The research team will be plugging in a number of variables—fish growth rates, mortality, dockside values—so that managers can numerically "model" such problems as when to open shrimp season. The team will be modeling four fisheries—bay scallops, New River shrimp, hard clams and blue crabs in Pamlico Sound. The computer won't untangle all the fisheries problems. But it can give managers a better idea of how their management schemes affect the resource and the people they manage. Managing people means getting out the word about changes in seasons, gear restrictions or regulations to the fishermen who must abide by them. How do fishermen pass the word about regulations changes or a new piece of gear? That's what Jeffrey Johnson wants to find out. He will be talking to fishermen to find out how they transfer information among themselves and how they seek information from other sources. Johnson wants to know if certain fishermen are looked to as innovators and information sources. And he'll want to find out what makes a fisherman a leader—age, education, fishing success or wealth. Johnson's findings will be particularly helpful to Sea Grant marine advisory agents who try to keep fishermen abreast of the latest changes in fishing gear, markets and safety equipment. And a fisherman equipped with the latest fishery innovation may just bring a few more fish back to the dock. And it's not just commercial fishermen who use the resource. What about the thousands who fish for fun? Peter Fricke, Leon Abbas and Jim Sabella have been finding out more about the recreational angler who fishes the North Carolina sounds. And this year, the team will be completing a study started in 1981. They want to know how many fishermen use the state's sounds, what they fish for, how they fish, where they fish, how much money they spend, what their attitudes are toward fisheries management an
