Green, Trellis G. (1994). "Allocation Between Commercial and
Recreational Sectors in Stressed Marine Fisheries." Society and
Natural Resources, 7:39-56.
This paper provides an overview of the economic approach to open access,
optimum fishery allocation between commercial and recreational users. The
goal is to familiarize noneconomists with efficiency concepts, such as net
benefit, that pertain to optimum allocation. A theoretical model of the
policy trade off between economic efficiency and social equity is also
developed. Net benefit is distinguished from economic impact that cannot
guarantee optimum allocation. Finally, empirical methods are applied to the
red drum fishery in the Gulf of Mexico. Results support policies that
reallocate wild red drum from the commercial to the recreational fishery.
Greenberg, Joshua A., Mark Herrmann, and John McCracken (1995). An
International Supply and Demand Model for Alaska Snow Crab. Marine
Resource Economics, 10(3):231-246.
The Alaska snow crab fishery has increased in commercial importance as
the king and Tanner crab stocks have declined. The commercial success of snow
crab has led to a rejuvenation of the Alaska crab fleet. This success has led
to important economic questions about snow crab markets. This paper is the
first to econometrically model the world snow crab markets and addresses the
specific question of whether a 400 million pound harvest in 1992 would have
enhance gross receipts to the Alaska snow crab fleet. The results do not
support industry s concern that a 1992 400 million pound harvest would have
depressed gross fishery returns.

Demand for Recreational Fishing in Tampa Bay, Florida: A Random
Utility Approach." Marine Resource Economics, forthcoming, May.
An estimation of demand for recreational fishing in Tampa Bay, Florida,
can facilitate the environmental management of the bay. A nested random
utility travel cost model is used to estimate access values. Results suggest
average annual values for the bay alone are $18.14 and $0.048 for participants
and nonparticipants, respectively.

"Estimation of Recreational Anglers' Value of Reef-Fish in the
Gulf of Mexico." Submitted to Resource Economics, January.
Several public policy issues in the Gulf of Mexico region involve the
value of the reef fish recreational fishery. This study estimates the
economic impact of this fishery using a travel cost procedure. The results
indicate that the fishery generates $460 million within the state of Florida
annually.

"Estimation of Recreational Anglers' Value of Reef-Fish in the
Gulf of Mexico." Draft MARFIN report, Department of Food and
Resource Economics, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
September.
Several public policy issues in the Gulf of Mexico region involve the
value of the reef fish recreational fishery. This study estimates the
economic impact of this fishery using a travel cost procedure. Demand for
recreational reef fishing is estimated as a function of travel costs and other
costs paid, and of success of catch. The results indicate that the fishery
