dc.description.abstractIn early 1974, a postal recall survey of 12.5% of Texas' licensed sport shrimp fishermen was conducted to determine the seasonal and geographical distribution of their harvest during 1973 and to compare the sport shrimp harvest with that of the commercial shrimp fishery. Seasonal and geographical harvest estimates were derived from the analysis of 937 responses, representing 9.3% of the total number of licensed shrimp fishermen. Comparison of the sport and commercial shrimp harvest indicated that approximately 1.1% (900,823 lb) of the total Texas shrimp harvest was taken by sport fishermen; sport fishermen took about 5.7% (845,747 lb) of the shrimp harvested from Texas' bays and approximately 0.5% (55,077 lb) of the shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to Texas.en_US
