Sullivan, Ph.D. Eileen Sobeck Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere Assistant Administrator for Fisheries NOAA FISHERIES PUBLICATIONS Each year NOAA Fisheries produces three annual reports covering different aspects of the status of United States marine fisheries. Status of Stocks is an annual report to Congress on the status of U.S. fisheries and is required by the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. This report, which is published each spring, summarizes the number of stocks on the overfished, overfishing, and rebuilt lists for U.S. federally managed fish stocks and stock complexes. The report also shows trends over time, discusses the value and contributions of our partners, and highlights how management actions taken by NOAA Fisheries have improved the status of U.S. federally managed stocks. For example, the 2015 report shows the number of stocks listed as subject to overfishing or overfished remains near an all-time low. http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/fisheries_eco/status_of_fisheries/ Fisheries of the United States, published each fall, has been produced in its various forms for more than 100 years. It is the NOAA Fisheries yearbook of fishery statistics for the United States. It provides a snapshot of data, primarily at the national level, on U.S. recreational catch and commercial fisheries landings and value. In addition, data are reported on U.S. aquaculture production, the U.S. seafood processing industry, imports and exports of fishery-related products, and domestic supply and per capita consumption of fishery products. The focus is not on economic analysis, although value of landings, processed products, and foreign trade are included. http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/commercial-fisheries/fus/fus15/index Fisheries Economics of the United States, published each fall, provides a detailed look at the economic performance of commercial and recreational fisheries and other marine-related sectors on a state, regional, and national basis. The economic impact of commercial and recreational fishing activities in the U.S. is also reported in terms of employment, sales, and value-added impacts. The report provides management highlights for each region that include a summary of stock status, updates on catch share programs, and other selected management issues. Economic performance indicators for catch share programs and non-catch share fisheries are reported. http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/economics/publications/feus/fisheries_economics_2014/index Suggested Citation: National Marine Fisheries Service (2016) Fisheries of the United States, 2015.

The report provides data on U.S. recreational catch and commercial fisheries landings and value as well as other aspects of U.S. commercial fishing. In addition, data are reported on the U.S. fishery processing industry, imports and exports of fishery-related products, and domestic supply and per capita consumption of fishery products. SOURCES OF DATA Information in this report came from many sources. Field offices of NMFS, with the generous cooperation of the coastal states and Regional Fishery Information Networks, collected and compiled data on U.S. commercial landings and processed fishery products. The NMFS Fisheries Statistics Division in Silver Spring, MD, managed the collection and compilation of recreational statistics, in cooperation with various States and Interstate Fisheries Commissions, and tabulated and prepared all data for publication. Sources of other data appearing in this publication are: U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Alaska. We also wish to thank Stefania Vannuccini and Gabriella Laurenti of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and Brad McHale, Jackie Johnson-Cragg, and Dianne Stephan of the NOAA Office of Sustainable Fisheries. NOTES As in past issues of this publication, the units of quantity and value are defined as follows unless otherwise noted: U.S. landings are shown in round weight (except mollusks which are in meat weight); quantities shown for U.S. imports and exports are in product weight, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census; the value of the U.S. domestic commercial landings is ex-vessel; in the Review section, deflated ex-vessel prices are shown. The deflated value was computed using the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator using a base year 2009. The value for U.S. imports is generally the market value in the foreign (exporting) country and, therefore, excludes U.S. import duties, freight charges and insurance from the foreign country to the United States. The value for exports is generally the value at the U.S. port of export, based on the selling price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges. Countries and territories shown in the U.S. foreign trade section are established for statistical purposes in the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (International Trade Commission) and reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Due to data availability aquaculture production data lags the rest of the publication by 1 year. Data in this publication are considered to be preliminary and are subject to revision as better information becomes available and updates are made by our regional partners.

Finfish accounted for 88 percent of the total landings, but only 46 percent of the value. The 2015 average exvessel price paid to fishermen was 54 cents per pound compared to 57 cents per pound in 2014. Catches of Alaska pollock, Pacific whiting and other Pacific groundfish that are processed at-sea aboard U.S. vessels in the northeastern Pacific are credited as “landings” to the state nearest the area of capture. Information is unavailable for landing port or percentage of catch transferred to transport ships for delivery to foreign ports. These at-sea processed fishery products, on a round (live) weight basis, exceeded 1.5 million metric tons in 2015 and made up 33 percent of the total domestic landings in the 50 states. Commercial landings by U.S. fishermen at ports outside the 50 states provided an additional 547.5 million pounds (248,363 metric tons) valued at $284 million. This was a decrease of 15 percent, or 96 million pounds (43,586 metric tons) in quantity and a decrease of $154 million (35%) in value compared with 2014. Most of these landings consisted of tuna landed in American Samoa and other foreign ports. Note that improved foreign port data collection in 2012 resulted in a more complete dataset, and thus higher numbers, than were historically available at the time of publication. Therefore, use caution when comparing data before 2012 to those from more recent years. was estimated at 151 million fish weighing 188 million pounds. AQUACULTURE In 2014, estimated freshwater plus marine U.S. aquaculture production was 608 million pounds with a value of $1.33 billion, a decrease of 18.3 million pounds (2.9%) in volume and 4 million (<1%) in value from 2013. Atlantic salmon was the leading species for marine finfish aquaculture, with 41.3 million pounds produced, essentially unchanged from 2013. Atlantic salmon produced was valued at $76.2 million (down 27%). Oysters have the highest volume for marine shellfish production (33.3 million pounds, down 5%). The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that nearly half of the world’s consumption of seafood comes from aquaculture. Globally, Asia is the leading continent for aquaculture production volume with 89 percent of the global total of 73.8 million metric tons. The top five producing countries are in Asia: China, with 62 percent of the global total; India, 7 percent; Indonesia, 6 percent; Viet Nam, 5 percent; and Bangladesh 3 percent. The United States ranks fifteenth in production. WORLD LANDINGS In 2014, the most recent year for which global data are available, world commercial fishery landings and aquaculture production were 167 million metric tons—an increase of 4.3 million metric tons compared with 2013. Aquaculture production increased by 3.5 million metric tons while fishery landings increased by 0.8 million tons. China was the leading nation in both fishery landings and aquaculture production, accounting for 37 percent of the total harvest. Indonesia is the second Edible fish and shellfish landings in the 50 states leading producer with 6 percent. India was third with were almost 7.8 billion pounds (3.5 million metric just under 6 percent. Viet Nam was fourth with 4 tons) in 2014—a decrease of 78 million pounds (35 percent. The United States was fifth with 3 percent. metric tons) compared with 2014. PRICES The 2015 annual ex-vessel price index for edible fish Landings for reduction and other industrial purposes were almost 2 billion pounds (892,679 metric tons) decreased by 9 percent. Shellfish decreased by 9 in 2015—an increase of 19 percent compared with percent and industrial products increased 10 percent compared with 2014. Exvessel price indices increased 2014. for 16 out of 32 species groups being tracked, decreased The 2015 U.S. marine recreational finfish catch, for 15 species groups, and remained unchanged for 1 including fish kept and fish released (discarded) product group. The cod price index had the largest on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts (including increase (66%) while the snow crab price index Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico), was an estimated showed the largest decrease (54%). 351 million fish taken on an estimated 61 million fishing trips.

