The material included in this report updates that provided in the
February 1995 report (Vaughan it al., 1995) to the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council's (SAFMC) Snapper Grouper Assessment Group. Included are
the latest analysis of length at age data, a summary of landings and length
frequency data from the fishery for 1988 through 1995 fishing years,
application of separable virtual population analysis to two catch at age
matrices, and analysis of yield and spawning stock biomass per recruit.
Complete landings for January of the 1995 fishing year (January, 1996) were
not available at the time this analysis was undertaken.

Day: An Application of a Systematic Varying Parameter Model."
Land Economics, 58(4):450-463.
The objective of this study is to estimate the value in average
willingness to pay terms of a day of freshwater recreational fishing
differentiated by fish species sought. The approach employed involves the
estimation of a varying parameter travel cost model from cross sectional data
on fee fishing sites. This refinement of the traditional travel cost model
attempts to account for the influence of site characteristics - especially the
fish species available for capture - on the demand function for fishing days.

Populations: Comment." Land Economics, 58(3):400-407.
In this comment, we show, using data from Bowes and Loomis (1980), that
misspecification of functional form can produce distorted estimates of
consumers' surplus and commensurate errors in estimates of site value.
Further, we suggest that estimating a linear visitation-travel cost
relationship when the true relationship is nonlinear can produce variance in
the residuals that could be erroneously diagnosed as heteroskedasticity if
either a constructive (Park, 1966) test is applied to the OLS residuals or if
the heteroskedasticity parameter is estimated directly using maximum
likeli(1981). "Research Priorities in the Gulf Shrimp Industry." Mississippi

Nominal grouping is used to arrive at a list of priorities and a
consensus of their importance. The ten items that were considered to be most
important are (1) high cost of fuel, (2) market research to increase per
capita consumption, (3) research on the impact of foreign shrimp imports and
alternative solutions to minimize this impact, (4) excessive governmental
regulation, (5) research on the impact of uniform conservation laws for all
national and international fisheries, (6) pollution of estuaries, (7)
increased utilization of bycatch, (8) loss of the fishing area (Texas
closure), (9) the impact of high interest rates on vessels and inventory, and
