Reef Fish Fishery, 1982-96." National Marine Fisheries Service,
Southeast Regional Office, 9721 Executive Center Drive, North, St.
Petersburg, FL, September.
Summary statistics for the recreational reef fish fishery of the Gulf of
Mexico derived from the NMFS MRFSS survey, the NMFS Headboat Survey, and the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Survey data sets. These summaries may contain some
errors due to the expansion of the MRFSS data set.

Capacity. Thalassorama, Marine Resource Economics, 14(3):263-267.
Excess capacity is a severe and costly problem that has led both to
overfishing and reduction in the net benefits derived from fishery resources.
However, excess capacity is only a symptom of an underlying failure of the
management system. Attempts to reduce or control capacity will likely be
offset by expansion of uncontrolled inputs. Failure to address the causes of
excess capacity will ensure that managers will face the same problems again
sooner or later.
Holland, Daniel S. and Richard J. Brazee (1996). Marine Reserves for
Fisheries Management. Marine Resource Economics, 11(3):157-171.
Conventional methods of regulating commercial fisheries restrict catch
by limiting either the quantity or efficiency of fishing effort, or by putting
direct limits on catch. These regulatory practices are neither feasible nor
desirable for many fisheries, and have failed to conserve fishery stocks in
other fisheries. Marine reserves may be an effective alternative management
strategy for some fisheries. Here we develop a dynamic model of marine
reserves applicable to inshore fisheries. In contrast to previous models of
reserves, the model is fully dynamic and provides information on both
equilibrium conditions and the path to equilibrium. A simulation model based
on red snapper data from the Gulf of Mexico is presented. The simulation
results suggest that marine reserves can sustain or increase yields for
moderate to heavily fished fisheries but will probably not improve yields for
lightly fished fisheries.

Capacity in Fisheries. Draft report, Department of Environmental and
Natural Resource Economics, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI,
December, 18 pp.
This draft of technical guidelines on the management of fishing capacity
is prepared in the general context of the Code of Conduct for Responsible
Fisheries. The draft guidelines cover the definition of fishing capacity and
excess capacity, measurement aspects, control mechanisms and approaches to
reducing capacity. The draft guidelines introduce concepts and issues,
identifies options, and provides guidance and advice to fisheries
managers/policy makers from a world wide perspective. Special issues
addressed include intra-sectoral and international mobility, regional and
international dimensions, subsidies and buybacks, basic monitoring
requirements, small-scale tropical fisheries, complementary roles of
conventional management techniques, precautionary considerations, allocation
among competing user groups and equity.