Volume increased 175.8 million pounds (3%), while value decreased by $1.4 billion (7%) compared with 2014. Imports of nonedible (i.e., industrial) products were $15.5 billion—a decrease of $137.5 million (<1%) compared with 2014. of nonedible products were valued at $22.8 billion, which is $1.4 billion (6%) less than 2014. SUPPLY The U.S. supply of edible fishery products (domestic landings plus imports, round weight equivalent, minus exports) was 11.9 billion pounds in 2015— an increase of 162 million pounds compared with 2014. The supply of industrial fishery products was 743 million pounds in 2015—an increase of 406 million pounds compared with 2014. PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION Estimated U.S. per capita consumption of fish and shellfish was 15.5 pounds (edible meat) in 2015. This total was an increase of 0.9 pounds from the 14.6 pounds consumed in 2014. CONSUMER EXPENDITURES U.S. consumers spent an estimated $96.0 billion for fishery products in 2015.

Although reporting is required for all commercially-landed species, the data collected and methods used vary widely among fisheries and among the various regions. Some data come from the fishermen themselves via a logbook or trip ticket program, while others use reports from the seafood dealers who buy their catch. See the following section for summaries of each of the major regional data sources. Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN, http://pacfin. psmfc.org/), a joint state–federal program focused on fisheries data collection and information management for the Pacific Coast. PacFIN includes data from state fish-ticket, port sampling, and logbook programs, as well as limited-entry and observer data provided by NMFS. MAINE THROUGH GEORGIA. NMFS receives landings data for the Atlantic Coast (Maine through Georgia), from the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program (ACCSP, http://www.accsp.org). ACCSP is a cooperative state–federal program that designs, implements, and conducts marine fisheries data collection programs into a single data management system to meet the needs of fishery managers, scientists, and fishermen. ACCSP compiles landings from the relevant state agencies and from NMFS. Most of these landings are collected from reports of seafood dealers using the Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS), an online reporting tool developed by the ACCSP and used throughout the Atlantic Coast. HAWAII. Data for Hawaii and the Pacific Territories are provided by the Western Pacific Fisheries Information System (WPacFIN, http://www.pifsc.noaa.gov/wpacfin/), a program of the NMFS Pacific Islands Fishery Science Center. WPacFIN staff combines Hawaii Department of Aquatic Resources data with landings from the PIFSC Hawaii-based longline fleet logbook program to compile species totals for the state. FLORIDA THROUGH TEXAS. For Fisheries of the United States, landings data for the Gulf of Mexico region are provided by the NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center (http://www.sefsc.noaa.gov/) in cooperation with the Fisheries Information Network of the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission (http://www. gsmfc.org). Most of these data are collected through dealer trip-ticket programs administered by the states. Landings data for Florida are provided by ACCSP. ATLANTIC HIGHLY MIGRATORY SPECIES (HMS). Landings data for Atlantic HMS (swordfish, sharks, bluefin tuna, and BAYS (bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack, tunas) are provided by the NMFS’ Atlantic HMS Management Division. For all species except bluefin tuna, the data are collected through the existing electronic dealer reporting programs from Maine to Texas, which include SAFIS (including Georgia and South Carolina) and state trip-ticket programs for the Northeast region, North Carolina, and Florida through Texas. For HMS dealers in the Caribbean, these data are collected via an HMS-specific dealer reporting program. Atlantic bluefin tuna landings data are from the HMS Management Division’s bluefin tuna dealer reporting database. WASHINGTON, OREGON, and CALIFORNIA. Pacific Coast landings data are provided by the Pacific ALASKA. Alaska data are provided by the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN, http://www. akfin.org). Landings estimates are derived by combining the NMFS Alaska Regional Office’s new Catch Accounting System for groundfish, and the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission-sourced fish tickets for species other than groundfish. GREAT LAKES. Landings data from the Great Lakes are provided by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Great Lakes Science Center (http://www.glsc.usgs.gov/). These data lag the other landings data by 1 year. LANDINGS BY DISTANCE-FROM-SHORE. Landings by distance-from-shore has been included in Fisheries of the United States for many decades. The categories for distance-from-shore reporting are: “0 to 3 miles from shore” corresponding to state waters; “3-200 miles from shore” corresponding to federally managed waters in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States; and “High seas or off Foreign Waters” corresponding to ocean areas beyond the EEZ. Distancefrom-shore is derived from spatial elements in the data where it is available. Because location of the catch is not a required reporting element for most fisheries, however, the distribution of landings by distancefrom-shore is usually estimated based on historic data and industry knowledge. The Landings by DistanceFrom-Shore table includes landings, primarily tuna, caught by U.S.-flagged purse seine and trolling vessels that are landed in foreign ports, including American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, and the Marshall Islands. Data are estimated based on unloading receipts by NMFS staff in the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Pacific Islands Regional Office, and Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. All of these catches are assumed to be made on the high seas, beyond 200 miles offshore. This table also includes landings of Atlantic groundfish and Pacific albacore in Canada made by U.S.-flagged vessels under international agreement.

