The shrimp fishery of the South Atlantic United States: A regional management plan

Abstract Marine fishery resources often have been difficult to manage because no single agency has had effective control over utilization of the resources. Recently, in the United States a State-Federal program has been developed to provide better management of marine fishery resources. One product of this approach has been the development of a regional management plan which joins the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in a partnership to manage the South Atlantic shrimp fishery. The plan presented here describes a regional management system that will allow states to standardize their laws, regulations and enforcement practices; coordinate research and management activities; develop a regional catch and effort statistics program; and better evaluate the impact of management decisions both within states and regionally. The plan has five objectives which account for biological, economic, and institutional factors that affect the fishery. Present management regimes are described and a schematic model of a proposed regional system is given. In addition, two shrimp management models, which will be an integral part of that system, are presented. Capabilities of present and future management systems are described including the present structure of the South Atlantic States Regional Marine Fisheries Management Board. Major recommendations of the plan including their present status are given. A management action program summary concludes the report.

Advances in Marine Biology

The series Advances in Marine Biology has been providing in-depth and up-to-date reviews on all aspects of marine biology since 1963 - more than 50 years of outstanding coverage from a reference that is well known for its contents and editing. This latest addition to the series includes updates on many topics that will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, and biological oceanography. Specialty areas for the series include marine science, both applied and basic, a wide range of topical areas from all areas of marine ecology, oceanography, fisheries management, and molecular biology, and the full range of geographic areas from polar seas to tropical coral reefs. * Reviews articles on the latest advances in marine biology* Authored by leading figures in their respective fields of study* Presents materials that are widely used by managers, students, and academic professionals in the marine sciences* Provides value to anyone studying bottlenose dolphins, deep-sea macrofauna, marine invertebrates, pinna nobilis, and ecology, amongst other study areas

Biological and Economic Aspects of the Management of Commercial Marine Fisheries

Conservation management of the commercial marine fisheries has the general objective of maximizing manˈs long-term benefits from the exploitation of the fish resources. The question of what is most beneficial to man involves both biological and economic considerations. In this paper some of the effects of fishing on the fish stocks, and on the sustainable yields from them, are considered, together with important economic factors. It is indicated that the maximum sustainable average catch and the maximum net economic yield are mutually exclusive. It is possible, however, to obtain some net economic yield at the level of maximum sustainable harvest, but this requires some modification of the common property nature of fish stocks.

Contribution of Biology and Oceanography to Increased Harvest of Marine Fishes

Management of marine fisheries, when compared to agriculture, is handicapped by the small amount of influence that can be exerted in any phase of fish production except the harvest. However, fishery science can contribute to increased fish catches in several ways. Although planting of hatchery-reared marine fish has been of little use, cultivation of marine animals, particularly of molluscs, can produce increased quantities of seafood. There is a possibility of inducing artificial up-wellings of more fertile bottom waters. Scientific investigations can help avoid artificial and unnecessary limitations which restrict efficient fishing operation. Research can also point out ways to avoid waste of fish and fishing effort which results from depletion of heavily exploited stocks. Predictions of availability and of abundance and correlation of such predictions with hydrographic conditions can assist fishing operations. Studies in fish behavior and reactions under given circumstances can aid in the design and operation of fishing gear.

Regional Divisions by the Marine Productions and Fishery Management in Ishikawa-ken

The fishery flourishes remakably in Ishikawa-ken along its long coast line. Many types of fishery is carried on, although it can by no means be called, a modernized management. We made the regional divisions along the, coast of Ishikawa-ken, using both marine productions and fishing methods, as the basis of division, and four divisions and nine subdivisions were found.
