Knapp, Gunnar, Jeff Hartman, and Mike Mills (1999). Basic Issues in Economic
Comparisons of Commercial and Sport Fisheries: A Study of Allocation
Alternatives for Alaska s Kenai River Sockeye Salmon Fisheries.
Prepared for presentation at The Role of Economics in Fisheries
Management at the 1998 Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries
Society, Hartford, Connecticut, August, 18 pp.
Allocation between commercial and sport fisheries is becoming an
increasingly difficult and divisive issue in fisheries management. As
conflicts over allocation have increased, so has interest in the relative
economic contributions of commercial and sport fisheries. This paper
describes eight basic issues in economic comparisons of commercial and sport
fisheries. These basic issues should be considered in evaluating or planning
any economic comparison of commercial and sport fisheries - from a back-ofthe-envelope
comparison to a formal study. We illustrate these issues by
describing how they arose in an economic caparison of commercial and sport
fisheries for Alaska s Kenai river sockeye salmon.

Entry for Commercial Marine Fisheries." Final report, National

Wetland Resources, Louisiana State University.
A discussion of the legal aspects of establishing a limited entry
fishery management program in domestic fisheries. The report begins with an
introduction to the concept of limited entry. Then, a legal analysis of the
limited entry concept and related problems. Problems concerning interstate
and state federal fisheries management such as federal preemption are
discussed. The report concludes with specific recommendations concerning how
limited entry programs should be instituted since a single legal framework to
base legislation on is not possible to develop.

A study was conducted to determine species composition and weights of
fish taken during trawling for shrimp by the commercial fishery in Georgia's
close inshore waters. For all species combined and considering the state as a
unit, the average pounds per hour of trawling had a large seasonal variation.
The months of January, March, April, October, and December all averaged less
than 100 pounds per hour of trawling with December the low month at about 29
pounds followed by March at about 52 pounds. In all remaining months the
catches averaged over 120 pounds per hour of trawling with peaks in May at 245
