The research outlined in this paper is a more complete specification of
the shrimp market interactions that incorporate recent data. A monthly sevenequation
model was formulated as a closer approximation of the relationships
that are endogenous to the shrimp market. More emphasis in this respect was
placed on sources of supply than evident in previous simultaneous models
(Doll, 1972; Batie, 1974).

Available information on the ecology and status of stocks is summarized
for the loggerhead, green, and Kemp's ridley sea turtles found in U.S. waters.
These species are listed as threatened, endangered in Florida waters, and
endangered respectively. The most conspicuous and abundant species is the
loggerhead turtle that appears to have been relatively stable in numbers since
1982. The green turtle, that once supported a significant U.S. fishery,
appears to be increasing in Florida. It is not known if this increase in the
number is from an expansion of range of Caribbean stocks or if there is a real
increase in the number of turtles in the U.S. stock. The Kemp's ridley that
once nested in Mexico in the tens of thousands has been reduced to a nesting
population of less than 600 females. If the status quo remains, this species
will be reduced to 100 nesting females within 60 years.

Fishery dependent data from various commercial and recreational sampling
programs in the U.S. form the basis for characterizing the fishery for dolphin
fishes (Coryphaenus hippurus) in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and off the
southeastern U.S. coast. Many states in the region have implemented size and
bag limits for dolphin fishes, however, there are no federal regulations in
place at this time. Commercial landings in metric tons have been relatively
small in comparison to recreational landings for the time series of data
available from 1984 through 1996. In 1995, however, commercial landings in
the Atlantic Ocean of the southeastern U.S. were almost twice in weight of the
previous years. The average weight per fish was calculated for each water
body and fishing sector and there appear to have been large increases in the
average weight of fish landed both in the commercial and recreational sectors
in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Catch per unit of effort is measured as
numbers of fish caught per angler per hour in the recreational fishery. In
the Gulf of Mexico, recreational CPUE appears to fluctuate and appears to be
decreasing since 1985. CPUE appears to have been increasing in the Atlantic
particularly from 1984 to 1991 and appears to have been decreasing since 1991.

The management of the Canadian Fisheries is under the authority of both
federal and provincial governments. While it is common to the Canadian
confederation that both levels of government have dual roles in many areas of
Canadian life, the situation with respect to the fisheries tends to be more
complicated in the intricacies of federal-provincial jurisdiction. The result
has led at times to genuine confusion as to the management prerogatives over
the Canadian fisheries.
To manage the resource it is considered requisite to have an
understanding of the legislative prerogatives of the federal and provincial
