Data Quality
| Representativeness: |
Although the landings data are comprehensive and represent a near-census of all the shrimp landings in the Gulf of Mexico, Interviews are opportunistic and represent a varying percent of the total offshore trips for various ports along the Gulf of Mexico. In some ports, the cooperation by the fishermen and interview opportunities are high and a relatively large percentage of the trips are interviewed (80 to 90%). In other areas, especially along the lengthy bayous in Louisiana, the opportunities are much more limited and the percentages are often between 5 to 10% of the offshore trips. |
|---|---|
| Accuracy: |
The data represented here is a ten (10) year avarage catch by grouped statistical zone and grouped depth zone. Statistical zones are grouoed 1-9, 10-12, 13-17 and 18-21 comprise the statistical groups. The data are also segmented by four (4) grouped depthzones. These are Inshore, 0-10 fathoms, 10-30 fathoms and >30 fathoms. The data are averaged over ten years. |
| Completeness Measure: |
Data is completed yearly upon receipt of data from states or port agents. |
| Completeness Report: |
Data set complete through 2011. |
| Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
