Abstract
Abstract The F.C.M.A. has mandated the use of socioeconomic data in conjunction with fisheries management. Registration data compiled by state management systems may prove useful to specify patterns in historic participation in regional fisheries and to conceptualize the problem of maintaining equity in access to the fishing grounds. An analysis of state license data for Texas and Louisiana discloses that there has been considerable variation in participation from year to year, not necessarily synchronized with variability in catch. Historic comparisons of lists of state licensees and potential lists of federal licensees could inform the effort of managers to encourage the optimum use of human effort in harvesting fish.
