Garcia, S. (1983). "The Stock-Recruitment Relationship in Shrimps:
Reality or Artifacts and Misinterpretations?" Oceanogr. Trop.,
18(1):25-48.
After a detailed review of the information available on stockrecruitment
relationships and environmentally driven variations of abundance
in shrimp, the impact of this variability on the apparent shape of the SRR is
examined. The existence of a strong autocorrelation in yearly data is
stressed and it is concluded that the presently available relationships do not
demonstrate that the recruitment of shrimps is a function of stock size.
Examination of the particular case when seasonal relationships have been
established with monthly data shows that despite a certain similarity in shape
they should not be interpreted as SRR sensu stricto and a three dimensional
interpretation is proposed instead. The other possible sources of error and
bias are finally examined and the consequences of the above findings on
management strategies are briefly discussed.

Shrimps are short-lived animals living in highly variable inshore areas
during the juvenile phase and are therefore subject to particularly strong
environmentally driven variability in recruitment and stock size. This paper
examines the likely consequences of this fact on the surplus yield production
and stock-recruitment modeling underlining the high risk of generating
artifactual models when the data series are short.

The main characteristics of penaeids as tropical short-lived animals are
pointed out here to show differences and similarities with the better known
resources of temperate waters.

Following an earlier analysis provided by FAO (1993), the paper gives an
update of the trends and future perspectives of world fisheries. It describes
and comments on worldwide trends in landings, trade, prices, and fleet size.
It illustrates the decrease in landings in the last 3 years, the relationship
