Description:

This report presents estimates of the cost of operating several alternative systems for holding and landing finfish caught incidental to shrimp trawling operations. Freezer units, brine immersion tanks, an on-board fish meal plant, an extra crew member and a mother-ship concept are the systems evaluated. Break-even prices are estimated that would be necessary to cover operating costs and a 10 percent return on investment. Additionally, problems in traditional work patterns, crew incentives and institutional arrangements are discussed. Comparison of estimated break-even prices with recent market prices indicate that none of the proposed systems are viable except under very restrictive conditions. The mother-ship or tender vessel concept shows the most economic potential but is plagued with problems of coordinating a large number of vessels in an industry where independence of operation is valued highly. The analytical model presented may be used to evaluate other systems not considered directly in this study.
