2017 Census of Agriculture Introduction V USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Introduction

The 2018 Census of Aquaculture expands the aquaculture data collected from the 2017 Census of Agriculture and provides a current and comprehensive picture of the aquaculture sector at the State and national levels. The aquaculture census collects detailed information relating to production methods, surface water acres and sources, production, sales, point of first sale outlets, and aquaculture distributed for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes. HISTORY The 2018 Census of Aquaculture is the fourth national census conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), to collect data about the industry. The first aquaculture census was conducted in 1998, in response to the intense need for an accurate measure of the aquaculture sector. The second and third aquaculture censuses were conducted in 2005 and 2013, respectively. Since 1974, the census of agriculture has collected limited aquaculture data. USES OF CENSUS OF AQUACULTURE DATA The census of aquaculture data are needed by all those involved in the aquaculture sector – Federal, State, and local governments, agribusinesses, trade associations, producers, and many others. Some needs of the data include: • Growers need census data to make informed

decisions about the future of their own operations, including whether or not to expand production, and to compare production volumes and pricing points with State and U.S. averages.

• Aquaculture businesses and suppliers need the facts and figures to determine the best locations for facilities that serve producers and to plan production and marketing of new products.

• Legislators need census numbers to shape policies and programs, and to evaluate and determine government funding and resources. Extension and university representatives need the data to determine research needs and to justify research funding and programs to develop new and improved methods of aquaculture production and profitability.

AUTHORITY The census of agriculture is required by law under the "Census of Agriculture Act of 1997," Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section 2204g). The law authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct surveys deemed necessary to furnish annual or other data on the subjects covered by the census. The 2018 Census of Aquaculture was conducted under the provisions of this section. FARM DEFINITION Aquaculture is defined as the farming of aquatic organisms, including baitfish, crustaceans, food fish, mollusks, ornamental fish, sport or game fish, and other aquaculture products. Farming involves some form of intervention in the rearing process, such as seeding, stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. Farming also implies individual or corporate ownership of the stock being cultivated, in a controlled environment at least part of the time. Fish, shellfish, and other aquatic products which are caught or harvested by the public from non-controlled waters or beds are considered wild caught and are NOT included as aquaculture farms. In addition, aquatic plants, except algae and sea vegetables, are not considered as aquaculture for the census of aquaculture. For the 2018 Census of Aquaculture, an aquaculture farm is defined as any place from which $1,000 or more of aquaculture products were produced and sold or produced and distributed for

restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreation during the census year. DATA COMPARABILITY Data definitions are comparable between the 2018 and 2013 aquaculture censuses, with the exception that during the 2018 Census of Aquaculture, questions pertaining to water source, size of operation, and methods of production in the report form were asked of all operations and not just operations with sales. In 2013, operations that solely produced and distributed aquaculture for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes were instructed to complete only Section 13, Aquaculture Produced and Distributed. Dollar figures are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation. For additional information, see Appendix A. Specific data changes in 2018 are listed in Appendix B. TABLES AND APPENDICES Tables. Table 1 shows the number of farms and the market value of aquaculture products sold for the U.S. and each State. Tables 2, 3, 6 and 7 provide summaries of aquaculture products sold by species and size category at the U.S. level. Tables 4, 5, and 8 provide summaries of aquaculture products sold by species at the U.S. level. Table 9 provides a summary by value of aquaculture products sold at the U.S. level. Tables 10, 11, and 12 present data items for operations producing aquaculture products at the U.S. and State level. This includes operations with sales and operations which produced and distributed aquaculture products for conservation, recreation, enhancement, or restoration purposes. Tables 13 through 20 present selected data items for operations with sales of aquaculture products at the U.S. and State level. Table 21 presents the percent of aquaculture product sales by the first point of sales. Tables 22 and 23 provide information by species for operations that distributed aquaculture products for conservation, recreation, enhancement, or restoration purposes. Table 22 is at the U.S. level; Table 23 is at the U.S. and State level. Table 24 provides data for acres used for hybrid catfish production at the U.S. and State level. Throughout the publication average weight and average price data are published. These values are based on the number of fish sold, pounds sold, and total sales at the U.S. and State level.

