Analysis." Chapter 8 in Upton Hatch and Henry Kinnucan (eds.).
Aquaculture, Models and Economics. Westview Press, Boulder,

Rapid expansion in the production of farm-raised shrimp during the
1980's concerns the domestic shrimp industry and is the basis for recent
attempts at limiting imports. A simultaneous equation model including the
U.S. and Japan shrimp import markets and U.S. dockside demand was used to
quantify the impacts of shrimp aquaculture on U.S. imports and domestic warm
water dockside shrimp prices. Results suggest that current, i.e., 1988-1989,
U.S. shrimp import levels would be about 175 million pounds below observed
levels in the absence of shrimp aquaculture and that the U.S. import price
would be about 70% higher. The domestic dockside warm water shrimp price
would also be significantly higher. Quotas and tariffs were also shown to
positively influence domestic dockside prices. It was suggested, however,
that any rise in domestic warm water shrimp prices, brought about by a
reduction in imports would encourage additional effort in the domestic shrimp
fleet and a dissipation of initial gains in profit.

"Optimal Timing of Harvest for the North Carolina Bay Scallop
Fishery." American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 70(1):50-
62.
Substantial improvement is returns for the North Carolina bay scallop
fishery by delaying the opening of the season beyond its traditional date. A
general bioeconomic harvesting model was developed for use in determining the
optimal season opening/closing schedule for a seasonal fishery with the
control specified as an on/off switch. One hundred and twenty separate
scenarios were created by setting five exogenous variables to reasonable
alternative values. The optimal season is contrasted with the unregulated
case for each scenario. The optimal opening was typically two to three weeks
later than the model of past practices.

Carotenoid Contents of Alaska Pink Shrimp and Representative
Values for Several Shrimp Products." Fisheries Bulletin,
70(1):111-113.
An extraction method is described for estimating the amount of
carotenoid in pink shrimp. The carotenoid index is useful as a measure of
quality and as an indicator of changes during storage. Values for several
shrimp products are reported.
Kemp, Murray C. and Ngo Van Long (1983). "On the Economics of Forests."
International Economic Review, 24(1):113-131.
The paper describes a productive process involving the point input of
labor, the repeated input of land and the point output of forest products, and
then imbed the process in a model of the economy as a whole. The optimal
duration or maturity of the process is to be determined in terms of the
parameters of the model.
