Louisiana brown and white shrimp catches and catch rates are presented.

Value and Size Composition of Reported May-August Catches of Brown
Shrimp and White Shrimp from 1960 to 1981 as Related to the Texas
Closure." Gulf Research Reports, 7(3):187-203.
Indices were used to test for trends in ex-vessel price spread (value
per shrimp by size category), size composition, and ex-vessel value
composition of the reported May-August catches (inshore and offshore combined)
of brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) and white shrimp (P. setiferus) from the
Texas coast, the Mississippi River to Texas, and Pensacola to the Mississippi
River, from 1960 to 1981. Levels of reported May-August catch and ex-vessel
value of the catch also were examined for the same period. Statistical tests
were conducted to determine if 1981 was an outlier as compared to other years,
in the context of impacts of closure of the fishery conservation zone (FCZ)
off Texas to shrimping from May 22 to July 15, 1981, a management measure
referred to as the Texas Closure.

"Relationship Between Marketing Category (Count) Composition and
Ex-Vessel Value of Reported Annual Catches of Shrimp in the
Eastern Gulf of Mexico." Marine Fisheries Review, (May-June): 1-7.
The relationship between estimated ex-vessel value of reported annual
shrimp catches and weight of these catches is used to show the effects of
regional differences in count composition of these catches, a function of
differences in shrimp laws and harvesting strategy. It seems clear that the
strategy of harvesting large proportions of larger shrimp in Texas increases
both the weight and ex-vessel value of these catches. Social impacts and
economic inputs beyond the ex-vessel level also require consideration in
studies of effects of harvesting strategy.

"Trends Toward Decreasing Size of Brown Shrimp, Penaeus Aztecus,
and White Shrimp, Penaeus Setiferus, in Reported Annual Catches
from Texas and Louisiana." Fishery Bulletin, 77(4):985-989.
An exponential model adequately characterized the size composition
(expressed as a regression of transformed cumulative percentage of weight on
size category) of reported annual catches of brown and white shrimp in Texas
and Louisiana from 1959 to 1976. Louisiana catches contained considerably
greater proportions of small shrimp than did Texas catches. For both species
and states, there was a significant trend toward increases in the proportion
of small shrimp in the catches over the period.

and H.F. Hebert (1971). "Catches of Postlarval White Shrimp
Penaeus setiferus (Linn.) and Brown Shrimp, P. aztecus, Ives, and
Temperature and Salinity Observations in Vermilion Bay, Louisiana,
March 1963 to April 1967." U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA,
NMFS, Data Report 64, July, 39 pp.
A small trawl towed in a semicircle of 30.5 m (100 ft) radius in shallow
water near the shoreline was used to collect postlarval white shrimp and brown
shrimp. Dates and hour of sampling, catches of postlarvae, species
composition and subsamples of the catches, and water temperature and salinity
data are presented.
