and Shrimp Fishery Interactions - Is a New Management Strategy Needed?

pp.
An analysis of existing data that supports a management alternative to
the existing turtle excluder device (TED) regulations. The authors propose
that TEDs be used by shrimp fishermen in inshore and near shore waters of the
Gulf of Mexico to reduce marine turtle bycatch and associated mortalities and
strandings levels. However offshore shrimp fishing vessels should be exempt
from the TED use requirement since no turtle bycatch levels are associated
with shrimp trawling in these waters based on National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) observer data.

The history of the Woods Hole Laboratory from its inception in 1871 to
1962. The outlook for the future chapter is especially interesting in light
of what actually occurred.

Onboard data collection for the purpose of bycatch characterization will
consist of sampling trawl catches taken from commercial shrimp fishery vessels
operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and U.S. south Atlantic. Data relevant
to species composition, abundance and life history will be gathered from each
tow. Sample size and allocation of samples by stratum (i.e. fishing location,
season, trawl type, and TED type) have been included in the sampling design
and are discussed in the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) "Shrimp
Trawl Bycatch Research Requirements Document", 1991. The procedures outlined
here for sampling trawl catches have been prepared by personnel at NMFS, and
are consistent with the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program's
(SEAMAP) data management system. This protocol or similar data collection
methods are recommended for use in all regional bycatch assessment programs to
facilitate the accessibility and analysis of integrated data sets.

The Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) has a
standard data collection system used by state and federal research labs and
universities in the southeast region. This method of data collection is
recommended for the regional bycatch research program to standardize data
collection procedures, analyses, and allow data to be pooled into a common
data base using existing hardware and software. Procedures are outlined here
for sampling catch from different bycatch reduction devices.
