Estimating Relative Abundance Of Young Of Year American Eel, Anguilla Rostrata, In The Virginia Tributaries Of Chesapeake Bay. Final Report (2003 Reporting Year), Marcel M. Montane, Hank Brooks, Wendy A. Lowery, Aimee D. Halvorson

Reports

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) adopted the Interstate Fishery Management Plan (hereafter referred to as FMP) for the American Eel in November 1999. The FMP focuses on increasing the state’s efforts to collect data on the resource and the fishery it supports through both fishery-dependent and fishery-independent studies. To this end, member jurisdictions (including Virginia) agreed to implement an annual abundance survey for young of year (YOY) American eels. The survey is intended to “…characterize trends in annual recruitment of the young of year eels over time [to produce a] qualitative appraisal of the annual recruitment of American …

Deterministic And Stochastic Capacity Estimation For Fishery Capacity Reduction, James Kirkley, Catherine Morrison Paul, Dales Squires Jan 2004

Deterministic And Stochastic Capacity Estimation For Fishery Capacity Reduction, James Kirkley, Catherine Morrison Paul, Dales Squires

VIMS Articles

Deterministic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic pro- duction frontier (SPF) models are alternative methods for estimating capacity in fisheries. Fishery managers should be aware of likely differences in the capacity estimates obtained from these approaches if such estimates are to be used to support capacity reduction programs. In this paper, we provide a comparative analysis of DEA and SPF capacity estimates for a variety of possible capacity concepts using a panel data set for 10 vessels in the U.S. Northwest Atlantic scallop fishery. We find that DEA capacity output measures are higher than cor- responding SPF measures, but that …
