           Comparisons between the top ten species in descending order of abundance by weight for U. S. commercial landings and recreational fish harvests. Does not include data for Alaska, Hawaii and Texas because no NMFS recreational surveys are conducted in those states. Menhaden, Pacific Hake, Atlantic Sea Herring and Pacific Sardine were excluded from commercial landings because they are industrial fisheries and recreational anglers do not target them.

    	   Note: Data for 1995 1998 are revised. Data on imports and exports cover the international trade of 176 countries or areas. The total value of exports is consistently less than the value of imports, probably because charges for insurance, freight, and similar expenses were included in the import value, but not in the export value. 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.

Note: Data for 1995 1998 are revised. Data for marine mammals and aquatic plants are excluded. ( 1) Only whole fish destined for the manufacture of oils and meals are included. Raw material for reduction derived from fish primarily destined for marketing fresh, frozen, canned, cured, and miscellaneous purposes is excluded; such waste quantities are included under the other disposition channels.
