Every year for over a century, NOAA Fisheries has compiled and published <em>Fisheries of the United States<\/em>, a comprehensive and technical yearbook of U.S. marine fisheries, including statistics on recreational and commercial fishing, marine aquaculture, seafood trade data, seafood disposition and seafood consumption. If fishery questions ever made <em>Trivial Pursuit<\/em>, I bet the boardgame would draw from this series of government reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Research Need<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compiling the same types of data for recreational fisheries on an annual basis allows scientists to make comparisons and analyze trends. It also takes a lot of time. That\u2019s why today, in early May 2020, we can only look at data collected in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, if you want to know more about 2018 recreational data specifically from North Carolina, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/hooklinescience\/2019\/09\/23\/did-2018s-hurricanes-curtail-nc-saltwater-angling\/\">previous post<\/a>. After all, the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries collects most of the North Carolina data that goes into the national report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, who\u2019s fishing the most \u2014 and, more importantly, who catches the most fish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"715\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/hooklinescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/HLS-fisheries-info-Picture1-715x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/hooklinescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/HLS-fisheries-info-Picture1-715x1024.png 715w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/hooklinescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/HLS-fisheries-info-Picture1-210x300.png 210w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/hooklinescience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/HLS-fisheries-info-Picture1.png 762w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Did They Find?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About 8.5 million anglers took 194.5 million saltwater fishing trips in 2018 and caught 956 million fish.

Data from Alaska was not available for the report, but even if Alaska sport-fishing data were included, it would not have changed the standings. A look back at the last 5 years reveals similar trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvest and effort have decreased over the past five years, while the proportion of catch&nbsp;released continues to rise. Spotted seatrout and Atlantic croaker comprise 10% of&nbsp;the total catch nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accompanying infographics from NOAA Fisheries show other trends, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anything else?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These statistics provide a great snapshot of the status of our fisheries \u2013 but we should look at them with other biological, social, and economic factors to get a better picture of total ecosystem and ocean health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fisheries of the United States 2018<\/em>.