Average weight and average price data may vary considerably among farms due to different size, use, or marketing channels. Appendix A. Provides information about the statistical methodology, including data collection and data processing activities, used in conducting and evaluating the census. Appendix B. Includes definitions of terms used in this publication, including items in the publication tables that carry the note “see text.” It also provides facsimiles of the report form and instruction sheet used to collect data. RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the United States Code, no data are published that would disclose information about the operations of an individual farm unless there is specific written permission. All tabulated data are subjected to an extensive disclosure review prior to publication. Any tabulated item that identifies data reported by a respondent or allows a respondent's data to be accurately estimated or derived, was suppressed and coded with a 'D'. However, the number of farms reporting an item is not considered confidential information and is provided even though other information is withheld. SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM TABULATIONS

Special studies such as the 2018 Census of Aquaculture and the 2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey are part of the census program and provide supplemental information to the 2017 Census of Agriculture in the respective subject area. Results are published on the internet. Custom-designed tabulations may be developed when data are not published elsewhere. These tabulations are developed to individual user specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis and shared with the public. Quick Stats, NASS’s online database that allows data users to build customized queries, should be investigated before requesting a custom tabulation. All special studies and custom tabulations are subject to a thorough disclosure review prior to release to

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 1 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A Statistical Methodology

The purpose of a census is to enumerate all objects with a defined characteristic. For the census of aquaculture, that goal is to account for any farm or operation from which $1,000 or more of aquaculture products were produced and sold, or produced and distributed for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes during the census year. To do this, NASS creates a mail list of aquaculture operations that potentially meet the farm definition, collects aquaculture information from those operations, reviews the data, corrects or completes the requested information, and combines the data to provide information on the characteristics of aquaculture farm operations at the national and State levels. In this appendix, these census processes are described. THE CENSUS POPULATION The target population for the census of aquaculture was composed of all aquaculture farm operations that reported any amount of aquaculture activity on their 2017 Census of Agriculture report form. An effort was made to identify additional aquaculture operations of significance from new sources. DATA COLLECTION Method of Enumeration The 2018 Census of Aquaculture was conducted primarily by mail. It was supplemented with Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) via the Internet, telephone calls, and personal enumeration. Enumeration methods were similar to those used in the 2013 Census of Aquaculture. Report Forms One version of the report form was used in all States. A 16-page 2018 Census of Aquaculture report form was designed to collect data from operations

producing or distributing aquaculture. It was designed to collect data that also supported the agricultural surveys conducted for catfish and trout production which are part of the National Agricultural Statistics Service’s (NASS) Estimates Program. See Appendix B for changes since the last aquaculture census and a copy of the report form. Report Form Mailings and Respondent Follow-up The initial mailout took place in December 2018. Mail packets were mailed to approximately 3,800 farms thought to have produced aquaculture in 2017. The initial mail packets included a labeled report form, an instruction sheet, a letter that requested a prompt response and included instructions for completing the form via Internet, and a postage-paid return envelope. Mailout packet preparation, initial mailout, and one follow-up mailing to nonrespondents were handled by the Census Bureau’s National Processing Center (NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN. Telephone follow-ups, conducted from a NASS Data Collection Center, began in February 2019 to nonrespondents who were mailed a report form from NPC. Data were collected for a select group of operations by the NASS field offices. To minimize the number of agency contacts, operations included in this group were flagged for contact by NASS for other agricultural surveys. Report forms were labeled at the NPC and sent to field offices in November 2018. Field office staff collected data by personal enumeration or by phone from December 2018 through May 2019. For a description of the adjustment for nonresponse, see Estimation. REPORT FORM PROCESSING Data Capture All report forms returned to the NPC were

immediately checked in using bar codes printed on the mailing label. This check-in process removed the responding farms from follow-up mailings. All forms were reviewed prior to data keying to identify inconsistencies and ensure that the data could be keyed. Major inconsistencies, respondent remarks, blank report forms, and large aquaculture cases were reviewed by analysts and adjusted prior to data keying, as needed. All forms with any data were scanned and an image was created for each page of a report form. Data Editing and Analysis Data from each report form were processed through a computer edit which flagged inconsistent entries. Each flagged entry was reviewed by staff. Reported data that were obviously incorrect due to misinterpretation of a question were either corrected or deleted prior to the computer edit. In some cases, respondents may have failed to provide all of the information requested, only indicating the presence of an item but not the amount. Some data were estimated by the analyst based on other responses in the geographic area and by similarly sized farms. Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed to identify and resolve remaining inconsistencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons were made to 2017 Census of Agriculture data, 2013 Census of Aquaculture data, and other available check data. The data were processed through a disclosure program to prevent data from being published that could be sourced back to an individual operation. ESTIMATION Estimates were produced for the Nation and for each of the 50 States. All respondents to the 2017 Census of Agriculture that reported involvement with an aquaculture enterprise, regardless of its economic size, were included on the 2018 Census of Aquaculture mailing list. The estimation methodology consisted of two weighting components. The first component was the fully adjusted weight pulled in from the 2017 Census of Agriculture. In processing the 2017 Census of Agriculture data, statistical weights were applied to each responding record. These weights were designed to account for 2017 Census of Agriculture mail list

