Summary
The Fisheries Statistics Division of the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has automated data summary programs
that anyone can use to rapidly and easily summarize U.S. commercial
fisheries landings.
These programs allow you to query our commercial fishery data bases
and summarize United States domestic commercial landings in several
formats. Domestic fishery landings are those fish and shellfish that
are landed and sold in the 50 states by U.S. fishermen and do not
include landings made in U.S. territories or by foreign fishermen.
You can summarize the pounds and dollar value of commercial landings
by your choice of years, months, states and species for the years
1990 onwards. The volume and value of 1950 onwards landings can
be summarized
by: years, states and species; by years, states, species and fishing
gears; or years, states, species, finfish or shellfish groups, and
price per pound.
