ecreational fishing to the economy of Maine. An industry valued at over $79
million supports about 200,000 anglers who make 576,000 trips seeking their
favorite species. A large contingent of nonresident or tourist anglers are
drawn to the quality fishing opportunities the state has to offer and bring
over $9 million new dollars into the state s economy each year.

The analysis in this report indicates the importance of marine
recreational fishing to the economy of Massachusetts. An industry valued at
over $442 million supports about 600,000 anglers who make 2.5 million trips
seeking their favorite species. A large contingent of nonresident or tourist
anglers are drawn to the quality fishing opportunities the state has to offer
and bring over $50 million new dollars into the state s economy each year.

Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 9:11-28.
The deterministic models applied in economics of fisheries are extended
to comprise price uncertainty and risk aversion among the fishing units. It
is proved that in the open access fishery both the total fishing effort and
the number of fishing units are reduced as the variance of the price
increases; that the total fishing effort may be smaller in the open access
fishery than in the optimal fishery at a high variance; that only a fixed
producer price system can create a first best optimum, and that a tax on
revenue is more efficient than both fishing unit quotas or tax on catch.

Review of Basic Methods and Results." Marine Resource Economics,
1(2):117-136.
Basic bioeconomic models that incorporate uncertainty are reviewed to
show and compare the principal methods used and results reported in the
literature. Beginning with a simple linear control model of stock
uncertainty, we proceed to discuss more complex models that explicitly
recognize risk preferences, firm and industry behavior, and market price
effects. The effects of uncertainty on the results of bioeconomic analysis
are rarely unambiguous, and in some instances differ little from corresponding
deterministic results.
Andersen, Peder and Jon G. Sutinen (1985). "Open Access Exploitation of
a Simple Fishery." Draft of Chapter 2 from Peder Andersen and Jon
G. Sutinen, The Economics of Fisheries Exploitation, unpublished.
This chapter establishes the basic bioeconomic framework that is an
extension of the conventional micro firm and industry framework to account for
what most regard as the most fundamental aspects of the fishery. The first
unique feature to account for is that production involves extraction or
harvest of a renewable natural resource. The second unique feature is that
most fisheries are under open access, that is property rights are not private
and exclusive.