nonrespondents, farms that existed but were not included on the 2017 Census of Agriculture mail list, and various farm classification errors. The second weighting component was from a 2018 Census of Aquaculture nonresponse adjustment factor. In spite of a determined effort to obtain aquaculture information from every operation on the 2018 Census of Aquaculture mailing list, not all operations responded. A nonresponse adjustment factor was used to account for active aquaculture operations on the list that did not respond to the 2018 Census of Aquaculture. Together these two weighting components compensate for aquaculture farm data that were not obtained from either the 2017 Census of Agriculture or the 2018 Census of Aquaculture. Each farm on the 2018 Census of Aquaculture mail list was put into a weight adjustment group. All weight adjustment groups were formed within a given State. These groups were based on the economic size of the farm’s aquaculture enterprise as indicated by the data obtained from the 2017 Census of Agriculture. The weights that were carried over from the 2017 Census of Agriculture were summed across every record within each aquaculture weight adjustment group. The resulting weight sum was the best available estimate of the number of aquaculture farms that existed for a given State in 2017. The number of aquaculture farms for the weight adjustment group was divided equally among all aquaculture census respondents within the group. The resulting value became the statistically fully-adjusted weight for each respondent in the weight adjustment group. The sum of the adjusted weights across all respondents in the group necessarily equaled the target value. The fully-adjusted weights applied to respondents on the 2018 Census of Aquaculture mail list were integerized using a random process. This process rounded each raw weight upwards to the smallest integer that exceeded the fully-adjusted raw weight using a probability equal to the non-integer portion of the raw weight, otherwise, the weight would have been rounded downwards to the largest integer that was less than the raw weight. Example: The raw weight for a record is 1.75. It will be rounded up to 2.0 with a probability of 0.75 and rounded down to 1.0 with a probability of 0.25.

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 3 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

The State total for a particular characteristic being estimated was obtained by multiplying each record’s value for the characteristic by the record’s integerized weight. The weighted values were then summed up over all the responding records in that State to obtain the State-level estimate. DATA COMPARABILITY Data definitions are comparable between the 2018 and 2013 aquaculture censuses, with the exception that during the 2018 Census of Aquaculture questions pertaining to water source, size of operation, and methods of production in the report form were asked of all operations and not just operations with sales. In 2013, operations that solely produced and distributed aquaculture for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes were instructed to complete only Section 13, Aquaculture Produced and Distributed. Specific data changes from 2018 are listed in Appendix B. Dollar figures are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation. The census of aquaculture data are not directly comparable to the census of agriculture data, due to different priorities and data definitions. A census of agriculture priority is the value of production of all agriculture (including aquaculture) at the county level. A census of aquaculture priority is a more specific look at U.S. and State-level aquaculture sales and aquaculture distributed for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes. In the 2017 Census of Agriculture, all agriculture production moved off the farm had a value of sales reported or assigned. Aquaculture which was moved for distribution, restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes was assigned a value. In the 2018 Census of Aquaculture, farms with aquaculture which was produced and sold are included in tables 1 through 9, 13 through 21, and 24. Aquaculture which was not sold, but distributed for conservation is included in tables 22 and 23. Tables 10, 11, and 12 are not comparable to the 2013 Census of Aquaculture. In 2018, farms with aquaculture sales and/or distributed aquaculture products for conservation, recreation, enhancement, or recreational purposes are included. In 2013, only operations that had aquaculture sales were included in tables 10 through 12.

