Notes: Landings are reported in round (live) weight for   
all items except univalve and bivalve mollusks, which are 
reported in meat weights (excluding the shell).  Dollar   
amounts represent the ex-vessel value.  Figures include   
maricultured oysters, clams, and mussels.  Freshwater     
figures obtained separately from the California Department
of Fish and Game.  Kelp harvest not included in this table.