Although the U.S. is not a major aquaculture producer (ranking 14th worldwide), it is estimated that over half of the seafood that the U.S. imports comes from aquaculture. Additionally, aquaculture plays an important role in producing many popular seafood products, including salmon, oysters, and clams in the U.S. as well as imported shrimp. The data in this section are current through 2014 and therefore lag 1 year behind the rest of the data in Fisheries of the United States. SOURCES OF DATA Aquaculture is defined as the propagation and rearing of aquatic species in controlled or selected environments (National Aquaculture Act of 1980). Accurate statistics about the state of the U.S. marine aquaculture industry are essential for quantitatively demonstrating the contribution of aquaculture to coastal economies and to U.S. seafood production. Regular, periodic data are necessary to assess industry trends. Currently, the United States does not conduct an annual national data collection for aquaculture production. To derive the estimates reported here, NMFS compiles data from a number of sources including state agencies, industry groups, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and specialized surveys. Round weight is reported for most species, but oysters, clams, and mussels are reported as meat weight (i.e., without the shell). For a few species, such as ornamental fish, only value is reported. The values reported are at the farm-gate level. More detailed data on United States Aquaculture are available from the USDA Census of Aquaculture for 2013 (http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/ Census_of_Aquaculture/). This is the first Census of Aquaculture since 2005 and is a follow-up to the 2012 Census of Agriculture. The Census of Aquaculture provides more information on freshwater aquaculture, species farmed, and methods used. Data in the census is from 2013 because the census is not conducted annually. Data from this publication will not agree exactly with data from the Census of Aquaculture due to differences in methodology and sources of data. World data are compiled by the FAO and are available on its website (www.fao.org/fishery/statistics/globalaquaculture-production) and through its FishStatJ software (http://www.fao.org/fishery/statistics/software/ fishstatj/en). For global data, all species are reported in live weight. Therefore, U.S. aquaculture totals in 22  FUS 2015 world tables will not match those reported in tables that have data only for the United States. DATA HIGHLIGHTS In 2014, estimated freshwater plus marine U.S. aquaculture production was 608 million pounds with a value of $1.33 billion. This volume of production is essentially unchanged from 2013; however, production is still above the average totals of recent years. Freshwater aquaculture production has been declining generally since 2009, and 2014 production showed a decrease of 3% from the 2013 figure. Marine production has increased in both volume and value since 2009. In 2014 the production volume was up less than 1% from 2013 with a total of 90.6 million pounds valued at $386 million. Freshwater production is primarily composed of catfish (307 million pounds), crawfish (134 million pounds), and trout (48.5 million pounds). Atlantic salmon is the leading species for marine finfish aquaculture (41.2 million pounds), while oysters have the highest volume (33.3 million pounds) for marine shellfish production. Thriving shellfish industries can be found in all coastal regions of the United States. The Atlantic and Pacific Coast states produce more oysters, clams, and mussels by value ($121 and $122 million, respectively), while the Gulf states produce more by volume (20 million pounds). The FAO estimates that nearly half of world seafood consumption comes from aquaculture. By far, Asia is the leading continent for aquaculture production volume with 89 percent of the global total of 73.8 million metric tons. The top five producing countries are in Asia: China, India, Indonesia, Viet Nam, and Bangladesh. The United States ranks fifteenth in production. Globally, carps (28.2 million metric tons), tilapias (5.3 million metric tons), and salmon (3.4 million metric tons) are the finfish species groups with the greatest production. Clams (5.4 million metric tons), oysters (5.2 million metric tons), and shrimp (4.6 million metric tons) are the shellfish species groups with the most production.

