California Dept. of Fish and Game have published a report entitled "California's Living Marine Resources: A Status Report".The entire report can be viewed at the CFG website. Management strategies and status are discussed for a variety of species and provide interesting and relevant reading. Our spot prawn industry is in a similar situation and is in need of an ongoing, sound management plan to ensure future viability. Three sections of the report, of particular interest to our prawn industry are available here: Spot Prawn  (pdf file - 193k) Coonstripe Shrimp  (pdf file - 143k) Management Considerations  (pdf file - 426 k)
