Stock and recruitment data for White Shrimp off the coast of Georgia (USA), 1979-2000.

Description

White Shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus) stock and recruitment data from off the coast of Georgia (USA), 1979-2000.

Format

A data frame with 22 observations on the following 3 variables:

• year: Year of data
• stock: Spawning stock index – CPUE in June assessment surveys
• recruits: Recuit index – commercial landings in pounds from Aug-Jan
• yrconf: A code of confidence for whether or not the stock value is known to come from the year shown (see the note)

Topic(s)

• Stock-Recruit
• Recruitment

Note

No graph was shown for stock values vs. year so some stock values had to be haphazardly paired with recruit values – especially for stock values between 2.5 and 3.0.
