overcapitalization problem that currently exists in the Gulf shrimp fishing
industry. The theoretical model of aggregate investment behavior is justified
statistically in this study.

Econometric Analysis of Net Investment in Gulf Shrimp Fishing
Vessels." Fisheries Bulletin, 86(1)151-156.
The purpose of this study is to estimate an econometric model of annual
real net investment in fishing vessels in the Gulf of Mexico and to determine
the sensitivity of investment decisions in the industry to fluctuations in the
cost of equity and debt capital. This study begins by examining the
individual factors that affect the expansion of the stock of steel, wood, and
fiberglass vessels in the Gulf fleet. The effects of alternative
macroeconomic policies on investment expenditure trends in the Gulf shrimp
fishery are then studied. The final section of the paper presents some
concluding remarks.

of the Genus Trachypenaeus (Decapoda, Penaeidae), With the
Description of a New Species." Fishery Bulletin, 69(3):635-646.
Study of American Pacific members of the genus Trachypenaeus reveals
that variation in armature of the telson includes not only movable spines, but
also fixed spines and even no spines at all. It also confirms that the eighth
somite bears two arthrobranchiae instead of one arthobranchia and one
pleurobranchia. A new species, Trachypenaeus fuscina, is described, the
specific features of T. faoea Loesch and Avila are presented, and a key to the
five members of the genus occurring in the region, together with their ranges
is included.

Illustrated tables are presented for the identification and sex
determination of juveniles (with carapace lengths of 8 mm or more) of three
grooved shrimps of the genus Penaeus occurring in various areas along the
North American Atlantic coast, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in Bermuda.
Included is an account of the development of the petasmata, thelyca, and
appendices masculinae.

the Shrimp Fishery in A Tri-Parish Area of Louisiana."

and Center for Wetland Resources, Louisiana State University.
This report presents the findings of a study of the social and
demographic aspects of the shrimp fishery in a tri-parish area of Terrebonne,
Lafourche, and St. May, Louisiana. These three parishes were selected so as
to coordinate this sociological study with the studies being carried out by
economists and biologists in the same region. The basis for the
multidisciplinary project is a mark-recapture experiment conducted by a team
of biologists from the Center for Wetland Resources at Louisiana State
University in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service. The
socio-demographic aspect of the study, presented here is intended to provide
