hatchery system for pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha. An econometric model
of world salmon markets was used to evaluate possible future pink salmon
enhancement production scenarios, as requested by the Alaska State Legislature
and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Results of this model, based on
point estimates, indicate that if pink salmon production for enhancement were
decreased, revenues to pink salmon fishers in Alaska would rise, although
there would be regional differences. However, a complete elimination of the
Alaska salmon enhancement program would decrease revenues.

for Fishes. American Fisheries Society Symposium, 6:206-208.
Bioenergetics models allow fish growth or food consumption to be
estimated from a combination of laboratory and field data. Models for many
different species of fish have been developed, with slight variations in
approach. Our current microcomputer model merges and simplifies many of the
models that have been developed, with the hope that fisheries researchers and
managers can apply these models to questions relating to fish growth and
consumption under any given environmental or biotic conditions. Model
documentation includes energetics parameters for a wide variety of species
that have been modeled in the past. Other applications-specific inputs
include seasonal temperature regimes, seasonal or ontogenetic changes in
energy density, diet composition, and end points of growth over some time
interval. Adjustments in biomass, due to biotic or abiotic factors, occur
more quickly through growth than through population density. The growth of an
individual is an integrator of food consumption over time. This model uses
the observed growth over some interval of time to calculate an estimate of the
prey biomass consumed over that interval under the given environmental
conditions, and thus it is a powerful tool for estimating predator impact on
prey populations. It can also be used to predict the effect of an
environmental change on growth, or to predict the growth of fish introduced to
new conditions.

A proof of the correct measure of consumer surplus and the Marshallian
measure is presented that greatly simplifies the results of the earlier series
of articles.