Differing priorities between the census of agriculture and the census of aquaculture explain some of the farm count differences between the two censuses. For the 2017 Census of Agriculture, there were several large farms that span across county lines. To capture the agricultural production in the correct county, these farms were split into multiple records. These operations were weighted and summarized as individual farms for the 2017 Census of Agriculture. The census of aquaculture allowed one respondent to report for multiple locations within the same State. All production, sales, and distributed aquaculture data may have been tabulated as one farm. As a result, farm counts were reduced in Tables 1 – 20, and 22 – 24 by a maximum of 349 farms throughout the United States. The 349 total farms are distributed as follows: Arkansas – 1 farm, Idaho – 26 farms, Louisiana – 5 farms, Mississippi – 2 farms, Oregon – 38 farms, Pennsylvania – 134 farms, and Washington – 143 farms. Another difference with the census of agriculture is the minimum level of production. The census of agriculture has a minimum of $1,000 of production or potential production of all agriculture items. For example, a farm with $200 of crayfish and $900 of rice is included. The census of aquaculture minimum is $1,000 worth of aquaculture production either sold, or distributed for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes, which could reduce the number of farms. The last difference is that the census of agriculture food fish category excludes catfish and trout. The census of aquaculture includes catfish and trout in the food fish totals. MEASURES OF CENSUS QUALITY There are two main types of estimation error that affect all estimates obtained from almost any survey. These errors make it unlikely that estimates obtained from the 2018 Census of Aquaculture will exactly match the true value in the population for a given farm characteristic. The first type of error, referred to as nonobservation error, occurs in any estimate generated from a survey in which nonresponse occurs or data are not potentially obtainable from every unit in the target population. Statistical weighting as described in the Estimation section is used to reduce the effects of this type of error.

Page 68: 2018 Census of Aquaculture...2018 Census of Aquaculture Volume 3 • Special Studies • Part 2 AC-17-SS-2 Issued December 2019 United States Department of Agriculture Sonny Perdue,

A - 4 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

The second type of error is called nonsampling error. There are many sources of nonsampling error. Respondent reporting errors, data collection errors, data keying errors, and data editing errors are all examples of errors of this type. Quality controlled data processing is used to keep the effect of nonsampling errors to a minimum. Census Response Rate The response rate is one indicator of the quality of a data collection. It is generally assumed that if a response rate is close to a full participation level of 100 percent, the potential for nonresponse bias is small. Because the aquaculture mail list contained both farm and nonfarm records, the response rate is an indicator of replying to the data collection effort, but does not reflect whether those responding records qualified for data summarization. The U.S. response rate for the 2018 Census of Aquaculture is 83.7 percent. The U.S. response rate for the 2013 Census of Aquaculture was 90.2. MEASURES OF PRECISION Under the guidance of the Statistical Policy Office of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NASS provides data users with quality metrics for its published data series. The accuracy of data products may be evaluated through sampling and nonsampling error. The measurement of error due to sampling in the current period is evaluated by the coefficient of variation (CV) for each estimated item. Nonsampling error is evaluated by response rates and the percent of

the estimate from respondents. Coefficient of variation is a measure of the relative amount of error associated with a sample estimate. Specifically, it is the standard error of a point estimate divided by that estimate, generally multiplied times 100 so that it can be reported as a percentage. This relative measure allows the reliability of a range of estimates to be compared. For example, the standard error is often larger for large population estimates than for small population estimates, but the large population estimates may have a smaller CV, indicating a more reliable estimate. Every estimate for the 2018 Census of Aquaculture has a corresponding CV published with it. NASS has identified the following index to use when evaluating coefficient of variation for the 2018 Census of Aquaculture. The coefficient of variation is used as an indicator of the precision in the census estimates and is reported for some census items in Table A. • Low Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of

Variation (CV) 30 percent or higher. Caution should be used when using this estimate in any form. Please consult NASS for more information or guidance.

• Medium Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of

Variation (CV) between 15 percent and 29.9 percent.

• High Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of

Variation (CV) less than 15 percent.

Appendix B General Explanation and Report Form

DEVELOPMENT OF THE REPORT FORM Planning for the 2018 Census of Aquaculture started in 2017 with the mailout for the 2017 Census of Agriculture. The report form was developed through input from other government agencies, special interest groups, and each of NASS’s field offices. Report form testing was conducted in several States and included various types of aquaculture producers. Aquaculture producers were asked to evaluate the report form through cognitive interviews, and patterns which emerged from these interviews were considered when making changes to the report form. DATA CHANGES Following are report form changes and their effect on the publication tables. Report Form Changes Added items include: • Freshwater and saltwater area in square feet • Crustacean and mollusk section, unit of pint Deletions include: • Screening skip pattern for aquaculture producers

that solely produced and distributed aquaculture for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes

