Table 2. Net present value (NPV; billions of 2008 dollars per year) for spatial management scenarios under various reductions of shrimp catch.

Scenario Reduction in shrimp catch
10% 20% 30% 40% 50%
Vaquita refuge 3.006 2.982 2.958 2.934 2.909
Extended refuge 2.960 2.922 2.882 2.844 2.805
Primary area 2.965 2.913 2.867 2.820 2.761
Distribution area 2.657 2.628 2.599 2.570 2.538

We applied a range of reductions in shrimp catch in the light trawl fleet relative to the shrimp driftnet fleet (10%–50%), as shrimp catch in the light trawl will be dependent on fishers' experience and training [25], [43]. NPV for the No management scenario was 2.853.
