Clark, Stephen H. and Charles W. Caillouet, Jr. (1973). "White Shrimp
(Penaeus setiferus) Population Trends in a Tidal Marsh Pond.
Marine Fisheries Review, 35(3-4):27-29.
Ketchen's modification of the Leslie fishing success method was used to
estimate initial population and rates of immigration, fishing, and other
losses (emigration and natural mortality) in a white shrimp population in a
Texas tidal marsh pond. The significant decline in catch rates of marked and
unmarked shrimp during the experiment was due to fishing and other causes
(emigration and natural mortality), but the reduction due to fishing was less
than that due to other causes. We believe that this or similar methods offer
considerable promise in future studies of this nature.

Assessment of the Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine Haddock Fishery."
Laboratory Reference No. 79-05, January, NOAA, NMFS, NEFC, Woods
Hole Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543.
Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) constituted New England's most
important groundfish resource for many decades and from the early 1920's to
the mid-1960's was one of the most valuable fishery resources in the United
States; total landed value averaged between 10 and 12 million dollars from
1940-1960 and increased to a record high of 13.9 million dollars in 1966
(Lyles, 1968), before declining in subsequent years. Prior to 1900, this
species was of minor importance, being inferior to cod (Gadus morhua) for
salting purposes, and consequently it was little utilized in historical times
although use of ice aboard some of the bank vessels towards the close of the
19th century resulted in development of a limited fishery (Smith and Olson,
MS, 1976). Introduction of filleting and freezing methods, however, resulted
in an expanded market for haddock (Schuck, 1951) and with the introduction of
otter trawls and diesel engines, the USA haddock fishery expanded rapidly.
Landings from all areas reached an all-time high of 132,300 metric tons in
1929 before declining to an average of 66,000 tons from 1931-1965;
subsequently landings declined precipitously with the collapse of the Georges
Bank haddock fishery in the late 1960's. Total USA landings averaged
approximately 5,000 tons from 1972-1976; provisional statistics for 1977
indicate a total USA catch of 12,900 tons, and preliminary estimates for 1978
indicate a USA catch of 17,700 tons.

Clay, Douglas (1989). "A Comparison of Two Stratification Schemes Used
in Sampling Canadian Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua." Marine
Fisheries Review, 51(1):33-38.
Sampling is a key element in the assessment of any fish stock. It is
often one of the most expensive activities of the management process; thus,
improved efficiency can result in significant cost savings. In most cases a
two phase sampling strategy is employed. Two commonly used versions of such
stratified random schemes were simulated using a test population based on
Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua. A 1 otolith per 1 cm length frequency currently
used for many flatfish and some smaller gadoids and a 3 otolith per 3 cm
length frequency currently used for many of the larger gadoids. No difference
was detected in the age composition or mean length at age for either scheme;
