Standard shrimp trawls used in the southeastern USA commercial fishery
were modified in an attempt to reduce the amount of unwanted fish and
invertebrates retained during normal shrimp trawling procedures. A
statistical sampling design was used to test the effectiveness of finfish
separator devices (FSD) towed in combination with unmodified nets in coastal
waters off Brunswick, Georgia, in 1990. Several problems hampered statistical
analysis of the data, including slight differences in the towing of port and
starboard nets, onboard modifications of FSDs during testing to correct design
deficiencies, and seasonality of shrimp catches in combination with large
masses of sargassum and jellyfish in trawls during fall sampling. The
modified Parrish TED was the only FSD that had a significant reduction in the
percent difference in total biomass compared to the control net.
Murray, Thomas J. (1996). Creation of a Real-Time and Historical Shark
Fishery Data Series. Grant Number NA27FD0069-01, Center for Economic
and Management research, University of South Florida.
This project has three goals. The first is to create a vessel level
data base that can be used to understand the economic operations of the shark
fishery and the implications of shark management plans. Second, the project
establishes a protocol for the continuous updating of the database. Third, a
spreadsheet was developed that permits the establishment of a baseline
assessment of costs and returns to shark fishermen.
Musaiger, Abdulrahman O. (1987). "Marine Fisheries in Bahrain." Marine
Fisheries Review, 49(3):96-99.
Since the end of the 1970's, serious efforts have been focused on
developing the fishery sector that has been in decline since the 1930's when
higher incomes in the oil production industry began attracting labor and
capital away from the fishing industry. Actually, the Bahrain islands are
rich in fishery resources with many potentially productive sites on the
inhabited coasts. However, the efforts to develop fisheries are facing many
difficulties. This paper briefly highlights Bahrain's fisheries and gives
some possible measures to develop them.
Muse, Ben (1991). "Survey of Individual Quota Programs." Draft report,
Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, June, pp. 32.
By 1980 fishermen had individual quotas in Iceland, the Bay of Fundy,
Ontario, Manitoba, Wisconsin, and British Columbia. Most programs were fairly
small, but one covered over 700 gillnet fishermen on Lake Winnipeg in
Manitoba. Since 1980 the number of programs has increased greatly. This
appendix describes individual quota programs in the United States, Iceland,
Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. The survey is wide rather than deep; the
programs are not described in detail.

This paper illustrates a methodology for using mail survey data, vessel
licensing information, and catch records to derive a model to estimate
operating costs and net returns measures in a fishery. Operating costs, net
operating income, and returns to labor and management are estimated for the
