Gulf Shrimp Control Data Tables

These are tables used to process the loads of gulf shrimp data. It contains pre-validation tables, error tables and information about statistics on data loads.

It contains no data tables and no code tables.

data set contains catch (landed catch) and effort for fishing trips made by the larger vessels that fish near and offshore for the various species of shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico. The data set also contains landings by the smaller boats that fish in the bays, lakes, bayous, and rivers for saltwater shrimp species; however, these landings data may be aggregated for multiple trip and may not provide effort data similar to the data for the larger vessels. The landings statistics in this data set consist of the quantity and value for the individual species of shrimp by size category type and quantity of gear, fishing duration and fishing area The data collection procedures for the catch/effort data for the large vessels consist of two parts. The landings statistics are collected from the seafood dealers after the trips are unloaded; whereas, the data on fishing effort and area are collected by interviews with the captain or crew while the trip is being unloaded.

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.
