The paper provides a conceptual model that examines (i) open access
exploitation and (ii) mangrove deforestation as two potential causes for the
scarcity of post larval shrimp inputs to shrimp mariculture in Ecuador.
Results indicate that conversion of mangrove ecosystems to shrimp ponds may
have obtained short term profit at the expense of long term productivity.
Open access collection of post larval shrimp may also have contributed to
dwindling stock levels. Specific policy recommendations are presented, and
future empirical studies are proposed.

This manuscript reviews methods for classifying length frequencies into
age frequencies. Age length keys and information on growth derived from markrelease
and/or hard part data are needed. Stochastic procedures, that use
size at age data and incorporate information on the variation of size within
an age category, were identified as alternative ageing methods appropriate for
ageing king and Spanish mackerel. Information on growth required for
application of the stochastic methods (size and variation of size at age) was
reviewed for king and Spanish mackerel and growth results not reported to date
in the literature summarized and presented. The methods reviewed here in
addition to the existing database of age and growth data can be used to
classify king and Spanish mackerel catch at length distributions available
from the recreational and commercial fisheries into age densities.

A preliminary assessment of the Atlantic and Gulf greater amberjack
fishery assessment through 1991 was presented in March 1993. Those results
are readdressed in this report. Three important concerns of that study were
the ability of the population model used to accurately assess the condition of
the resource, the current biostatistical sampling levels in place for the
