Forest land-total and commercial timber area, net volume of sawtimber, and net volume of growing stock, 1953,1963, and 1970. Source: U.S. Forest Service, 1953, Timber Resources for America’s Timber Trends Future, Forest Resource Report No. 14, 1958; the States, Forest Resource Report No. 17, 1965; 1970, T h e Outlook Timber in the United States, Forest Resource Report No. 20, 1973. To be classified as forest land, an area must be a t least 10 percent stocked by forest trees of any size, or formerly having had such tree cover and not currently developed for nonforest use. Includes chaparral areas in the West and afforested acres. The minimum area for classification of forest land is 1 acre. Roadside, streamside, and shoulder belt strips of timber must have a crown width a t least 120 feet wide to qualify as forest land. Unimproved roads and trails, streams, and clearings in forest areas are classed as forest if less than 120 in width. Commercial timber land is forest land which is producing or is capable of producing crops of industrial wood and not withdrawn from timber utilization by statute or administrative regulation. Includes areas suitable for management to grow crops of industrial wood generally capable of producing in excess of 20 cubic feet per acre of annual growth. Includes both accessible and inaccessible areas. Net volume of sawtimber is the net volume of the saw log portion of live sawtimber trees. A saw iog is a log meeting minimum approved log-grade specifications; or for species for which approved log are lacking, a t least 8 feet long, with a minimum diameter inside the bark of 6 inches, and with deduction for defect no greater than two-thirds the gross volume. Sawtimber trees are live trees of commercial species containing at least one saw log. Softwoods must be a t least 9.0 inches in diameter breast height, except in California, Oregon, Washington, and coastal Alaska where minimum diameter is 11.0 inches. Hardwoods must be a t least 11.0 inches in diameter in all States. Net growing stock volume is the net volume in cubic feet of live 526

sawtimber and pole timber trees from stump to a minimum 4-inch top (of central stem) outside bark or to the point where the central stem breaks into limbs. The data for 1953 and 1963 have been slightly revised from those shown in source documents to make them comparable with 1970 definitions. Gross of national forest system and other lands, 1970. Source: U.S. Forest Service, National Forest annual issues. Data are prepared from individual land transactions of the Forest Service, such as transfers from other agencies, land exchanges, purchases, and other adjustments. Gross area within unit boundaries (series L 10) prior to 1936 included the total land area within the authorized boundaries of the units formally or proclaimed as national forests. Since 1936, other lands b y the Forest Service, including national forest purchase units, experimental areas, land utilization projects, and other land units have also been included. The Federal Government seldom has complete ownership of all the land within the national forests and other units under administration of the Forest Service. Parts of such units are under private, State, county, and municipal ownership, or under the jurisdiction of a Federal agency other than the Forest Service. Gross area under Forest Service administration (series L 11)is thus the net area in the units owned b y the United States and administered b y the Forest Service. National forests comprise the largest part of this net area, accounting for 98 percent of the total in 1970. National grasslands, administered under Title of the Bankhead-Jones F a r m Tenant Act, account for most of the remainder. The source also includes statistics for States on t h e gross and net area of each national forest, purchase unit, area, land utilization area under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service.

L 12-14. Gross area approved for national forest purchase, Source: National Forest Reservation Commission, Report, annual issues. The figures for gross area approved for purchase include the total area as of June 30 within purchase units that the Secretary of Agriculture had been authorized to purchase for national forest purposes by the National Forest Reservation Commission. The source also includes statistics which show, b y States and by national forests or purchase units, the area authorized b y ehe Commission for purchase, the area purchased for national forests during each fiscal year, and the cost. L 15-23. Volume and value of timber cut from national forest system areas, 1905-1970. Source: Forest Service, unpublished data. Commercial sales (series L 17-19) include all sales from the national forests for which a charge is made. Nearly all commercial sales are made on a competitive bid basis with the sale going t o t h e highest bidder. Most sales are timber sales (series L 17-18) b u t some material not measurable in board feet is also sold from t h e national

forests (series 19). Some timber from the national forest is exchanged for land (series L 20-21) and some is disposed of under free- and administrative-use permits to settlers, miners, residents, and other similar users (series L 22-23). Information on individual transactions involving national-forest timber is available from the Forest Service. Unpublished data of national-forest stumpage sales are also available for all sales in the form of quarterly compilations classified according t o Forest Service pulpwood, saw logs, etc. regions, major species and product, For a comparison of timber production on Forest Service lands and on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, see Robert S. Future Demands on the Public Lands, vol. 111: Probable Future Demands on the Public Lands, Washington, D.C., Public Land Law Review Commission, National Technical Information Service Publication, PB 195-043.

