January 10-11, 1997The Coastal Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has collected data on selected marine resources of Galveston Bay since the mid-1950's. The objectives of the Division were defined and programs developed in the spring of 1975 to provide statistically valid data by which the independent sampling programs are utilized to determine long-term trends in relative abundance, distribution, species composition, harvest and mortality of marine resources. Tools available to the methods, times and places. Long-term trends also provide valuable information on the state of the resource in the event of natural or man-made disasters.Item Trends in the relative abundance, size, and catch of selected finfish and shellfish from Galveston Bay: 1978-1996(Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, 1999) Robinson, Lance; Proceedings: The State of the Bay Symposium IV. January 28-29, 1999The recreational and commercial fisheries of Texas are a valuable resource to the citizens of Texas. For 1996 (the most recent year data from both fisheries are available) the total economic impact of these fisheries to Texas was $1.4 billion ($887.6 million recreational and $554.7 million commercial). Of this total, approximately one third can be attributed to the Galveston Bay system. This paper will examine the long-term trends in relative abundance, size, and catch for two popular recreational finfish species [red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and spotted sea trout (Cynoscion nebulosus)] and two commercial shellfish species [blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) and oysters (Crassostrea virginica)].