In 1981, following 2 years of preliminary surveys, the NMFS began a comprehensive survey of marine recreational fisheries covering all fishing modes (private/rental boat, party/charter boat, and shore) and including estuarine and brackish water. Although the annual recreational harvest makes up only about 8 percent of the total U.S. harvest of finfish for states covered by this program, it is important to monitor the fishing activities of millions of anglers. Marine recreational fishing significantly impacts the stocks of many finfish species, and recreational catches surpass commercial landings of some species (see pages 20-21). METHODS On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, the marine recreational fisheries statistics program consists of a coastal household telephone survey (CHTS); a telephone survey of for-hire fishing vessel operators (FHS; charter and party boats); and an access-point angler-intercept survey of completed angler fishing trips (APAIS). Additional information is obtained from state or regional logbook programs and supplements 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 species composition of catches, catch rates by species, lengths and weights of landed fish, the proportion of fishing trips by residents of noncoastal counties, and angler avidity. These data are combined to produce estimates of participation, catch, and effort. Catch estimates are separated into two categories—harvested catch and catch released alive. Harvested catch includes landed fish and catch reported as dead. Whenever possible, field interviewers identify, count, weigh, and measure landed fish that are available in whole form. Angler reports are obtained for catch released alive and for all other harvested catch, such as catch released dead or used for bait, or filleted fish. Catch estimates are stratified by sub-region, state, and wave (bimonthly sampling period). Estimates are further partitioned by species, fishing mode (private/rental boat, party/ charter 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 telephone survey of boats as the primary method for estimating fishing effort. The weekly surveys use directories of charter and party boats as the sampling frames. These telephone surveys estimate the number of angler trips on boats included in the sampling frames. Dockside and on-board angler- intercept surveys collect catch data. The total catch of any one species is calculated as the product of the estimated total angler trips and the estimated mean catch per trip. Although the FHS produces separate estimates for party and charter boats on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, for-hire fishing vessels are not designated by type in California or Puget Sound. The FHS 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 include only charter boats. In Oregon and Washington, ocean boat surveys are used to produce catch and effort estimates. Oregon’s Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS) and Washington’s Ocean Sampling Program (OSP) consist of a field- intercept survey for effort and catch of passenger and private boats. Estimates of mean catch per boat, catch per angler, total angler trips, and boat trips are produced for each port inlet or port group stratified by time period and 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 2015, the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) conducted by the NMFS included the Atlantic coast (ME-East FL), Gulf coast (MS-West FL), Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Detailed information and access to the data are available on the Fisheries Statistics web page (www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/recreational-fisheries). Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sampling coverage through the years. FUS 2015  29 U.S. Marine Recreational Fisheries In the South Atlantic and Gulf sub-regions (NCLA), party boat catch data have not been collected since 1985, so estimates for these sub-regions include charter boats in the for-hire sector only. Since 2014, marine recreational fishing in Louisiana has been monitored by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries; prior years were surveyed by the NMFS survey program. Marine recreational fishing in Texas is monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has not been surveyed by the NMFS survey program since 1985. Prior to 1998, 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 administered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Harvest, effort, and participation data are included but are not available for the current year. West Pacific U.S. territories have not been included in the national survey program since 1981. Hawaii was not surveyed between 1981 and 2002, and 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. survey precisely and suggest very low contribution to annual catches if the anglers are successful. Periods when the marine recreational statistics program has not been conducted include: -Nov/Dec (ME & NH) – 1987 to present -Mar/Apr (ME & NH) – 1986 to present -Jan/Feb (Northern CA & OR) – 1994 -Jan/Feb (Southern CA & OR) – 1995 -Nov/Dec (OR) – 1994; Nov/Dec (WA shore modes) – 2003 - July - Dec (OR shore modes) – 2003 -All Waves (CA- WA) – 1990 to 1993, 2004 to present - All waves (WA) – 1993 to 1994. CATCH AND EFFORT ESTIMATION The MRIP produced a new method for estimating catch rates using properly weighted intercept data collected via the APAIS. This new method was determined to produce superior, unbiased catch rate estimates compared to the existing procedures and has been used for all catch estimates since 2011. The method also produces unbiased adjustment factors for out-of-frame anglers who are not covered by the CHTS, resulting in improved effort estimates. The resulting catch estimates are therefore unbiased estiHistorically, only about 5 percent of the annual mates for finfish catch, including descriptors such as recreational catch on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts average weight of landed fish and length frequencies is taken during Wave 1 (Jan/Feb).

