Fishery Resources

The U.S. Supply of fish and seafood is global and it changes constantly as ocean conditions and the weather change, fish stocks fluctuate in size, technology advances, and the marketplace and governmental policies evolve.
The many thousands of firms that produce, process and distribute this seafood are located throughout the United States. The diversity of products and operations of these firms is reflected the wide array of different seafood available to consumers. Most are small independent, family-run companies, although increasingly more and more firms are becoming closely tied together through contracts, strategic alliances, mergers and consolidations.

Total seafood purchases in 2004 are projected at $60.9 billion, up 12 percent. Total seafood consumed in the US was 4.72 billion pounds in 2003.

Federal officials estimate that the seafood industry creates direct employment for more than 250, 000 Americans and produces food and other products that contribute $28.6 billion to the U.S. Gross National Product, as of 2001.

Also, U.S. Consumption of fishery products was 14.8 pounds of edible meat per person in 2001. Fresh and frozen finfish accounted for 5.7 pounds, while fresh and frozen shellfish consumption was 4.6 pounds per capita. Consumption of canned fishery products was 4.2 pounds per person that year. Cured fish accounted accounted for 0.3 pounds per capita.

Finally, U.S. Consumers spent about $55.3 billion for fishery products that year, including $38.2 billion in expenditures at food service establishments.
