Description:"Trained National Marine Fisheries Service observers collected information on catch rates of shrimp and finfish aboard commercial shrimp vessels. Data from March 1988 through July 1989 comparing TED-equipped nets (Georgia TEDs with and without accelerator funnels) and standard shrimp nets were reported in May 1990 (Phase 1). Data from September 1989 through August 1990 comparing TED-equipped nets (Super Shooter TEDs and Georgia TEDs, both with accelerator funnels) and standard shrimp nets are presented in this report (Phase 2). All subsequent statements refer to the latter time period of September 1989 through August 1990, unless specific reference is made to Phase 1. A comprehensive analysis of the combined data sets will be completed in the future. These reports represent partial fulfillment of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and House Appropriations Committee requirements with respect to TEDs and their economic impact on the shrimp fishery"--Executive summary, paragraph 1.
