scallop, Placopecten magellanicus, vessels operating between 1987 and 1990.
We conclude that the ten vessels had the capability to harvest considerably
more than they actually did, and the fleet could be reduced by 68% or more if
managers desire to match capacity to a recommended sustainable yield of 20
million pounds.

Industry. VSG-94-08, Virginia Sea Grant, Virginia Institute of Marine

Point, Virginia, February, 68 pp.
This study describes the east coast oyster industry as it exists today.
Oyster demand has decline substantially resulting in low prices despite low
production levels. More oysters will not revitalize the oyster industry
alone. Increased demand and a wider variety of products will be necessary
components of a successful industry revitalization.

Fishermen's Beliefs, Opinions and Perceptions Regarding the Use of
Turtle Excluder Devices." Report to the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council, Charleston, South Carolina, September, pp. 47.
Determining the beliefs and perceptions that South Atlantic shrimpers
hold relative to the federal regulations mandating TED usage prior to actual
implementation is the objective of this study. It also addresses the more
generic questions of how to successfully implement technology transfer, the
role that class plays in structuring different behaviors and reactions to new
fisheries policies, and why and how the goals of some regulations can foment
conflict and dissent among and between various groups.

A revised variable definition list based on work by Amy Gautum for use
by economists wishing to develop cost and earnings surveys of various
fisheries that retain comparability between surveys.

Design of Northeast U.S. Fishing Vessel Buyout Programs. Draft,
Northeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service,
Woods Hole, MA, 43 pp.
Both the House and Senate bills re-authorizing the Magnuson Act contain
language allowing for vessel buyout programs. A $2 million pilot program was
initiated to test aspects of a larger buyout program. Larger programs of up
to $75 million were proposed. This study used data from the pilot program to
estimate functions that assess the probability of Northeast vessels submitting
a bid to a vessel buyout program, and the expected total level of submitted
bids. The level of effort removed, groundfish revenue removed, and gear types
and multispecies categories removed at different levels of program cost are
examined. Landings tax rates needed to fund a vessel buyout are calculated
and issues such as the goals of a buyout program, consolidation of days at
sea, and alternative uses of buyout dollars are discussed.
