Because dolphins sometimes travel with yellowfin tuna, Thunnus
albacares, in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP), purse seiners use the
dolphins to locate and capture tuna schools. During the process of setting
the purse seine nets, dolphins often become entangled and drown before they
can be released. Data for the U.S. purse seine fleet in the ETP during 1979-
88 show that dolphin mortality rates in sets made during the night are higher
than mortality rates in sets made during the day. Even with efforts to reduce
night set mortality rates through the use of high intensity floodlights, night
set mortality rates remain higher. The data are also used to simulate a
regulation on the fishery aimed at eliminating night sets and show that
dolphin mortality rates would decrease.

and Economics, 3:1-44.
This paper is concerned with those actions of business firms that have
harmful effects on others. The real question is whether A should be allowed
to harm B or should B be allowed to harm A with the avoidance of the more
serious harm. What answer should be given is not clear unless we know the
value of what is obtained as well as the value of what is sacrificed to obtain
it. The problem has to be looked at in total and at the margin.

Rock shrimp were collected monthly from the west Florida shelf during
Project Hourglass. A total of 973 rock shrimp were weighted, measured, sexed,
and examined for morphological variation. Ovaries of 463 females were removed
and classified and studies of carapace length for males and females were
conducted. Rock shrimp is a generalize carnivore feeding primarily on
mollusks and crustaceans. Feeding activity is nocturnal and occurs yearlong.
No economically important concentrations of rock shrimp were found in the
study area, but populations with apparent economic potential have been
reported off Cape St. George, Florida, Cape Canaveral, and Isla Contoy,
Mexico.

The purpose of this book is to present a comprehensive account of
sampling theory as it has been developed for use in sample surveys, with
illustrations to show how the theory is applied in practice and with a supply
of exercises to be worked by the student.
