Section 26
Fisheries

This section presents statistics relating to quantity, value, species, and disposition of fish caught for commercial purposes, and to fishery products. The principal sources of such data are the annual report, Fishery Statistics of the United States, and the monthly and annual bulletins in the Current Fishery Statistics series published by the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior.

The Fish and Wildlife Service conducts annual surveys of the fishery industries. Results from the surveys include data on the quantity and value of the catch of individual species of fish, employment in fisheries, gear operated, fishing and transporting craft used, employment in wholesale and manufacturing establishments, and the volume and value of production of manufactured fishery products. In addition, the reports include data on imports, exports, freezings, and cold storage holdings of fishery products; and monthly landings in most coastal States, and in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Information is also collected covering shad fisheries of the Hudson and Potomac Rivers; alewife fisheries of the Potomac; seed oyster fisheries; Pacific Coast halibut fisheries; New England offshore fisheries; South Atlantic and Gulf shrimp fisheries; the fur seal industry of the Pribilof Islands; and the Pacific Coast whaling industry.

The first comprehensive survey of fisheries and fishery industries of the United States was made for the year 1880, although it did not include the Mississippi River and its tributaries. A complete survey of the United States was conducted in 1908 by the Bureau of the Census and again in 1931 by the Bureau of Fisheries, then in the Department of Commerce. Various sections of the country have been surveyed from time to time. A complete survey of all sections, including manufacturing and wholesaling operations, was made for 1950. Beginning in 1954, complete data have been collected annually, except for a portion of the Mississippi River and its tributaries in 1961.

A report on the 1963 Census of Commercial Fisheries was released by the Bureau of the Census in 1966. It presents statistics on the number of commercial fishing operators, receipts from fishing activities, employment, vessels operated, value of catch, and fishing gear.
