Industry." Oregon State University, Sea Grant College Program,

Special Report No. 440, August, 23 pp.
This work consolidates from many sources features of the fresh frozen
shrimp industry in terms of its product volume, growth trends, and position
relative to other Oregon seafood commodities. Market structure and functions
are described as the product moves from the fisherman through the processor,
broker, wholesaler, and retailer to the consumer. There is brief speculation
on needs for future studies of marketing.

Fish. Res. Board Can., 20(3):647-678.
The consequences of exploitation of either or both of a pair of
competing species are examined using the Lotka-Volterra equations. The
removal of a fixed proportion of a population on an instantaneous basis shifts
the equilibrium population sizes for both the exploited species and its
competitor. Similar shifts occur when both species are exploited. The
maximum sustained yield of a species can be estimated under various degrees of
exploitation of its competitor. The maximum combined sustained yield can be
estimated for various relative values of the two species. From this analysis
it is observed (1) harvesting only one species may provide a mistaken
underestimate of capacity for sustained yield, (2) harvesting two species but
relating yield to the fishing mortality rate of only one of the two may give a
misleading overestimate of further capacity for sustained yield. Similar
conclusions can be drawn if exploitation rate is proportional to abundance.
Larkin, P.A. (1966). "Exploitation in a Type of Predator-Prey
Relationship." Journal Fisheries Research Board of Canada,
23(3):349-356.
The response of a predator-prey system to exploitation are explored.
This type of equation system is perhaps a suitable representation of the type
of natural situation in which a predator is wholly dependent on one species of
prey for food, and in which factors other than predators may regulate prey
abundance. Yield and value isopleths are presented for sample values of the
above parameters and for various rates of fishing.
Larkin, P.A. (1978). "Fisheries Management - An Essay for Ecologists."
Ann. Rev. Ecol. Syst., 9:57-73.
The paper attempts to expose for ecologists who are not fisheries
biologists what fisheries biology and management are all about. The
population dynamics of fish and fishermen are woven together in an attempt to
project the present state of our understanding of the population ecology of
fisheries and the state of the art of fisheries management. It concludes with
some guesses about some of the developments in the future.
