Commercial fishery data from a proposed ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) site in Puerto Rico
This report describes the fish resources at a proposed OTEC site based upon commercial fisheries data from Puerto Rico. Records of commercial landings and relative fishing effort are used to examine temporal fluctuations in the abundance of exploited fish stocks at a proposed OTEC site located off the southeast coast of Puerto Rico (PROTEC), 17/sup 0/57'N, 65/sup 0/52'W). Such data are useful as a first approximation of natural fluctuations in the fish populations so that initial potential impacts of plant operations may be considered. The information will provide OTEC plant designers with an idea of the economic value of the fisheries in the vicinity of the proposed site. Detailed data are presented. (WHK)
