The Cooperative Game Fish Tagging Program is the focus of this report.
It summarizes information concerning the numbers of fish tagged for sailfish,
blue and white marlin, swordfish, bluefin and yellowfin tuna, and other
species.

A status report for the coastal migratory pelagics fishery. It includes
a discussion of the management plan objectives and how well existing
management regulations are meeting plan goals.

It has been concluded that the industrial fishing fleet represents the
greatest part of economic waste in fisheries. The actions required by states
in exercising control over their fleet capacities are severe; the estimates
are for a fleet reduction of between 41 and 47 percent. Although the 1995 UN
Agreement does not include provisions for reducing fleet capacity, regional
fishery organizations may be able to adjust limit reference points to lower
catch levels to include excess capacity and its effect in undermining
conservation and management measures. There is an urgent need to improve the
transparency for monitoring fleet size, implementing an international standard
measurement for fishing vessels, establish reporting of high seas catches in
the FAO statistics, and encourage international attention to the special
problem of flags of convenience.

Economic Review of the Southeastern Shrimp Processing Industry."
Draft report, Coastal Fisheries Institute and Office of Sea Grant
Development, Center for Wetland Resources, Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge, LA.
The southeast shrimp processing industry has been examined from an
economic perspective. Results show that while the number of plants decreased
during the 1973-88 period, the production activities, as measured by total
pounds, increased. Most of this increased activity was due to peeled product.
Though processing activities in terms of pounds being processed has been
increasing, the deflated value of these processing activities has exhibited no
growth since the mid 1970's due to a sharp decline in the deflated price of
all forms of processed shrimp; i.e., raw headless, peeled, breaded, and
others.

This paper reviews the recent trends relating to catch and fishing
effort in the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery. The scope of this report is
