overfishing levels are surpassed in any of these stocks.

Tech. Memo. NMFS-F/SPO-15, December, 156 pp.
This report is a status review of U.S. living marine resources that have
commercial, recreational, and ecological significance. The report is broken
down into five distinct regions reflecting the Northeast Atlantic, Southeast
Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, and Alaska.
National Marine Fisheries Service (1993). "Review of the Rock Shrimp
Fishery 1981-1991." Report to the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council, Galveston Laboratory, Southeast Fisheries
Science Center, NMFS, NOAA, March, 4 pp.
The report presents a summary of landings, value, and effort data for
south Atlantic rock shrimp during the eleven year period from 1981 through
1991 and suggests possible recruitment overfishing levels that could be used
for this species.
National Marine Fisheries Service (1993). "United States Trade of
Edible Fishery Products, 1991-1992." Trade services Division,
Office of Trade and Industry Services, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, June.
The value of U.S. exports of domestic edible seafood rose to $3.36
billion in 1992, an increase of $319 million over 1991. The U.S. imports of
edible seafood were valued at $5.7 billion in 1992. To calculate the trade
deficit, the U.S. re-exports of foreign origin edible fish are included. The
following table shows the exports, re-exports, imports, and the deficit. The
u.S. trade deficit in the seafood trade in 1992 was $2.2 billion, compared
with $2.5 billion in 1991.
National Marine Fisheries Service (1994). "Coral and Coral Reefs of the
Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic." Federal Register,
59(187):49377-49384.
Rules implementing Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan for Coral
and Coral Reefs of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic to control the
harvest of wild live rock.
National Marine Fisheries Service (1994). "Atlantic Sharks." Federal
Register, 50 CFR Part 678 as of Oct. 20.
NMFS issues this final rule to implement certain measures authorized by
the Fishery Management Plan for Sharks of the Atlantic Ocean (FMP) that were
part of an interim final rule. Final measures implemented by this rule:
Clarify operation of vessels with a Federal commercial permit, establish a
fishing year, consolidate the regulations for drift gillnets, require dealers
to obtain a permit to purchase sharks, require dealer reports, establish
recreational bag limits, establish quotas for commercial landings, and provide
for commercial fishery closures when quotas are reached. The intended effect
of this rule is to prevent overfishing of shark resources, encourage
consistent Federal and state management of shark stocks, increase the benefits
from shark resources to the nation while preventing waste, and standardize
data reporting requirements among different fisheries to avoid confusion among
fishermen with multiple permits.
