Estimates of Shrimp Fleet Bycatch, 1972-1991." Draft report,

Drawer 1207, Pascagoula, Mississippi, August.
New estimates of shrimp fleet bycatch are provided, using the GLM
methods described by Nichols et al. (1987, 1990). Estimates are updated
through 1991. Estimates for 1991 are preliminary, based on preliminary
estimates of shrimping effort. Estimates for all previous years have been
revised, following discovery that many observer data stations used in previous
estimations were not completely worked up, resulting in underestimates of
finfish catch rates in previous analyses of this data base. New estimates by
number for 24 taxa are included, as well as total sharks and total finfish by
weight.

Shrimp Fleet Bycatch for Thirteen Finfish Species in the Offshore
Waters of the Gulf of Mexico." Draft Report, NOAA, NMFS, SEFC,

This paper presents estimates of annual bycatch levels for thirteen
species for the offshore waters of the northern and western Gulf of Mexico.

This paper presents updated and corrected estimates of annual bycatch
levels for the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Qualitative or dummy
variables are used to represent area, depth, season, year, and the data set in
which the data were contained. The estimated coefficients and statistical
significance of the model are not provided by the authors.

Requirements. Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine

The paper sets 1982-86 as the base year class for future calculations of
F for finfish bycatch levels in the shrimp fishery. The extended funnel and
the fisheye are two identified effective gear options for bycatch reduction.
In spite of the recognized need and the importance of forecasting future
effort levels, the authors propose using a constant level of effort based on
the 1982-86 average days fished in all future bycatch estimations for the
shrimp fishery. Lastly, TED use is unlikely to have reduced red snapper F
below the baseline value. Also, found in Southeast Fisheries Science Center

A bilateral monopoly exists between an elementary bureau and its
government review group. This market involves the exchange of some output for
a budget rather than at a per unit price. In any such bilateral monopoly
condition, output is indeterminate within a range without determining the
conditions affecting the bargaining between the two parties. My model of
