This EIS addresses the issue of whether the use of bottlenose dolphins
in swim with the dolphin programs should be allowed after April 30, 1990. The
preferred alternative is the continuation of existing programs on an
experimental basis until December 31, 1991 with additional conditions.

Ranges for Gulf Group King and Spanish Mackerel." Gulf and South
Atlantic Fishery Management Council Presentation, Southeast
Regional Office, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Department of Commerce, April.
The report contains some basic background information that has an
important bearing on the nature and extent of the economic implications of
choosing a particular TAC from within the ABC range that is available to the
council. This information includes the number of commercial and charterboat
permits over time, the gag limits that apply in the EEZ and in the states, the
allocation formulas used to compute quotas from specified levels of TAC, the
ABC ranges for the 1991/92 fishing year, and the quotas that result from the
various levels of TAC. The economic implications for commercial fishermen,
recreational anglers and charterboat operations are estimated in terms of
exvessel values, changes in recreational value (consumer surplus), changes in
charterboat profits and changes in charterboat revenues. Also, month of
closure predictions are made for the mackerel group/user combinations.
