Selected Finfishes Along the Texas Coast: November 1975-June
1984." Management Data Series Number 79, Coastal Fisheries Branch,

Trends in relative abundance and size of red drum, spotted seatrout,
black drum, sheepshead, southern flounder, Atlantic croaker, and sand seatrout
were monitored using a standardized fishery independent gill net and bag seine
sampling program in eight Texas bay systems. The impacts of management
decisions based on optimum sustained yield, effects of catastrophic events and
stock recruitment relationships can be measured by using estimates of relative
abundance based on the fishery independent monitoring program. Fall and
spring gill net catch rates indicate that declines in red drum and spotted
seatrout populations have slowed or stopped since the prohibition of sale of
these species in September 1981. However, the full effect of the regulations
may not be evident for 3-5 years because spotted seatrout and red drum do not
spawn until they are 3-5 years old. In addition, the effect of these
regulations has been hampered by the coast wide fish kill documented in
December 1983 and January 1984. Reduced population levels of red drum,
spotted seatrout and black drum due to this freeze were observed in the 1984
spring gill net catch rates.

This report summarizes a vessel level data base which can be used to
better understand the economic operations of those working in the shark
fisheries, as well as the implications of shark management plans. This data
is drawn from the vessel trip tickets . Among the information included on
these tickets are catch by species, cost by category (ice, fuel, etc.), price
received, and vessel characteristics. Summarized is the historical data base,
but an ongoing data collection effort is underway to continuously update the
data base.

Choice Behavior." In Zarembka, Paul (ed.) (1974). Frontiers in
Econometrics. Academic Press, New York.
This paper outlines a general procedure for formulating econometric
models of population choice behavior from distributions of individual decision
rules. A concrete case with useful empirical properties, conditional logit
analysis, is developed in detail. The relevance of these methods to economic
analysis can be indicated by a list of the consumer choice problems to which
conditional logit analysis has been applied: choice of college attended,
choice of occupation, labor force participation, choice of geographical
location and migration, choice of number of children, housing choice, choice
of number and brand of automobiles owned, choice of shopping travel model and
destination.
