This report provides 1) nominal commercial landings by U.S. fishermen of
red snapper and groupers (groupers are unclassified as to species in the
reporting statistics except for warsaw grouper (E. nigritus) and jewfish (E.
itajara) from the Gulf of Mexico for 1962-1985, 2) estimates of catches of red
snapper, red grouper, gag grouper, and black grouper by U.S. recreational
fishermen for 1978-1985, and 3) results of a preliminary CPUE analysis of
daily fishing logs of recreational charterboats catching red snapper, red
grouper, gag grouper, and black grouper.

An assessment of the yellowfin tuna fishery in the southeastern United
States for the 1980-85 time period. Two major factors explaining the rise in
yellowfin tuna production are the increased demand for sashimi and sushi in
this country and falling rates of return in alternative opportunities such as
swordfish longlining.

Management." Presented at the International Conference on
Fisheries Economics, Os, Norway, May 26-28.
The improvement of fishermen's income is one objective of fishery
management systems especially in developing countries. Yet, it is difficult
to find cases where such an objective has been attained. The purpose of this
paper is to consider the reasons for the widespread failure to achieve a
sustainable improvement in fishermen's incomes and to make policy proposals
designed to improve the changes of achieving this goal in the future. The
conclusions reached seem likely to be especially relevant to developing
countries, but may also apply to developed countries with regions that are
dependent on fishing.

Management." Marine Resource Economics, 9(3):241-252.
The improvement of fishermen's income is often a central objective of
fisheries management programs, especially in developing countries. This paper
considers the determinants of fishermen's incomes and discusses the way in
which different management methods may be expected to affect incomes. Stress
is laid upon the difference between wealth and income. It is argued that many
management measures are likely to have a significant effect on wealth but
little, if any, on income. In designing management systems which have income
improvement as a goal, care needs therefore to be taken if a sustainable