L 28-31. Payments to States and outlying areas, 1906-1970. Source: U.S. Forest Service, unpublished data. The “25-percent fund” (series L 29) consists of payments from gross receipts of the previous fiscal year from each national forest t o the State or outlying area in which the forest is situated for the benefit of public roads and schools under an Act of May 23, 1908 (35 Stat. 260) as amended. Payments are also made from timber National Forest to Alaska for public schools receipts from the and public roads, under an Act approved July 24,1956 (70 Stat. 605). The “Arizona and New Mexico school fund” (series L 30) consists of payments made to the States of Arizona and New Mexico under an Act of June 20, 1910. From the gross receipts of the national forests in the two States, payments are made in the proportion that the area of land granted the States for school purposes within these national forests bears to the total area of all national forests within the two respective States. “Payments to State of Minnesota” (series L 31) consist of payments made under an Act of June 22, 1948 (62 Stat. 568). 32-43. Forest tree distribution and forest management programs, 1939-1970.

Source: U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Agricultural Statistics, 1967 and Under the forest tree distribution program, series 32-36, the Federal Government cooperates with State forestry agencies to distribute forest tree seedlings for forestation and windbreak purposes. Data for the forest management program, series L 37-43, are collected in the field as the tasks are accomplished, and summarized by the Forest Service. L 37, woodland owners. Defined as any private nonindustrial owner who owns from 1 acre to 5,000 acres or more of woodlands (forest land). L 38, woodland (or forest land). Defined as land bearing forest growth or land from which the forest has been removed but which shows evidence of past forest occupancy and which is not currently developed for nonforest uses. To qualify as forest, an area must be at least 120 feet wide and 1 acre in area; have a sufficient number of trees t o provide 16.7 percent crown coverage; or, lacking 16.7 percent, be likely t o remain in forest use.

Data are based upon reports submitted by the office of the State Foresters, by the Regional Foresters of the Forest Service, the Department of Interior, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The statistics obtained are for forest land and nonforested watershed lands in Federal ownership, and for State and privately-owned lands which are included in the Cooperative Forest Fire Control Program as authorized by section 2 of the Clarke-McNary Act of 1924. Protected area (series L 50-53) includes all forest lands that receive some organized fire protection. Unprotected area (series L 54-55) includes all forest lands not covered by organized fire protection. The source publication also presents information by regions and States on areas needing protection, areas protected and unprotected, and areas burned on both protected and unprotected forest land by type of ownership, and size of fires on protected areas. No field organizations are available to report fires on unprotected areas and the statistics for these areas are generally the best estimates available. Beginning 1966, when Arizona entered the Cooperative Forest Fire States. Control Program, statistics became available for all 56-71.

Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census and Bureau of Mines, Raw Materials in the United States Economy: 1900-1969, Working Paper 35, pp. 33, 35, 37, and 39. The series is based on statistics compiled by the Forest Service and the Bureau of the Census. Forest products classes were combined into three major groups: Saw logs, pulpwood, and other forest products. The other forest products series include: Veneer logs, (roundwood), other (except naval stores), turpentine, and rosin, These seven product classes, measured in physical quantity units were combined by means of unit-value weights. The basic unit values of forest products a t first point of market were supplied by the Forest Service or, for naval stores, taken from reports of the Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture. The quantity of production, imports, and exports series used were as compiled by the Forest Service and AMS, although the basic import and export series, and part of the production series were collected by the Bureau of the Census. The production series represent about 99 percent of the total value of forest products from the United States (excluding Hawaii). The major item not included is Christmas trees. (Maple syrup and maple sugar are covered in the agricultural production series rather than in forest products.) Other minor forest products excluded are tanbark, holly, mistletoe, ferns, wild nuts, and balsam. 527

FORESTRY AND

The import and export series, which represent nearly as high coverage of the total value of foreign trade in forest products, include the pulpwood equivalent of processed products, such as woodpulp, paper, and paperboard products, and such products as shingles and cork. For the consumption series in terms of broad use classes, the Forest Service provided not only the series for roundwood fuelwood which is a part of the other forest products group, but also a series of estimates for residue, fuelwood which is implicitly included in the saw logs series, as well as appropriate unit-value weights for each of these series based on sample market values of such products in various States.

