such as raw fish, are the exception rather than the rule. The study presents
models showing that restrictions on the exportation of raw fish from an
exporting country can make possible monopsony behavior by fish processors in a
rival exporting country and they outline the market behavior of the players
under such circumstances. The analysis illustrates how, under such
conditions, economic forces contribute to the creation of trade disputes. It
further demonstrates how expansion of the demand for final product may,
through trade reversal pressures, dilute the market power of the processor
monopsony and make trade restriction policies irrelevant.

The aims of the study are to review the management practices and
experiences in member countries with a view to identifying common problems and
considering how economic instruments can be applied to improve the efficiency
of the management of living marine resources; to consider the economic aspects
of managing living marine resources, including aspects of structural
adjustment, the management of fisheries with multiple species, highly
migratory species, and straddling stocks; and to identify areas where
international coordination and collaboration may prove useful.

Penaeid Shrimp During Marking Experiments." Fisheries Bulletin,
69(1):247-251.
Personnel of the National Marine Fisheries Service, Biological
Laboratory at Galveston, Texas, have conducted numerous mark recapture
experiments to obtain information on the movement, growth, and mortality of
penaeid shrimp. These experiments were carried out under a variety of
conditions at sea and in coastal bays. Several types of specialized equipment
were developed to overcome problems of holding, handling, and releasing shrimp
during the marking phase of these experiments. Some of this equipment has
been described previously by Costello (1964). Holding tanks, a cooling unit,
and two devices used to transport shrimp to the sea floor are described here.
Engle, Carole R. and Pierre-Justin Kouka (1995). Potential Consumer
Acceptance of Canned Bighead Carp: A Structural Model Analysis. Marine
Resource Economics, 10(2):101-116.
The effects of socio-demographic factors on consumer ratings of product
attributes of an experimental canned bighead product were analyzed. OLS
techniques were used to evaluate the effects of experience consuming other
canned fish products, race, gender, age, and income on the taste, texture,
appearance, and aroma of canned bighead. A logit analysis was then used to
measure the effects of these variables on binary choice variables related to
preference comparisons and willingness to pay as much for canned bighead as
for canned salmon and canned tuna. Responses between the comparisons of
canned bighead and canned salmon or canned tuna varied. Income, region, and
gender significantly affected ratings on product attributes while taste
variables significantly affected consumers willingness to pay as much for
canned bighead as for canned tuna. Conditional probabilities showed more
clearly the effects of age, income, and gender on taste ratings, the
subsequent effects of taste on preferences, and ultimately on willingness to
pay. Probabilities estimated showed that canned bighead competes more
favorably with canned tuna than with canned salmon.
