Book Review of the 1986 Texas Closure for the Shrimp Fishery Off Texas and Louisiana

Download or read book Review of the 1986 Texas Closure for the Shrimp Fishery Off Texas and Louisiana written by Edward F. Klima and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The implementation of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery management plan (FMP) in May 1981 permitted, for the first time, closure of the brown shrimp fishery fran the coastline to 200 nautical miles off the Texas coast. The objectives of the Texas closure management measure were to increase the yield of shrimp and to eliminate waste caused by discard of undersized shrimp in the fishery conservation zone (FCZ). According to the FMP, shrimp yield would be increased by protecting shrimp fran fishing during the period when they were predominantly small and were growing rapidly. Discards would be reduced by eliminating the count restriction in order to allow all shrimp caught to be landed. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (GMFMC) agreed to continue this seasonal closure of the brown shrimp fishery off the Texas coast in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and again in 1986. The 1986 Texas Closure was implemented fran 10 May to 2 July 1986, but unlike other years the area closed was only fran the coastline to 15 nautical miles off the Texas coast. It was determined by the Council that this type of closure would still allow small brown shrimp to be protected from harvest but would also allow the taking of larger brown shrimp by fisherman in deeper waters"--Introduction, paragraph 1

This book was released on 1983 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brown shrimp production in statistical subareas 18-21 from June 1981-May 1982 amounted to 41.5 million pounds. Peak produc- tion occurred from July-Sept, which accounted for 74% (30.7 million pounds) of the total landings in that biological year. High catches and extremely good levels of relative abundance occurred off the Texas coast in July and August. The peak in CPUE of almost 21400 pounds/day occurred in July but dropped to 1,400 pounds/day in August. Production of brown shrimp from Sept-Dec amounted to 14.1 million pounds with an average CPUE of around 650 pounds/day. In the Jan-Apr period, production amounted to only a half million pounds with the CPUE falling to an average of approximately 270 pounds/day"--Summary, paragraph 1.

Book Review of the 1983 Texas Closure for the Shrimp Fishery Off Texas and Louisiana

Download or read book Review of the 1983 Texas Closure for the Shrimp Fishery Off Texas and Louisiana written by Edward F. Klima and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The implementation of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery management plan (FMP) in May 1981 permitted, for the first time, closure of the brown shrimp fishery from the coastline to 200 miles off the Texas coast and was in effect from 22 May to 15 July 1981. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (GMFMC) agreed to continue the seasonal closure of the brown shrimp fishery off the Texas coast in 1982 and again in 1983 and implemented the third closure from 27 May to lS July. The objectives of the Texas closure management measure are to increase the yield of shrimp and to eliminate waste caused by discard of undersized shrimp in the fishery conservation zone (FC̃). According to the FMP, shrimp yield would be increased by protecting shrimp from fishing during the period when they are pre- dominantly small and are growing rapidly. Discards would be reduced by eliminating the count restriction in order to allow all shrimp caught to be landed. The purpose of this report is to provide information to determine how well the objectives of the Texas closure regulations were achieved in 1982 and 1983. This report reviews and analyzes the characteristics of the Texas and Louisiana fisheries west of the Mississippi River and describes the catch, fishing. effort, relative abundance and recruitment to the offshore fishery from June 1982-Aug 1983"--Introduction

Book Cities and Their Vital Systems

Download or read book Cities and Their Vital Systems written by Advisory Committee on Technology and Society and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 1298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics," the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.

Book A Bibliography of NOAA Technical Memoranda Issued by the Southeast Fisheries Science Center of the National Marine Fisheries 1972 1993

Download or read book A Bibliography of NOAA Technical Memoranda Issued by the Southeast Fisheries Science Center of the National Marine Fisheries 1972 1993 written by Harriet M. Corvino and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) is one of five regional fishery research centers of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). In 1970, the NMFS was organized as a component of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Fisheries Science Centers provide scientific information required for decisions relating to the conservation and management of fishery resources, and the protection of fishery habitats, endangered and threatened species. In 1972, the NOAA Technical Memorandum series was established and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center began the publication of research reports. The purpose of this series is timely dissemination of the results of scientific research. The series also affords the SEFSC a means of publishing research results in greater depth and detail than is normally allowed by scientific journals, which usually have stringent length restrictions. To address the difficulties of identification and location of these publications, we present the following listing of SEFSC Technical Memoranda from number 1 (1972) to number 340 (1993). They are available from their originating laboratories or from the National Technical Information Service. A directory of these sources is provided on page 2"--Introduction

Book The Bay Shrimpers of Texas

Download or read book The Bay Shrimpers of Texas written by Robert Lee Maril and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shrimpers who fish the shallow coastal waters of Texas fight a constant battle for survival—contending with shrimpers who fish the deeper gulf waters, competing with weekend sportsmen, wrangling with government regulations, and dodging environmentalists' incriminations. Add competition from the international market, an ominous threat frequently overlooked by bay fishermen, and the shrimpers; chances of winning—at least with their current lifestyle intact—are slim. In The Bay Shrimpers of Texas, Lee Maril explores the successes and failures of the shrimpers who prowl remote bays, rivers, and estuaries for their livelihoods. Through random sample surveys of fishermen, participant observation, and historical analysis, he examines the political, economic, and social realities confronting the shrimpers and their families. Legal and environmental constraints, price instability, work hazards and benefits (only one percent of the shrimpers surveyed had health insurance), rivalry with gulf and sport shrimpers, and conflict with Vietnamese refugees are all factors that affect the outlook for shrimping. Portraying the shrimpers' lives on land and water, Maril describes their boats, equipment, and various fishing strategies (both legal and illegal) used to survive in an increasingly competitive occupation. He gives an in-depth and personal look at an industry that in many ways has changed little over the last century and in others has haphazardly evolved as it enters into a ruthlessly competitive world marketplace. The prospects for bay fishing—a vital part of the cultural identity and tradition of many small coastal towns—are uncertain. By examining the past and clearing up misperceptions and myths, Maril provides valuable insight into not just the future survival or demise of one industry in a global economy, but the future of small business as a whole.
