Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis." Lincoln Center, Suite

The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils
(Councils) propose an amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for Coastal
Migratory Pelagic Resources in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP) to
adjust management procedures for king and Spanish mackerels, cobia, and
dolphin. Proposed changes include requirements for gear, transfer of mackerel
at sea, stock boundary adjustments, change in the definition of overfishing,
permitting requirements, and extension of the range of management for cobia.
Also proposed is a reallocation of Atlantic Spanish mackerel, possible changes
in trip limits for cobia and dolphin, and additional flexibility for changes
to be made as seasonal adjustment by regulatory amendment.

Management Plan, Amendment 1. P.O. Box 726, Ocean Springs, MS, May, 13
pp.
To restore and maintain the striped bass population throughout the Gulf
of Mexico, it is recommended that the sale and/or purchase of striped bass
harvested from public waters be prohibited, a bag limit of six fish per person
per day with a minimum size limit of eighteen inches total length be
established, and that the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico region
participate in the stocking of striped bass fry and/or fingerlings in coastal
areas on an annual basis, with the goal of ten million fish per year stocked
with at least 500,000 being phase two fingerling.
Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission (1995). A Profile of the Western
Gulf Stone Crab, Menippe adina. Number 31, P.O. Box 726, Ocean
Springs, MS, January.
The western Gulf stone crab (Menippe adina) ranges in coastal waters
from northwest Florida around the Gulf of Mexico to the state of Tamaulipus,
Mexico. Currently, M. adina supports small, directed commercial fisheries in
Louisiana and Texas. In Mississippi and Alabama, the fishery exists as a
limited, seasonal bycatch component of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus)
fishery. High dockside value of stone crab claws and an apparently
unsatisfied market demand have created interest in further development of
commercial fisheries for stone crabs. The goal of this document is to provide
a data base for use in development of management measures. The objectives are
to summarize available literature, data, and regulations pertaining to the
western Gulf stone crab and to describe the fishery.
Gulland, John A. (1974). The Management of Marine Fisheries. University of
Washington Press, Seattle.
The management of marine fisheries presents a complex mixture of
biological, economic, social, and political problems. In recent years this
subject has earned increasing attention owing both to the growing pressures on
the world fish stocks, and to the general concern with the proper use of the
environment, of which the rational harvesting of fish in the sea is an
