INTERNATIONAL FISHERY REPORTS: 



The NMFS Office of International Affairs prepares about 100 International Fishery 

 Reports (IFRs) annually describing foreign fishery developments. The reports generally 

 concentrate on Mexico, Canada, the European Community, and Japan, but many other 

 countries are covered as well. Topics include major species (shrimp, salmon, and others), 

 country overviews, agreements, trade, aguaculture, and other topics. The 1991-92 

 research program focused heavily on shrimp aquaculture; reports are available on the 

 shrimp culture industries of China, Thailand, Ecuador, and most other important world 

 producers. Other major reports deal with Mexican shrimp, Alaska pollock, U.S. fisheries 

 trade with various countries, and joint venture in salmon hatcheries between Russia and 

 Japan. 



MARKET NEWS INFORMATION: 



The National Marine Fisheries Service collects market information at principal ports 

 around the nation. Depending on the fishery and region, weekly, monthly, or seasonal 

 statistics and information on ex-vessel landings and prices; wholesale prices; cold storage 

 holdings; U.S. trade, and trade leads are published three times a week in the NMFS 

 Market News Report. Also published are similar statistics for the Japanese market and 

 information on changes in Federal Fish Management Regulations. 



The information listed above is distributed for NMFS under contract by a private 

 publishing company. Interested individuals or companies can obtain a list of available 

 reports, information, and prices by contacting:
