a fish movement model to the tag data, we were able to estimate mortality and
movement parameters (including diffusivity), parameters of a function that
models FAD attraction, and a separate parameter of island attraction.
Diffusivity was high enough to effectively distribute fish throughout the
island archipelago (approximately 150,000 km 2 ) within a few months. Estimates
of FAD parameters indicate the presence of up to four or five FADs in an area
approximately 50 X 50 km can reduce the propensity for skipjack to leave that
area by approximately 50%, but that deploying additional FADs in such an area
does not significantly increase their effectiveness in holding skipjack.
Estimates of the island attraction parameter imply that the propensity of
skipjack for movement away from the archipelago is less than half the
propensity for movement within it.

Estimates of the standing stock and potential yields of snappers,
groupers, and related species are provided for the Caribbean Sea and Campeche
Bank area of the Gulf of Mexico. Handline fishing explorations by the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Caribbean Project provided the
basic data for assessment of the resources in the Caribbean Sea. Exploratory
trawl surveys by the Pascagoula Laboratory of the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), NOAA and catch and effort data from the Cuban and Mexican
snapper fisheries provided the basis for the Campeche Bank assessments.
Present production of snappers and groupers can probably be significantly
increased in many areas of the Caribbean, notably along the continental shelf
of northeast South America off the Guianas and the Central American shelf.
One problem hampering increased production in some island communities is the
occurrence of ciguatera in fish in the northern Leeward Islands. Production
for both snappers and groupers can be increased in the Campeche Bank area.
Increased red grouper production can be realized by altering the age at entry
into the fishery from 3 to about 5 years of age and increasing fishing effort.
