How to run the query: You can query our data base of preliminary 2007 U.S. commercial fishery landings and summarize these data by state, species, and distance from shore. Choose (click on) a state and then click on the SUBMIT button to run the query. To view a list of the states, click on the "down-arrow" icon. Landings can only be summarized for a single state per query.

What is reported: Landings are reported in thousands of pounds and dollars and are listed by catches made in state waters (usually 0-3 nautical miles from shore), in the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone; federal waters 3-200 miles from shore), and on the high seas (> 200 miles from shore). All landings are preliminary and subject to change. The species listed by these queries are less aggregated than species listed in the NMFS annual statistical publication, "Fisheries of the United.States."

How to print: If you want to print the summarized landings data we suggest that you set your printing orientation to "landscape"; depending on your default type size, it may also be necessary to specify "no margins" when printing to insure that all data are printed. To set these printer options when using a Netscape browser: a) click on the print icon, b) then click on "setup", c) choose the landscape button listed under "Orientation", and d) click on the "Options" button and activate the "None" button under the margins group. Save and exit these options by hitting the "OK" button until you've returned to the base print menu. Another method of printing the text and format is to reduce the default font size used by your browser. When using a Netscape browser, go to "Edit", "Preferences", "Fonts", and choose a smaller font from the "Size" select lists.  Type sizes of 10 or smaller are usually adequate to allow you to print the entire text.