Net imports of plywood and veneer (series L 79) are converted to board feet, log scale, and then to cubic-feet roundwood. The small volume of plywood and veneer imported is included under production (series L 78). 81-83.

Source: See source for series L 72-74. Domestic pulpwood production, net pulpwood imports, and the pulpwood equivalent of the net woodpulp and paper and board imports have been converted to cubic-feet roundwood on the basis of 77 cubic feet per cord.

L 72-86. General note. Industrial timber products include all products, except fuelwood, commonly cut from round sections of trees. Items such as Christmas trees, Christmas greens, naval stores, and other nontimber forest products are not included. The production, imports, and exports of timber products as reported by the Bureau of the Census, the Forest Service, trade associations, and other sources are customarily shown in a wide variety of units, such as board feet, cubic feet, cords, pieces, linear feet, and variations of these units. Appropriate factors have been used to convert the different measures of the various products to standard units of measure (cubic-feet roundwood) so that one product can be properly compared with another or that all can be combined and treated as a group. Cubic-feet roundwood is a measure of the wood volume of a log or bolt (excluding bark) from which the various products such as lumber and veneer are cut.

Source: See source for series L 72-74. “Miscellaneous production” includes cooperage logs, poles and piling, fenceposts, hewn ties, round mine timbers, box bolts, excelsior bolts, turnery bolts, shingle bolts, chemical wood, and a miscellaneous assortment of similar items. Fairly complete data are available for some of these items. For example, the Forest Service a n d t h e Bureau of the Census, either separately or jointly, published data which could be used t o estimate the annual production of cooperage logs for 1905-1911 and 1918-1919; biennially for 1919-1939; 1947 and 1952. Similar information covering about the same years was published b y these two agencies for hewn ties and poles. For some products, particularly poles, data reported by the Forest Service in cooperation with the American Wood Preservers Association in Preservation Statistics were used as an indicator of production. Production estimates for mine timbers and other miscellaneous items have been based on periodic surveys made by the Forest Service or the Bureau of the Census. Imports of these products are small.

L L 78-80. Domestic production, net imports, and apparent consumption of plywood and veneer, 1900-1970. Source: See source for series L 72-74. Data on the volume of logs consumed in the manufacture of veneers were first reported by the Bureau of the Census in 1905. Subsequently, the Bureau published data showing either log consumption or data with sufficient information on veneer or plywood production to permit the derivation of estimates of log consumption for 1911, biennially for 1919-1939,1942-1945,1947, and annually 1970. Data for all other years represent estimates derived by t h e Forest Service. Logs consumed in the manufacture of veneer have been assumed to equal domestic production although small quantities of logs, mostly hardwoods, are imported each year by the veneer industry. Veneer logs commonly reported in board feet, log scale, have been converted to cubic-feet roundwood on the basis of 170 cubic feet per 1,000 board feet. 528

Data on lumber were first collected by the Census Office in the census of 1810 (for the year Subsequently, this agency collected and published statistics on lumber production for 1819 and decennially for 1839-1899, and annually from 1904 through 1954 except in 1905, 1906, 1913, 1915-1918, 1920, and 1948. The Bureau of Crop Estimates collected and published data for 1913, and the Forest Service for all other years. For 1809-1859, only the value of lumber produced was included in the decennial reports of the Census Office, although some reference to number of mills or number of saws was often made. For 1869, 1879, and 1889, the total quantity of lumber produced was reported by States. Since 1899, lumber production has been reported in

