catch on the catch rates of longline vessels are used to perform a
benefit/cost analysis of a reallocation of juvenile yellowfin through a one
percent decline in purse seine harvest in P.N.G. s EEZ. The marginal benefit
of investment in the yellowfin stock is found to exceed that of marginal cost,
suggesting that there may be an economic case for a reallocation.

"Trends in Texas Commercial Fishery Landings, 1972-1991."
Management Data Series No. 86, Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, Fisheries and Wildlife Division, 4200 Smith School
Road, Austin, Texas.
This report summarizes annual commercial landings and ex-vessel value
statistics of finfish and shellfish harvested from Texas bays and the Gulf of
Mexico off Texas. These landings and value data for individual species groups
are summarized according to bay system or Gulf area from which the product was
taken and by month landed. Total coast wide landings in 1991 were more than
102 million pounds and ex-vessel value was over $199 million. These values
were 11% and 19%, respectively, below the record values of 1986. Shrimp
accounted for 89% of the weight and 94% of ex-vessel value of all seafood
landed in calendar year 1991. During 1991 blue crabs, Eastern oysters and
finfish made up 6%, 3%, and 2% of total landings and 1%, 4%, and 1% of the
total ex-vessel value, respectively. Compared to 1990 prices, the 1991
average unit price for shrimp increased; the unit prices of blue crabs did not
change, while the unit price of Eastern oysters decreased 22%. Finfish unit
prices generally declined.

Restriction: An Equilibrium Approach and Application in the Potash
Industry. Technical Bulletin No. 1834, Resources and Technology
Division, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture,
June, 25 pp.
A three-sector equilibrium open economy model is developed for measuring
welfare effects of a trade restriction. The approach is applied to the
U.S./Canadian trade agreement on potash (USCTAP). The net effect of USCTAP to
U.S. firms, households, and the government over the July 1987-June 1992 period
was a social welfare cost of $815 million. The big losers were U.S. potash
users (-$956 million), while Canadian potash producers (+$723 million), U.S.
potash producers (+$211 million), and other foreign producers (+$99 million)
were the big winners (in 1987 dollars). Other countries that import U.S.
goods that contain potash as an input incurred additional costs of $40
million, due to higher prices of those goods, resulting in a net gain of $59
million to other countries. U.S. taxpayers bear a lighter burden (-$55
million) due to USCTAP.
