This study assesses the economic feasibility of imposing a quota on
shrimp imports. Thai study was based on the primary hypothesis that a quota
on shrimp imports, if used by itself and not coordinated with a program
designed to limit the entry of more craft into the industry, would not improve
the economic position of the average shrimp fisherman in the industry. More
specifically, it was hypothesized that a quota would increase wholesale and
ex-vessel prices more than they would have increased without the quota; the
increase in prices would encourage the entry of more craft into the industry;
and the increase in the number of craft in the industry and rising cost would
prevent the real revenue per craft from increasing. A secondary objective of
this study was to assess the economic feasibility of imposing a limit on the
number of craft in the industry. It was hypothesized that a limit on the
number of craft in the industry, if used by itself, would not increase the
deflated revenue per craft. Another secondary objective was to assess the
effect on the shrimp population of increases in fishing effort. It was
hypothesized that increases in fishing effort would overfish the shrimp
population and actually reduce the quantity of shrimp supplied.

This article shows how to mathematically decompose changes in the
conditional mean of the Poisson and negative binomial models. The importance
of the decomposition is demonstrated by decomposing elasticities and changes
in expected consumer surplus. The usefulness of the various decompositions is
demonstrated by applying them to the Gulf of Mexico recreational red snapper
fishery. The application suggests that more information can be extracted from
the estimated coefficients of the Poisson and negative binomial models than is
commonly realized.

The recommendations of a workshop to facilitate recovery of the monk
seal population at Midway were the basis for developing recovery actions
presented in this document. Workshop participants were presented background
data on the Midway monk seal population, results of the 1992 monk seal
rehabilitation and translocation to Midway, population trend data for certain
Midway reef fishes, and results of the Kure Atoll monk seal recovery efforts
during 1985-91 and 1993-95.