quantity terms by States and species, although in recent years such reporting, based on sampling of the industry, has been restricted to major species and principal producing States. Prior to 1912, except for decennial censuses (when there was some field followup of nonreporting mills by field agents), lumber production figures were based upon a mail canvass of producers for the entire Nation. Since 1912, except for 1948, the census in the Western United States has been conducted by mail supplemented b y a field canvass t o obtain reports from nonrespondents. I n the Eastern States, statistics were obtained by mail canvass for 1912-1941. Since 1941, except for 1948, statistics for the East have been based either upon a complete field canvass (1942 and 1947) or upon a mail canvass supplemented by area sampling. For 1948, lumber production figures for the West were obtained by the Forest Service in cooperation with the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association and the Western Pine Association through a mail canvass, with field followup of respondents. For the East, 1948 figures are Forest Service estimates based upon data published by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and other associations. Eastern field canvasses in the early 1940’s disclosed thousands of small sawmills and many larger mills not previously included in the annual surveys. These mills collectively produced a substantial volume of lumber. Accordingly, the Forest Service prepared revised estimates of lumber production for 1904-1908,1910-1918,and 1941 designed to include the production of nonreporting mills as well as of reporting mills. The revised estimates and a description of the methodology employed in revising reported lumber production estimates also appear in the source cited above for In addition, this source presents lumber production figures prior to 1946, by species and States, and data on average value per thousand board feet for years prior to 1944. Data on lumber production by species and States are also available for 1946, 1947, and 1949-1970 in the Bureau of the Census publications cited above. Production figures for 1869-1919 as reported in the decennial were accepted as substantially correct. The censuses of figures for 1809, 1819, and 1839-1859 are estimates b y the Forest Service based on value data from the decennial reports of the Census Office (see above). The figures for 1799 and 1829 are also Forest Service estimates.

The separate and joint annual releases of the Bureau of the Census and the Forest Service were issued under the general title, “Pulp, Paper, and Board.” These data are also published by the American Paper Institute, in The Statistics of Paper, 1960 and 1971 editions, and Wood Pulp Statistics, annual issues. For nearly all years, statistics have been based upon a mail canvass of woodpulp and paper producers. Pulpwood production figures (series L 166) were reported b y the Bureau of the Census for 1869-1899 in the decennial census reports for 1870-1900. In most years since 1904, data have been published showing domestic receipts (production), imports, species, and average cost delivered a t manufacturing plants. Domestic pulpwood receipts and domestic production are considered to be synonymous. For 1946-1970, the Forest Service has published annual statistics in “Pulpwood Production in the South,” which shows pulpwood production by county and by softwoods and hardwoods in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. It has also published similar data showing pulpwood production by species in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. production figures (series L 169) were reported decennially for 1869-1889. I n 1899, 1904, 1909, 1914, and annually since 1916, woodpulp production has been reported by major grades, mechanical, sulfite, soda, sulfate, and more recently semichemical, defibrated and exploded, and special alpha and dissolving grades. Paper and board production figures (series L 172) for 1809, 1819, 1839, 1849, and 1869 are based on value data of paper production collected in the decennial censuses. Since 1870, for all years during which data were published, paper production was reported in quantity terms classified by newsprint, book paper, coarse paper, fine paper, container board, and other major grades. I n recent years the Bureau of the Census monthly report (cited above) has presented data for domestic pulpwood receipts, imports, consumption, and inventories by hardwoods and softwoods and by region. The annual summary presents these data by States. Figures for woodpulp production, inventories, and consumption, by grade are also shown in The same monthly report shows production data for nearly 60 grades of paper and paperboard for recent years; the annual summary over a longer period has shown production of the major grades of paper by States and total production for nearly 165 separate grades of paper and paperboard. 530