Table Changes Aquaculture producers that solely produce and distribute aquaculture for restoration, conservation, enhancement, or recreational purposes are included in the following tables: • Table 10. Freshwater and Saltwater Acres Used

for Aquaculture Production • Table 11. Sources of Water Used for Aquaculture

Production

• Table 12. Methods Used for Aquaculture

Production DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS The following definitions and explanations provide a detailed description of the terms used in this publication. Items in the tables which carry the note "See text" are also explained. For exact wording of the questions on the 2018 Census of Aquaculture report form, see a copy of the form at the end of this appendix. Algae. These are a very large and diverse group of simple organisms that can range from the microscopic (microalgae) to large seaweeds (macroalgae), such as giant kelp more than 100 feet in length. Microalgae include both organisms similar to bacteria called blue green algae, as well as green, brown, and red algae. Most algae grow through photosynthesis. Aquaponics. This is a system of aquaculture in which the waste produced by farmed fish or other aquatic animals supplies nutrients for plants grown hydroponically (cultivating plants in water), which in turn purify the water. Baitfish. These are fish used for bait, such as crawfish for bait, fathead minnows, goldfish (feeder and bait), golden shiners, other shiners (emerald, silver, etc.), and suckers. Examples of fish in the Other baitfish category include hubs, leeches, and other types of minnows. Broodstock. These are fish or other stock kept for reproduction, including males. Female broodfish produce the fertilized eggs which go to hatcheries. Cages or pens. Cage culture involves growing a culture species in floating cages or baskets. Cages are normally used in larger, open bodies of water, such as

Page 74: 2018 Census of Aquaculture...2018 Census of Aquaculture Volume 3 • Special Studies • Part 2 AC-17-SS-2 Issued December 2019 United States Department of Agriculture Sonny Perdue,

B - 2 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

lakes or rivers. The sides of the cages are rigid and are made of materials like plastic or plastic covered wire. Pens are large enclosures usually placed in rivers or ocean bays. Pens are usually floated in the water, but may also be secured to the bottom. Pens are supported in some way, with the sides being flexible. Carp, other. This category includes bighead, black, common, silver carp, and other carp not listed on the report form. Crustaceans. These are invertebrate animals with a hard-shelled, segmented body and jointed legs. Examples include crawfish, lobsters, prawns, shrimp, and soft-shell crabs. Direct to consumers. This sales category includes sales made directly to individuals for home consumption or placement in their ponds for personal use. Also included are operations that raise and market fish through their own fee fishing operation. Sales made to fee fishing operations are included under Wholesale to other producers. Eggs. These are embryos surrounded by nutrient material and a protective covering. Enhancement. This is a term often used on the West Coast with salmon. State and tribal hatcheries are releasing young salmon into known population areas to be harvested later upon the salmon return from the sea. Fingerlings. A size category including young fish, larger than a fry but not an adult. Flow through raceways. This is an environment where fish are in a confined area, usually long and narrow, in which water enters one end and exits the other. Raceways can either be a natural flow system or a closed system. A natural flow system uses the natural flow of a river or stream, with water diverted from the stream. A closed system has the water from the raceway flow through a series of ponds and then is pumped into a header pond that flows back into the raceway. The water area for a closed system is the surface acres of a raceway and all associated ponds. The area for a natural flow system is the surface acres that the raceway occupies. Food fish. These are fish raised primarily for food.

Examples include hybrid striped bass, carp, catfish, flounder, yellow perch, red drum, salmon, sturgeon, tilapia, and trout. Examples of Other food fish include barramundi, cobia, Atlantic and black cod, pangasius/swai, seriola, yellow croaker, and other food fish not listed on the report form. In the 2018 Census of Aquaculture, the summary by value of aquaculture products sold is published for all food fish, including catfish and trout. In addition, eggs from food fish are included in the food fish totals. Foodsize. A size category including grown aquaculture products ready for market, also known as market size. Fry. A size category including very young post-larval fish. Government agencies. This sales outlet category includes sales made to Federal, State, or local government agencies, hatcheries, or other groups involved in purchasing aquaculture to stock Federal, publicly owned, or regulated waters and recreational areas. Hybrid catfish. These are a cross between a female channel catfish and a male blue catfish. Hybrid striped bass. These are a cross between a male white bass and a female striped bass. Larvae. Newly hatched, earliest stage of animals that undergo metamorphosis, differing markedly in form and appearance from the adult. Live haulers, brokers, etc. Individuals or companies that purchase aquaculture products from a producer for immediate resale. They may or may not take possession of the product. Live haulers transport aquaculture products in oxygenated tank trucks to other outlets, including processing plants, pay lakes, recreational lakes, and retail outlets. Miscellaneous aquaculture. This category represents the production of aquaculture products other than food fish, sport fish, baitfish, ornamental fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Examples include microalgae, sea vegetables such as seaweed and ogo, alligators, caviar, eels, frogs, sea urchins, snails, tadpoles, turtles, and live rock. Examples of Other

