Forestry and Natural Resources. Basil Blackwell, New York.
This books objective is to synthesize and integrate the existing work of
forest economic theory. In a number of cases, however, this involves pushing
the theory forward in new directions of treating new cases that have escaped
earlier investigators, but nevertheless seem worth pursuing.

This report assesses the current state of North Carolina fisheries with
respect to the relationship between effort, catch, and landings and the social
and economic conditions in the fisheries. It collects data on effort control
or reduction systems which are currently in use in other fisheries, and their
characteristics and effects with respect to the needs of North Carolina
fisheries. It conducted fishery constituent workshops on limited entry
alternatives. Finally, it develops a framework to evaluate the
appropriateness of various limited entry alternatives for North Carolina
fisheries.

"Encouraging the Use of Underutilized Marine Fishes by
Southeastern U.S. Anglers, Part I: The Research." Marine
Fisheries Review, 49(2):122-137.
This paper is the first of a two part series that describes and
discusses the integration of research and extension increase to the use of
nontraditional fishes among marine recreational fishermen in the southeastern
United States. Recreational fishermen within this region target and use or
reject fish on the basis of a variety of criteria. Many fish caught
incidentally are discarded because of myth, rumor, or perceived negative
characteristics that mask the species' positive values. To discover the
factors influencing the angler's evaluations concerning the desirability of
fish that ultimately affects their decision to accept or reject a particular
species, we collected judged-similarity and belief-frame comparison data in
Florida, North Carolina, and Texas, analyzing these data with the use of
multidimensional scaling, hierarchical clustering, and entailment analysis.
We briefly describe the use of these procedures in providing for a systematic
understanding of fishermen's perceptions concerning fish and discuss the
implications of our findings for the development of educational material
directed at enhancing the image of certain underutilized species among marine
recreational fishermen.

a Fish: Some Evidence from a Steelhead Fishery." Marine Resource
Economics, 6(1):43-55.
Policy makers and other interested parties frequently request
information on the recreational value of a fish. Although fishing valuation
studies date back at least 25 years, most studies focus on the average value
of a fish. If the purpose of such estimates is to measure the value of
