Description:

The spiny lobster ("Panulirus argus"), one of Florida's most important fisheries, is harvested with traps. The number of traps in use has risen dramatically since 1960, but total commercial harvest has not varied significantly. In 1992, a trap reduction program was instituted to increase catch rates, decrease conflicts on the water, and reduce environmental damage. This study assesses the number of traps that would maximize the net economic benefits of the fishery. Results show that the number of traps has been reduced since the regulations were put into effect; that the average yield per trap has increased, and that additional reductions would continue to improve the economic efficiency of the fishery.