The total numbers of estimated trips and participants are presented by state. 2015 MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING DATA The 2015 national estimate of marine recreational anglers of 8.9 million anglers was derived from two sources: 1) an estimate based on a peer-reviewed method for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from Maine to Mississippi, and 2) estimates of the number of anglers for California, Oregon and Washington (since 2003) and Louisiana (since 2014) based on historical rates of participation in recreational saltwater fishing. Hawaii and Puerto Rico lack historical data adequate to estimate and are not included. NOAA fisheries has a growing concern and lack of confidence in that second portion of the total estimate that depends on using historical participation rates to provide current estimates, especially over a long time frame. NOAA Fisheries will continue to provide that portion of the national estimate described in 1) above, and will work with its state partners to explore ways to improve annual estimates of marine recreational angler participation rather than continuing to use the source described in 2) above. All participants, including visitors, took 34 million trips and caught a total of more than 188 million fish. More than 25 percent of the trips were made in East Florida, followed by almost 14 percent in North Carolina, almost 13 percent in New Jersey, almost 10 percent in New York, nearly 8 percent in South Carolina, nearly 7 percent in Maryland, and more than 6 percent in Massachusetts. Together, Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island accounted for almost 13 percent of the trips; Georgia, Delaware, Maine, and New Hampshire accounted for the remaining percentages. The most commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish) were Atlantic croaker, black sea bass, summer flounder, bluefish, and striped bass. The largest harvests by weight were striped bass, bluefish, dolphinfish, summer flounder, and scup. From 2006 to 2015, total annual catch of Atlantic croaker averaged almost 19 million fish. Catch decreased overall from 21 million fish in 2006 to more than 13 million fish in 2015. More than 57 percent of the total catch in 2015 (over 13 million fish) were released alive. Annual black sea bass catch increased overall from almost 11 million fish (2006) to nearly 13 million fish (2015). At 12.9 million fish, 2015 black sea bass catch was just above the 10-year mean of 12.7 million. The species most commonly These 8.9 million marine recreational anglers made caught on Atlantic Coast trips that fished primarily nearly 61 million marine recreational fishing trips in in federally managed waters were black sea bass, the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto summer flounder, dolphinfish, Atlantic mackerel, and Rico. Alaska data are not available for the current haddock. More than 29 percent of the total Atlantic year. The estimated total marine recreational catch catch came on saltwater trips that fished primarily was more than 351 million fish, of which 57 percent in the state territorial seas, and 61 percent came on were released alive. The estimated total weight of trips that fished primarily in inland waters. harvested catch was 188 million pounds. The Atlantic Coast accounted for the majority of trips (nearly 56 GULF OF MEXICO percent) and catch (almost 54 percent). The Gulf In 2015, nearly 2.7 million residents of Gulf Coast Coast accounted for 34 percent of trips and almost states (not including Louisiana) participated in marine 41 percent of the catch, while the Pacific Coast recreational fishing. All participants, including visiaccounted for almost 7 percent of trips and 4 percent tors, took nearly 21 million trips and caught almost of the catch. Nationally, most of the recreational catch 143 million fish. Almost 65 percent of the trips were came from inland waters (55 percent in numbers of made in West Florida, followed by almost 12 percent fish), with 33 percent from state territorial seas and in Louisiana, 11 percent in Alabama, more than 7 almost 10 percent from the EEZ. The majority of percent in Mississippi, and 5 percent in Texas. The Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific trips fished primarily in most commonly caught non-bait species (numbers of inland waters. fish) were spotted seatrout, gray snapper, red drum, blue runner, and sand seatrout. The largest harvests ATLANTIC by weight were for spotted seatrout, red drum, red In 2015, over 5.2 million residents of Atlantic Coast snapper, king mackerel, sheepshead, and dolphinfish. states participated in marine recreational fishing. FUS 2015  31 U.S. Marine Recreational Fisheries From 2006 to 2015, total annual catch of red snapper has averaged nearly 2.9 million fish. Catch decreased overall from 3.9 million fish in 2006 to almost 2.4 million fish in 2015. Of the total catch in 2015 (almost 2.4 million fish), almost 66 percent were released alive. Annual catch of spotted seatrout has varied between nearly 15 million fish and 36 million fish over the last 10 years, with an average catch of 29 million fish per year. Of the nearly 17 million spotted seatrout caught in 2015, almost 9.1 million fish (almost 54%) were released alive. The species most commonly caught on Gulf of Mexico trips that fished primarily in federally managed waters were red snapper, red grouper, white grunt, dolphinfish, and yellowtail snapper. About 33 percent of the total Gulf catch came on trips that fished primarily in the state territorial seas, and almost 53 percent came on trips that fished primarily in inland waters. PACIFIC In 2015, marine recreational anglers took 4 million trips and caught a total of over 14 million fish. Almost 92 percent of the trips were made in California, followed by 5 percent in Oregon and more than 3 percent in Washington. The most commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish) were barred surfperch, black rockfish, kelp bass, lingcod, and blue rockfish. By weight, the largest harvests were lingcod, black rockfish, yellowfin tuna, albacore, yellowtail, and vermilion rockfish. Annual California halibut catch declined to a low in 2011 but has since increased. At 117,000 fish, California halibut catch in 2015 was below the 10-year mean of nearly 210,000. Annual catch of Chinook salmon has varied between 12,000 fish and 180,000 fish over the last 10 years, with an average catch of nearly 108,000 fish per year. Of the 12,000 Chinook salmon caught in 2015, almost 17 percent (2,000 fish) () were released alive. The most commonly caught Pacific coast species in federally managed waters were California scorpionfish, vermilion rockfish, yellowfin tuna, squarespot rockfish, and yellowtail. Nearly 71 percent of the total Pacific catch came from trips that fished primarily in the state territo- rial seas, and 12 percent came from trips that fished primarily in inland waters. 32  FUS 2015 ALASKA In 2014, 301,000 marine recreational anglers took more than 583,000 trips and caught a total of nearly 2.3 million fish. Commonly caught non-bait fishes included Pacific halibut, rockfishes, Pacific cod, lingcod, and the salmons: Chinook, chum, coho, pink, and sockeye. The most abundantly harvested of the salmons were coho salmon and Chinook salmon. Current year statistics are not available. HAWAII In 2015, marine recreational anglers took 1.4 million trips and caught a total of nearly 5.2 million fish. The most commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish) were yellowstripe goatfish, bluefin trevally, yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, and yellowfin goatfish. By weight, the largest harvests were yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, dolphinfish, wahoo, giant trevally, and yellowfin goatfish. PUERTO RICO In 2015, marine recreational anglers took almost 668,000 trips and caught a total of 953,000 fish. The most commonly caught non-bait species (in numbers of fish) were great barracuda, tilapia genus, blue runner, dolphinfish, and yellowtail snapper. By weight, the largest harvests were dolphinfish, wahoo, great barracuda, mutton snapper, blue runner, and crevalle jack.

Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 205 countries or areas. Usually, exports are recorded at their free-on-board (FOB) value, while imports are recorded at their cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value. Therefore, at the world level, the value of imports should be higher than that of exports. However, since 2011 this has not been the case. Work is underway to better understand the reasons for this anomalous trend. The seven fishery commodity groups covered by this table are: 1. Fish, fresh, chilled or frozen; 2. Fish, dried, salted, or smoked; 3. Crustaceans and mollusks, fresh, dried, salted, etc.; 4. Fish products and preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 5. Crustacean and mollusk products preparations, whether or not in airtight containers; 6. Oils and fats, crude or refined, of aquatic animal origin; and 7. Meals, solubles, and similar animal foodstuffs of aquatic animal origin.

