FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES 2010
This publication is a preliminary report for 2010 on commercial and a final report for recreational fisheries of the United States with landings from the US territo-rial seas the US 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 and Regional Fishery Information Networks collected and compiled data on US commercial land-ings 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 US Census Bureau US Bureau of Labor Statistics US Coast Guard US Customs Service US Department of the Interior US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Agricul-ture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA
Data in this publication are considered to be preliminary for 2010 and are subject to revision as revised data become available For the most current data please visit the data queries pages on the website of the NMFS Fisheries Statistics Division

The Fisheries Statistics Division takes this opportunity to thank states industry and foreign nations who provided the data that made this publication possible Program leaders of the field offices were Greg Power David Ulmer Ted Hawes Joan Palmer and Joan Barry for the New England Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake states Scott Nelson US Geological Survey for the Great Lakes states David Gloeckner Larry Beerkircher and Jay Boulet for the South Atlantic and Gulf states Bill Jacobson for California David Hamm for Hawaii and the Pacific Islands Geoff White and Julie Defilippi Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistical Program for Maine to Virginia Brad Stenberg Pacific Fisheries Infor-mation Network for Oregon and Washington and Robert Ryznar and Camille Kohler Alaska Fisheries Information Network for Alaska
NOTES
The time series of US catch by species and distance from shore included in this yearrsquos ldquoFisheries of the USrdquo 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 US landings are shown in round weight (except mol-lusks which are in meat weight) quantities shown for US imports and exports are in product weight as reported by the US Bureau of the Census the value of the US 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 De-flator using a base year 2005 the value for US imports is generally the market value in the foreign (exporting) country and therefore excludes US import duties freight charges and insurance from the foreign country to the United States The value for exports is generally the value at the US port of export based on the selling price including inland freight insurance and other charges Countries and territories shown in the US foreign trade section are established for statistical pur-poses in the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (International Trade Commission) and re-ported by the US Bureau of the Census

US LANDINGS WORLD LANDINGS
Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by US fishermen at ports in the 50 states were 82 billion pounds or 37 million metric tons valued at $45 billion in 2010mdash an increase of 2000 million pounds (up 25 percent) and of $6285 million (up 16 percent) compared with 2009 Finfish accounted for 84 percent of the total landings but only 48 percent of the value The 2010 average exvessel price paid to fishermen was 55 cents compared to 48 cents in 2009
Catches of Alaska pollock Pacific whiting and other Pacific groundfish that are processed at-sea aboard US vessels in the northeastern Pacific are credited as ldquoland-ingsrdquo 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 11 million metric tons in 2010 and comprised 302 percent of the total domestic landings in the 50 states
Commercial landings by US fishermen at ports outside the 50 states along with Internal Water Processing (IWP) agreements (see glossary) provided an additional 4829 million pounds (219024 metric tons) valued at $2743 million This was an increase of 24 percent or 927 million pounds (42048 metric tons) in quantity and $1030 million (60 percent) in value compared with 2009 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 65 billion pounds (29 million metric tons) in 2010mdashan increase of 3280 million pounds (148780 metric tons) compared with 2009

US Marine Recreational Fisheries
DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

resource agencies Recreational fishing data in Alaska are collected through an annual mail survey adminis-tered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Harvest effort and participation data are included but not available for the current year West Pacific US 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 (JanFeb) Costs to sample these months are high due to low fishing activity Therefore in JanFeb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region In 1982 JanFeb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and the Atlantic coast of Florida In 2004 JanFeb data collection resumed in North Carolina With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in JanFeb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980 Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted NovDec (ME amp NH) - 1987 to present MarApr (ME amp NH) - 1986 to present JanFeb (Northern CA amp OR) - 1994 JanFeb (Southern CA amp OR) ndash 1995 NovDec (OR) - 1994 NovDec (WA shore modes) - 2003 July - Dec (OR shore modes) - 2003 All Waves (CA OR amp 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 US Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico are presented Harvest by weight is not available for Texas or 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 territo-rial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore except for Texas and Floridarsquos 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

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

CONSUMERS EXPENDITURES (amp WHOLESALE PURCHASES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS) FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS
$80203239 (1) Includes industrial products and landings by US-flag vessels at US ports foreign ports and transfers to internal water processing vessels
Note-- The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin value added and sales These measures are consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions
Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

