Abstract

The relationship between spawning stock and recruitment in penaeid shrimp fisheries has been questioned because they exhibit unique characteristics with respect to population dynamics and fisheries. This study used meta-analyses to test the null hypothesis that recruitment is a series of random, independent events based on the penaeid shrimp stocks found in published sources. Both the derivative hypothesis test and Granger causality test rejected the null hypothesis. Thus, recruitment is related to spawner abundance. Shrimp populations should be managed so as to maintain sufficient spawning stock abundance to yield high recruitment.