All national-forest prices referred to are bid prices for timber sold on a Scribner Decimal-C log scale basis, except in the Northeastern States where international log rule is used. Prices exclude timber sold by land exchanges and from land utilization project lands. Stumpage prices of private timber sales and log prices were compiled b y major species and principal producing regions during the period 1900-1934 and published by the Department of Agriculture in Technical Bulletin No. 626, Stumpage Prices of Privately Owned Timber in the United States. Comparable data for 1935-1943 and 1945 were published by the same agency in Statistical Nos. 57, 62, 66, 71, 76, 78, 79, 80, and 82. Prices shown in these publications were obtained through a mail canvass of timber sellers and buyers, such as independent loggers, sawmill operators, and other wood-using industries. The unit prices reported are of variable accuracy since exact information was lacking on timber volume, quality, accessibility and other factors that determine stumpage and log prices. These data, however, constitute a comprehensive price series on private stumpage and log prices during earlier years and are considered useful in charting general trends and timber values. Data on lumber values per thousand board feet, mill, are available for specified years in the Department of Agriculture Miscellaneous Publication No. 669, Lumber Production in the United Stales, 1799-1946. Data on lumber prices and price indexes have also been published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics since 1890. The publications of the Bureau of Labor Statistics vary in detail from year to year but, in general, give the average price, mill, or at some stated delivery point, for various species of lumber, by grade for major species. (For further detail on Bureau of Labor Statistics data, see text for series L 206-210). Douglas-fir figures (series L 199) for 1910-1931 represent nationalforest timber sales of all species in Washington and Oregon; €or 1941 and all species western Washington and western Oregon; and for 1944-1956, national forest and Bureau of Land Management sales, Douglas-fir only, in western Washington and western Oregon. Southern pine figures (series L 200) for 1910-1934 are stumpage prices of privately owned second growth southern pine timber as reported in Department of Agriculture Technical Bulletin No. 626, Stumpage Prices of Privately Owned Timber in the States; for national-forest timber sales for all southern species (most of which, however, were southern pine); and for 1950-1970, nationalforest timber sales for southern pine only. Sugar and ponderosa pine figures (series L 201 and L 202) represents national-forest timber sales for these species in California.

These data are derived from reports of payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers in manufacturing, and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining private nonagricultural components. Production and related workers include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including and trainees) engaged fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product development, auxiliary power plant), and recordkeeping production for plant’s own use and other services closely associated with the above production operations. Average hourly earnings are on a “gross” basis, reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan. Shifts in the v o l u m e of employment between relatively high-paid and low-paid work a n d changes in workers’ earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings a r e the actual return t o the worker for a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of work or time.

Chapter

(Series L 224-370. General note. Fisheries data were largely compiled or derived from publications of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Additional detail can be found the in these publications and in those of predecessor agencies Bureau of Fisheries] Department of Commerce, prior to July 1940; the Commission of Fish and Fisheries prior to 1904; and the Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Department of Interior, prior to October 1970). Statistical canvasses relating t o the fishing industry carried out in 1880 and 1908 were made in conjunction with the Bureau of the Census (and predecessor agencies) and were published as Senate Document No. 124, 47th Congress, 1887, and as a Bureau of the Census Special Report, 1911, respectively. Since 1941, preliminary figures on many present and historical aspects of the fisheries have been published by the NMFS in the form of leaflets entitled Current Fishery Statistics. Final and more detailed figures are published by the NMFS as comprehensive Alaska Fishery annual Statistical Digests and in Annual Reports and Fur-Seal Industries (last printing was in 1955 for the latter). The first comprehensive statistical study of the fisheries and fishery industries of nearly all the United States was made for the year 1880 by the U.S. National Museum with the cooperation of the Commission of Fisheries and the Superintendent of the Tenth Census. The first complete statistical canvass of the entire United States was made for 1908 by the Bureau of the Census. The next general survey of the entire United States was not made until 1931. Periodic genera1 surveys of a limited number of States or areas were made for the years from 1881 t o 1907 and from 1909 to 1930. Various sections were surveyed during the years 1932 to 1949. A complete survey of all sections of the country was made for 1950. Since then all of the coastal areas have been canvassed annually. Annual surveys of the Mississippi River and its tributaries have been continuous since 1962. Since 1954 all sections of the United States were canvassed to provide complete data on the wholesale and manufacturing segments of the fisheries industries. While extended series for successive years are lacking for most regions of the United States, there are long continuous records available for landings a t certain important ports or for certain species. The latter have been collected in connection with annual surveys of canned fish and industrial products. Data on the production of canned fishery products and industrial fishery products have been collected annually for all regions since 1921, while information was obtained on the production of packaged fish for 1926 and annually since 1928. The coastal statistical surveys include canvasses of the commercial ocean waters and bays fisheries of the contiguous and the United States and as far up the coastal rivers commercial fishing is conducted. The Mississippi River region includes tributaries thereof. The Great Lakes region encompasses the bays thereof, the international lakes of northern Minnesota] and the rivers emptying into these waters. Several methods for the collection of fishery statistics have been employed. Where data were not available from some central private or public source, canvassing both by interview and by correspondence has been used to secure the required information from fishing vessel owners and operators, wholesale dealers, and manufacturers of fishery products. Since 1946, a growing number of State fishery agencies have developed independently, or in cooperation with the NMFS, relatively complete systems chiefly with respect to fish catch statistics which greatly facilitate the surveys in those States. In such instances, the

