price. The lack of viable marketing facilities along the Texas Coast for many
product forms is an important limitation on flow of trawl fish into market
channels.

Effort and Price-Cost Trends in the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery:
Implications on Mexico's Extended Jurisdiction." Marine Fisheries
Review, 40(8):24-28.
This paper reviews the trends in the catch-effort and price-cost
relationships in the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery. In addition, these
relationships provide a rudimentary framework for analyzing the effect of
Mexico's extended 200-mile jurisdiction. This paper updates the data series
presented by Nichols and Griffin (1975) and also provides a more accurate
estimate of fishing effort by shrimp vessels (Griffin, 1977).

"Dynamic Modeling of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery."
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 64(3):475-482.
The impact of alternative management schemes on the shrimp fishery of
the eastern Gulf of Mexico is analyzed and compared to a baseline using
simulation techniques (GBFSM). The fishery's biological and economic
functions are modeled including intraseasonal shrimp growth rates, differences
in demand for shrimp by size, and a heterogenous fishing fleet. Using
consumer and producer surplus techniques, new fishing regulations appear
socially optimal compared to the baseline. A rent maximization scheme
increases social surplus to its highest level. However, applying such a
scheme to one part of the total Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery is not
recommended.

This article incorporates a nonlinear optimization procedure into the
simulation model developed by Grant and Griffin (1979). The simulation model
that integrates the biological relationships and shrimp fleet characteristics
is combined with economic theory into a 12 month analysis that maximizes net
income to the industry (gross returns over costs) over a shrimping season.
The analysis can also evaluate changes in several institutional parameters
that affect the utilization of the common property shrimp resource.
