Development of a Deep-Sea Crab Fishery in the Gulf of Mexico."

The potential for initiating a deep sea crab fishery for golden crab in
the Gulf of Mexico is studied. While the fishery is feasible, recommendations
include many cautions unique to this deep sea crab species.

An economic overview of yellowfin tuna production and value trends, tuna
fishing methods and gear in the Gulf of Mexico and south Atlantic, postharvest
handling considerations for fresh yellowfin tuna, and a tuna product
quality code are presented and discussed in this collection of papers by the
authors.
Owers, James (1974). Costs and Earnings of Alaskan Fishing Vessels - An
Economic Survey. Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission,
September, 40 pp.
This is the first large scale effort to examine the economic health of
Alaska s commercial fisheries during the last year of unrestricted entry to
use as a benchmark for evaluating the limited entry program in the future and
to determine the gear levels that can harvest the fisheries in the state and
provide a reasonable economic return to the fishermen participating. The
results of the survey are presented in a series of fishery profiles.

report, Department of Agricultural Economics, Texas A&M University,

The prevailing belief in fisheries management is that ITQ systems will
not work in an annual crop fishery with high variation in abundance.
According to this logic, the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery is not an ideal
candidate for an ITQ program. The large geographical area, large number of
fishermen and landing sites, stock variability, and short life span of shrimp
will make implementation and management of a successful ITQ program difficult,
but not impossible. This study illustrated how an ITQ program with proper
management regime, monitoring system, and method of setting an adjustable TAC,
can make an ITQ program work even for the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery.