NMFS conducts only supplementary surveys to make the catch statistics comparable with those of other States and to secure additional wholesale and manufacturing data. Securing fishery statistical data by the Federal fishery agencies has been on a nonmandatory basis. Until 1951, all statistics of the Alaska fisheries were collected canvass of the industry chiefly through correspondence. Subsequently, catch statistics have been compiled from copies of dealer purchased from individual fishermen invoices for fish and that are required by to be furnished to the NMFS. This procedure, first instituted b y California in 1917, is becoming more generally used in a number of coastal States, and is improving the source materials available for the compilation of national statistics by the Federal Government. Statistics on commercial landed catches of fish are usually shown in the published reports as round salable weight, being converted t o such a common basis b y established conversion factors. I n the Great Lakes States, catches a r e usually shown in weights landed, which may be in the round or eviscerated condition. Oyster, clam, and clam-like shellfish data are usually expressed in amounts of coverable meats. Crabs, shrimps, squid, and octopus landings are shown in round weights. Whaling production from land-based plants in the United States is included in the total of fish production series L 224 and L 244. These land-based plants have not produced more than 17 million pounds of whale products in any year of record in this report. These series do not include the high-seas production of whale products either in this or in the previous century. The yield is expressed in terms of the weight of products produced, not the live weight of the whales. dollar returns to catching The values of the landed catches are vessels and fishermen. T h e value of processed or manufactured items is that by the manufacturer. Data are usually collected and published on a calendar-year basis, although compilations for some States are on a fiscal-year basis. Statistics of landed catches do not include either the marine or freshwater catches made for personal use including those by Indian populations, or for sport, or landings by foreign fishing in U.S. ports, or imports. They include catches by U.S. fishing vessels landed in foreign ports for transshipment in bond to the United States. Since 1942, the commercial catches have been credited t o the port at which they were landed. Prior to that time the entire annual catch of a vessel was credited to the port out of which the majority of its yearly operations were conducted, regardless of the actual point of landing. Due to the generally broad regional grouping of the data shown here, the effectof the change in method of crediting yields upon the trends of landings has, for the most part, been insignificant. While neither method provides completely satisfactory information as to the approximate location of the fishing grounds producing the landed catches, the present practice permits closer estimates than the former. All general references t o fish include fish, shellfish, and other marine or freshwater products including those of the land-based segment of the U.S.whaling industry. products of which enter Fisheries outside the United States, the domestic market duty-free, are those of American Samoa and the Fisheries of these areas are not Commonwealth of Puerto subject to Federal control and are not included in the series shown here unless otherwise indicated. Total commercial production in these fisheries is of relatively small magnitude. Canned tuna for the market the chief commercial item produced in American Samoa.

