DeGeorge, Frank (1992). "North Pacific Fisheries Amendments Lack
Adequate Support." U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of the
Inspector General, Office of Audits, NOAA Division.
The economic analysis of amendments 18 and 23 - Proposed
Inshore/Offshore Allocation to the Fishery Management Plans for the Groundfish
Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska was
inadequate because the council did not apply a cost-benefit framework to the
analysis in spite of legal requirements and sound economic principles.
Moreover, the economic model applied by the council was inappropriate and
produced unreliable results. Our conclusions of the economic analysis are
consistent with assessments made by the council's own committee of scientific
and statistical experts and NMFS economists.

Analysis of Potential Regulatory Changes on the Economic Structure
of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Finfish Industry Centered in
Florida." Department of Food and Resource Economics, University
of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
Long term and seasonal production and market trends for mullet and
seatrout in Florida are analyzed. Annual boat level earnings profiles for
fishermen producing mullet, seatrout, and complementary species are estimated.
Economic impacts on fishermen resulting from alternative resource management
policies are analyzed on a statewide basis and also for individual counties.
For the mullet industry, basic elements of market structure and concentration
are examined, and market channels and product flows for mullet in the round,
red and white roe, and other mullet products are described.
Dellenbarger, Lynn E. and Alvin R. Schupp (1987). "Socio-Economic
Factors Influencing Catfish Consumption." Paper submitted to the
Journal of The World Aquaculture Society.
Catfish are a major aquacultural species in the United States. As
production expands through increased acreage and improved production
practices, additional knowledge of market opportunities for catfish is needed
to direct further expansion of the industry. This study analyzes the socioeconomic
characteristics associated with home consumption of catfish. Data
were obtained through a questionnaire mailed to residents in seven
metropolitan areas in 1986. A logit analysis, that determines the
relationship between family size, race, income, occupational status, and
location of the household, and the probability of catfish consumption was
conducted. Results of the analysis indicate that family size, family income,
and occupational status of the household head positively influence the
probability of at home catfish consumption., Presence of children in the
household was a characteristic found to reduce the probability of household
catfish consumption.
Demsetz, Harold (1967). "Toward a Theory of Property Rights." American
Economic Review, 57(May):347-359.
The paper discusses the concept and role of property rights in social
systems, offers guidance for investigating the emergence of property rights,
and sets forth some principles relevant to the coalescing of property rights
into particular bundles and to the determination of the ownership structure