In 2015, the U.S. production of raw (uncooked) fish fillets and steaks, including blocks, was 724.6 million pounds, 97 million pounds less than the 822.0 million pounds in 2014 due to decreases in cod, hake, Alaska pollock, tilapia, tuna, and salmon fillets. All fillets and steaks were valued at $1.8 billion. Alaska pollock fillets and blocks continue to lead all species with 461 million pounds–a decrease from the 479 million pounds in 2014, and representing 64 percent of the total. Production of groundfish fillets and steaks (cod, hake, ocean perch, pollock, cusk and haddock) was 568 million pounds, a decrease of 59 million pounds from 2014. FISH STICKS AND PORTIONS. The combined production of fish sticks and portions was 206 million pounds valued at $359.8 million compared with the 2014 production of 211 million pounds valued at $366 million. The total production of fish sticks amounted to 65.7 million pounds valued at $94.7 million. The total production of fish portions amounted to 140.3 million pounds valued at $265 million.

The resulting data are reported in this section of Fisheries of the United States, as well as reports of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Fisheries Economics of the United States, and are used in commercial fisheries disposition calculations, annual per-capita consumption figures, and other reports. The survey is voluntary in all regions except the Northeast. In the Northeast, it is mandatory for processors with a federal processing permit to provide the requested data. The survey instrument is a paper form that asks for monthly employment figures, a list of product types, and the volume and value of each product processed in the previous year. Space is provided for the company to fill in new products. The survey forms are produced by NMFS Office of Science and Technology and are mailed to five different regional contacts. Each region then proceeds slightly differently: • Northeast – The distribution of forms to companies is overseen by a lead port agent. Other port agents assist with collecting information from the companies in their area. Dealer permits are not renewed if the processor has not provided the required data. • Southeast and Gulf – Forms are distributed through the Southeast Fishery Science Center to the port agents along the coast who are then responsible for obtaining the data from the companies. • Southwest and Northwest – Forms are distributed through, and returned to, the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission office under an agreement with NMFS. • Pacific Islands – Forms are distributed and collected by Pacific Islands Regional Office staff. The companies in the survey are those that have reported previously or have been found by research or word-of-mouth. Adding companies in order to have a more complete data frame is a constant goal throughout the year. 60  FUS 2015 Forms are returned to the Office of Science and Technology for data entry. Follow up contact may be attempted to clarify data that is excluded or unclear. Because the survey is voluntary, we do not receive data from every company we contact. We employ various estimation and alternate data collection methods: • Most Alaska data are obtained from the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN). • Data on Alaskan salmon processing come from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. • USDA reports provide data on rainbow trout processing and catfish data are estimated from USDA catfish production numbers. • Data from the NOAA Seafood Inspection Program are used to estimate the data for companies that have not reported to the Survey of Fishery Processors but are included in the inspection program. • Imputation is used to estimate the remaining missing companies.

DATA NOTES The weights reported in this section are the weights of individual products as imported or exported, i.e., fillets, steaks, whole, headed, etc. The reported import value is value of the product as appraised by the U.S. Customs Service according to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. This value may be based on foreign market value, constructed value, American selling price, etc. It generally represents a value in a foreign country and therefore excludes U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States. The export value is generally equivalent to the free alongside ship (f.a.s.) value at the U.S. port of export based on the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation. The value excludes the cost of loading, freight, insurance, and other charges or transportation costs beyond the port of exportation. Re-exports are commodities that have entered the United States as imports and are subsequently exported in substantially the same condition as when originally imported. These are also referred to as foreign exports or exports of foreign origin.

The total U.S. supply of imports and landings is converted to edible weight; decreases in supply, such as exports and industrial uses, are subtracted. The remaining total is divided by the U.S. population to estimate per capita consumption. Data for the model are derived primarily from secondary sources and are subject to incomplete reporting. Changes in source data or invalid model assumptions may each have a significant effect on the resulting calculation. In previous volumes of Fisheries of the United States, NOAA has reported the percent of edible seafood consumption that is made up of imports. This measure has been rising in recent years and reflects the increase in imported seafood. Using the same model assumptions, the corresponding figure for 2015 would be 90 percent. However, NMFS believes that the existing model may overestimate this percentage. The calculation is made by converting all imports, exports, domestic landings, and domestic processing into a common, standard edible meat weight. Numerous conversion factors are used to Estimated U.S. per capita consumption of fish and calculate this edible meat weight standard, and the shellfish was 15.5 pounds (edible meat) in 2015. accuracy and variability of these factors are likely to This total is an increase of 0.9 pounds from the effect the overall calculation. In addition, this figure 14.6 pounds consumed in 2014, which in turn is may include a substantial amount of domestic catch primarily due to an increase in the consumption of that was exported for further processing and returned fresh and frozen seafood. These data represent the to the United States as an import in a processed form. second consecutive year with such an increase, with Therefore, while seafood imports do appear to be the current level of fresh and frozen consumption rising, the exact figure is difficult to know. NOAA of 11.5 pounds a full pound higher than the 2013 Fisheries plans to investigate better ways to report estimate. There was also an increase in consumption consumption and indicate the Nation’s dependence of canned seafood products driven by an increase on imported seafood. in canned salmon production in 2015. Because the model used to calculate consumption does not take PER CAPITA USE into account inventories of products on hand at the Per capita use is based on the supply of fishery prodbeginning and end of the year, all production is ucts, both edible and nonedible (industrial), on a assumed to be consumed in the year it is produced. round-weight equivalent basis without considering Because the primary salmon that is canned, pink beginning or ending stocks, defense purchases, or salmon, generally has a large harvest every other year, exports. The per capita use of all edible and industrial small fluctuations in the consumption of canned fishery products in 2015 was 66.6 pounds, up 0.6 products will result. pounds compared with 2014. WORLD CONSUMPTION The FAO calculation for apparent consumption is also based on a disappearance model, but with slightly different assumptions and based on a round-weight standard. The 3-year average considers a country’s landings, imports, and exports. The average data Consumption of canned fishery products was 3.7 from 2011 to 2013, and 2012 population figures, pounds per capita in 2015, up 0.3 pounds from 2014. indicate that the U.S. now ranks as the second largest Cured fish accounted for 0.3 pounds per capita, the consumer of seafood in the world after China and same as in previous years. before Japan. Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen products was 11.5 pounds, an increase of 0.6 pounds from 2014. Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 6.5 pounds, while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 5.0 pounds per capita.

Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) 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 to 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; per capita consumption is derived by using civilian resident population.

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 ex-vessel 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 the 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 represents that sector’s 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. 95,968,369 64,752,903 46,175,725 199,159 12,751,601 - 19,630,448 6,376,558 - 5,211,030 166,483 184,829 Thousand Dollars Value of Sales by Sector 29,177,658 4,990,792 21,526 - 5,853,822 - 3,329,243 98,209 194,450 Thousand Dollars Value Added Within Sector TOTAL DOCKSIDE VALUE OF EXPORTED FISHERY PRODUCTS (& HARVEST NOT LANDED IN U.S. PORTS): TOTAL U.S. VALUE ADDED ACTIVITY: 48,656,224 CONSUMERS EXPENDITURES (& WHOLESALE PURCHASES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS) FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS: 23,246,722 28,379,139 122,401 Secondary Wholesale and Processing: Edible Industrial Retail Trade from Stores 12,751,601 - Imports, Processed Exports, Processed 22,929,003 9,935,752 Primary Wholesale and Processing Retail Trade from Food Service 6,376,558 - - Percentage of Fishery Inputs Thousand Dollars Imports, Unprocessed Exports, Unprocessed Domestic Harvest: Edible Industrial Harvest not landed in U.S Sector or Type of Activity Mark-up of fishery inputs Purchase of Fishery Inputs SUMMARY OF 2015 VALUE ADDED, MARGINS, AND CONSUMER EXPENDITURES FOR COMMERCIAL MARINE FISHERY PRODUCTS IN THE UNITED STATES (1) Value Added FUS 2015  113 Prices The Indexes of Ex-Vessel Prices table (following page) presents the annual dockside price of fish and shellfish sold by fishing vessels as a percentage of the 2009 dockside price for the same species or species group. The ex-vessel price for each year was obtained by dividing the total ex-vessel value for each species or group by its total quantity as reported in the U.S. commercial landings tables on pages 2 through 5. The index for each species or group was obtained using the following formula: †‡š ൌ ቆ 2013 would be 107, which means that the price had increased by 7 percent between 2009 and 2013. The figure below presents the percentage changes in the ex-vessel price index since 2009 for each of the following categories: edible finfish, edible shellfish, and industrial fish. The index for each category was obtained using the following formula: Sum of Current Prices by Species × 2009 Quantities by Species) ����� � � � × ��� 2009 Ex-Vessel Value Current Price ቇ ൈ ͳͲͲ 2009 Price The change in the price index for a category is the difference between the index for that year and 100, where 100 is the index for 2009. For example, a species of fish that sold for $0.75 a pound in 2011 and $1.00 a pound in 2009 would have an index of 75 in 2011, which means that the 2011 price was 75 percent of the 2009 price or 25 percent less than the 2009 price. If the price of the same species was $1.07 in 2013, the index in The year 2009 is selected as a base year to match the GDP Implicit Price Deflator determined by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis.

It also provides fishery management authority over continental shelf resources and anadromous species beyond the EEZ. The exception is when the fish are found within a foreign nation’s territorial sea or fishery conservation zone (or equivalent), to the extent that such sea or zone is recognized by the United States. The EEZ, which encompasses approximately 3.36 million square nautical miles, 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). FMPS AND PMPS Under the MSA, eight Regional Fishery 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 the NMFS Office of Law Enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard, is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations. The Secretary, when notified by the Secretary of State that any foreign nation has submitted an application under section 204(b) of the MSA, which covers only foreign fishing efforts, prepares a preliminary fishery management plan (PMP) for any fishery covered by such application if the Secretary determines that no fishery management plan for that fishery will be prepared and implemented. Under Section 304(c) of GOVERNING INTERNATIONAL FISHERY the MSA, the Secretary may also prepare an FMP AGREEMENT Under the MSA, the Secretary of State, in coopera- if a council fails to develop one.

