Abstract
The report shows the location and magnitude of the principal fishery resources on the continental shelf of the United States, from the west coast of Florida to Texas. A similar report, concerned with the fisheries from New York to Florida, was completed in 1968. The information in the report was obtained from unpublished data supplied by the United States Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. Summaries have been prepared for species whose value was more than $1,000 to fishermen in any specific area of capture in 1965. Less important species taken by the commercial fishery are listed in the appendix. The latter constitute less than one percent by weight of the annual catch from the area. Little information is available on sport fisheries and they are not included.
