About one thousand references to shrimp are given. 

 References include those on biology and fishing gear. 



ABSTRACT 



Citations are listed alphabetically by author. 



The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biologi- 

 cal Laboratoiy, Galveston, Tex., is studying the 

 commercial shrimp of the family Penaeidae that 

 inhabit the Gulf of Mexico. As background for 

 this research. Chin and Allen (1959) iniblished 

 literature references on shrimp biology. We now 

 present about one thousand additional references 

 to supplement that list. Most references contained 

 in our report were published from 1958 through 

 1966, although we have included a few that were 

 previously' overlooked. 



Many unpublished reports and theses concern- 

 ing Penaeidae came to our attention while we 

 were compiling the published citations. These un- 

 published reports are presented to indicate addi- 

 tional sources of pertinent information. Published 

 and unpublished references are listed separately. 



We have followed generally the procedure used 

 by Chin and Allen (1959). Keferences are listed 

 alphabetically by the author's surname. Only 

 references concerning shrimp of the family 

 Penaeidae are listed, and the subject is limited 

 primarily to shrimp biology. References concern- 

 ing fishing methods and gear, however, are 

 included because they are useful to fishery biolo- 

 gists. We made no special effort to obtain ref- 

 erences to paleontological studies, the shrimp 

 processing industry, or shrimp statistics, although 

 the list contains some citations in those fields. " 



Additional exclusions from the lists of citations 

 should be noted. We have not included literature

published after 1966. Some articles that concern 

 Penaeidae were not available to us for checking 

 the accuracy of citation and have not been in- 

 cluded. No attempt was made to include all brief 

 notes on shrimp research and shrimp fisheries 

 that appeared in CFR (Commercial Fisheries 

 Review). These notes are cited in the CFR yearly 

 index. Pertinent lead articles appearing in CFR, 

 however, are included. Many Florida State Board 

 of Conservation Special Mimeographed Reports 

 contained pertinent but limited information on 

 shrimp and were excluded. We often excluded 

 popularized articles derived from more basic re- 

 ix)rts already cited in our list, abstracts that were 

 followed by complete reports, and unpublished 

 papers that were superseded by published ver- 

 sions. Some duplication of information, however, 

 was unavoidable.
