vessels in classes I and IV.
Input prices increased some 20% from 1973 to 1974 whereas production
remained approximately constant and ex-vessel shrimp prices were lower. Thus,
none of the classes of vessels would have experienced a break-even cash flow
for 1974. Increasing input cost another 10% above the 1974 level, and
assuming normal production, the average vessel in class II seems to be
operating at a better than a break-even level in 1975 assuming ex-vessel
shrimp prices remain constant at 1973 levels. Classes I, III, IV, and V
experienced less than break-even cash flows under the same conditions in 1975.

and Return Analysis By Selected Vessel Characteristics: Gulf of

This report is intended to provide current information concerning the
economics of owning and operating a shrimp vessel for use by owners, managers,
financial institutions and public policy makers.

NA80-GA-C-00011, NMFS, SEFC, Miami, Florida, pp. 269.
This project develops an enterprise budget simulator for commercial
fishing vessels using collected cost and earning information on the Gulf
shrimp, Florida paying passenger and New England fishing fleets, and compares
the predicted results to actual data.

Shrimp Fleet." Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Texas A&M
University.
A total effort index based on vessel characteristics is calculated for
the shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Mexico. The report includes an extensive
review of the literature; a description of the model, associated data sets,
and the statistical procedure employed; the empirical results; and lastly, a
summary and conclusions.

Bioeconomic Model of Shrimp Maricultural Systems in the U.S.A."
Ecological Modelling, 25:47-68.
A general conceptual model of a marine shrimp farming system
representing important relationships between the engineering design of
facilities, the environmental and managerial factors affecting shrimp growth
and survival, and the factors affecting production costs and profit is
presented. Based upon this conceptual model, a bioeconomic simulation model
is developed to assess the economic feasibility of a projected penaeid shrimp
maricultural operation along the Texas coast, and to evaluate the effects of
