Assessment of an artisanal shrimp fishery of Litopenaeus vannamei in a lagoon-estuarine system based on the concept of maximum sustainable yield

The apparent simplicity of the concept of the surplus production model has promoted its wide application among fishery managers responsible for the exploitation of offshore shrimp stocks. However, no attempts have been made to utilize it for the assessment of shrimp populations exploited in coastal...
