The report considers the main resources of the region, their productivity, population dynamics and estimates of potential yield under several headings, namely, sharks, reef fish, coastal pelagics, menhaden, spiny lobster, crabs and molluscs. A description of the principal fisheries by region is followed by a summary of available information on the status of the stocks, including assessments already in the literature, and new assessments reported here for the first time.
