A summary of a briefing to the Regional Directorate, Fisheries
Management, and Economics Division from a banker's perspective on ITQ's and
commercial stability. Support for the contention that ITQs reallocate rents
from quasi-fixed factors of production to relative more fixed factors of
production (ITQs). In this case, however, it is to the detriment of the
financial community that provides loans and working capital to fishermen.

Financial Condition of the American Tuna Purse Seine Fleet."

This analysis updates the economic analysis in the Environmental Impact
Statement using cost and earnings data provided by Virginia Flagg. The
purpose is to present estimates of profitability of the tuna purse seine fleet
in 1976 before allowance for any impact that porpoise kill-quotas or other
regulatory measures may have on the fleet.
Alvarez, Jose, Chris O. Andrew, and Fred J. Prochaska (1976). "Dual
Structural Equilibrium in the Florida Shrimp Processing Industry."
Fishery Bulletin, 74(4):879-883.
Stability, entry, exit, and mobility patterns for six size categories of
firms in the Florida shrimp processing industry for the 1959-71 period were
studied by utilizing Markov Chain analysis. Forecasts over time predict that
a structural equilibrium in the industry will be achieved by 1985. The
forecasted changes in firm distribution suggest that Florida shrimp industry
sales will become increasingly concentrated due to expansion in number of both
small and large firms. A dual equilibrium, resulting in fewer medium size
firms and more small and large size firms, can be explained by the tendency
for small firms to develop a specialty product and/or services to
differentiate their markets from those of the very large firms. Medium sized
firms, then, tend to expand in size, or decline and either move to specialty
products and services or exit from the industry.