Since 1880, complete or partial surveys have been made of the various regions of the United States, except for the Mississippi River, with sufficient frequency to produce satisfactory annual estimates of the yield and value of the U.S. fisheries. Due to the relative stability and low magnitude of the Mississippi River production, the inclusion of interpolated estimates for that region do not significantly affect the national totals. Prior t o 1921, except for 1909-1914, Taylor provides a well validated and statistically satisfactory series of annual figures by summation of critically adjusted and interpolated data based upon various individual State and regional data published by the Bureau of Fisheries or its predecessor, the Commission of Fish and Fisheries. No statistically satisfactory national totals can be provided for 1909 to 1914 (Taylor). A satisfactory Alaska total is provided by J. N. Cobb, Products of the Commercial Fisheries of the United States, American Fisheries Society Transactions, XLVIII, which, added to Taylor’s 1917 total, provides a combined total for that year. Prior to 1908, records of salt fish were not converted to equivalent fresh round weights except for 1880. It was estimated (Taylor) that least 20 percent of the national such salt fish in 1887 represented total catch of food-fish species. By 1920, this proportion had declined to about 1 percent. Estimated corrections back to 1908 (derived from Taylor, figure 7, p. 379) have been added to the estimates of national totals (Taylor, p. 480). Statistics on foreign fishery trade are obtained from compilations made by the Bureau of the Census. Statistics on all known imported or exported fishery products have been assembled and published annually since 1924. For earlier years figures are available in reports of the Census Bureau and predecessor agencies. See also general note for series L

Regional totals prior to 909 include cured fish in terms of product weights and not round weights used for figures in series L 224, In spite of deficiencies arising from interpolating values over periods during which no canvasses were made in some regions, it is probable that these figures provide statistically satisfactory estimates of the trends of quantity and value of landed catches of all species combined in the several regions. The annual and secular changes for the various regions have resulted from changes in composition of the catches from time to time. These changes may be deduced from the figures for series L Since only seven surveys were made of the Mississippi River fisheries during the period from 1899 to 1955, no extended production records are available for the principal species of the Mississippi River region. During that period, buffalo fish, bullheads and catfish combined, and mussel shells for the button industry, provided a n average of 1 5 percent, 12 percent, and 42 percent, respectively, of the total recorded average annual production in this region. After reaching a high point of 82 million pounds in 1908, freshwater mussel-shell production has shown a declining trend to 7 million pounds in 1969. See also general note for series L 224-370.

State and Federal agencies in this region, due in part to the consistent support by the fishing industry, have maintained the most continuous and probably the most accurate series of fisheries statistics of any region in the United States. The landed catches include both those from waters contiguous to the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington, and waters off foreign shores; tuna from waters off South and Central America; salmon and halibut from waters off Canada. Also, a large proportion of the landed catch of the halibut comes from waters off Alaska. See also general note for series L 224-370. L

The halibut figures (series L 289) include catches landed by U.S. vessels in the railhead port of Prince Rupert, Canada, for shipment in bond t o the United States, as has also been the practice in the published compilations by Federal fishery agencies. The major portion of the Alaska herring catch has been used for reduction to meal and oil except during the period 1912 to 1922 when salting and canning predominated. Such direct use as a food fish has since declined and practically disappeared after 1948. The variety and changing emphasis in the products reported produced each year and the problem of converting such diverse products to a common raw fish value reduced the usefulness of the originally published total catch statistics. These have been revised from time to time (see Sette who appraised the revisions of such workers as fell up to 1928 and Skud more recently). See also general note for series L 224-370.

The fresh and frozen catch figures (series L 307) should be considered only as rough estimates since they were derived as residuals of the total catch figures (series L 305, same as series L 224) and the canned, cured, and industrial catch figures (series L 308, L 309, 310). Canned catch figures (series L 308) represent a computed amount of fish or other aquatic organisms that were heat processed in cans. Cured products figures (series L 309) represent an estimated amount of fish and other living aquatic animals that were dried or dehydrated, smoked, or pickled. Industrial products figures (series L 310) represent the weights of fish and other aquatic products determined to have been manufactured into fish meal, oil, fish solubles, homogenized condensed fish, shell products, or used as bait or for animal food, and other miscellaneous items. U.S. production may also be classified according to type of products whether crustacea such as crabs, shrimps, lobsters; mollusks such as oysters, clams, squid; fresh-water organisms; bottom or demersal marine fish; surface or pelagic marine fish; and such miscellaneous products as turtles, seaweeds, and other items, not including whale products.

