176 pgs. This report summarized annual commercial landings and ex-vessel value statistics or finfish and shellfish harvested from Texas bays and the Gulf of Mexico off Texas. Seafood dealers submitted monthly reports of purchase of shrimp, finfish, crabs, and oysters to either Texas Parks and Wildlife or National Marine Fisheries Service. These landings and value data for individual species groups were summarized by bay or Gulf area from which the product was taken by month landed. Total coastwide landings in 1998 were more than 94 million pounds with an ex-vessel value of over $190 million. http://gbic.tamug.edu/request.htm