Page 75: 2018 Census of Aquaculture...2018 Census of Aquaculture Volume 3 • Special Studies • Part 2 AC-17-SS-2 Issued December 2019 United States Department of Agriculture Sonny Perdue,

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 3 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

miscellaneous aquaculture include Gambusia and bioassay fish (fish used for toxicity testing). Mollusks. These are marine invertebrates. Invertebrates have no backbone structure. In general, mollusks have three body regions: a head, a visceral mass, and a “foot.” Mollusks usually have a shell; although, some do not. Examples include Abalone, clams, mussels, oysters. Examples of mollusks in the Other mollusk category include scallops and scallop seed. Mollusks off bottom. The use of water column suspension techniques, including enclosures and lines for the production of normally bottom-dwelling mollusks. These techniques are designed to minimize bottom predators and maximize the use of a three-dimensional space for cultivation. Mollusks on bottom. The practice of raising mollusks on the bottom of tidal waters that have had oyster shell, clam shell, or other material added to improve the habitat for growth and survival. Non-recirculating systems. Process of rearing aquatic organisms and discharging the water after its intended use. Off farm water. Water that comes from a Federal supplier; irrigation district; mutual, private, or cooperative ditches; commercial company; or municipal or community water system. On farm surface water. Surface supply not controlled by a water supply organization. Examples include streams, drainage ditches, lakes, ponds, springs, and reservoirs. Ornamental fish. These are fish raised for water gardens, aquariums, etc. Examples include Koi and guppies. An example in the Other ornamental fish category is seahorses. Other aquaculture products. This category includes all aquaculture products that are not listed in the table. Oysters, other. This category includes Kumomoto and other oysters besides Eastern and Pacific. Pens. See Cages or pens.

Point of first sale. The first point at which money is exchanged for aquaculture products. For example, delivery of aquaculture products from the farm to the processing plant is considered to be the point of first sale. Ponds. The most common type of water facility for raising fish. Most ponds are man-made and fish usually have access to the entire pond. Processors. Companies that convert live fish to a product ready to cook, such as fish fillets. Usually, the purchasing plant has no ties to the producer. However, in some cases, the plant may be a cooperative that is jointly owned by the producer and other producers. Also included in this category are the sales of aquaculture products by vertically integrated operations through their own processing and marketing operations. Recirculating systems. Metal, plastic, or fiberglass tanks normally above ground and usually under cover used for the rearing of aquatic organisms where 90 percent or more of system water is recycled. Some tanks may consist of frames with liners. Recreational stocking. When the point of first sale is recreational stocking, the purchaser will use the aquaculture production to stock private lakes or ponds. Saltwater. Water from a sea or ocean, including brackish water. Freshwater converted to saltwater by adding chemicals was tabulated as saltwater acres used in production. The source of water was tabulated as freshwater. Sea vegetables. A type of algae seaweed that grows naturally in the ocean. Seed. A size category including young aquaculture species, generally oysters, clams, or mussels, used for stocking; newly fertilized, earliest stage of these animals, also known as seed stock. Shellfish. An aquatic invertebrate animal with a shell, particularly an edible mollusk or crustacean. Sport fish. These are fish raised primarily to be released into lakes and streams to be caught by sport fishermen. Fish may also be sold to fee fishing

operations. Examples include largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, muskie, northern pike, sunfish, and walleye. Stockers. A size category including young aquaculture species that are large enough to be placed in the final grow-out pond, net, pen, or tank to grow to foodsize. Sunfish. This category includes bluegill, coppernose, bream, redear/shellcrackers, etc.

Surface water acres. A measure of the number of square acres needed to cover the surface of a pond, tank, raceway, etc. Value of sales. The gross value of sales before marketing and production costs are deducted. Wholesale to other producers. This sales outlet category includes sales made to other aquaculture producers who buy live fish to raise for a later sale.
