anching on market structure, salmon prices, ocean and aquacultural
production, and salmon fishing regulation. This paper models the behavior of
a dominant salmon rancher facing a competitive open access fishery using a
dynamic nonlinear programming model. Primary attention is given to production
and regulation influencing strategies of an optimally managed salmon ranch
under selected institutional and biological constraints. The effect of such
behavior is evaluated with regard to salmon prices, natural salmon stocks,
ocean fishing effort, and ocean fishery productivity.

Variable Price of Output." J. Fish. Res. Board Can., 30:509-518.
The majority of work done in the economics of fisheries uses the
assumption of a fixed price of output. This paper describes the effects on
the traditional fisheries model of relaxing this assumption, the most
important of which, as far as regulation agencies are concerned, are the
negation of marginal cost of effort equaling marginal revenue of effort as the
criterion for a social optimum, and the introduction of the possibility of
multiple equilibria and multiple industry profit maxima. Also, some new
insights on fishery management with variable price and different assumptions
about the number of fisheries and the number of countries involved are pointed
out.

Exploitation and Maximum Economic Yield in Biologically and
Technologically Interdependent Fisheries." Journal of the
Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 32:1825-1842.
Fisheries may be interdependent because of biological relationships that
exist between their stocks or because the gear of one affects mortality in the
stock of the other. The problems of defining a maximum sustainable yield in
these cases are discussed. A graphical analysis is used to describe the
combinations of effort from both fisheries where concurrent exploitation is
possible and which of these combinations will result in a simultaneous
equilibrium. Finally the conditions for a combined maximum economic yield
(MEY) are presented and it is shown that they will not hold if each fishery is
managed to obtain an individual MEY.

Management Schemes." Draft report, College of Marine Studies and
Department of Economics, University of Delaware, January, pp. 65.
This paper compares and contrasts four different types of limited entry
management schemes on the basis of specified criteria. This framework
consists of a set of problems that must be addressed to one degree or another
in the implementation and operation of any type of fishery management scheme.
The goal is to describe the best possible adaptation of each of the schemes so
that meaningful comparisons can be made. The final objective will be to
specify under what conditions each of the schemes will be most useful.