The time series of US catch by species and distance from shore included in this yearrsquos ldquoFisheries of the USrdquo 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 US landings are shown in round weight (except mol-lusks which are in meat weight) quantities shown for US imports and exports are in product weight as reported by the US Bureau of the Census the value of the US 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 De-flator using a base year 2005 the value for US imports is generally the market value in the foreign (exporting) country and therefore excludes US import duties freight charges and insurance from the foreign country to the United States The value for exports is generally the value at the US port of export based on the selling price including inland freight insurance and other charges Countries and territories shown in the US foreign trade section are established for statistical pur-poses in the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (International Trade Commission) and re-ported by the US Bureau of the Census

US LANDINGS WORLD LANDINGS
Commercial landings (edible and industrial) by US fishermen at ports in the 50 states were 82 billion pounds or 37 million metric tons valued at $45 billion in 2010mdash an increase of 2000 million pounds (up 25 percent) and of $6285 million (up 16 percent) compared with 2009 Finfish accounted for 84 percent of the total landings but only 48 percent of the value The 2010 average exvessel price paid to fishermen was 55 cents compared to 48 cents in 2009
Catches of Alaska pollock Pacific whiting and other Pacific groundfish that are processed at-sea aboard US vessels in the northeastern Pacific are credited as ldquoland-ingsrdquo 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 11 million metric tons in 2010 and comprised 302 percent of the total domestic landings in the 50 states
Commercial landings by US fishermen at ports outside the 50 states along with Internal Water Processing (IWP) agreements (see glossary) provided an additional 4829 million pounds (219024 metric tons) valued at $2743 million This was an increase of 24 percent or 927 million pounds (42048 metric tons) in quantity and $1030 million (60 percent) in value compared with 2009 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 65 billion pounds (29 million metric tons) in 2010mdashan increase of 3280 million pounds (148780 metric tons) compared with 2009
Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes were 17 billion pounds (773383 metric tons) in 2010mdash a decrease of 7 percent compared with 2009
The 2010 US marine recreational finfish catch (including fish kept and fish released (discarded) on the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific coasts was an estimated 3574 million fish taken on an estimated 715 million fishing trips The harvest (fish kept or released dead) was estimated at 1429 million fish weighing nearly 197 million pounds
In 2009 the most recent year for which data are available world commercial fishery landings and aquaculture pro-duction were 1446 million metric tonsmdashan increase of 21 million metric tons compared with 2008

US Marine Recreational Fisheries
DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

resource agencies Recreational fishing data in Alaska are collected through an annual mail survey adminis-tered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Harvest effort and participation data are included but not available for the current year West Pacific US 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 (JanFeb) Costs to sample these months are high due to low fishing activity Therefore in JanFeb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region In 1982 JanFeb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and the Atlantic coast of Florida In 2004 JanFeb data collection resumed in North Carolina With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in JanFeb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980 Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted NovDec (ME amp NH) - 1987 to present MarApr (ME amp NH) - 1986 to present JanFeb (Northern CA amp OR) - 1994 JanFeb (Southern CA amp OR) ndash 1995 NovDec (OR) - 1994 NovDec (WA shore modes) - 2003 July - Dec (OR shore modes) - 2003 All Waves (CA OR amp 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 US Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico are presented Harvest by weight is not available for Texas or 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 territo-rial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore except for Texas and Floridarsquos 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

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

CONSUMERS EXPENDITURES (amp WHOLESALE PURCHASES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS) FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS
$80203239 (1) Includes industrial products and landings by US-flag vessels at US ports foreign ports and transfers to internal water processing vessels
Note-- The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin value added and sales These measures are consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions
Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

US LANDINGS WORLD LANDINGS

DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

resource agencies Recreational fishing data in Alaska are collected through an annual mail survey adminis-tered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Harvest effort and participation data are included but not available for the current year West Pacific US 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 (JanFeb) Costs to sample these months are high due to low fishing activity Therefore in JanFeb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region In 1982 JanFeb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and the Atlantic coast of Florida In 2004 JanFeb data collection resumed in North Carolina With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in JanFeb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980 Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted NovDec (ME amp NH) - 1987 to present MarApr (ME amp NH) - 1986 to present JanFeb (Northern CA amp OR) - 1994 JanFeb (Southern CA amp OR) ndash 1995 NovDec (OR) - 1994 NovDec (WA shore modes) - 2003 July - Dec (OR shore modes) - 2003 All Waves (CA OR amp 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 US Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico are presented Harvest by weight is not available for Texas or 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 territo-rial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore except for Texas and Floridarsquos 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

