and effort as control variables, two empirical studies on North Sea herring
and Pacific whiting, and contrasting with biological management techniques.

Systems: The Case of Tuna in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic."
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 13(1):50-68.
The commercial tuna fishery in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic is based on
harvests from three species of tuna: Yellowfin, Skipjack, and Bigeye. Two
models are developed to examine the bioeconomics of this fishery. In the
first model, species are presumed ecologically independent and selectively
harvested. In the second model, two of the species (Yellowfin and Skipjack)
are assumed to be interspecific competitors and jointly harvested independent
of the third species (Bigeye). Data on landings, effort, cost, and revenue
are assembled allowing estimates of the bioeconomic parameters for the model
where all species are independent and selectively harvested. Open access and
bioeconomic equilibria are identified for a combination of cost and discount
rates. The pristine, open access, and bioeconomic equilibria are also
determined for the multispecies model based on parameters from the single
species (independent) models and plausible values for interaction and joint
production coefficients. Equilibria are compared, and management policies
from a single and multispecies perspective are explored.

The text deals with resource allocation and optimization, renewable and
nonrenewable resources, environmental management, and stochastic resource
models in a dynamic context. It is intended to fill the perceived gap between
theoretical analysis and empirical applications of that theory using the
solution to numerical problems approach.

These lectures are an attempt to review the relatively recent advances
in dynamic modeling and production theory as they relate to the economic
management of single and multiple species fisheries. They will also assess
the impediments to applying modern production theory when estimating
bioeconomic parameters. The first lecture reviews the relationship between
the production function, the growth function, and the yield effort function
for the single species fishery and extends these concepts to the multispecies
fishery using the multiple output production function. In the second lecture,
the early literature on fisheries production is reviewed. The assumptions
underlying duality based estimation techniques as they relate to multispecies
production are examined in greater detail. The third lecture discusses recent
empirical work on the New England trawler fleet.
