accommodates the variety of interactions between economic behavior and
biological factors and the data needed for that model. The schematics show
the true position of the stocks as constraints on economic activity and are
not an end in themselves. Capacity is also shown to be a constraint on effort
and not causal.

Prices in the North Atlantic Swordfish Fishery." Thesis proposal,

Gainesville, FL, July, 21 pp.
A thesis proposal to develop a model of the swordfish fishery in the
southeastern region. A hypothesis of nonjointness in production will be
tested using the model.
Roedel, Philip M. (1973). "Shrimp '73 - A Billion Dollar Business."
Marine Fisheries Review, 35(3/4):1-6.
A presentation to the Louisiana Shrimp Association that discusses shrimp
landings, imports, and cold storage holdings for 1972. The presentation also
discusses other shrimp fisheries in New England and off the Pacific coast. A
summary of a report by Miller and Nash (1971) on shrimp consumption and a U.S.
Department of Commerce News article on shellfish shell salvaged for commercial
uses are included.

Fisheries Management. Proceedings of a Symposium Held During the
104th annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society, Honolulu,

Fisheries Society, Washington, D.C., 89 pp.
The traditional view of maximum sustainable yield as the philosophic
base for fisheries management programs has come under increasing attack over
the last decade. The opportunity arose to debate the issues at the 104th
Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society with a multidisciplinary
group of experts.

of Shrimp Trawls Designed to Reduce Bycatch in Inshore Waters of
Louisiana. MARFIN Report NA17FF0375-01, School of Forestry, Wildlife,
and Fisheries, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, January, 142 pp.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Authement-Ledet Excluder, Cameron
Shooter, Lake Arthur Excluder, and the Eymard Accelerator Bycatch Reduction
Devices (BRDs) in inshore waters, tests were conducted in three areas of
coastal Louisiana during the spring and fall shrimp seasons using a twin
trawl, with a BRD on one side and a control net on the other. Shrimp and
finfish loss varied between the different BRDs and depended upon the species
and size of organisms within each test area. Estimates of the value of shrimp
loss or gain using each BRD prototype are also provided. BRD designs with
increased finfish reduction and minimal shrimp loss appear achievable.
However, the high variability of bycatch species and length-frequency
distributions suggests that devices may have to be designed for specific areas
and possibly different seasons to release a particular or abundant species.
