Summaries of commercial landings and value of coastal migratory pelagic
species and their value. Attributes of vessels and boats and a cross
tabulation of permit records is also provided.

Permit data, while imperfect, is the only means to describe boats in the
commercial mackerel and some other managed fisheries. Among the 6,177 boats
with federal fishing permits in 1996, net income could be computed for 3,045
boats. Using medians, the average boat was 31 feet, 240 horsepower, grossed
$19,000 from fishing, incurred $13,000 in fishing expense, and had about
$4,000 in net income from fishing. In 1996, 3,432 boats had permits for
commercial fishing for mackerel. For the most part, they engaged in more than
one fishing activity, three or four on average, according to cross-tabulations
of boats by permit, fish sold, or gear used. Using data on fish sold and gear
used as a qualitative indicator of participation in commercial fishing for
king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, or both, an estimate of 40 to 2900 boats is
obtains, compared with 3,432 boats that had permits.

This report summarizes data on commercial landings of coastal migratory
pelagic fish for the east and Gulf coasts (Maine to Texas) in calender years
1962 to 1997.

This report describes market trends for selected finfish landed in
southeastern U.S. ports from North Carolina to Texas. Including these and
other finfish, landings of all finfish in southeastern ports totaled 2.58
billion pounds (live weight) in 1984, valued at $207 million, according to
preliminary data. This represents an increase from the 1983 landings of 2.44
