The main thesis of this paper is that optimal control theory is formally
identical with capital theory, and that its main insights can be attained by
strictly economic reasoning. This thesis will be supported by deriving the
principal theorem of optimal control theory, called the maximum principle, by
means of economic analysis.

Proceedings of a Workshop held at Ottawa, November 12-14, 1980,
Canadian Special Publication of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 58,
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ottawa, 1981.
This publication contains the proceedings of a Workshop on bottom trawl
surveys, as applied to the assessment of groundfish and shrimp stocks. The
Workshop reviewed the history of trawl surveys in the Northwest Atlantic and
discussed problems associated with survey design, abundance estimation and
sampling techniques. The value of research survey data has been clearly
demonstrated and the benefits of improved accuracy and efficiency are now
evident. Finally, the proceedings contain specific recommendations on various
aspects of survey design, abundance estimation and trawl technique to form a
basis for improved surveys in the future.

"Bioeconomic Relationships for the Maine Lobster Fishery with
Consideration of Alternative Management Schemes." NOAA Technical
Report NMFS SSFR-683, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, Seattle, WA,
March, 44 pp.
The objectives of this study are to measure the biological factors that
determine the trend and fluctuations in abundance and production of the Maine
American lobster; to analyze the impact of such economic forces as the demand
for lobster and cost of operations on the production of lobster from this
biological resource; to measure the returns to lobster boat owners operating
in the fishery; to establish a model for evaluating the economic - biological
interrelationships so important to fisheries management; to analyze the impact
on fishermen and the lobster resource of alternative management schemes
designed to prevent excessive capitalization of the fishery; to determine if
the economy and fishing industry will be improved by better fishery
management.
Dower, Roger C. and Paul F. Scodari (1987). "Compensation for Natural
Resource Injury: An Emerging Federal Framework." Marine Resource
Economics, 4:155-174.
This paper provides an overview of the emerging "Superfund" natural
resource damage assessment and compensation framework and a review of several
economic and legal issues that are likely to affect the ability of the
framework to achieve its objectives. The Superfund Act as amended establishes
a federal regulatory structure that provides a legal "legitimization" for the
use of economic based nonmarket valuation techniques in judicial proceedings
involving natural resource injuries resulting from oil and hazardous waste
