The high value and low production of "Miscellaneous" occurs because production value but not weight are reported for many species such as ornamental fishes.

PER CAPITA 113 U.S. USE Per capita use of commercial fish and shellfish is based on the supply of fishery products, both edible and nonedible (industrial), on a round weight equivalent basis, without considering the beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases, or exports. Per capita use figures are not comparable with per capita consumption data. Per capita consumption figures represent edible,(for human use) meat weight consumption rather than round weight consumption. In addition, per capita consumption includes allowances for beginning and ending stocks and exports, whereas the use does not include such allowances. Per capita use is derived by using total population including U.S. Armed Forces overseas. The per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

That number was then divided changes in the relative dockside value of fish and by the 1982 value to obtain the final index: shellfish sold by fishing vessels. The table indexes the average annual exvessel value (price per pound) received for each species or group to the average price (100 x Current price X 1982 quantity) = Index per pound received for the same species or group in 1982 Annual value the base year 1982. Each index number measures price changes The exvessel price for each year was obtained from the 1982 reference period when the index by dividing total value for each species or group by its equaled 100. A species of fish that sold for $0.75 a total quantity as reported in the U. S. commercial pound in 1986 and a $1.00 a pound in 1982 would landings tables on pages I thru 4. The index for each have an index of 75 in 1986. In 1997, if the price of species or group was obtained by multiplying the the same species increased to $1.07, the index in 1997 current annual price by the total quantity caught in would be 107.

Therefore, in each sector (1). Using a model developed for the estimated 1997 mark-ups and value added in Fisherie5 of the U.S. in 1987, the value added each sector reflect the annual change in fisheries table is updated every year to reflect changes in activity as well as changes in the economy as a the annual quantity and value of landings, whole since 1990. processed products, and imports and exports of several species. These annual updates allow partial re-estimation of the mark-ups, value added, and sales of each sector. To differentiate between the effects of changes in the economy from changes in fishing Complete re-estimation of the annual activity, the 1997 model was estimated using both mark-ups and value added requires secondary the old 1990 and the new 1995 financial data. information such as average revenues and costs of Between 1996 and 1997, the estimated total U.S. operation for businesses involved in the value added activity increased 16%. Half of this processing, wholesaling or retailing of fishery increase is attributable to the updated financial products. The revenue and cost data needed to data. Also between 1996 and 1997, estimated estimate mark-ups in each sector are only consumer expenditures increased by almost 13%; published once every five years. In addition, there of this, less than 3% is due to the updated financial is a two-year lag between the collection and data. The table presented on the following page publication of these data. Thus, the margins incorporates the updates from both the financial estimated in the value added tables from 1992 data as well as the new, 1997 fisheries data. The through 1996 are based on 1990 financial data that 1995 financial data will be used in the model until became available in 1992. new data are available in 2002.

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. Kargin 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 docksi 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 productio process. It is defined as the gross receipts of firms minus the cost of purchased goods and services needed to fabricate the product.

(Magnuson-Stevens Act), provides for the conservation and management of fishery resources within the U.S. As a result of the above, there has been no Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It also provides for total allowable level of foreign fishing since 1991, fishery management authority over continental shelf although 25,000 mt of Atlantic mackerel and 40,000 mt resources and anadromous species beyond the EEZ, of Atlantic herring were available for joint venture except when they are found within a foreign nation's fishing in 1997. However, no joint venture permits territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or were issued in 1997 because no foreign nations elected equivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone is to participate in joint venture fishing in 1997. NMFS recognized by the United States. continues to maintain certain regulations pertaining to foreign fishing, such as the foreign fishing fee The EEZ extends from the seaward boundary schedule, should there be a situation in the future in of each of the coastal States (generally 3 nautical miles which allowing limited foreign fishing in an from shore for all but two States) to 200 nautical miles underutilized fishery would be of advantage to the U.S. from shore. The seaward boundaries of Texas, Puerto fishing industry. Rico, and the Gulf coast of Florida are 3 marine leagues (9 nautical miles). FMPs and PMPs GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHER AGREEMENTS Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, eight Regional Fishery Management Councils are charged with preparing Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the the fisheries needing management within their areas of Secretary of State, in cooperation with the Secretary of authority. After the Councils prepare FMPs that cover Commerce, negotiates Governing International Fishery domestic and foreign fishing efforts, the FMPs are Agreements (GIFAs) with foreign nations requesting to submitted to the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) fish within the EEZ. After a GIFA is signed, it is for approval and implementation. The Department, transmitted by the President to the Congress for through NIVIFS agents and the U.S. Coast Guard, is ratification. responsible for enforcing the law and regulations. FOREIGN FISHING PERMITS The Secretary is empowered to prepare FMPs in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for highly migratory species. Where no FMP exists, Preliminary Fishery Title 11 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act governs Management Plans (PMPs), which only cover foreign foreign fishing in the.EEZ. The process applied to fishing efforts, are prepared by the Secretary for each foreign fishing has been described in prior issues of this fishery for which a foreign nation requests a permit. publication. As U.S. fishing capacity grew, foreign The Secretary is also empowered to produce an FMP participation in directed fisheries, as well as in foreign for any fishery that a Council has not duly produced. In joint ventures in which U.S. vessels delivered U.S. this latter case, the Secretary's FMP covers domestic harvested fish to permitted foreign vessels in the EEZ and foreign fishing. diminished until, in 1991, foreign vessels no longer were permitted to conduct any harvesting or processing operations in the EEZ. This marked the achievement As of December 31, 1997, three Preliminary of one of the objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, Fishery Management Plans (PMPs) were in effect, that is, the development of the U.S. fishing industry to some of which have been amended since first being take what were in 1976 underutilized species, and the implemented.

