Ward, John M. and Seth Macinko (1996). "Static and Dynamic Implications
of a Gear Modification Designed to Reduce Bycatch in a Stylized
Fishery. Submitted to The Southern Business Journal.
The harvesting of finfish in shrimp fishing operations, known as
incidental take or bycatch, is a complex multi disciplinary and international
fisheries management problem. The discarded bycatch problem in commercial
shrimp fisheries has been addressed internationally with annual estimates of
finfish bycatch ranging from 64 thousand tons to 1 million tons with potential
benefits ranging from $28 million to $1.273 billion. Finfish bycatch is also
a significant domestic fishery management problem with annual estimates
varying from 700 million to 1.7 billion pounds. National concern has been
expressed by an amendment to the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MFCMA), the need expressed by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to
determine the economic impacts on the domestic fishery, the recognition of
non-target species bycatch in three fishery management plans, and the bycatch
policy of the American Fisheries Society. To this end, the bioeconomic
implications of bycatch reduction regulations are addressed employing both
static and dynamic simulation models of a stylized fishery. The intent is to
present an overview of the fishery management problem and the bioeconomic
implications of the proposed management scenario.

Assessment and Fishery Evaluation (SAFE) Report for the Gulf of
Mexico Shrimp Fishery." National Marine Fisheries Service,
Southeast Regional Office, 9721 Executive Drive, North, St.
Petersburg, FL.
A comprehensive review of the available economic and biological data for
the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery. Trends in vessel level operating costs,
total revenue, landings, and net revenue are provided over time. Net revenue
per vessel is declining with the increase in operating costs and the decline
in ex-vessel prices.
