spills and releases. While the regulations have the potential to foster more
appropriate compensation as well as prospective incentives to limit damages to
natural resources, several controversial elements, definitions, and
assumptions built into the damage assessment regulations appear to have the
potential to undermine the efficiency and equity of damage assessments. These
issues reflect the difficulty of integrating economic concepts of natural
resource value and their estimation into the legal environment.

Oyster Industry, An Economic Profile for Policy and Regulatory
Analysis." Final report, Saltonstall/Kennedy Project, National
Fisheries Institute, Washington, D.C.
The oyster industry, which encompasses 18 of the 21 coastal states, has
the broadest geographical distribution in the seafood industry. It is the
economic focus of many rural coastal communities and provides direct
employment for watermen and plant processing personnel in addition to
supporting numerous marine-related businesses. The amount of formal
integration between the harvesting, processing, and marketing sectors of the
industry is limited. However, vertical integration is found in large
processing operations that obtain supply through aquaculture and from private
oyster grounds.

Objectives in Goal Programs for Fisheries Management. Marine Resource
Economics, 2(2):175-195.
Allowing for the biological and economic complexities pertaining to a
particular fishery requires a phased, hierarchical approach to fishery
management. Mathematical programming models, particularly goal programs are
applicable to this type of management problem because they can readily
accommodate the constraints and targets set in previous phases as well as any
new ones that may be required. There are a number of goal programming
formulations that may be useful for modeling the objectives of fishery
management problems. Furthermore, economic objectives can be interpreted in
different ways. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a range of goal
programming specifications into which alternative economic objectives have
been incorporated.

This survey was conducted to develop 1977 economic data on the inshore
shrimping industry located in the Louisiana parishes of St. Mary, Lafourche,
and Terrebonne. Economic information was gathered on mean average landings of
shrimp for various boat sizes, as well as mean family size and total family
