The objectives of this study are to describe and estimate the overall
economic impact of the commercial fishing industry in terms of their sales and
value added contribution to the U.S. economy, estimate total consumer
expenditures for fishery products, allocate these key economic measures
between the sectors of the industry (fishermen, processors, distributors,
etc.), standardize the process so that the framework can be applied in
subsequent years, and provide documentation of the approach.

By relating changes in revenues to changes in cost over the 1976 to 1986 time
period, indicators of the economic health of each major domestic commercial
fishery under federal management are measured.

This report summarizes the key factors and status associated with each
of 28 Fishery Management Plans initiated between 1976 and 1986. This document
summarizes the biological status, management measures, key economic
information, and the overall status of the resources in each Fishery
Management Plans.

Methodologies Applicable to Sport and Commercial Fisheries."
Draft report, Alexandria, VA.
The draft report covers ex-vessel demand models, recreational benefit
valuation, international trade issues in valuation of commercial fisheries,
commercial fisherman behavior, and multiple objectives in fishery allocation
decisions. The report does not provide a combined approach to addressing
allocation problems between sport and commercial fishermen.

Option?" Marine Policy, (July):197-211.
Limited entry has been instituted in a variety of fisheries in different
countries. The volume of literature evaluating its use and developing ways to
make it more effective as a fisheries management tool is large and growing.
It has not worked well, primarily because rights have created a focus on
harvest, not on husbandry. The efficacy of sole ownership rights in
management of resources of the forest and field are clear. A case for
research and development of sole ownership as a rights system for fishery
resources is made in this article.
