that the United States ranks as the third largest consumer of seafood in the world after China and Japan.

# Per Capita Consumption

# 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 exports, divided by the civilian population of the United States as of July 1 of each year.

# Per Capita Consumption

# 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 Indexes of Exvessel Prices table (to the right) presents the annual dockside price of fish and shellfish sold by fishing vessels as a percentage of the 1982 dockside price for the same species or species group. The exvessel price for each year was obtained by dividing total exvessel value for each species or group by its total quantity as reported in the U.S. commercial landings tables on pages 1 thru 4. The index for each species or group was obtained using the following formula:

A species of fish that sold for $0.75 a pound in 1986 and $1.00 a pound in 1982 would have an index of 75 in 1986, which means that the 1986 price was 75 percent of the 1982 price or 25 percent less than the 1982 price. If the price of the same species was $1.07 in 2000, the index in 2000 would be 107, which means that the price had increased by 7 percent between 1982 and 2000.
The figure below presents the percentage changes in the exvessel price index since 1982 for each of the followingthree categories: edible finfish, edible shellfish, and industrial fish. The index for each category was obtained using the following formula:

The percentage change in the price index for a category is then the difference between the index for that year and 100, where 100 is the index for 1982.

# The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act

84 

## The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), amended on January 12, 2007 by Public Law 109-479, provides for the conservation and management of fishery resources within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It alsoprovides 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 a 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 nauticalmiles). 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, negotiates 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 Congress for ratification.

FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS Title II of the Magnuson-Stevens Act governs foreign fishing in U.S. waters. The process applied to foreignfishing has been described in prior issues of this publication. As U.S. fishing capacity grew, foreign participation diminished 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. Until 2001, the last directed fishing by foreign vessels occurred in 1991. However, in 2001, a small quantity of Atlanticherring was harvested by foreign vessels. The displacement of directed foreign fishing effort in the EEZ marked the achievement of one of the objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Act: the development of the U.S. fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species.
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 fishery would be advantageous to the U.S. fishing industry.

FMPs and PMPs Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, eight Regional FisheryManagement 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 Secretaryof 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 a FMP for any fishery that a Council has not duly produced. In this latter case, the Secretary's FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing.
The Atlantic swordfish, Atlantic sharks, and Atlantic billfish fisheries are currently being managed by the Secretary under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and the Western Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery is managed underthe Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Atlantic Tunas Convention 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. There are 47 FMPs in effect as of December 31, 2009. Of these, one is a Secretarial FMP for Atlantic highly migratory species. The FMPs listed below are under the responsible Council. FMPs that are jointly implemented between two Councils are listed under the lead Council for the FMP. 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 for each FMP.

## ANADROMOUS SPECIES. These are species of fish that mature in the ocean, and then ascend streams to spawn in freshwater. In the Magnuson -Stevens 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 andenhancement of production by stocking, feeding, providing 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 powered by a motor, e.g., rowboat or sailboat, having a capacity of less than 5 net tons. See motorboat.

BREADED FISH PRODUCTS. Sticks and portionsor other forms of fish or shellfish coated with a nonleavened 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 containers, which are hermetically sealed and heat-sterilized. Canned fishery products may include milk, vegetables, orother products. Most, but not all, canned fishery products 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 commerciallylanded fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals consumed by the civilian population of the United States.Consumption includes U.S. production 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 RESOURCES. These are living organisms of any sedentaryspecies that at the harvestable stage are either (a) immobile 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 -Stevens 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 preserved by drying, pickling, salting, or smoking; notincluding canned, frozen, irradiated, or pasteurized products. Dried products are cured by sun or air-drying; pickled or salted products are those products preserved by applying salt, or by pickling (immersing in brine or ina vinegar or other preservative solution); smoked products 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 varyingfrom 2-10 years. El Nino conditions result in an accumulation of warm water off South America which reduced the upwelling of nutrient-rich water necessary to

# Glossary

## 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. EU 27 Countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, 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 ofloading, freight, insurance, and other charges or transportation cost beyond the port of exportation.

EXPORT WEIGHT. The weight of individual products 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; mostly a byproduct of fish meal production.

FISH PORTION. A piece of fish flesh that is generally of uniform size with thickness of 3/8 of an inch or more and differs from a fish stick in being wider or of a different shape. A fish portion is generally cut from a fish block.

FISH SOLUBLES. A water-soluble protein byproduct of fish meal production. Fish solubles are generally condensed to 50 percent solids and marketed as “condensed 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 herannual income from commercial fishing activities, including 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, NMFSsometimes uses the term in a narrower sense. In “Fisheries of the United States,” the term applies to the following species--Atlantic and Pacific: cod, hake, ocean perch, and pollock; cusk; and haddock.

