Methodology:

* Coastal Fisheries Resource Monitoring dataset selected data (flounder and snapper data) were analyzed, and Annual "catch-per hour" data were plotted in a simply x-y graph.

* These flounder and snapper data are a subset of a larger dataset known as the Coastal Fisheries Resource Monitoring dataset or Fisheries-Independent Resource Monitoring dataset. Here is a link to a review and description (page 12) done by American Fisheries Society: https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/nonpwdpubs/media/afs_fisheries_divisions_science_review_report.pdf

* There is not a URL for the dataset but the data are available upon request from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

* Data were plotted as an x-y graph.
