Abstract

Damage wrought by the December 1983 freeze to Texas' coastal fishery resources may be years in the accounting. Although estimates of its severity depend on the perspective, most fishery biologists and coastal fishermen agree the holiday-period freeze caused one of the worst, if not the worst, fish kills in the state's modern history.
