  • Landings - Quantities of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic plants and animals brought ashore and sold. Landings of fish may be in terms of round (live) weight or dressed weight. Landings of crustaceans are usually on a live weight basis except for shrimp, which may be on a heads-on or heads-off basis. Mollusks are generally landed with the shell on, but in some cases only the meats are landed (as with scallops). Data for all mollusks are published on meat weight basis.
  • Layer Pack - Product, usually fillets, put into a carton in layers with a sheet of polyethylene between each layer of product.
  • Loin - The boneless portion of edible flesh cut lengthwise from either side of the backbone of a large, round-bodied fish.
  • Lox - Smoked salmon.