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

CONSUMERS EXPENDITURES (amp WHOLESALE PURCHASES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS) FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS
$80203239 (1) Includes industrial products and landings by US-flag vessels at US ports foreign ports and transfers to internal water processing vessels
Note-- The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin value added and sales These measures are consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions
Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

resource agencies Recreational fishing data in Alaska are collected through an annual mail survey adminis-tered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Harvest effort and participation data are included but not available for the current year West Pacific US 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 (JanFeb) Costs to sample these months are high due to low fishing activity Therefore in JanFeb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region In 1982 JanFeb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and the Atlantic coast of Florida In 2004 JanFeb data collection resumed in North Carolina With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in JanFeb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980 Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted NovDec (ME amp NH) - 1987 to present MarApr (ME amp NH) - 1986 to present JanFeb (Northern CA amp OR) - 1994 JanFeb (Southern CA amp OR) ndash 1995 NovDec (OR) - 1994 NovDec (WA shore modes) - 2003 July - Dec (OR shore modes) - 2003 All Waves (CA OR amp 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 US Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico are presented Harvest by weight is not available for Texas or 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 territo-rial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore except for Texas and Floridarsquos 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

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

JOINT VENTURE An operation authorized under the (Magnuson -Stevens Act) in which a foreign vessel is authorized to receive fish from US fishermen in the US EEZ The fish received from the US vessel are part of the US 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 Nationrsquos fishery resources It established the US 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 US 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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 1000 kilograms 0984 long tons 11023 short tons or 22046 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 ldquoboat otherrdquo
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 nationsrsquo 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

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

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 US landings include only the weight of the meats

US EXCLUSIVE 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)
US-FLAG VESSEL LANDINGS Includes land-ings by all US fishing vessels regardless of where landed as opposed to landings at ports in the 50 United States These include landings at foreign ports US territories and foreign vessels in the US FCZ under joint venture agreements US law prohibits vessels constructed or registered in foreign countries to land fish catches at US ports
US 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 military purchases or shipments to US territories

US Marine Recreational Fisheries
DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

resource agencies Recreational fishing data in Alaska are collected through an annual mail survey adminis-tered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Harvest effort and participation data are included but not available for the current year West Pacific US 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 (JanFeb) Costs to sample these months are high due to low fishing activity Therefore in JanFeb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region In 1982 JanFeb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and the Atlantic coast of Florida In 2004 JanFeb data collection resumed in North Carolina With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in JanFeb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980 Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted NovDec (ME amp NH) - 1987 to present MarApr (ME amp NH) - 1986 to present JanFeb (Northern CA amp OR) - 1994 JanFeb (Southern CA amp OR) ndash 1995 NovDec (OR) - 1994 NovDec (WA shore modes) - 2003 July - Dec (OR shore modes) - 2003 All Waves (CA OR amp 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 US Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico are presented Harvest by weight is not available for Texas or 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 territo-rial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore except for Texas and Floridarsquos 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

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

CONSUMERS EXPENDITURES (amp WHOLESALE PURCHASES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS) FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS
$80203239 (1) Includes industrial products and landings by US-flag vessels at US ports foreign ports and transfers to internal water processing vessels
Note-- The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin value added and sales These measures are consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions
Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

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 US 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

DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

resource agencies Recreational fishing data in Alaska are collected through an annual mail survey adminis-tered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Harvest effort and participation data are included but not available for the current year West Pacific US 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 (JanFeb) Costs to sample these months are high due to low fishing activity Therefore in JanFeb of 1981 the surveys were not conducted in any region In 1982 JanFeb data collection resumed on the Pacific and Gulf coasts and the Atlantic coast of Florida In 2004 JanFeb data collection resumed in North Carolina With a few exceptions the recreational statistics program has not collected data in JanFeb on the Atlantic coast north of Florida since 1980 Time periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted NovDec (ME amp NH) - 1987 to present MarApr (ME amp NH) - 1986 to present JanFeb (Northern CA amp OR) - 1994 JanFeb (Southern CA amp OR) ndash 1995 NovDec (OR) - 1994 NovDec (WA shore modes) - 2003 July - Dec (OR shore modes) - 2003 All Waves (CA OR amp 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 US Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico are presented Harvest by weight is not available for Texas or 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 territo-rial seas [ocean to 3 miles from shore except for Texas and Floridarsquos 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

