Get fishery landingsRead what US fishermen landed, year by year: the pounds brought to the dock and what they sold for, for one species or every species together, in one state, one region or the whole country. Choose recreational to get what anglers kept instead, as weight and number of fish. Defaults to the last ten years NOAA has published, and says how much the value changed and which year was the peak. Figures withheld for confidentiality are counted and never taken for zeros.
Rank the species landedRank the species landed in a state, a region or the whole country in one year, by what they sold for, by weight, or for recreational catch by the number of fish kept. Each comes with its share of the total, and the landings pooled for confidentiality are reported beside the ranking rather than ranked as a species. Defaults to the newest year NOAA has.
Rank the states landing a speciesFind where one species is landed: every state that landed it in one year, ranked by what it sold for or by weight, with each state's region and share of the national total. Choose recreational to rank the states whose anglers kept the most. Defaults to the newest year NOAA has.
Get seafood imports or exportsRead US seafood imports or exports over a stretch of months: the weight, the value and the value per kilogram, month by month, with the ten largest countries and products. Narrow it to a product (shrimp, salmon fillet, a tariff code) and a country. Defaults to imports over the latest twelve months the Census Bureau has published, which trail by about two months.
Rank seafood trading partnersRank the countries the US bought seafood from, or sold it to, in one calendar year, by value or by weight, with each country's continent, price per kilogram and share. Name a product to rank the partners for it alone, such as shrimp. Defaults to imports in the last full year.
Find traded seafood productsFind the traded products whose names contain a word, such as every salmon product, with their 10-digit tariff codes, NOAA's product group, whether they are food, and what was traded in one year, largest first. Trade is counted by product rather than species, so this is how to find the right name or code to pass to the other trade actions.
Get processed seafood productionRead what US seafood processors produced each year, from NOAA's annual survey of every processor: fillets, steaks, fish sticks and portions, breaded shrimp, canned seafood, meal and oil, product by product, in pounds and dollars. Narrow it to a kind of product or a species. Defaults to the last ten years.
Get Alaska survey catchRead how much of one fish or invertebrate an Alaska bottom trawl survey caught in a year: how many of its hauls caught any, the total weight and count, and its average density per square kilometre over every haul, which is the number scientists track a stock by. Covers the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands surveys. Turn on stations to map where it was caught.
Get Alaska survey conditionsRead the water an Alaska bottom trawl survey found, year by year: the mean, coldest and warmest bottom temperature, the share of hauls in water below 2 °C (the Bering Sea's cold pool, which decides where fish and crab can live), the surface temperature, depth and dates. Defaults to the last ten survey years.
Find a documented vesselLook up vessels in the Coast Guard's register of documented vessels, the ones of five net tons and more: by name, documentation number, call sign or IMO number, narrowed by kind of vessel and home state. Each comes with its home port, length, tonnage, year built, builder, hull, engine power and whether its documentation is valid and until when.
Find a speciesFind species in NOAA Fisheries' species list by common or Latin name, with the number FOSS files each under, the name as its data writes it, its family, whether it is finfish or shellfish, its habitat, whether it is protected and whether FOSS reports landings for it. Use it to find the exact species before reading landings.
