New England Trawl Fisheries." Fisheries Research, 4:157-165.
This paper outlines the basic components of two personal computer based
bioeconomic simulators for New England otter trawlers and presents selective
results illustrating their use for policy analysis. It has proved difficult
to monitor the economic status of commercial fisheries because of technical,
bureaucratic and cost considerations associated with survey procedures, and
the difficulty of timely acquisition of biological and harvest data. The
author has developed an alternative approach that combines information from
various data bases, including periodic surveys, and integrates them in a
budgeting or economic engineering approach. The result of these adaptations
is a tool useful for extension education as well as for research policy
evaluation.

To date, little empirical or theoretical work has been done on the
external impact of agricultural activities on marine commercial fisheries. In
part, this has been due to the difficulty of establishing quantifiable links
between the two sectors. In this paper, we present a preliminary analysis of
the effects of agricultural nonpoint source pollution on commercial fishing,
an indication of the magnitude of the problem, and a conceptual framework with
which to address this issue.

This paper outlines the basic components of the vessel simulator for
otter trawlers and presents selective results illustrating its use for policy
analysis. It has proven difficult to monitor economic status of commercial
fisheries because of technical, bureaucratic, and cost considerations
associated with survey procedures and the difficulty of timely acquisition of
biological and harvest data. The author has developed an alternative approach
that combines information from various data bases, including periodic surveys,
and integrates them in a budgeting or 'economic engineering' approach. The
result of these adaptations is a tool useful for extension education as well
as for research policy evaluation. As an example the simulation program is
used to evaluate the economic performance of the New England otter trawl
fishing fleet during the period after the 200 mile limit was imposed. Other
applications are suggested for financial advisors and investors.

Prior to the enactment of the Fisheries Conservation and Management Act
of 1976, it was widely anticipated that extension of fisheries jurisdiction to
200 miles by the United States would result in substantial economic benefit to
