Final report of a shrimp vessel cost and returns survey contract of
selected ports in Mississippi and Alabama. Summarized data is provided in the
form of tables with some preliminary analysis of wage rates, returns to owner
for management, returns to the vessel, daily operating costs, and unit
operating costs. Hard copy of the raw data is also included in the file.

This section addresses non-oil spill impacts on the commercial fishing
industry due to loss of access to fishing grounds, and to damage or loss of
fishing gear. The placement of OCS structures, such as production platforms
and pipelines, in the waters of the Outer Continental Shelf, have been shown
to prevent a certain amount of ocean area from being used by fishing industry.
This area foreclosure can lead to a potential reduction in catch for the
industry , and an associated economic loss. OCS oil and gas activity can also
cause loss or damage to fishing gear, due to sea floor structures, debris and
other sea floor disruptions. In certain instances, increased vessel traffic
associated with offshore oil development can cause damage to fixed fishing
gear such as pots or traps.
Cesario, Frank J. (1973). "A Generalized Trip Distribution Model."
Journal of Regional Science, 13(2):233-247.
A new trip distribution model that hypothesizes statistical regularities
in travel behavior is developed. To begin the development of the model,
operational definitions of origin emissiveness and destination attractiveness
were advanced. It was pointed out that heterogeneous trip costs typically
found to exist in trip making systems tend to distort the pure trip patterns
such that the cost of travelling from each origin to each destination must be
explicitly introduced into the analysis. A linear model, for which data
requirements are quite meager, was developed to estimate parameters of the
generalized model and test for existence of origin and destination effects,
cost effects, and origin destination interactions. This model and the ensuing
analysis conform to what is known in statistics as the analysis of covariance.
Cesario, Frank J. (1976). "Value of Time in Recreation Benefit
Studies." Land Economics, 52(1):32-41.
Explicitly incorporating travel time valuations in recreation benefit
analysis seems vastly superior to excluding them on both theoretical and
practical grounds. As further research turns up more refined estimates of
travel time valuations in different circumstances, future studies should make
use of them. In the meantime the results presented here should lead to
improved estimates.
