Information needed and the steps involved in use of the model are
presented in two sections. The first section provides user documentation and
indicates the model's capabilities, General program structure, available
options, data requirements, and an example problem are presented. The second
section provides programmer documentation. Model algorithms are presented in
detail and the fisheries system processes represented in each subroutine are
described.

Overwintering White Shrimp: Effect on Yield-Per-Recruit." Draft
report, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA.
The study was designed to assess the change in yield associated with
existing state laws that prevent the landing of "small" white shrimp during
the winter months. This evaluation has been accomplished using a yield per
recruit analysis in which estimates of natural and fishing mortality, average
initial number of shrimp recruited to the overwintering fishery, and the
annual temperature regime with temperature and size dependent growth rate
equation (Phares, 1980) have been combined.

Fisheries of the United States. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York.
A simplistic discussion of the biology and the fisheries for shrimp from
the Carolinas to Texas is presented. Primarily warm water species are
included with limited discussions on the cold water species of shrimp. The
commercial fisheries are described, but little economic information is
included. The section on fisheries management outlines many of the problems
facing shrimp managers and biologies, but does not indicate the root causes of
growth overfishing of shrimp or bycatch of finfish in the shrimp fishery.
Overall, it is a good general discussion of the southeastern region shrimp
fishery from a biological point of view.

The Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN) consists of two main
components: a management data base and a research data base. This document
describes the content and design of the research data base. It traces the
computerized method of combining individual fishery data files submitted by
participating member states -- California, Oregon, and Washington -- into
contiguous data file sets by year. This document was written as an
encompassing description for user and programmer. Thus, it contains
generalized schemes complemented by specific tables outlining their exact
content.

Found Highly Exaggerated." News release, Gulf and South Atlantic
Fisheries Development Foundation, Inc., October, 2 pp.
Results of the shrimp trawl bycatch study workshop indicate that the
correct bycatch ratio is three to four pounds of finfish to one pound of
shrimp. Testing of proposed bycatch reduction devices have indicated that
gear modifications can reduce bycatch by as much as one-third.