IMPORT VALUE. Value of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs Service according to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. It may be based on foreign market value, constructed value, American selling price, etc. It generally represents a value in a foreign country, and therefore excludes U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States.

IMPORT WEIGHT. The weights of individual products as received, i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc.

INDUSTRIAL FISHERY PRODUCTS. Items processed from fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals that are not consumed directly by humans. These items contain products from seaweeds, fish meal, fish oils, fish solubles, pearl essence, shark and other aquatic animal skins, and shells.

## 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 (Magnuson -Stevens 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 seascallops. Data for all mollusks are published on a meatweight basis.

MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION 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 hasexclusive management authority over fish (meaning finfish, 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 Actprovides 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. Fishingfor pleasure, amusement, relaxation, or home consumption. 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 ORGANIZATION (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 inthe 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 thegreatest overall benefit to the United States, with particular reference to food production and recreational opportunities; and (2) is prescribed as such on the basis ofmaximum sustainable yield from such fishery, as modified by any relevant ecological, economic, or social factors.

## 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 capitaconsumption, estimates of the civilian resident population of the United States on July 1 of each year are used.These estimates are taken from current population reports, 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 UnitedStates 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 and are subsequently exported in substantially the same condition as when originally imported.

RETAIL PRICE. The price of fish and shellfish sold to the final consumer by food stores and other retail outlets.
ROUND (LIVE) WEIGHT. The weight of fish, shellfish, or other aquatic plants and animals as taken from the water; the complete or full weight as caught. The tables on world catch found in this publication include, in the case of mollusks, the weight of both the shells and the meats, whereas the tables on U.S. landings include only the weight of the meats.

SURIMI. Minced fish meat (usually Alaska pollock) which has been washed to remove fat and undesirablematters (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 (TALFF). The TALFF, if any, with respect to any fishery subject to the exclusive fishery management authority of the United States, is that portion of theoptimum 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 MSFCMA (Magnuson-Stevens Act) defines this zone as contiguous to the territorial sea of the UnitedStates 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 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 disappearance of the total supply of fishery products, both edible and nonedible, on a round-weight basis without considering beginning or ending stocks, exports, military purchases, or shipments to U.S. territories.

VESSEL. A commercial fishing craft having a capacity of 5 net tons or more. These craft are either enrolled or documented by the U.S. Coast Guard and have an official number assigned by that agency.

WHOLESALE FISH AND SHELLFISH PRICES. Those prices received at principal fishery markets by primary wholesalers (processors, importers, and brokers) for customary quantities, free on board (f.o.b.) warehouse.

# Federal Inspection Marks for Fishery Products

SEAFOOD INSPECTION PROGRAM . (NOAA) oversees fisheries management in the United States. Under authority in the 1946 Agricultural Marketing Act, the NOAA Seafood Inspection Program provides inspection services for fish, shellfish, and fishery products to the industry. The NOAA Seafood Inspection Program is often referred to as the U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC) Seafood Inspection Program and uses marks and documents bearing the USDC moniker. The NOAA Seafood Inspection Program offers a variety of services which assure compliance with all applicable food regulations. The Program offers sanitation inspection as well as system and process auditing in facilities, on vessels, or other processing establishments in order to be designated as official establishments. Product quality evaluation, grading and certification services are available on a product lot basis. Certain products may be eligible to bear official marks, such as the U.S. Grade A, Processed Under Federal Inspection (PUFI) and Lot Inspection. All edible product forms ranging from whole fish to formulated products, as well as fish meal products used for animal foods, are eligible for inspection and certification. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that USDC inspected fishery products be purchased for its food feeding programs. The USDC PARTICIPANTS LIST FOR FIRMS, FACILITIES AND PRODUCTS provides a listing of products and participants who contract with USDC. 

## 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. These services can be provided nationwide, in U.S. territories, and in foreign countries. The program is a competent authority within the U.S. Government for issuance of health certificates for export of fish and fishery products to foreign countries. The official government forms and certificates issue d by USDC inspectors are legal documents recognized in any U.S. court. 

## 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 a sanitarily 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 excellen t 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 participating establishment 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

. Participants qualify to utilize the Retail Mark by contracting for sanitation services and associated product evaluation. Use of the retail mark gives retail firms the opportunity to advertise on banners, logos, and/or menus that their facility is recognized by the USDC for proper sanitation and handling of fishery 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 HACCP mark may be used alone or in conjunction with existing grade marks to distinguish that the product was produced under the HACCP Quality Management Program. Participants receive the marketing benefits of using the HACCP mark on brochures, banners, and company labels.