Fisheries Information System OVERVIEW In an era of increasing pressures on our oceans, the need for data that supports sound science and effective stewardship of our living marine resources has never been greater. The mission of the Fisheries Information System (FIS) Program is to meet this need by working across the fisheries-dependent data community to facilitate access to comprehensive, high-quality, and timely information on the Nation’s fisheries. The FIS Program is a regionally driven collaboration among state and territorial marine fisheries agencies; Fisheries Information Networks; and NOAA Fisheries Headquarters, Regional Offices, and Science Centers. FIS partners work together to prioritize data improvement needs, identify potential solutions, and fund the testing, verification, and implementation of a wide array of projects and initiatives. From 2013 through 2015, FIS has provided nearly $5 million in funding divided across each NOAA region, with 2015 funds supplemented by the National Observer Program and the National Catch-Shares Program. These funds are distributed through a competitive process to state and regional teams that work to identify and promote best practices and innovative approaches for managing each step in the data lifecycle. These steps include evaluating and improving how data is collected at its source; ensuring QA/QC throughout information aggregation and analysis; enhancing the way information is managed and shared; and maximizing the value of information for marine stewardship through broader, more efficient, and more accessible dissemination. In addition to funding pilot studies, FIS convenes and supports Professional Specialty Groups (PSGs) that consist of experts from multiple disciplines and agencies, including NOAA Fisheries Headquarters, Regional Offices, Science Centers, FINs, and state partners. The role of the PSGs is to provide technical expertise about high-priority issues and identify pressing needs and emerging opportunities. Currently, there are three FIS PSGs that focus on Electronic Reporting, Quality Management, and Data Access and Dissemination. from small boat salmon fisheries to large-vessel, at-sea catcher-processors. As long as a decade ago, it was clear that the volume and value of these fisheries justified the pursuit of electronic reporting systems. However, the sheer size and geography of the state made the implementation of electronic reporting challenging. Ports are geographically dispersed and many are not accessible by road. Technical challenges, such as limited access to the Internet and even telephone service, needed to be overcome before such a system could be put into place. In 2009, FIS provided a grant to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game to study whether there was a workable electronic reporting solution for tendered fisheries. It is often impractical for fishing boats to unload at shoreside processors because of the distance separating the processing plants from the fishing grounds. Therefore, tender boats go to the fishing grounds, buy fish from different boats, and resupply the fishermen with food, fuel, and other necessities. This feasibility study found that such an electronic reporting system could be implemented and presented several options. The findings of that initial study led directly to the allocation of an additional grant by the Alaska legislature for $500,000 to develop and implement an electronic data collection system for the state’s tendered fisheries. The result was a program called tLandings, an application that enables vessels to document landings accurately and electronically at the point of tender delivery without the need for Internet service. As the adoption of tLandings has spread, additional FIS funds have been used to identify ways to streamline and integrate the data collection and reporting process between the state and industry. The tLandings system provides more timely and accurate harvest information for in-season fisheries management, as well as for long-term analysis. Starting with a small grant from FIS for a feasibility study, the tLandings program is now a widely supported, efficient electronic reporting solution for Alaska’s tendered fisheries. As of 2016, approximately 70 percent of all salmon harvest is reported electronically, representing more than 150,000 reports annually.

NOAA oversees fisheries management in the United States. Under authority of the 1946 Agricultural Marketing Act, the NOAA Seafood Inspection Program provides inspection services for fish, shellfish, and fishery products to the industry. The NOAA Seafood Inspection Program is often referred to as the U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC) Seafood Inspection Program and uses marks and documents bearing the USDC moniker. The NOAA Seafood Inspection Program offers a variety of services which assure compliance with all applicable food regulations. The Program offers sanitation inspection as well as system and process auditing in facilities, on vessels, or other processing establishments in order to be designated as official establishments. Product quality evaluation, grading and certification services are available on a product lot basis. Certain products may be eligible to bear official marks, such as the U.S. Grade A, Processed Under Federal Inspection (PUFI) and Lot Inspection. All edible product forms ranging from whole fish to formulated products, as well as fish meal products used for animal foods, are eligible for inspection and certification. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that USDC inspected fishery products be purchased for its food feeding programs. The USDC APPROVED ESTABLISHMENTS provides a listing of products and participants who contract with USDC. USERS OF INSPECTION SERVICES. The users of the voluntary seafood inspection service include vessel owners, processors, distributors, brokers, retailers, food service operators, exporters, importers, and those who have a financial interest in buying and selling seafood products. These services can be provided nationwide, in U.S. territories, and in foreign countries. The program is a competent authority within the U.S. Government for issuance of health certificates for export of fish and fishery products to foreign countries. The official government forms and certificates issued by USDC inspectors are legal documents recognized in any U.S. court. USDC INSPECTION MARKS. These marks designate the level and the type of inspection performed by the federal inspector. The marks can be used in advertising and labeling under the guidelines provided by the Seafood Inspection Program and in accordance with federal and state regulations regarding advertising and labeling. Products bearing the USDC official marks have been certified as being safe, wholesome, and properly labeled. US GRADE A MARK. The U.S. GRADE A mark signifies that a product has been processed under federal inspection in a sanitarily approved facility and meets the established level of quality of an existing U.S. grade standard. The U.S. Grade A mark indicates that the product is of high quality, uniform in size, practically free from blemishes and defects, in excellent condition and possessing good flavor and odor. PROCESSED UNDER FEDERAL INSPECTION MARK. The PUFI mark or statement signifies that the product is certified to be safe, wholesome and properly labeled, conforms to quality and other criteria in the approved specification, and has been officially inspected in a participating establishment under Federal inspection. LOT INSPECTED MARK. The USDC Lot Inspected mark identifies products that were officially sampled and inspected to conform to an approved specification or criteria. This mark may be used on retail packages and packaging provided the label and specification are approved. RETAIL MARK. Participants qualify to utilize the Retail Mark by contracting for sanitation services and associated product evaluation. Use of the retail mark gives retail firms the opportunity to advertise on banners, logos, and/or menus that their facility is recognized by the USDC for proper sanitation and handling of fishery products. USDC HACCP MARK. The USDC HACCP-based service is available to all interested parties on a fee-for-service basis. Label approval, record keeping and analytical testing are program requirements. An industry USDC-certified employee trained in HACCP principles is also required for each facility/site in the program. Compliance ratings determine frequency of official visits. Benefits to participants include increased controls through a more scientific approach, use of established marks, increased efficiency of federal inspection personnel, and enhanced consumer confidence. The USDC has made available a HACCP mark and a “banner” to distinguish products that have been produced under the HACCP-based program. The HACCP mark may be used alone or in conjunction with existing grade marks to distinguish that the product was produced under the HACCP Quality Management Program. Participants receive the marketing benefits of using the HACCP mark on brochures, banners, and company labels.
