Abstract: The Golden Crab commercial fishery has been identified by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council as their top priority for developing catch share programs (summary motions from June 2010). The Council is now considering a catch share program via Golden Crab Amendment Five. Although a recent technical memorandum (NMFS-SEFSC-608) includes catch and productivity analysis, there is little data on the business model including production factors (crab pots, fuel costs etc). The proposed economic survey and its extension would remedy that.