They are small, pelagic fishes that often occur in large, dense schools of thousands of fish. There are four species of menhaden that occur along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia Dmam=) pictured above and the Gulf menhaden (B. palru=) are the principal species landed. Commercial fishermen locate schools of fish using spotters in airplanes and then capture them with purse seines. Menhaden, because of their high fat and oil content, are a valued industrial component of the U.S. commercial fishery. About 2. 0 billion pounds of menhaden valued at $112 million were landed by U.S. fishermen in 1997. Menhaden comprised about 21 percent of the total U.S. domestic landings and were second only to Alaska (walleye) pollock in the volume of fish landed. Small quantities of menhaden were sold for bait, but most harvested fish were cooked and rendered into meal, oil and solubles. These processed products were used in poultry and cattle feeds, fertilizers, paints, lubricants, plasticizers, and oils. Menhaden are also important as a forage fish for striped bass, tuna, bluefish, and other predators. 144 SERVICES NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE FISHERIES MARKET NEWS FAX-ON-DEMAND SYSTEM The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has collected market information at principal U.S. ports for 60 years.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1998-445-199/90850 Federal Inspection Marks for Fishery Products NATIONAL FISHERY PRODUCTS INSPECTION PROGRAM The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC), National Marine Fisheries Service, a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, conducts a voluntary seafood inspection program on a fee-for-service basis. A HACCP-based service Is also available. Services provided by the program include vessel and plant sanitation, product inspection and grading, label reviews. product specification reviews, laboratory analyses, training, education and information. Inspection and certification services are available nationwide and in U.S. territories for all interested parlies. Consultative services are provided In foreign countries. Inspection and certification services are also provided for imported and exported products. The USDO Seafood Inspection Division also provides HACCP training, plan development, implementation assistance, and verification service to industry (domestic and foreign) for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with FDA's HACCP rule (21 CFR Parts 123 and 1240) regarding "Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish and Fishery Products" which was implemented December 18, 1997. USERS OF INSPECTION SERVICES. The users of the voluntary seafood inspection service include vessel owners, processors, distributors, brokers, retailers, food service operators, exporters, importers, and those who have a financial interest in buying and selling seafood products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that USDO inspected products be purchased for its food feeding programs. The USDC APPROVED LIST OF FISH ESTABLISHMENTS AND PRODUCTS, published bi-annually, provides a listing of products and participants who contract with USDC. USDC INSPECTION MARKS. These marks designate the level and the type of inspection performed by the federal inspector. The marks can be used in advertising and labeling under the guidelines provided by the Seafood Inspection Division and in accordance with federal and state regulations regarding advertising and labeling. Products bearing the USDC official marks have been certified as being safe, wholesome, and properly labeled. "USGRADEA"MARK. The U.S. GRADE A mark signifies that a product has been processed under federal inspection in an appmved facility and meets the established level of quality of an existing U.S. grade standard. The U.S. Grade A mark indicates that the product is of high quality, uniform in size, practically free from blemishes and defects, in excellent condition and possessing good flavor and odor. "PROCESSED UNDER FEDERAL INSPEC77ON" MARK. The PUR mark or statement signifies that the product has been inspected in an approved facility and was found to be safe, wholesome and properly labeled according to approved specifications or criteria. The language within the PUF1 mark has been amended to "Processed Under Federal Inspection" to reflect actual inspection procedures and the regulatory requirements for use of the mark. "LOT INSPECTED" MARK. A new USDC Lot Inspected mark was created to replace the "Officially Sampled" and "Accepted Per Specifications" lot inspection marks used on retail labels. The latter marks were no longer allowed/accepted after September 30, 1997. The use of the new mark meets the needs of both industry and consumers by conveying that the products bearing the mark have been examined by the USDC Program. "RETAIL" MARK- In response to requests made by industry, a new mark has been created for retail or food service establishments. Participants qualify for use of the "Retail Mark" by receiving the USDC HACCP-based service or being under contract for sanitation services and associated product evaluation. Usage of such a mark will give the retail industry the opportunity to advertise on their banners, logos, or menus that their facility has been recognized by USDC for proper sanitation and handling of fishery products. ct4T OF CO TIM Quality TM C*m n Name Fishery ArDcclucis PROCESSED UNDER FEDERAL Lot A INSPECTION H CP CERTIFIED By 'ITES at USDC HACCP MARK. The USDC HACCP-based service is available to all interested parties on a I ee-for-service basis. Label approval, record keeping and analytical testing are program requirements. An industry USDC-certified employee trained in HACCP principles is also required for each facility/site in the program. Compliance ratings determine frequency of official visits. Benefits to participants include increased controls through a more scientific approach, use of established marks, increased efficiency of federal inspection personnel, and enhanced consumer confidence. The USDC has made available a HACCP mark and a "banner" to distinguish products that have been produced under the HACCP-based program. The HACCP banner must be used as an attachment to existing inspection grade marks. Establishments meeting HACCP program requirements may use these marks in conjunction with promotional material, packaging, point-of-sale notices, and menus.
