This data set contains annual quantities and value for all seafood products that are landed and sold by established seafood dealers and brokers in the Southeast Region (North Carolina through Texas). These types of data, referred to as the general canvass landings statistics, have been collected by the NOAA Fisheries Service, National Marine Fisheries Service and its predecessor agency, the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The data are available on computer since the early 1960's. The quantities and values that are reported in this data set include the annual landings that were initiated in 1962. Beginning in 1976, the data were collected monthly. See the sections on Links for the reference to the monthly general canvass landings.
The annual general canvass landings include quantities and value for all living marine species and are identified by species (usually the local or common name). These data were collected by field agents employed by the National Marine Fisheries Service or the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and assigned to local fishing ports. The agents contacted the majority of the seafood dealers or brokers in their assigned areas and recorded the quantities and value for each species or species category from the sales receipts maintained by the seafood dealers. In addition, information on the gear and area of capture is available for most of the landings statistics in the data set. Based on their knowledge of the fishing activity in the area, the agents would estimate the type of fishing gear and area where the fishing was likely to have occurred. More detailed information on the caveats associated with these data is provided in the Characteristics, Caveats and Issues section. However, because these data are summaries, they do not contain information on the quantities of fishing effort or identifications of the fishermen or vessels that caught the fish or shellfish.
One of the original purposes for these data was to provide estimates of the quantities and value of the marine commercial fishing industries throughout the United States as part of the gross national product for the nation. As the fishing industry continued to grow, the importance of this time series became obvious as a method to monitor the trends in commercial fishing activity. Although the initial methods of collecting the general canvass statistics have been replaced with the states? trip ticket programs, monthly summaries from the states? programs are provided to the Southeast Fisheries Science Center in order to maintain the time series established by the general canvass data set.
In addition to trends in landings statistics, the general canvass landings data provide comprehensive statistics for the total quantities of marine resources that are caught and brought ashore (landed) for all species in the Southeast Region.

CAVEATS for SPECIES (NMFS_CODE): Some records are identified by generic categories, e.g., snappers, groupers, sharks, etc. and not by individual species. This is especially true for data collected in the earlier years. When long-term trends are required for individual species, adjustments or allocations of the landings for the generic categories need to be made. Examples of these types of analyses can be found in the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR) reports. See the address provided in the URLs section.

CAVEATS FOR SPECIES#2: Aquarium species and live rock landings are not included in the general canvass data. These data are available from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Institute of Marine Resources, St. Petersburg, Florida. **Plans are being made to include these in the future; however, this will be for the later years (1990's on).

CAVEATS for POUNDS: All landed quantities are converted to live or whole weight with the exceptions of oysters and clams, which are converted to pounds of meat. Florida data are reported and stored in landed weight until the end of 1985, after which they are converted to whole weight. Conversion factors are used by the data suppliers to convert landings to whole weight pounds. Generally, these follow standards established in a NMFS Memo `Conversion Factors' issued January 12, 1987; however, conversion factors from Texas and North Carolina may vary from the official NMFS factors. The Texas and North Carolina conversion factors for are available from the states. Care must be used when converting these data back to landed weight. If the original conversion factors are not employed the weight will vary from that of the data supplier. The State of Florida uses the NMFS standard set of factors but applies them according to the typical landed condition of the for most fish species. Florida collects a landed condition for shellfish and for some baitfish.

NOTES on Catch Area (WATERBODY): Fishing area information is located in the `WATERBODY' column and is recorded as statistical grids (sometime referred as stat zones). The grids in the Atlantic are formed by the degrees of latitude and longitude. Thus, the statistical grids are approximately 60 miles by 60 miles or about 3,600 square miles. In the Gulf of Mexico the grids are more irregular, bordered by one or several degrees of latitude and longitude. Within the coastal grids there are usually many specific catch areas. Numeric codes of 4 digits are assigned to all catch areas. In the Atlantic the grid or stat zone indicator occupies the first 3 digits of the code while in the Gulf of Mexico the grid indicator occupies the 2 middle digits. Catch areas that occur within the grids are coded with the grid code along with additional coding in the 1st and 4th digit (Gulf) and in the 4th digit (Atlantic). There are also records with general catch areas such as `Gulf of Mexico', `Atlantic Ocean', `Unknown', and a few others. Users must be careful to query for the catch areas accordingly. There is a REGION code that identifies the catch area as Atlantic (4), Gulf (5), or Caribbean (9). These are useful in data retrieval of catch area data. Use the ALSSTATE and NMFSCOUNTY fields to retrieve landings for the area landed, and use the `REGION' and `WATERBODY' fields to retrieve landings by catch area. The validation table for water body codes contains the conversions and definition for each species. The table name is ALS.ALS_WATERBODY_OLD_NEW_XREF. Information on that table, maps, and historical documentation are provided under `Related Items'.
