imports in establishing prices, and the effects of alternate policy options.
Results indicate that tariffs, at least within realistic ranges, would be only
marginally successful in limiting imports and increasing domestic prices.
Quotas would be more successful than tariffs at achieving the aforementioned
objectives.

fishing industry in Louisiana.

Participants on a Test for Possible Bias Due to Interview
Frequency." Draft report, Center for Coastal, Energy, and
Environmental Resources, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge,

There is a significant, but subtle trend from a flat or slightly more
frequent sampling of high CPUE vessels in the early 1980's to a more frequent
sampling of low CPUE vessels in the late 1980's and 1990's. This trend is in
the direction that would be expected to inflate the estimates of shrimp
fishing effort. The overall effect may not be great, but this remains as one
potential source of bias.
Keithly, Walter R. (1994). "Report to the Gulf Council on Shrimp
Effort." Presented at the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council Meeting in Corpus Christi, Texas, May, 30 pp.
This report presents the results of a review of the Gulf of Mexico
shrimp landings data set. The panel of experts found that a bias in the data
of between 0 and 20 percent exists in the data set. A number of
recommendations are included in the report including the suggestion that
another panel be created to determine the exact magnitude of the bias and
methods that could correct it.
Keithly, Walter R. (1999). Analysis of a Short Run Production Function for
Highly Migratory Species (HMS). NMFS contract Number 40GANF600144,
Louisiana State University, Coastal Fisheries Institute, October, 34 pp.
An economic analysis of the U.S. based surface long-line fishery
operating in the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Region is
provided. The analysis is conducted at the trip level since this is likely to
be the level at which short run decisions are most relevant to the individual
firm whose other components of effort are fixed during this period of time.
This aggregate analysis will help explain the response in aggregate catch to
changes in the short run inputs under the control of the individual fishing
firm at the trip level and can be used to help analyze the potential in
aggregate trip catch that might be forthcoming as a result of regulations that
limit activities at the trip level but are not specific to individual species.
Non-separability in outputs and jointness in inputs suggests that attempts to
manage any particular species in this multi-product sector must consider
possible spillover effects into the other fisheries.
