This report contains the results of a working group that examined
alternative approaches of limiting access to the Pacific coast groundfish
fishery.

This study reviews the current problems in the fishery, the various
regulatory options, and analyzes the advantages of various feasible
approaches.

It is often asserted that measuring benefits from marketed goods is a
relatively easy task compared to the problem of measuring nonmarket values.
However, this approach becomes more problematical when market data is
confidential and unavailable to the analyst, when externalities and unpriced
inputs are important, and when pervasive regulations and institutional norms
impose nonprice constraints on firms, consumers, and primary resource
suppliers. The commercial fisheries exhibit all these complications. Hence,
practical assessment of economic benefits from fisheries involves a variety of
special models, approximations, and approaches which are tailored to specific
circumstances. Choosing from among these necessarily calls upon the
independent judgement of the analyst. This chapter seeks to assist in those
judgements.

This report summarizes the existing economics literature concerning open
access, bioeconomic dynamics, behavior of the fishing fleet under regulatory
constraints, and conditions of labor supply and provides specific guidance
incorporating the following in benefits estimates: Entry and exit of fishing
firms, Labor supply in fisheries, measurement and costs of fishing effort, and
effects of multi-species fisheries with targeting behavior.

Widespread alarm over depletion of the world s marine fish stocks and
possible collapse of ocean ecosystems is one of the most predominant perceived
risks in fishery management. The perception is that high levels of harvest
could more or less permanently diminish the economically valuable fish
resources and marine mammal populations. Cod on the Grand Banks off
Newfoundland, red king crab in the Bering sea, and the listing of northern sea
lion populations in the western Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Island as
endangered species are three examples of the most dramatic risks. This paper