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

$80203239 (1) Includes industrial products and landings by US-flag vessels at US ports foreign ports and transfers to internal water processing vessels
Note-- The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin value added and sales These measures are consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions
Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

US Marine Recreational Fisheries
DATA COLLECTION Detailed information on marine recreational fishing is required to support a variety of fishery management purposes and is mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (PL 104-297) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conser-vation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-479) In 1981 following 2 years of prelimi-nary surveys the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water The fishing activities of millions of anglers are important to monitor because marine recreational fishing significantly impacts 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 (FHS) and a field intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips Information obtained from state or regional logbooks is used to supple-ment 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 ndash harvested catch and catch released alive Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead If 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 catch used for bait or filleted fish Catch estimates are stratified by subregion state and wave (bimonthly sampling period) then further partitioned by species fishing mode (privaterental boat partycharter boat and shore) primary area fished and catch type On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in California 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 weekly telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort with directories of charter and party boats as sampling frames The FHS estimates 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 boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates Oregonrsquos Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washingtonrsquos 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 portioned 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 2010 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 (wwwstnmfsgovst1) Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sam-pling 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 include charter boats in the for-hire sector Marine recre-ational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by NMFSrsquo survey program since 1985 Prior to 1998 ocean boat trips and salmon trips on the Pacific coast were not sampled during certain waves because they were surveyed by state natural

Per Capita Consumption
The NMFS calculation of per capita consumption is based on a ldquodisappearancerdquo model The total US 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 US per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 158 pounds (edible meat) in 2010 This total was 02 pounds less than the 160 pounds consumed in 2009 Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 116 pounds a decrease of 04 pounds from 2009 Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 63 pounds while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 53 pounds per capita Consumption of canned fishery products was 39 pounds
per capita in 2010 02 pounds more than in 2009 Cured fish accounted for 03 pound per capita the same as in previous years Imports of edible seafood made up 86 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 2010 was 636 pounds up 21 pounds compared with 2009
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

US Use Per Capita Consumption
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 US Armed Forces overseas The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population

CONSUMERS EXPENDITURES (amp WHOLESALE PURCHASES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS) FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS
$80203239 (1) Includes industrial products and landings by US-flag vessels at US ports foreign ports and transfers to internal water processing vessels
Note-- The table reports the contribution of commercial marine fishing to the national economy as measured by margin value added and sales These measures are consistent with the Bureau of the Census definitions
Margin or mark-up is the difference between the price paid for the product by the consumer or wholesale purchaser and the dockside or wholesale value for an equivalent weight of the product (It is assumed that fishermen catch their fish without paying purchase price and therefore the entire dockside or exvessel price is considered margin) Value added is a measure of the factors added to the total worth of a product at each stage of the production process It is defined as t he gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the products Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to the sum of the value added of all economic entities in the economy Value added within a sector respresents that sectors contribution to GNP
Value added includes wages salaries interest depreciation rent taxes and profit Consumer expenditures are the final retail value of seafood products sold through stores and food service outlets plus secondary wholesale and processing of industrial products

Prices
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 US 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 $075 a pound in 1986 and $100 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 $107 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 following three categories edible finfish edible shellfish and in-dustrial 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 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Man-agement 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 US 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 nationrsquos 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) 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 336 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 US waters The process applied to foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this publica-tion As US fishing capacity grew foreign participation diminished in directed fisheries as well as in foreign joint ventures in which US vessels delivered US 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 Atlantic herring was harvested by foreign vessels The displace-ment 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 US fishing industry to take what were in 1976 underutilized species
NMFS continues to maintain certain regulations pertain-ing 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 US 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 Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations
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 may also prepare an FMP if a Council fails to develop one In this latter case the Secretaryrsquos FMP covers domestic and foreign fishing
The Secretary may prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species The Atlantic HMS fisheries are managed by the Secretary under the dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fish-ery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) Atlantic tunas Atlantic billfish and North Atlantic swordfish are managed under the authority of both ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act South Atlantic swordfish are managed under the sole authority of ATCA Atlantic sharks in the HMS management unit are managed under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 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 2010 there are 47 FMPs in effect Of these one is a Secretarial FMP 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

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
