Abstract
This paper examines the possibilities and implications of using precautionary management approaches to deal with the uncertainty regarding the stock-recruitment relationships in tropical shrimp fisheries. After a brief review of the stock-recruitment problem and related reference points in these fisheries, and in the precautionary approach in general, it proposes an empirical approach to the stock-recruitment relationship as a basis for the determination of safe and risky fishing mortality levels. It illustrates a management strategy based on the seasonal escapement of spawning biomass. Finally, it offers a discussion on the robustness of the empirical approach and on its validation using additional information.