Five species of the genus Oncorhynchus are sockeye (red), chinook (king), coho (silver), pink, and chum and also an extremely small proportion of steelhead trout of the genus L Pacific sardines. (Standard case, 48 cans of ounces net weight each.) The Pacific sardine is also known as the pilchard. Prior to 1937, the magnitude of the pack was determined in part by the proportion of the total catch that was permitted by California State law to be used for reduction to meal and oil. A California State law in 1967 established a two-year moratorium on the taking of sardines in California waters, excepting an allowable tolerance for sardines taken incidentally in mixed catches of mackerel. In 1969, the moratorium was continued indefinitely. L Maine sardines. (Standard case, 100 cans 3-3/4 ounces net weight each.) The Maine sardine is also known as the Atlantic sea herring. L tuna. (Standard case, 48 cans of 6, or 7 ounces net weight per can for flakes or grated, chunks, and solid packs,

spectively.) Includes the canned pack of the true tuna species, albacore, yellowfin, bluefin, skipjack, and 348-349, oysters. (Standard case, 48 cans of 4-2/3 ounces drained weight each.) 350-351, shrimp. (Standard case, 24 cans of ounces net weight each.) L 352-353, anchovies. (Standard case, cans of 5 ounces net weight each.)

L 354-355, mackerel. (Standard case, 48 cans of 15 ounces net weight each,) The production consists of Jack and Chub (Pacific) mackerel of California. L 356-357, animal food. (Standard case, 48 cans of 16 ounces net weight each.) Consists largely of pet and animal food derived from groundfish species and parts of other fish unsalable for human use or of species of low market value as human food. L 358-361.

Production and value of dried fish meal and scrap, acidulated scrap, fish and other marine oils, and imports of fish meal, 1921-1970.

Source: 1921-1938, U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, Fishery Industries the United States, annual issues; U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and predecessor agenries, Fishery Statistics of the United States, annual Statistical Digests. I n contrast to series L 224, L 244, and others which included the products of U.S. land-based whaling, series L 362 and L 364 include the meal and oil yields from the United Antarctica and West Australia factory-ship whaling in 1935-1939. Since 1941, the acidulated product of the menhaden fishery has been a negligible proportion of the total production of scrap and meal and it is not separated in the recorded statistics of the industry after 1946. Acidulation of the wet menhaden press cake after removal of the oil was an alternative preservative process t o drying. Since sometimes carried out as a temporary measure prior to drying at a later and more propitious time, it is probable t h a t some of the tonnage of acidulated scrap may have been subsequently also reported as dried scrap leading to some duplication of reported tonnage in the earlier years.

engaged in the operation since 1867 had expired early in 1910. The 1918 take was the first treaty take out of which Japan and Canada each received a 15-percent share for relinquishing all rights to pelagic sealing in the eastern North Pacific. Russia had not been previously engaged in pelagic sealing. With the abrogation of the treaty by Japan in 1940, Canada’s share was increased to 20-percent under the Provisional Fur-Seal Agreement of 1942 as amended. Management of the fur seal herd has been determined by a policy of taking pelts of those animals that are considered surplus to breeding requirements and that have highest quality skins. These desirable seals are principally the 3- and 4-year-old males. Scientists managing the herd believe that it can be maintained a t an optimum level by keeping a male-female ratio which will produce about 500,000 pups each year. The present (1970) 1.5 million animals is large enough t o sustain the seal population. Available knowledge on the total size of the Pribilof Islands seal herds, the high value of the skins and the fact that specified shares (15 percent) of the take were conveyed under treaty t o Japan and Canada has ensured the accuracy of the record of annual takes. The U.S.S.R. does not share in the take even though it was a party to the treaty. Study of the Alaska See also Fish and Wildlife Service, A

See also Norway Committee for Whaling Statistics, International Whaling NOS. 1-15, 1930-1941. Present century participation by the United States in the whaling industry has been relatively inconsequential compared to that of other countries and to the American high-seas whaling of the past century. It has been largely restricted to land-based operations chiefly in Alaska and to a lesser extent in Washington, terminating in each in 1939 and 1925, respectively, and to operations in California from time to time for 1918-1970. In 1969, the International Whaling Commission recommended that all member countries establish quotas for the commercial catch of fin and whales because of the danger of extinction. The U.S. quota was set at 44 fin whales and 60 whales; no quota was set for sperm whales, the other important whale in the U.S. catch. See also general note for series L 224-370.
