This paper introduces the share system into the traditional static
deterministic model of an exploited fishery. The model is used to answer the
questions (1) How is the share rate determined and how will it affect open
access fishing and the rents earned by boat owners and crew? (2) How will
imperfect competition in the determination of the share rate affect open
access fishing and rent distribution? (3) What are the implications of the
share system for management, and do they differ depending on how the share
rate is determined.?

This model extends the McConnell and Sutinen (1979) and Bishop and
Samples (1980) models of recreational fishing with and without joint
commercial harvest by incorporating a stock externality in the form of a
demand curve for recreational fishing. The effect each participant has on
others, in terms of quality and quantity, is central to an intuitive
understanding of recreational fisheries management and it can be clearly
demonstrated in the demand curve model presented in the paper. The model is
applicable to a number of relevant problems, including joint recreationcommercial
exploitation, but here it is only applied to the optimization of
enhancement, a topic that has not been treated previously.

Process." Marine Resource Economics, 1(1):77-87.
The traditional bionomic fisheries model is expanded to a "bioregunomic"
model by including as an independent part of the system those regulation
agencies and institutions that grant authority to manage and that use that
authority to devise, implement, and enforce specific regulations. In this
approach, the type of regulation used is endogenous to the model. Several
examples of these models are introduced to show the difference between a
bioregunomic yield and either open access or maximum economic yield. Special
emphasis is given to the ways in which the regulatory process can add
uncertainty to fisheries utilization.

edition. The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore.
An excellent introductory text on the management of fisheries using
biological and economic models. The chapter on applied economics is
particularly useful in demonstrating the value of economics to managers.

Management?" Marine Fisheries Review, 49(3):13-25.
The paper analyzes the possibility and the probability of appropriate
use of fundamental economic principles in the fishery management plans
developed under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act. After
reviewing the resource, industry, and government aspects of the fishery
management development process and some of the important aspects of both the
existing law and suggested changes, it is concluded that while the possibility
exists, the probability is quite low. Discussion by James E. Kirkley.
