The annual report provides a summary of the economic performance of U.S. marine fisheries and related industries and their important role in our nation's economy.

Report Overview

Fisheries Economics of the United States provides an accessible summary of the economic performance of U.S. commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries, and other marine-related industries. Of key importance to stakeholders, the report describes how U.S. marine fisheries affect the economy in terms of commercial and recreational economic impacts.

Covering a 10-year period, the report provides statistics on:

  • Commercial Fisheries and the Seafood Industry — Landings, revenue, and trends
  • Recreational Fisheries — Fishing effort, participation rates, and expenditure information
  • Marine-Related Industries — Employer and non-employer establishment, payroll, and annual receipt information
  • Economic Impacts — Commercial and recreational employment, sales, income, and value-added impacts
